The whole project look like an interesting one. I love coming to Fev when the Eagles play there. Its a smashing traditional ground, with a great atmosphere. The new stands will make it more up to date. I wish Sheffield had a stadium more like it!

Why not join us and become a Rover, you'll be more than welcome.

Rain never does, the preparatory works are well under way getting the steel ready for erection ones the foundations have been cast.

Tehe... Erection.

Are there tents you can put up when youre laying foundations? or does the humidity stop it anyway?

[sidnee]

Concrete actually sets quicker under water believe it or not! Also depends on type of foundations that are going in, will it need piling first?

Besides, don't think you can get a cheap tent 75mtrs long!!!!

It may be best to ask the club directly about the progress of the development.
I do know the volunteers have been busy preparing and painting the exterior steelwork. This progress you cannot always see from a distance and this work is reliant on the weather conditions. As for the removal of the terracing and the groundworks preparation I don't know, like I say for accurate info. it will be best to ask the club. Hope this helps.

any more news on the groundwork front ?? is the railway end gone yet

I got told 2 week ago that we are a month in front of where we should be with the ground upgrades. Don't know how true this is as I haven't been to the ground. But I will know when I pick up the home and away shirts.Hope this little bit of info helps.

[sidnee]

75% of steel processed, starting on the concrete soon. Terracing coming out imminently. Approx 1mtr of training pitch to come out to get back to clay for foundations.
