Concrete going in today in the lower terrace, with the new dugoutd being built into the stand, it still looks a awful long way from the pitch... I know years ago didn't we shorten the pitch width? Can we widen it again now? To be closer to it?
Judging by the GoS pictures the edge of the new terrace is only about 10ft from the pitch edge. One of the development blogs said it would be the same distance from the seats to the pitch as in the horseshoe.
The modern style seems to be to have the dugouts set well back from the pitch, so I don't see a problem.
You can see the pitch edge in the webcam shots and on GoS it is edged by a drain and they laid the temporary road right up to it. The first section of green is artificial, the referees assistant ran on it, and the manager's areas were on it.
They have left the crane overnight with the extending arms onto the artificial bit.
