Old demolition Dan went a bit off piste over on SSC didn't he.
I'd love to see him getting in to it with Al.

Hold the phone.
They definitely could be the same person.

I was deeply offended… my family has suffered greatly. You read the post and my reaction.

Ah, didn't see that, think it all got deleted - thought it was out of order myself.
Sorry for dragging it in here - lets leave it at that.

Seems we have a imminent truss lift to look forward to!!

When the stand’s finished will they remove the rail fence currently separating the park from the stadium? Anyone know?

This is excellent footage from Paul Frost showing ground-level activity and the truss interconnection sections under fabrication at the Stanley Park site office laydown area.

That's great. The side sections of the truss look like they've been assembled on some kind of trolley. I assume they'll be wheeled into range of the big cranes. I didn;t see any sign of the trusses that connect the back of the seating to the main roof truss. I'd expect some of those to be on site soon to stabilise everything.

Wow that looks like it shows the final stages of development where the new structure is in place and the current upper tier is removed along with the current roof and roof truss/supports. Haven't seen anything like this available online anywhere. I wonder should I ask Chris does he know where the full video might be available?1 :-) It'd be great to see the full video!

 My crappy old iPad won't let see that latest Twitter footage.

Love watching the progress of this work, and as ever living by the ground I go up once or twice a week to have a look first hand at how things are developing  (just like I did with The Kop and Main Stand work)

I look forward to the experts views and opinions as well you see on here, very informative, so this next question is for those people please.

We never see much footage of the dismantling of the old structure, and its always intrigued me how difficult a job this must be. I mean, was the current Annie Rd built with the possibility of future expansion in mind, so therefore the roof, the supporting truss and upper tier could be removed without much hassle?

You see, I would think if that was not the case, and the structure was 'made to last' as it were, it would be a difficult task in removing the best part of it.

Them two crawler cranes have been on site for over two weeks now must be costing a fortune. Hope its not coming out of the Bellingham transfer kitty.
With the support towers and side trusses almost complete .There is still no sign of the roof trusses this must holding things up. Will they have to be assembled on site like the side trusses ?

Is it due to be ready for the start of the season, or will they use the seats already there til it's completed?

My guess is they wanted to get them in, assembled and parked at the back of the site while they finish off the roof truss supports and other preliminary works and before the site was too crowded. Quick sketch showing what I think is going on.



The gaps left at either side are for the two crawler cranes to allow them to lift the roof truss sections. Centre section (sketched green) is on the first floor slab behind the Anfield Road Stand. Two ebd sections (blue( will be wheeled across from the car park. three or four rafters (orange) will be installed between the roof truss and the back of the seating to stabilise the whole thing.

Just noticed this - which trusses are you talking about? The side sections and centre section are all on site. Do you mean the rafters that connect the main truss to the seating tiers?

Looks like one of the cranes on site is about to lift one of the side trusses in the stanley park compound on to a truck.

The first photo also shows one of the roof truss's that will connect the back of the upper tier to the main roof truss.

Yeah, although to many it may look ambitious for next August/ September a big plus for the build schedule and programme is the World Cup in November and December, effectively gives them a straight 6 week run without the disruption of having to accommodate games in what is usually a very busy stage of the season

I really don’t know what to think about that roof truss to be honest. It’s messing with my head as I quite liked the original render without it.

Not sure if all the drone footage has been deceiving, but that truss on the render looks a lot bigger than what they have built on that platform to me?
