Well, I've been onto NASA for you and requested they use their spy satellites to take intricate, Hi-Def pictures of the emerging stand with each pass. Of course, this means there will be daylight shots of the progress, as well as some really moody nighttime shots too. They said if you log onto their website there will also be infra red pictures as an added bonus. X-Rays of the site will cost a nominal fee though, and can be paid by debit card online.

I do hope you appreciate the efforts I'm making here.  ;)
I asked NASA to do the same for Everton's new ground but they told me to sling my hook as they deal in science, not fiction

Stellar efforts there I must say sir! I must say you and a few others really are going to the stars and back to make sure the best coverage of this build is achieved! :D

I was nearby yesterday and very nearly swung by to get some footage to post on here, but in the end didn't have time to stop. We're all thinking of you and how the lack of club coverage is affecting you.

"very nearly" and "didn't have time"?? Thats f*ckin shite. Jurgen wouldn't tolerate that!

Can we not make every construction worker go through surgery to be fitted with a bionic eye which live streams their every move during construction? I know if may sound a tad excessive but people need instant and constant updates on each brick laid and I don’t really see any other option.

As long as they remember to turn it off when they go the bog. That's one live "stream" I could do without.  😳

Thank you.  8)

I might add, I was on the Wirral this afternoon and bumped into our own James Bond 007, Mr Daniel Craig in the chippy in West Kirby.

He told me to keep this to myself, but I know you won't tell anyone. Anyway, Skyscrapercity have secretly drafted him in to do weekly spying missions on the progress of the new ARE. He will be taking Hi-Def pictures through a camera lens hidden in an LFC pen he bought from the club shop after the Atleti game last night. I can't say more as it's all hush hush, but the covert footage will be posted nightly under an assumed name.

No shit Craig. It's important that all the coverage gets to the very bottom of this build. Every crack and orifice should be shown and magnified. No holes should go unexamined!

Looks like it may be from the same day as the video above.

Btw some fella on SSC says he saw two cranes on site this week. Hopefully we'll see vertical structures in place very soon.
