I'm really liking the veil. Makes it stand out as different rather than just a glass finish.I'm always amazed by how quick progress is, but also that there seem to be big gaps in progress whether caused by 'preparation work' such as installing framework for the veil, or waiting for more deliveries of the veil or whatever other unknown reason why progress isn't happening for a couple of days.
But progress there is, even if not linear.
Here is the veil and installed TV screen on the west side today - and the picture below is from 3 weeks ago on 21 October
Vive la difference !
21 October
With luck, within the next week the TV screen will have been tested and the veil on the rest of the West side completed - we are now a good 75% complete.
East side is much further behind, but much of the framework is in place, so when the contractors start with a bit of momentum it could be completed within 3 - 4 weeks.
The South stand seems to be enormously more complicated framework with veil pieces almost individually crafted to fit, but visually it looks as if the vast majority of framework is in place - so crossing fingers and toes its all coming together within that 3-4 week timescale !

Oh you did better than me . FairPlay guido
I made the centre page of the mirror ... not just me ... that would've been a crap demonstration.
But yeah I was proud of that for some time
A dark period indeed
I still think the Stratford thing was a huge red herring, to give Haringey council a wake up call. The whole Tottenham area would have ended up as a ghost town if the club moved out of the area.

First test powering up of TV screen - Done !
I do wonder why they opted against a normal screen shape. Surely the style they've gone for cuts out a fair old slab of what they could show on it
Tech boys will make it work ... it will just be another "unique" feature at NWHL ... good to be different
Nope absolutely not, theres no way he'd have been able to hoodwink the likes of AEG (who would have also bought us had we got it) (who would have bought us eventually) ... or if thats your train of thought you must also think he took the interest free loan from the fans knowing the ground would never be ready in time having also hoodwinked the NFL.
He was making eyes at Stratford the moment we won the Olympic bid.

no, under him, we signed players that better clubs didn't want anymore. West Ham sign players who are passed it. Slight difference.
Left the house at 7 and saw the unbelievable sunrise. My first thought was I bet WHL looks great.
Passed at about the same time on the way into Kings Cross, that photo doesnt do the skyline justice - admittedly its a much closer shot of the stadium than the view from Drayton Park
Just my opinion, I suppose the only people who would really know is Daniel himself and his inner circle.
With regards to the stadium, I can't believe that he would want to pay all the extra costs that have come along with the delay. They were doing everything to make it happen. I still think that Daniel makes decisions for the good of the Club (not that he always gets it right), but he has to balance it with good business sense too.
Was thinking last night that I wish they'd name the stands, club shop, whatever else after some greats of the club. Bill nic probably deserves the whole place to be named after him tbh
A sweatshop called: cAndy Booth?
How brilliant would that be.......but would probably cost the earth!!
That would save me having to suffer my usual New Years let down
Great idea. Really. If that could happen
