Nothing to worry about, with Harry in his current form it's only possible for him to count from 2 upwards.

Also noticed 2 key things
i) Flooring being done for Steel south stand, which is a massive progress. This means foundation & steel setting is done for the single tier stand
ii) Trench/Foundation dug along the pitch sideline for the elevated platform for sliding pitch. This means preparation work for sliding pitch is also well underway

I have been watching the preparations for the roof to go on with keen interest, especially on the North and West sides. Never seen anything like it before and still can't work out how they will do it.

Some of the guys in work with me carried out some work on site there not so long back for Vinci I think the firm is called, and they were amazed at how it's going up and the sheer size of it.

As I understand it (from one of my colleagues who worked on our roofing bid) the cable structure will be made at low level then winched in to place and then tightened up, then the the solid structure will follow on top.
I'm not 100% certain but believe the solid structure will be made up of a number of roofing 'cassettes'. From what I understand this is the quickest process available.

That is correct, the structure will go up in the cable network, with secondary steel and then the cassettes on top.

Comments like this surprise me, were they amazed because they haven't seen the process of such a stadium being built before or because it's big in comparison to other similar stadiums? If you know what I mean.

He says he left Fairview before they got involved in this project. Ah well.

Just a thought. I know that big red and yellow crane can be dismantled to an extent, but I hope they can get it through the opening in the East Stand at the end of the project. Ah well, we can always park it in front of our goal! #oops..

Edwards weekly update to yesterday (7th). Great to see the terracing going in on the South Stand now.
In my spare time I watch the odd game at the Kassam (Oxford Utd) so feel safe that we are not going to end up with a 3 sided carbuncle now!.
