Surely they're going to put up some temporary hoardings? Spurs won't miss the chance to put up some relevant advertising also?

Or a sign - Mind the gap??
Does anybody with a good understanding if the build know what the next stage is right now? Looking at the feeds it seems that virtually all areas have been prepared to the same stage? I can see steel rod shoots coming out the ground all over and im guessing this is for the structure to fix down in some way?
Looking impressive and very tidy and can see various larger materials on site now but cant tell what they are? I wonder when the framework for the stadium is due?

I don't know if I can explain it very well, but the build will continue in this manner for a while.
Central cores going up a level, columns being cast on the rebar sticking out of the floor. The metal trusses being put up, plyboard etc, then rebar and cables laid and concrete poured.
Rinse and repeat as you slowly work your way up. With each floor up getting smaller and there for quicker.
Once it reaches a certain point, the metal work will start to go in.
Actual terracing won't go in till quite late, especially on the bottom tier.
Expected point by January.
Expected progress by May 17.

Man. It's really happening. This saga has been going on almost as long as I've supported this club. A mixture of sadness at the end of an era and excitement for the future, and the long-term future at that.
I'm not from Tottenham myself but I hope this also plays a part in generally improving the area for the Tottenham locals and it isn't just a shiny spaceship with a few improved transport links and the initial fanfare and optimism for the area in general is quickly forgotten.

Even without this stadium, I think Tottenham is changing anyway. Sometimes I don't recognise it, when I go into a coffee shop etc. The money in the city is moving in simply because outside of the high road and estates, Tottenham actually has really good housing stock, combine that with the River Lea, and good access to the city. Being priced out of Islington and Hackney people are moving to Tottenham instead, and finding it ain't actually all that bad.
My foster brother was having a convo with his boss (who earns just shy of a 100k a year) about where he was looking at buying a house. Tottenham was one of his choices. As everywhere else is to expensive apparently. My brother couldn't believe it, but that is what is happening.
Obviously this then raises points about local being priced out, new money coming in and gentrification etc. I could write an essay on it so I won't on here.

How is the Paxton roof being supported in this photo? Doesn't the metal structure that demolition is currently happening around need to stay up?

They must have thought of something, but that picture certainly doesn't make it clear. We'll soon find out if they plan on adding supports elsewhere or if they have an even better trick up their sleeve.

When does it officially become too late to do the 'Yeah but Levy is not really building a new stadium <roll eyes>' joke ?

Just watching the Anniversary Games at the OS on TV and my goodness, what a relief we didn't up renting that place. I just can't see how, even with the drop in seats shuffled forward a bit, it will be suitable for football in any way. Can't wait to play WH at our new place and see the looks on their faces...
