Latest time lapse. Looks like they have started work on the builds near the shipping containers which I assume is going to be the new housing and hotel.

Unless someone snuck it past me when I wasn't looking, the housing and hotel still do not have detailed planning consent, only outline consent, so they couldn't be building anything like that now. There's a whole complicated raised piazza south of the stadium - it could be preparatory work for that.

Can't believe the traction this has gotten. It's a poor photoshop and a "my friend's uncle works high up at FedEx", why do people believe the shit spouted around on Twitter.

hope this is true their drivers give the company a bad name, if i'd had a witness i'd of taken them to court for 1 of their drivers causing me have a fall and aggravate an elbow injury

Wow, the OS reveals the moveable pitch will be installed over 12 weeks from October. Things really moving fast now...

I'm surprised we've got the football pitch as being the bit that is moved in/out, while it's the NFL pitch that's "permanent".
Seems odd considering 20+ football matches per season and only 2/3 NFL games.

I am sure there is a reason - probably with how best to care for the grass pitch particularly with artificial "sun" lighting - but I think the expectations will be a number of non-NFL events at the stadium also - concerts and such, where they will want the grass pitch out of harm's way. And, they hope that the NFL grows to 10+ games per year if a team relocates to London.
