This has probably been answered already but I must have missed it. Where do those big lighting rigs that are currently over the pitch go when they’re not in use? I don’t see any access points to roll them inside the stadium.

The same Talksport that called the recent delay before it was announced and were vilified for it?

We need to break the habit of rubbishing people all the time, they're often right whether we like the news or the broadcaster broadcasting it.
Not rubbishing it and I like listening to it but that doesn't change the fact that a segment called the 'Daily Tottenham' can only be designed to goad fans for the purpose of generating phone calls, texts, tweets etc. It's a commercial broadcaster and it's all about driving ratings.

This is a good question and that's why I don't believe they are lighting rigs, not permanent ones anyway. We had lighting rigs for the pitch at the old ground and they didn't stay in the stadium permanently.

I think the pitch lighting rigs stow away in trenches at the North end of the pitch. That's is the reason for the extra distance from pitch to row 1 in north compared to the south.

They fold away and go under ground, think it's on the northstand side. Seen a video of it somewhere, quite a clever idea

There's been repeated sharing of a video that shows how it works. They're on motorised wheels that roll into and under the north stand lower tier.

They will go in a trench behind the North Stand.

City on Monday is fact in to many places not to be. And it’s also the most logical solution. Just better hope it doesn’t rain that weekend.

I've heard a whisper we've asked to switch the U23 game away at Blackburn on 28/09 to be a home game for us the following week. Logic says this is so it can become a test event for the new ground?

I've heard that from someone on the Blackburn end though, so the stadium bit is a total guess but don't know why else we'd ask. This guy has no track record so big pinch of salt to take with this.

I believe they are lighting rigs, seen one coming up from behind where the goal will be by the North Stand 2 weeks ago on the live stream, interesting to see where they'll be stored when the NFL use the ground.
