Certainly makes the Dolman look a lot more prominent, with the lower section rebuilt that stand will look pretty dam good, and then there's the Williams to be done, stadium is going to look seriously impressive.

Anyone know if they're changing the roofing of the Dolman - it could do with a clean up if not, or even a coat of paint.

Surely they will, it's bloody pink. Everything else new seems to be cladded in white.

An award for Craig the grounds man as L1 grounds man of the year.
The £1M+ Desso 4 pitch probably helped but we won't tell anyone eh?

I'm not saying Craig doesn't deserve it Rich, he does a fine job but the £Million+ pitch can't have done any harm. It has been like a carpet all season to be fair.

So we bought another title then... :animatedf:
I have no doubt some may see it that way. Let's be fair, it's a magnificent surface and Craig, along with his team, deserve every accolade they receive.

In all seriousness - it looks like the same colour of the seats in Old Trafford.

Will fade ever so slightly in the sun over time as well - but personally, I think they look pretty good.

Haha - have you been on OTIB? Apparently they're wonky and the wrong colour.

There has been a total blow out on there, hence my 'burgundy' comment. They're a slightly darker shade of red, big bleedin' deal!

OTIB will find a fault in anything - miserable bastards.

Have some respect that the bloke behind all this is piling Millions and Millions out of his own pocket for you to have the luxury of this new stand.

I do love that section of seating. Going to be badly exposed to any bad weather for the first few months of the season, well, until they build the new main stand roof that is. Don't envy any fans with seats in that block thats for sure.

Oh and those seats clearly have just been placed there, obviously not been bolted in yet. There are some really stupid people out there, ones who shouldn't be allowed access to a keyboard!

They've 'closed' off the open end of the stand JJ, so it shouldn't be too bad. That area is being used, temporarily, as corporate seating so I can't see them getting the perils of a west country winter TBH.

Nice pic JJH. Apart from a bit of white paint on the wall, that's how I remember it in the mid 70's.

The williams was where I saw my first ever city match, and where I almost always sat during the early 90s. Its the end of an era.

One out of two stands will be completed. The South Stand redevelopment was this season, the Williams will be next season.
