Roof pictures
 

I have started a new section on the fishy gallery "Clayton End Roof" and I will keep adding to that..

Right now it's just the delivery of steel framework. These won't be up until tomorrow. I will go back and take more pics and every day that something changes I will record.. Not just to keep us all happy knowing it's happening but for prosperity. So just a few for now and more on Thursday

Re: Roof pictures
 

At long last. The light at the end of the tunnel is now clearly visable.

:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

lets hope they finish the job some for when the bad weather arrives when its cold.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Cheers Mr K...at last, it's happening! :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

You mean like the last two weeks. lol

:rofl38:

Re: Roof pictures
 

Thanks Kipax. Its great to see.

Glad it appears they are following the style of the main stand roof.

Re: Roof pictures
 

never thought i would find cranes and girders interesting but ........ there does appear to be an f in roof after all:)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Thanks Kipax. Interesting that the roof girder theme is being used to keep the ground asthetically(sp) similar.A sure sign that Eric is not going to relocate as this girder option is surely dearer than a more conventional ,simple construction...

Re: Roof pictures
 

Oooo I'm finally getting all excited.. I'm like a giddy kipper :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

More pictures added and you can now see the roof taking shape.. how high and how far out it goes... I will take more tommorow late on when most of the framework should be complete.. should be brill pics on friday :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Looks promising, but it is going to go all the way to the seated stand end of the terracing...isn't it?

Re: Roof pictures
 

eh kipax your getting good at that photoshop now it looks very life like ;) :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Its not just the bit at the end if thats what ya mean...guffaw! :)

All will be clear when the pics are posted tommorow :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I'm hoping its going all the way to the Crown :rolleyes: :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

OK, sorry, it's just that after all these years, I still can't quite believe it's coming to fruition! Thanks for keeping us updated, Mr K. Looking forward to tomorrow's pics with much anticipation!

Re: Roof pictures
 

Mr Kipax could you please put a tape measure on the top step to the steel girder not a lot of room for the drummer to swing his stick:eek:

Re: Roof pictures
 

LOL.... see what you mean. There's going to be some bruised heads and fists when we score. :eek:

Re: Roof pictures
 

any plans for a roof on the away end or should we bring our brollies in February ?

Re: Roof pictures
 

Nice to see this coming together, what will we have to bitch about this year eh?

Cheers Mr K. more of the same please Sir.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Definately bring your brollies, but don't worry if you forget them - the OSC can sell you one at a very reasonable price :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Golly, the beams do look a foot or so too low. If thats the height,I bet some joker will swing themselves out to the end at the first home game.. :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

No worries John, This is Stanley, not Burnley. The only dingles swinging on the end of our beams will be the ones we put there, maybe we'll hang the odd Monkey as well a couple of times this season......:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Am I right in saying that the fancy engineering that runs along the top is asthetically(sp) different to the main stand(s) ?

Re: Roof pictures
 

I could be wrong, but I bet I'd crack my head on those beams if i was on the back row. Isn't there a health and safety issue there? I wonder if someone has got their measurements wrong? ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Could be that height for work purposes,,and they will jack it up at the finish.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Wow, things are really moving! Eric told me on Tuesday that the steel was arriving yesterday and, as ever, he's as good as his word.

I promised my friend from Darlington, who stood with us in the rain last year and was very good and didn't cheer when Darlo scored, that there would be a roof for the first home game so now I won't have to eat my words!

Re: Roof pictures
 

My son went up yesturday and its looking very impressive over half done in a couple of day so it will be done for first game so all you clayton enders will be nice and dry no need to run to the cow sheds now also we will be able to see the moaning away fans :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Todays pics now up.. As you can see end to end framework...

there wont be much happening over the weekend so next update monday late...

Re: Roof pictures
 

little bit concerned that the framework is higher on the left (if your looking from the coppice end) than the right. Is this to accomodate TM hehehe

Re: Roof pictures
 

:rofl38: you never know it might;):D


Tho the roof supports look low or is it just how it looks on pics:confused:

Re: Roof pictures
 

Look at these two pics I think judging by the Fraser Eagle sign and the tops of peoples heads it'll just be big enough....be a bit snug though....no jumping!!

Re: Roof pictures
 

Looks good but, as Ozzy says, why is on quarter at a slightly different height from the other three-quarters?

Re: Roof pictures
 

Cause its still attached to the crane and being put in place as he took the pic :-)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I've banged my head a few times on the Whinney Hill cover, so there's no way I'm going under there. ;) :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

As KSH says.. its not been put in place yet..

Lets a have a few positives eh people.. come on.. ya got a roof! :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Errr not in full yet we aint - we got GIRDERS tho:rolleyes: :D

YEH!

Re: Roof pictures
 

There's no 'f' in girders, is there ?

Re: Roof pictures
 

:rofl38: now theres a new title for the fanzine then heheheheheheeeee:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Does look very close for heads, like tin monkey said is health and safety not an issue ? :s

Re: Roof pictures
 

It s looking really good. great pics kipax.

as someone who was born in cornwall this is looking very much like a redroof to me:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Looking Good will it be ready for Man City Game? Is there room for the ultras flags?:confused:

Re: Roof pictures
 

downside is - wont be able to fly the flags as freely - its a low roof - so any flags will block the view of others more than other stands in the football league.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Sod the flags ... we've got an f in roof!!!!

Re: Roof pictures
 

http://www.footballgroundz.co.uk/pictures/luton5b.jpg Could be they are after the Luton look..

Re: Roof pictures
 

There Will Be A Sketch Of It In The Local Council Offices - One Is Required For Plantning Permission.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Yep, you're right, it's a roof, it'll keep us dry and there'll be a lot more noise coming from the Clayton End next season. Way-hey!! :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

roof=dry theats positive enough for me:Banane26::Banane26:

Re: Roof pictures
 

Yeah, time to smile and not to moan. ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I'm just looking forward to hearing the real Ultra noise coming forward with the backing of the xtra bodies at home.

I implore everybody who likes to have a sing now and then to really make an effort for the Leicester match

Re: Roof pictures
 

With That in mind might be worth the club considering dropping the price to £10 adults & £5 for concessions for the game let's pack the place out, sing our hearts out, create an intimidating atmosphere and become the so called 12th man!!:)

Re: Roof pictures
 

But plenty of Irn Bru from bonnie Scotland

Re: Roof pictures
 

:Banane51:if you stand at the top of the steps on the crown car park looking at the advert board there is at least 2 ft of room above the board pluse the thickness or the girders:):)proberly 10 t 12 foot in hight in total:)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Please post some progress pics before you head to bonny Scotland KIPAX.. :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I am only going scotland on the sat.. cant afford the fuel to go midweek at 60 quid a trip....

Roof... nothing much to report on monday... should be some changes today and will be up there to photograph later this aft :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Walked by this afternoon and didn't see much change from Crown side.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Just doing the pics now..

Good news is for all you lanky lot.. its 8.6 ft from floor to lowest part of girder

I wouldn't hold yer breath for it being ready or usable for the city game...

Roll on Leicster

Re: Roof pictures
 

will that end be closed then for the fans?

Re: Roof pictures
 

no idea... steelwork should be completed by end of tommorow and then the cladding starts but that can take up to 2 weeks.. dunno if finished in time. dunno if can open it while not finished.... you know as much as me now :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

many thanks. look forward to viewing more pics

Re: Roof pictures
 

Ten new pics added :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I think its amazing what a difference the roof is beginning to make to that end. It looks so much bigger and now (from the right perspective) we have half of a football league ground.

I personally can't wait to listen to the away fans moaning about getting wet :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Wow...looks real good.Thanks KIPAX.

Re: Roof pictures
 

ain't it grand ! - thanks Mr Chairman - and thanks Tony for allowing us remote Stanleynuts to 'watch' the progress. If I can secure a ticket for the Leicester game I'll take some leave and come 'home' to see it in the steel, so to speak.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Wow! That looks the business! Thank you Mr K and thank you, Eric!

Re: Roof pictures
 

looking good - thanks again

Re: Roof pictures
 

It's looking better & better!

Re: Roof pictures
 

Re: Roof pictures
 

Looking Brill :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Nice to see Hereford fans having a peek at the new roof - we can see you sneeking in ExLandlord HUFC

Re: Roof pictures
 

Evening Bagpuss.....looks good. Pity about "our" end but I guess that will come in time.

Re: Roof pictures
 

But if Eric Whalley decides to stick some seats in there it will become your end.:(

Re: Roof pictures
 

Theres never been any plans for seats in there and according to the club there never will be..

Re: Roof pictures
 

It is looking very good. I'll enjoy looking at it from the Cow Shed ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

seats will come in the end nothing anyone can do about that

Re: Roof pictures
 

You wouldn't have next weeks lottery numbers as well would you?

Re: Roof pictures
 

So we are not aiming for ther prem then!!:rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
 

I very much doubt that we'd be playing Championship football, never mind Premiership football, at the current location.

Putting seats on the home terrace is an option, but there are many more viable options available I'm sure. This 'rumour' has come about because someone on here suggested it. It's never been something that has a basis in fact.

Re: Roof pictures
 

great pics Mr K and glad to see it happening.

Re: Roof pictures
 

This where the rumour started and I believe it will be considered as an option.

Re: Roof pictures
 

So basically, it's what I said isn't it? Rumour, conjecture, whatever you want to call it. There is no basis in fact, although it is an option open to the club.

Re: Roof pictures
 

What sort of crackpot logic is this? If there is an option open to the club, then there has to be a basis in fact.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Well rather than go by crackpot rumours started on messageboards by people who should know better... I asked Rob Heys the Club chief exec who told me he had no idea where the rumour started and there are no plans and never have been to put seats in the clayton end..

Although if you want to go with macca and bagpuss then feel free... just letting you know what the horses mouth said :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

That is totally senseless. If there is an option open to the club to demolish the ground and build a swimming pool instead, does that have a basis in fact?? Don't be so silly. :rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
 

Ahhh... so there is no basis to the fact/rumour? ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

There we are with a bit of careful editing of Tin Monkeys post we can see quite clearly that TM has just told us what the club really have in mind for the FES.;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I thought all my messages were subliminal? :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Nothing subliminal about the message I thought it was to the point with no reading between the lines.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Slightly off topic, and a bit uncool. :o

How do you get to choose the words under your name, i.e. "it's not true....honest!!", or "I'm Vitriolic Me".

I'm fed up with "Senior Member", sorry, but I've just had another birthday, and it kinda rubs it in when I log on. :bleedht:

Help a :confused: old man, please.


Roof looks good BTW, was up there the other night.

Re: Roof pictures
 

I don't know for sure, but I think you have to wait until you hit 'God Member' status at 2000 posts.

Re: Roof pictures
 

If that's true it's 1232 bits of wisdom to go, feel older than ever, now. :(

I'll have forgotten what I wanted by the time I get there. :confused:

Re: Roof pictures
 

You become God member at 2000 posts, but you have to donate to the site to change the text yourself.

Re: Roof pictures
 

"How did it happen?" the doctor asked the middle-aged builder as he set the man's broken leg.

"Well, doc, 25 years ago ..."

"Never mind the past. Tell me how you broke your leg this morning."

"Like I was saying...25 years ago, when I first started working on the building, that night, right after I'd gone to bed, the boss's beautiful daughter came into my room. She asked me if there was anything I wanted. I said, "No, everything is fine."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"I'm sure," I said.

"Isn't there anything I can do for you?" she wanted to know.

"I reckon not," I replied.

"Excuse me," said the doctor, "What does this story have to do with your leg?"

"Well, this morning," the builder explained, "when it dawned on me what she meant, I fell off the Clayton End roof!"

;-)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Grrrrooooooooaaaaannnnnnnn! :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Thanks for that. [1231]

Re: Roof pictures
 

any updates on the roof kipax???

Re: Roof pictures
 

No. You are the senseless silly one. An option is an alternative course of action, to be considered and then either executed or dismissed. It is irrelevant whether the club has considered this (seating ) or not, or if it is indeed no more than an unfounded rumour - an option is a fact. I do not wish to get involved in a discussion on semantics, pragmatics or syntax but I would suggest that you try to be a little more careful in your use of language.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Oh dear.... in your book of English grammar and meaning, does the word contradiction exist? Pompous arse. :rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
 

In other words, I am right and you are wrong. Go on, admit it.

Re: Roof pictures
 

No it isn't, it's an option, a possibility. It may be a viable option, it may be a fact that the option exists, but in itself an option is not a fact. If that option is taken it could become a fact, but by then it has ceased to be an option. :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

As another pedant, I must agree - an option is not a fact.

It was a fact that there wasn't a roof.

It was an option to build a roof.

The option is being taken.

It is now a fact (unless Kipax is taking his pictures somewhere else :)) that a roof is being built.

It will be an option to put seats under that roof.

It is not necessarily a fact that anyone is considering that option.

I think I'll go to sleep now.
