View looking across the pitch area towards the West Stand, 21 January 1997.

The first five roof beams are now in place on the West Stand.
In the foreground you can see the beginnings of the East Stand. Once the East Stand starts to take shape it may be more difficult to get photographs showing the progress of the constuction.

The first roof supports being fixed on the West Stand, 14 January 1997

Sorry about the poor quality of this photograph, the sun was low and the sky was clear and I could not get a good vantage point. The photograph shows the two cranes hanging the first roof supports in position for the steel erectors to fix to the main steel stucture.
