General view from Pride Parkway about 1,000 metres from the stadium.

This photograph does not look very different from the one showing the same view last month. The main entrance can be seen (centre right) as a stainless steel square arch.

The Main Entrance (North Stand)

Looking ultra modern and fit to enter the new millenium.

The Main Entrance (Last month)

This is last month's photograph, again there appears to be little change in the five weeks.

View between the North Stand and the East Stand

Working towards the July opening.

This is the only opening remaining to view the inside of the stadium. The undersoil of the pitch has been spread ready to take the turf. The steelwork suggests that this vantage point will cease to exist soon. I will write to the main contractors and ask for permission to enter the site for the next photographic update. Wish me luck !

View looking towards the south west.

This photo was taken from a grassy bank close to Sainsbury's at the Wyvern Centre. This view makes the staduim look very large, complex but totally uninspiring.
