They might be waiting to commission some new ones...

Apparently they will be replaced, Mr Drone was speaking to one of the workers yesterday or day before. Seems daft to take down the old ones if they haven't already got the new ones to go up.

I'm guessing all those office were no longer in use? If they were, it would be grim in there, hidden behind that timeline. No natural light and just a few fluorescent tubes flickering with a sickly yellow glow. Probably mushrooms growing on the 70s ceiling tiles. The smell of kenwright's cheap aftershave still wafting through the corridors.

Can't they take that corrugated crap off and do something more permanent? would be great if they could structurally modernise the place, rather than just stick a branded tarp over it.

We have a history of doing daft things.

The brickwork behind was never on display unlike the Bullens/Gwladys and in those stands it wasn't amazing, so god knows what sort of a mess lurks behind the main stand. It would cost way too much to sort, to the point you may as well knock it down and start again. Given the rails for the tarp are already in place it is a quick win.

Very true.

They're not offices - they ẁere windows for concourses and lounges in the main.

Would be terrifying standing up there. Like Boca juniors.

Would love to see the Street End and Bullens stripped back to their original state. Not sure what’s lurking underneath but I’m sure it looks better than all those corrugated metal sheets!

Dirty red brick mostly

Can see here what it looks like under the cladding:

Hopefully they've sorted the glass before it dropped on someone.

Some guy on youtube pointed it out while filming it was flapping in the wind just ready to fall out
He reported to the guys on site

What you can see there are (relatively) new bricks, from when the windows were bricked up.
