I went down to the tigers ground this morning to have a ganders at the two MASSIVE cranes lifting the king truss into place on the new caterpillar stand.
Joint lift, between Ainscough and Sarens, 2 x 1000 tonne mobile cranes

I'll add more pics later

Enjoy...

Ainscough




Ainscough on right, sarens on left, viewed from car park at rear of new stand, truss about 6ft off ground at this point






On the red cherry picker (bottom left), someone had removed the "a" from "caunton steel" on the other side of it, didnt get a pic though


The local chavs insisted this pick was "bare badman" and "safe yeh" amongst other things














Brave lad he was properly hanging out the basket at one point





More later!
