We take a look at the progress of the fourth stand at Deepdale as Preston North End race to have it finished in time for the opening game of the season.
The development, to be named after PNE's famous 1880s Invincibles side, will bring the capacity of Deepdale up to around 24,000.

The opening, before the first home game of next season, will complete a 12-year redevelopment of the historic stadium which started in August 1996 with the official opening of the Sir Tom Finney Stand.

The Bill Shankly Kop followed in June 1998 and the Alan Kelly Town End was finished in November 2001.

When completed, the £6m-plus development will seat around 4,000 fans and include 21 executive boxes, two hospitality lounges, a players' bar and a new ground control box for police

And with the seats now being fitted, it's looking more like a football stadium each day.

The seating certainly does appear to be very steep. The stand does look very impressive though. Will it always be considered a 'stand' when in fact it is a 'seating' ? ;-))

Is the stand really that steep ?.i went to Derby i sat high up in their stand .it was not fun .it was too steep i mean we were packed in like dead flies and if you stood up you were allmost falling onto the people in front .I go on the town end and you have less steep bigger seats bigger isles if the new stand is copying the dead fly syndrome it will remain empty etcept for FAT cats eating lobster
