Nothing to say screens couldn’t be bigger than the frame tho, so the third leg could be a centre mount 

Yeah totally - if the screens are bigger and front mounted then they will put a greater tipping moment through the frame - which maybe is why they need that extra supporting truss. 

Something will be different at any rate 🙂

Wonderful analysis this morning.

Oh that looks like a wider frame than previous. Maybe it is going to be a bigger screen? 

Yes, looks wider, here’s the 2016 frame  middle strut this year

There was someone standing on haystacks taking a picture of the lift. I didn’t get a screenshot of them in time but I’m wondering if we’ll see those pics shortly 🤔

You are imagining it … they all went home at 2pm yesterday for the bank holiday weekend 😉

Would be funny if after all this speculation the width of the supports and the size of the screen is exactly the same as before.

Or if they just stuck a 50” plasma on that centre pillar or something. Surrounded by lots of fairy lights.

Something similar happened with the Other Stage in 2019. From the webcam, we could see differences in the configuration and all sorts of wild theories were thrown about on what this could mean for the festival.

In the end it looked absolutely identical from the field.

could we see screens a la Leeds this year? I don't think they'd look good on the pyramid but I think they'd look amazing on the other stage

Now if they could just push those two screens together and change the channel to, I dunno, Gardener's World or something.

Enjoy... and pictures please 😉

The Tor was very busy and had to be a tour guide for about 50 people asking where the festival was 😂

[al_coholic]

curious to see where this extra bit they are lifting now is going

[dotdash79]

Is it for the speakers to hang off?

Crossing swords ? Looks like tower 2 might be about to start

Big red crane jib now folded away. Either finished for the day or getting ready to move across to the other frame .  
In the words of the fast show, Today I have been mainly watching the webcam

Poor old Pangea sitting there watching and thinking 'Ooh won't be long before they fit my jib 😊'

Yes, it’s pissing down up here and I think it’s heading south, the reason I’ve spent the day gazing at the webcam

The crane’s boom has extended again, we’re not done yet.
