The last picture is fan-tas-tic. What's amazing is the progress even since JS took these pictures - the steelwork is now wrapping round the thrust wall in the south east corner. Best week of the build so far!

I see that between the nearest two vomitories the concrete steps cast in situ have finally met up with the lowest of the pcc steps. It's been a long journey. I wonder if Row S or T (I guess) will have exactly the same legroom as all the others or will it be a centimetre or two out. Rows S and...

I'd thought the view would get obliterated but now I'm having second thoughts. Need to remember that the camera is very wide angle and ther's a huge amount of distortion going on in the foreground. Anyway... The south stand terracing stops just to the right of the 'Trident submarine conning...

I agree with what you say here. Even a straight cut from one view to another in the time lapse video would be acceptable IMO. The club is being a bit 'scratchy' on this topic. They have obviously shelled out a serious amount of money for a premium webcam service - if you saw the crap cams used...

Impatient no more! Thanks a lot for the info, more goodies to look forward to.

Congratulations team - it all appears to be going terrifically. Call me impatient but I was just wondering what is the likely timing of the roof truss assembly and roof steelwork on the east stand.

Second piece at 16.15. A-maz-ing. You can now get an idea of how much it will obliterate the webcam views. BHA have said more than once said that it will stay in this position for the duration of the build. Surely they must move it / get another one?

If the club can fill the entire hospitality / middle tier with prawn sandwich types good luck to them. I'm sure that there will be plenty of top quality views for us plebs. Just don't want them resuminging their seats 10 minutes into the second half.

10.15 - some steel has arrived. Man in orange jacket points driver in direction of South Stand. Nou Nou's there waiting to receive it. More thrust wall revealed. What a start to the week!

Thanks for that. I'm feeling a little better now.

Today has got to be the most boring day yet. Fiddling around endlessly with the thrust wall blocks, all ready for another step on the east stand terrace, but no pug, and at 2.30pm not a single bugger visible on the site. Has the club defaulted on a stage payment d'you think?

If you're referring to the area pitchside at the far end, the walls are different because I think that will be one the areas for wheelchair users. There will be another immediately opposite at the front of the west stand I believe

I wish I could share your optimism - it's only 3 episodes isn't it? I've seen this type of natural history series before in recent times and generally the obsession with personalities and making it some sort of 'adventure' doesn't get any less irritating. Attenborough it ain't.

Very disappointing. The animals were bit part players in a film that was all about 'personalities'. Six pack man with squeaky voice, eye candy with immaculate and excessive make-up, mad insect lover. Dumbed down narrative struggling to be heard over music/drums. And film cameraman taking film of...

Some good comments here. Personally I thought we were heading in the right direction as regards speed and movement during the 'great escape'. RS would seem to favour that approach given his investment in wingers. Maybe with a bit more time he'll get it right. It would be wrong to view goal...

When I was a kid my dad and I used to sit in the south stand and I can recall the smoke drifting up from probably several hundred fags on the go at any one time - and probably all stubbed out on the wooden floor. In the light of the Bradford disaster it makes your blood run cold to think what...

Webcam stopped at 5pm. Is it me or are they gently accustomising us to winter rules?

I also remember in a radio interview (after he resigned) that he said that he had been misled about the timing of the move to Falmer. Actually that remark rather pissed me off. I shall neither boo nor clap.

The first glimpse of a football ground you've never visited before. Coming out of the dark from within the stand into the open air and seeing the pitch below you. Floodlight pylons seen from a train - a rare sight these days.

Well done - you're an unsung hero! Photographers get a lot of praise here on NSC but your archiving of the Falmer story is valued just as much.
