    How does the Thrust wall hold up all of that weight?

    The answer is a bit complex but basically it is a reinforced concrete wall that acts as a beam. Buckinghams have not yet cast the bearing at the top but when you see this it looks like a 'dog head'. This is designed so that the forces go perpendicular to the wall. The foundations beneath the...

    Fabric Sails

    The sails were on the original design but have now been replaced with accoustic walling to reduce the amount of noise going out of stadium.

    East Stand arch

    The timing will be governed by a number of matters including the weather but should be mostly finished by Christmas at the latest. The video is an accurate representation of what will happen.

    Logs

    Sorry, already allocated. Have a look in a fortnight and if there are any left, ask at the gate.

    New Ground

    The necessary pipe work is being put in place. We only have planning permission for 22500. The major restricting factor on capacity is the travel plan.

    North & West Stands

    Some way off yet. The next major task is to excavate the area that was University land and to rasie the East stand arch.

    Jack Straw's Falmer Arch Chase!

    Good spotting people, although I think encouraging JS into a criminal offence is itself an offence. The bit on the back of the truck is the bit that will join with Eastbourne Gulls dog's head. Even we are getting excited now.

    Low Loader A23

    Probably, there is an enourmous amount of stuff being delivered over the next week. For instance, the crane to lift the arch will be delivered on 50 lorries and put together on site.

    Webcam again - but not a whinge

    Not my field of expertise, I struggle to use a video. However, the technical chappies are aware of it and are trying to sort it out.

    South Stand Terracing

    Give me time. Hoping that the east end of the terracing will be started within the next 2 -4 weeks. The remainder will be done when the haul route for the west stand chalk removal is no longer required.

    Roof Trusses

    Screens

    It's a bit early to go into that detail. It will probably be a mix of sky and our own programmes on the flat screen and it is usual for the match to be shown on the big screens.

    Darker evenings

    There is no electricity to most of the site and won't be for some while. They will work when and where it is safe to do so.

    They will not be going in until the roof is up and the stand is watertight, so sometime next Autumn.

    Progress update please

    I presume this is another thinly veiled dig at the time lapse camera. From that camera, you can see the work taking place on the south concourse. You could see the demolition of the cottages on UoB land. You can (just) see the demolition starting on the UoB buildings. You can see the digging...

    WEB CAM ... again

    This is not the forum for rants or for opinions. There is another place for that. This forum is to give people an opportunity to ask questions regarding the Community Stadium project (hopefully in a polite and non-confrontational manner). Your last post did not contain a question so was not...

    Corners
