An erection at last

[EastbourneGull]

Drove on the A27 past the Falmer site about an hour ago and got a fleeting glimpse of a section of steelwork for the east stand - erected. Was I dreaming or can someone corroborate his sighting?

I drove past Falmer for the 1st time in over a year last week, I have say the progress in the flesh is fecking impressive. I bored everyone I met that evening banging on about how exciting it all seemed now, having actually seen our new home as a work in progress

Just drove past, and confirm there is definitely some erected steel; unfortunately I couldn't take any pics.

Was passing this afternoon and took this pic - my first time at the site and I was well impressed at how much work is going on. Very exciting.

Well, there's the sponsorship settled. Viagra Park. Or The Cialis Stadium. Or Levitra Lane.

The stand which is being erected,does anyone know its capacity and is it a single or double tier stand.

At present I think it would comfortably hold a dozen or so

If ever there was a smiley for tossing yourself off,i would have used it with this picture.

 

[natterjack]

what about the other three?

From preliminary drawings for approval, so don't shoot me if it alters:-

South 2,600
North 2,700
East 5,400
West 11,900

Total number of seats 22,600 but the capacity is 22,500

That steelwork looks a bit wonky to me...

That steelwork looks a bit wonky to me...

Think its the hill of the B2123 turn off making it look wonky...

Either that or Frank Ghery has done a re-design....
