Falmer Progress

[whitelion]

With the days becoming shorter, arrival of winter weather etc. does anyone have any idea how progress is going at the moment?

Are they on target?

Is there any links to progress reports etc.?

(I don't have access to the Argus at the moment, as out of Sussex area. I know on Mondays on page two they used to show the latest photograph as well as a short summing up as to what had been achieved that week and how things were progressing).

I think they probably had winter on their project plan. It happens every year, you know.

Are they on target?

I heard they are 132 days behind schedule as the foundations are subsiding, they will start removing the east arch on Monday to put things right

This is a serious question!!!

Completely on time, road works slightly delayed but were planned to be finished well before the stadium opening in any case.

Rise of the ruffians

Apparently some of the work men are refusing to work on certain areas of the ground due to a dispute when management called them ruffians UNITED WE STAND

The impending removal of the east arch has nothing to do with subsidence as such.

They're having to take it down so they can reinforce the foundations beneath the East stand and revise the structure design, as its now having to accomodate those 400 extra 1901 members. The 1901 seats are twice the size of normal STH's seats, with additional padding and a built-in monitor, so a re-jig of the stand structure is now necessary, along with the foundation reinforcements.

It'll mean a reduction in overall capacity of course, but the club will more than make up the lost revenue through the additional 1901 memberships. An announcement is due next week I believe, the jist of which wll cover the above, but we could apparently be looking at Christmas 2011 before the stadium officially opens now.

I must admit it was 32nd hand news by the time it reached my ears so I can entirely understand if I didn't get it totally right.

Apparantly some bloke called Scattercushion or something or other was talking about it in the pub last Monday evening

I hope there's a cup holder in the 1901 seats, or else I want my money back.

Well you were half-right to be fair - they're just pre-empting any chances of subsidence from the redesign. Very sensible.

Bloody hell, I'm gutted lol.

In addition to the extra 1901 seats the remaining seats are having to be turned so they face away from the pitch as the commoners have not paid sufficient monies to be able to watch, but enough to sample the noise effects of the 1901 club eating their prawn sarnies.
