Falmer TODAY

[Gilliver's Travels]

The flag has been there, on and off, for AGES.

I've no idea why.

Maybe it's this: Mein Host Herr Woodruff takes a party of Falmer Village stormtroopers to the Fatherland every December, for a pre-Christmas rally and a drunken, Brau-laden return home. I had the privilege of witnessing the arrival of the exhausted heroes late one night, a couple of years ago.

He then sells the beer over the counter. All perfectly legal, of course...

Looks to me like just the road widening bit - I'll like it more when those uni buildings start being demolished.

Scheduled for April.

Scheduled for April.

Eh? Are you sure?

Thought they were due to be demolished the same time as the bulk excavation was being done as the are going to have to excavate under them.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Not necessarily. It depends upon when Brighton University are ready to vacate them.

Does that mean we start to excavate the rest of the site and possibly be delayed by them not being vacated in time?

The construction won't be delayed by a minor detail like this. The job has been carefully programmed.

Do Buckingham Group have a ban on employing female construction workers? The sign on the first pic states "DANGER MEN AT WORK".
(Shame on you girlies, it took a man to point this out!)

I spotted that, but hadn't got round to posting about it!

Brilliant news. Almost in the home straight now...

Went past this morning, over the weekend the digs have moved a lot of mud around and built 2 massive mounds, which I assume are the banks that sit behind the stands behind the goals, for the stadium to blend into like a jewel in the south downs crown

more diggers and machinery on site than ever

Best Christmas present this year, maybe ever ...

Don't think the mounds are for that purpose - haven't they have disappeared with the latest planning application changes? Your picture is of the original stadium design. Could have a bit of fun guessing what the mounds are for. Suggest vantage points for mounting webcams. Or temporary 'terracing' for viewing Wednesday's spectacular ceremony. Or maybe mounds created by digging 2 large holes. In which case what are they for?

Wow they've made good progress with the stadium!

I particularly like this one... it was added to the 'Gallery' on the club website a few weeks ago...
