Jack Straw's Amex Com. Stad. Watch No.89 (24/9/10) Widescreen Special.

[Jack Straw]

Forecast was rain approaching, so went to the Cathedral of Football early this morning.
West stand cladding and glass near completion.
North Stand wall at the top of the terracing has been rendered whilst the outside blockwork nears completion too.
The concourse approach to the West Stand entrance is being formed, and a huge pile of chalk has been excavated, ready for removal.
The new footbridge has been put across the railway lines, and bits are being built to join up with this.
If you've seen the 1901 Club DVD, you can see how everything is coming to reality.
What with the progress on the Amex, and being 2nd in table on goal difference, don't it make you feel good?
4 lots of 5 coming up.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the last one of batch 2.

Excellent!

I would personally like to pass on my thanks to the glass manufacturer I know they are being paid, but to make that many glass windows exactly the same size must have been bloody boring...

And to think a few months ago we were salivating over a few sections of steel going up.

But Jack, you missed out on the drainage work carrying on in the SW corner.
It just so happens that I have one.

If it has a roof that footbridge is going to feel like Hove Station back in the day.

For some reason I started singing the ghostbusters theme tune after reading that last sentence!

Great pictures, much appreciated. Think we need a 'Jack Straw Appreciation Smilieee!'

Pics of 3 and 4 of batch 3 are my favs. They just demonstrate the size of the thing.

Imagine what this will look like for a night game, all lit up.

Was thinking the same. Loved it chanting walking over that bridge.

Put a roof on it!

 

[HP Seagull]

Is that the permenant colour of the roofs?
