I read it as "Toys 'A' Us". So who ever did it is pretty dumb.

The Toys 'R' Us picture actually made me laugh out loud - once again, great pics [like many others, it's become part of my friday routine]

They can do what the f*** they like to the damn sign. Fact is, the stadium's under way. Fair brings a tear to the eye.
How are you getting such good shots, Jack? You carting a stepladder up there once a week to get a view over the hoarding or what? However it's done, bloody good work sir.

Fantastic - and I assume that the large flat area now at the bottom of the excavations will be roughly pitch level.
Question - seeing as how the pitch will effectively be in a big hole - will there be drainage issues?

I would guess the fact that there is chalk underneath the pitch this will give excellent drainage, water table permitting

Just to add a bit of perspective to the hole, here is the cross section of the south stand. You can see where the slope is in the plans, going back to the concourse which is where the lorry is. Jack is taking the picture in the hosptality of the west stand at the moment (roughly

Oh typical. The ground's not even built yet and someone's moaning about the drainage! (A joke btw in light of your other thread!)
In all seriousness I guess it helps that it's being built on chalk. That should help trememdously.

Have they spread the chalk that has been dug out on the upper field then, if so it was a lot of fuss about nothing by the look of it.
