Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No 35A (21/8/09)

[The Large One]

They don't seem to have done much in the last week or so

You've got a keen eye.

There was a contractual dispute this week, leading to a hold-up. Something to do with which way the stands should be facing.

Thank you, thank you and once again thank you. You, Ernest and the building crew have made my day.

What's Ernest done now?

 

[Jack Straw]

Good to meet up Graeme. Next time DON'T ask for the rain to hold off!

I hope my part 3 special doesn't overshadow your great work.

Bigger camera, bigger ladder, now bigger photos!
Nice to see your work too.
Even from similar angles, your close-ups etc add an extra dimension.
Great stuff.
Nice to see you this morning.
Sorry about the rain!

The quality of that second pic is stunning.

That's Wild Park in the background - over a mile away - as clear as day.

Looks like Stanmer to me?

You're probably right. Still a bloody long way away though.

Exactly. If the stadium's an 'eyesore' then so is the Royal Pavillion or somewhere like Parham House - it's actually enhanced the Downland rather than spoilt it.

When these photos first appeared, back when they were excavating the coach park, I was mildly excited but mainly I thought, "yeah, it's a building site, what's so special?" Now though looking at these photos every Friday is one of the highlights of my week and they can really cheer me up if things aren't going too well on the pitch.

Seconded.

Surely inwards, its easy really - I could have sorted that out in an instant

You might say that, I couldn't possibly comment.

Quick question - I'm popping up to Falmer en route to the match today. To get a decent view do I need to take a ladder with me? (Haven't been since May).

There are a number of view holes-ladder not essential Jim.

Cheers. As I drive a Mini, the ladder was going to be tricky....

Glourious work JS - surely deserving of a rarely-awarded NSC knighthood
