Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No 51 (11/12/09), ARCH.

[Jack Straw]

I'd learnt that the arch would be on the move at daylight today.
I was on site at 7.30am and daylight was breaking.
It was flipping cold, and I took a photo or two in the strange morning light.
Checked out the best place to put the ladder, then the fog came down.
Oh no. Workers started to attatch the chains to the arch and about 9.00am the mist started to lift.
Barry Izbak also made an early start, and his video will be another epic which he will post on another thread later.
Soon, the sun came out, and it was absolutely perfect for taking photos of this momentous occasion.
Well worth ballancing on a ladder for four hours!
3 batches of 5 coming right up.

That arch now makes the stand look small! It's not until you actually visit the site that you realise just how big this stadium is actually going to be.
