Block work taking place in the top tier of the east stand.
Under-pinning of Village Way taking place behind the West Stand.
Pre-cast wall sections being craned in to place in West Stand basement.
Falmer station concourse extension works going well.

Cheers Mr Straw! I saw you as I was driving into work teetering on your stepladder on the Sussex Uni side of the A27!

Now that brickwork is in behind the East Stand, it's really starting to look like a proper stadium.

Or, "whose that trying to bunk into our ground without paying. Oi, Stewards eject him."

Don't think we're going to need more than the east stand at this rate :-(

Excellent work!!

You really can't see all this from the clubs webcam and I must admit I was starting to think...."are they actually doing anything?" But looking at the 2nd and 3rd batches you can really see the whole shape of the ground coming together now.

The big stand is getting the walls that sit behind the steps going in now and I remember that from the opposite stand, all of a sudden it will start to really move in progress.

This has made my day thank you JS!!!

P.S. The club need to re-position their web camera now imo.

Great work JS, I went past there yesterday on the way to the Falmer Health and Raquet club. Always sends shivers down my spine and a huge smile on my face, whenever I see it.
