Nurse - tissue please!

Awesome pictures JS, just awesome.

Why is part of the west stand higher than the rest? Couldnt they have dug it all out?

Another bit of work that is starting soon is the laying of cables under Lewes Road (near Home Farm Road - where Forfars Bakery is based), to increase the electricity supply capacity at the stadium.

I've just laid a cable of my own after seeing those shots.

Loving the last one of batch 2. Gives a real sense of the SHAPE of things.

The West Stand is humungous - a real XXXL grandstand.

After the Withdean 'sitting on scaffolding' experience, Im finding it hard to get my head around just how damned good this is going to be.

On the day that Pompey have gone into administration (not that I'd gloat over their problems) isn't it great to have a board that loves the club and has laid good foundations for the future instead of unsustainable short-term glory! The stadium will help to make this club great again. Marvellous scenes.

What does cladding of the East stand mean ?

What does cladding of the East stand mean ?

I'm guessing the tiling of the external wall, visible in the first picture where the workers are on the two orange concertina cranes.

Deffo the best pics yet, so much going on now.

Pic 5 of batch two is my favourite, a great perspective of the west stand compared to the east and south.

Top work JS

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Brilliant

 

[wigman]

Thanks again JS,its taking shape nicely.

 

[Hove Seagull]

It just looks so fantastic. I can't wait!

 

[Martinf]

Brilliant pics JS!

A colleague at work (who isnt a footie fan) who passes Stad du Falmer said: "I'm disappointed that they have ruined the bit of modern art sculpture they had" (she was talking about one of the Dogs Head's) ..."by putting some sort of massive arch thingy on it."

 

[Captain Haddock]

the second one in the second batch is SEXUAL

Great shout.....not that the others aren't fantastic too but that one in particular is simply spermulicious!

(<<---Not surprised to see this smiley next to the reply box...will be in overdrive today!!!)

Another bit of work that is starting soon is the laying of cables under Lewes Road (near Home Farm Road - where Forfars Bakery is based), to increase the electricity supply capacity at the stadium.

The roadworks could be rather disruptive to local businesses, which will be a shame.

 

[Mayfair Seagull]

Thanks JS, great pics!

Just when we thought the East Stand was the dogs bollocks , along comes the West Stand.

 

[Fef]

Wonderful stuff, Jack !!

 

[Lincoln Imp]

For the first time we've got the sense of a pitch surrounded by stands - it's turning from a building site into a stadium.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Worried about the state of the pitch though.

I think "KLN STEEL ERECTION" sums it up pretty well.
