JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.118 (22/4/11).

[Jack Straw]

Nice leisurely stroll around the complete kit and caboodle in the sunshine on this beautiful Bank Holiday Friday.
Bumped in to Wigman and his friend.
Trees are leafing up, but crying out for water.
Heritage stones being laid behind the West Stand.
Zoom-lens not good enough to see if they were the engraved ones!
What looked like rolls of carpet being taken in to the West Stand, after the workers had had a well earned siesta.
The green covering on various walls behind the West Stand and around the station are where initially they were covered in hessian sacking, then sprayed with a seed mix (hydra-seeding).
I've taken a close-up so you can see the seeds.
We've had pansies and daffs. This week, Cowslips!
Let's do that arrogant mob and ram Adkins's words right up there tomorrow.
4 lots of 5 coming up.

Great stuff again Graeme-thanks.

Batch 3, P1 that wall looks like it was built by Fred Flintstone

 

[Conkers]

Is the last picture of batch 3 the side of the "green" banks?

 

[Art Vs Science]

Some lovely shots yet again Graeme, i don't think they are the engraved ones Graeme, i should think they would have to be a lot more careful than the way the are piled up as shown in your pic

 

[Jack Straw]

Is the last picture of batch 3 the side of the "green" banks?

Yes. It's a close-up to show how the green looking banks have been treated.
The seeds will germinate, and root through the sacking in to the soil underneath.
The colourant is put in to the water so when the hydra-seed is sprayed on, you can see where it's been applied so you get it on evenly and don't over do it.

You've entered into the world of Dali, dadaism and the surrealists with the grass seeds, JS - My favourite pic of the batch

 

[wigman]

I'll add a couple of my pics to the thread which i took on my stroll around the shrine with the Maestro.

Brilliant as ever. I just love the way your super-telescopic interplanetary lens just zooms across the field in the south east corner, almost giving the impression that you were actually standing there. And it is somehow reassuring that some builders still like a fag.
