JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.99 (26/11/10).

[Jack Straw]

Sadly, Bernard Matthews the turkey chap has just passed away.
What has he and our stadium in common? Bootiful!
The framework which held the safety netting on the East Stand roof has been removed, and the first section of "bull nose" edging is in place.
North east corner almost covered in so that's one viewing angle gone.
What used to be known as the cinder track around the outside of the pitch is being constructed.
A large part of the walk way from the new foot bridge at Falmer Station is now in place.
SEEDA road works nearly completed.
The fly-over and associated works outside Stanmer Park will be operational from 13th December.
Looking forwards to witnessing our passage in to the 3rd round of the cup against FCUM tomorrow.

[Everest]

That edging on the outside is gonna make it look ultra sexy.
Noticed it yesterday.

Top work again Mr S.

 

[Jack Straw]

Batch 3.

 

[Mendoza]

3rd one on batch 3 is like our own mini Wembley way

 

[Napper]

Good work

Removing that netting alone has made a big difference

 

[Garage_Doors]

They’ve not left a lot of room for overtaking on the bridge have they.

Nice work JS.

 

[westy]

Top work as always. Inside job next week JS...?

 

[Bombardier]

I think I have just overdosed on the Friday fix! Need to have lie down now.

Love it!

 

[Laughing Gravy]

Top work sir

The white bull nosing on the outer roof edges looks good.

 

[Gazwag]

I got a little bit confused looking at the first of batch 2 - the lift - I could work it out until I realised it wasnt part of the second photo

[TWOCHOICEStom]

fantastic as always JS

I can't stop imagining how unbelievable it'll look when the seats go in!! anyone know when that'll be?

 

[Turkey]

I'm confused, whats that in batch2, pic 1?

It's a lift to take wheelchair users etc from the coach park level down to the stadium's external concourse level.

I visited the site on Tuesday and was told this - our Chairman wants the ground to be the best, so rather than sending wheelchairs down a long ramp, he's put a lift in! Apparantly, Cardiff City's new ground only has one passenger lift and a service lift - The Amex is getting 14!

 

[beardosh]

Looking good again. Only 1 week to go till the big 100 for Jack Straw's Friday Specials!!!

No pressure but they better be good'uns!

 

[Martinf]

Great stuff again JS. Knighthood beckons for you in the New Year I reckon. For 'services to the Seagulls'.
