Newsflash: Falmer

[Everest]

At 9.15 this morning, the last piece of the arch lifted off.

They never thought to leave the webcam on then? GRR!!!

 

[Everest]

Woohoo

That might leave a bit of a gap in the club's planned time-lapse venture. Not to worry, it is only the arch (and the reason given for not re-locating the cam).

Great job Everest-getting down there before you head up to Leeds

 

[Everest]

Nearly in place

The Arch - North Stand Chat

I posted the above in December, and reminded them again yesterday! Oh well, shouldn't moan as we do get looked after very well!

:US:

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Great stuff

Is it just the arch or are they doing any steelwork as well?

Arch end still not sitting flush on the thrust block. Cherry picker is up and down like a bloody yoyo.

No work going on on the west stand.

Thanks mountain man. FFS what student cretin tagged the thrust block. UNB? University Brighton ? Oh! it's the fence. My eyesight is not what it once was.

Thanks Everest. Terrific pictures. I waited around until 16.00 yesterday, and there was a lot of men pacing about and the cranes moving into position.

Oh dear it doesn't fit. The end into the thrustblock and the picture.

 

[Uncle C]

It'll be OK. This is engineering not guesswork. Couple of men swinging on that rope and it should bend into place.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Just get someone to hammer the f***ing thing in.

Have we all got to get down there and jump up and down on it to get it in place?

 

[Lewesian Seagull]

Sorry! Can't work out how to re-size.

 

[Bwian]

Not on my laptop's screen it won't!

 

[skipper734]

Well I'm guessing that the distance to the top of the round bit is not the same as the distance of the plate on the bottom to the standy up bits. In engineering speak.
