That's what I would think too.

I think you're right. Thanks guys.

 

[Everest]

I'll be stopping off there for the daily few minutes in the morning, so I'll see if I can get a close up for you.

With the Wesr roof so low, that could mess up the view from the cheap seats!

Dont forget their lowering the pitch once the steelworks done, about 3 meters I think.

3 meters is a hell of a drop. I guessed the bottom of the terracing would be at pitch level - or is the terracing being extended all round as well?

 

[Everest]

There you go Martin

If you look, the pitch area currently is higher than the level of the bottom terracing. As I understand it, they will dig 3 metres down, install undersoil heating and all the proper drainage and then put the playing surface on, which will roughly be level with the bottom row of terracing.

There you go Martin

Thanks Ev!

Having just done my patio, I know how much effort it takes to remove a couple of feet of top soil and crap. I have renewed admiration for builders the world over.

 

[Everest]

But I bet you didn't have a fleet of JCBs and lorries at your beck and call.

 

[marcos3263]

no, in an effort to save money, I used 6 40 litre buckets and a company car to do about 20 runs to the dump!


.............then got a couple blokes in to finish

Did you take any more photos this morning Ev? Northstand terracing

Outside of the West South Stand Another shot from the bypass

I think more roof steel is going in the South East corner. If they hadn't moved the web cam we'd have a good view of that now.

 

[Everest]

Fraid not Martin. I only get to see the usual bit before the west stand in Village Way. Don't have time to go round.

But you can have this one showing the exterior rendering on the east stand.

In case you missed it, the ring of steel was extended towards the south stand yesterday.

 

[Martinf]

Excellent! Thanks again.

 

[John Sayers]

Only had my phone with me this afternoon but got some pictures more steel arriving for the west / south corner and also a picture of the east / south corner. Will hopefully go over to falmer tomorrow with a better camera.

 

[Everest]

Looks like the camera has run out of methanol

 

[John Sayers]

Some better quality pictures of the South East Corner along with the back of the west stand blockwork

 

[Dizzle.]

Great photo's mate, the stadium is closing up!

 

[Questions]

I went there last night to have a gander and you cant see anything other than the back of the west stand. They`ve ruined it.
