I believe one of the corners will be left vacant for emergency access (i.e. ambulance to pitch) - this appeared on NSC somewhere else. So, it they ever get filled, one corner will remain empty.

Surely they could build it like at many grounds, such as Reading, where they fill in the corner but leave ample tunnel space for ambulances etc to get through?

Agreed - I'm just regurgitating what I have seen posted as 'fact' elsewhere.

Wrong.

Thanks Everest. But still not sure what is going to happen to the bank of earth in that corner that looks like it's being prepared for something?

 

[Everest]

Oh, and here's a couple of the 'lift shaft'(?)

Simply, the slope will be covered with a layer of reinforced concrete that will be installed low enough to allow it to be covered with terrace steps in the future.

Cheers Norman.
Also, is that definitely a lift being built behind the south stand?

Thanks chaps

Yes. It's a Lift to the coachpark which will have a flight of concrete stairs next to it.

 

[Horsham Gull]

is all the internal infrastructure there for concourse's to be extended etc and facilities to be added in the corners if needs be easily?

I would have thought they would have put a ramp in similar to the one on he north west corner rather than a lift ?

I'd expect them to be terraced and then covered with vinyl advertising [/QUOTE]


For vinyl advertising read DPC membrane

Trench being dug in front of south stand. Is this pitch drainage system?

No. Its for the tarmac boarder that goes around the edge of the pitch area. It will have an 'Aco' drain (the grill type) at the base of the concrete wall but is nothing to do with the actual pitch drainage. That will come when the whole pitch area is cleared, the stone carpet removed and the chalk reduced to level.

Thanks as always NJ

Tarmac border? Running track ?

No more cranes?

Are the high bits all finished now then?

 

[warsaw]

The exterior concrete blocks look a bit drab at the moment, will they be rendered, just painted, or encrusted with diamonds?
