A friend of mine who is instaling a BMS system at the amex said they're laying the top soil now and sowing the seeds soon.
Cant wait!

Can't be, they haven't installed the heating yet, have they?
Oh, and the gap beside the west stand in the SW corner is no more.
Only the the part by the south stand remains.

Edit, He just corrected him self and said gravel, passing it on. But yes I believe the heating is done far as the pitch is concernd.

Pretty sure it's just drainage and irrigation so far. Heating is usually closer to the surface, just under the topsoil.

The shingle being layed today is approx 12 inches below the perimeter path around pitch so theres a long way to go before the top soil.

I'm not sure of the specifics but its a building management system, after a very quick google Aston Villa have one which will let the ground staff know by his pda the pitch temperature or if theirs a leak etc but Im far from the expert and Ive been told its similiar to the AV one but a different type. Theres is trend ours is trident. Thats all I know.
Hope ours is better!
If it's the same as the video that was on here a while back, then it definitely hasn't been done.
Don't forget, I have nearly 24,000 webcam images saved on my hard drive. I would have noticed.
Edit: They haven't even finished the drainage and irrigation yet in the southern end.

What you get up to alone with your pc is your business, but this thread is supposed to be about Falmer.

I'm sure this might have been mentioned before, but looking at the webcam images today I was struck by how wet the concrete terracing is, especially the East stand. Just made me wonder how effective that roof is. It would be an absolute shame if after all these years of putting up with a soaking at Withdean some fans might find they are no better off at Falmer.

Company is involved in a project on site so try to wangle as many visits as possible 4 this week
Back 4 rows were the only dry ones today in the east but you can see that on the webcam.

I retract my earlier statement.
Don't want the OB sniffing round
You're right to be careful . They seem to have turned into armed bastards round here today .
Unless the stadium is indoor or has a retractable roof, there are going to be one or two front rows that will be hit with rain depending on the wind direction. But why not wait until the stadium is finished at the end of May as I think the roof is still to be sealed properly etc? Then wait until it rains. Then have another look. I think you'll find a different story. Lecture over.
