It was good to see them still working on it as I passed around midday.

They're working today and last weekend. I wonder if Bloom is paying to get it finished sooner?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Did we have to get permission for that? I am sure the planning permission stipulated that we were not allowed to work over the weekend period. Although it has been a long time since I read the whole thing.

It didn't look as though the machinery or cranes were moving but men were working on the 'dog's head'

Not only did I miss out on a piss-up in Newcastle this weekend, I nearly died from Hypothermia on that bloody scaffold

Are these the dog heads close to completion an if so does that mean the arch will be going up in the next week or so?

Thanks.

You and your fellow workers are, indeed, true heroes and deserve the eternal gratitude of all Albion fans.

I've just seen the highlights of that match, and I don't think you missed much. Apart from the pissup afterwards.

As there hasn't been a great deal of change in the webcam images this month (even though worked has cracked on), I will refrain from uploading November's timelapse video.
However, there will be a SPECIAL New Year edition featuring ALL images since the webcam became active on 13 July. This will, weather permitting, include the east stand having a MASSIVE erection. You will have to wait until about a week into 2010 as I will be overseas.

If anybody is interested though (I doubt it), so far there have been...

July: 523
August: 944
September: 985
October: 988
November: 934

giving a total of 4,374 images.

Did you take any pics? I've never seen the inside of a dogs head before.

In the case of the South East one (which will be completed tomorrow,) the working platform is too small to get a decent camera shot as everything is close.

The North East one is in it's infancy, but the platform has been extended for extra work room. This will allow some decent photo's if the rain holds off and the wind dips below gale force 9.

I'll see what I can do
