Pics as promised.
The outline of the concrete is set out on the deck with timbers, you will see the timber shutter to the underside being set out. The main steel beam through the middle (hedge cutter) is what we took all weekend to place.
As soon as the timber shutters are placed to the underside the remaining steel will be fixed prior to concreting the first lower section.

View from NE Dogs head
A few shots taken from different angles
The first is the proposed widened railway concourse area.
This one is the West Stand area. Where you can see the man with the green coat on, this is roughly the ground level. When the area is cleared the lower basement can then be excavated.
East Stand temp. columns looking Southwards.

It's a bloody wonder of physics that thing isn't it.
Thank you as always NJ.

I dont know any stadium I have been too with such easy access to the train station. As soon as you get off the train, you will be at the stadium. Brilliant

Hull City's old ground was like that.

I was driving past earlier so stopped for a walk round. The chalk excavation it's going pretty quickly, they've got 6 of those massive dump trucks going backwards and forwards. You can get a better sense of where the West stand is going to be now the uni buildings have gone, there's a well placed gap in the fence in front of Ringmer house which is dead opposite the East stand. Once the West stand goes up I imagine it will look very imposing. The roof arch is bloody massive, you don't get a sense of how big it is on the webcam.
Pure guesswoek from me but I'd imagine once the excavation is finished it will shoot out of the ground very quickly

Re windows - take a look here - http://www.brighton-and-hove.co.uk/
"Cross section c-c" and "First Floor Plan" images both seem to indicate that it is just open space behind the windows. Click on the image to see a slightly larger version, click on the "Link to drawing on planning portal " to download the full size drawing (quite a big file) from the planning website at the council.

This is probably a very stupid question, but nonetheless I shall ask.
Since the arch requires temporary support when installed, then that implies that it can't hold itself up.
So... how can it hold the roof up when the temporary support is removed ?
Does the roof hold the arch up ? and if so what is the purpose of the arch ?
I'm sure the answer is very simple, but the logic defies me for now
