Official FALMER WEBCAM Merged Threads

[Bwian]

I wonder if other clubs' fans got as enthused when their new grounds were being built? I'd imagine Swansea fans did because they were on the verge of disaster (like ourselves) not that long ago. Remember that kid on the phone-in?

It seems as though most on NSC are enjoying every new thing happening (Phallarse excepted ), no matter how insignificant it might be. Hardly surprising really is it? After 12 years and counting of being homeless...

Precast concrete terracing bit going into place now. What do you think the 5 concrete bits next to the crane are? They might be the wall separating the stand from the pitch. Like to see those start to go into place today. Refresh every 15 minutes - my home-based business is going to the dogs.

So is that the smaller stand on the side then?

Does anyone have a link to the stage by stage construction plan (preferably with pictures)?

The New noo noo is a cute and saucy little MINX, easily the pin-up of all the Tonka trucks that are at work there: the green truck that - oh so seductively, the HARLOT - carries lengthy bits of steel around.

So named (by me, sadly) after the similar nasally well-endowed hoover-esque device in the Tellytubbies.

New Noo Noo is a sexy strumpet of a green mean machine

So it looks like they are laying pre-cast concrete straight onto the ground for the terracing. Aren't you supposed to put footings down first.

....by the way, I have no idea what I am talking about :hammer:

 

[clarkey]

Terracing going on!!

 

[Bwian]

I kinda feel sorry for all of the guys working on site-if they so much as look like they're goofing off they've got 3-400 foremen watching them every minute of their day and saying: "Oi, get back to work you lazy git".

Do we know how far back behind the stand entrances the seats will be going?

Also just been sitting here trying to picture the size of that stand!

It looks like six rows?

I reckon with only 5000 seats it will feel pretty spacious, plenty of room for the MKDon style seats everyone seemed to be hoping for!

 

[CheshireSeagull]

it looks like they are just putting in the base for the seats to go on.

Pre cast concrete straight onto the steal work of the stand. Lower part of the stand concrete is poured onto moulded and set on to the chalk base. Looks like they are just doing a first layer for now before setting the terracing on it. I'm sure Natterjack will correct me if I'm wrong though.

 

[cw00]

are the seats going on the steel as well as the concrete/chalk right?

It really feels like reality now. Before when the chalk was being dug, it still didn't feel real.... but now!

Spot on

what is the zig zagged shape piece in the pile with the other bits of concrete?

The 5 ziz-zag bits would suggest it is an end wall of some description which plonks down nicely on the bits they're bolting to the steel right now...
