Judging by the layout/angles of the 3 arch pieces on the pitch, and the position of the mahoosive crane that will lift them, would I be right in thinking that the first piece of the arch to go up will be the one in the north west corner, not the south west corner?

 

[Everest]

Don't worry Marcos, it's longer on my screen.

Certainly looks that way, wedgee.

Looks as though the last birthday cake has gone up too.

Next week for lift off?

 

[Everest]

The top of the first arch support and the final birthday cake are now in place

Sorry about the bad angle but I was in a rush this morning.

Genius!!

Is smoking banned on site? I though it would be but this picture seems to differ.... Someone appears to be sitting on the SW dogs head smoking a huge cuban?!

Nah thats no cuban, got to be a bong with that amount of smoke??

(Now waiting for Argus headline 'Seagulls stadium is soaring high' or something like that )

I've now had a closer look and the dog van driver is wearing a little green jacket and leather collar.

 

[cw00]

the grey bits at the end of each arch have been removed over the weekend, a good sign.

 

[Stu1]

I can see the dog becoming some kind of Albion legend, looks like one for the future!

 

[dougdeep]

I see they were working today. Well done lads.

 

[VeronaSeagull]

Looks like the crane is being prepared to lift the arch....11.15 webcam shot shows them loading the counterweights

 

[Everest]

I very much doubt it'll be today, what with the weather being like it is.

Probably tomorrow at the earliest.

 

[Marc]

the weather is set fair from tomorrow onwards with little wind.

 

[John Sayers]

I thought they would get all the pre cast concrete fitted to the West Stand before the arch goes up. Otherwise, they will have to keep lifting it over the arch with risk of damaging it and we dont want that

 

[seagullwedgee]

The precast concrete steps for the west stand are being lifted in from behind the stand, so the arch will not impede this.

 

[Martinf]

Weather forecast is pretty good for the rest of the week so looks good for Arch II.

 

[John Sayers]

The precast concrete steps for the west stand are being lifted in from behind the stand, so the arch will not impede this.

but the pre cast terraces and the back wall are lifted in from the front

 

[skipper734]

Looks like the arch lifting slings have been fitted, to the crane.
