Official FALMER WEBCAM Merged Threads

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

think that's like a blue netting to stop nuts and bolts falling on peoples heads,may be wrong.

As with all gravity defying Falmer construction mateirals, when dropped by workers, nuts and bolts don't fall, they float up and drift gently away.

Looks like the top of one of the west stand towers is no longer touching the arch.

When do they fully remove the temp supports?

 

[John Sayers]

I was told by someone wearing a yellow vest today that the West stand ones will hopefully be down by the end of next week, and the two east stand ones down the week after.

Was this person actually at the ground, or was it some random person in the street, who happened to be wearing a yellow vest ?

What's with the blue netting going up?

What's with the blue netting going up?

I can only think that it is there as a safety measure for when the sexy blue translusent roofing goes on. But if I remember correctly that won't happen until the temporary supports are removed and the whole structure has been left to settle down (or up) for a few days. Perhaps things are moving along quicker we thought.

you can see on the latest photo the right hand one is definately no longer touching and they are taking down the top of the left hand one as well.

I wonder what the thingys are on the top floor of the West Stand? They look like beds, perhaps the workers stay there during the week, but they'd get wet just lke Withdean. Or perhaps they are not beds? And how did they get there? Any more ideas, or someone might even know?

The second west support has been disconnected from the arch now.

We have a self supporting roof.

God I love NSC, quality

I wonder if the blue netting is actually for grape vines to grow across the roof creating both a natural canopy for shade and a secondary income stream from the sale of Albion wine in the club shop.

That would be a football first.

I for one would welcome it

A lot of activity on one of the West Stand temporary arch supports. A crane is standing by expectantly. Are we about to declare the west stand officially self-supporting?

Looks to me like we have a self-supporting West Stand roof!!!

....or else I need to go to Specsavers

 

[Napper]

Is that the blue glass going into the front of the west or just a shadow ?

 

[Everest]

It's been self supporting since last week!

I know that, but in my eyes it won't be 'official' until they start dismantling the supports.
