I drove past ditchling beacon the other day and you can see the falmer stadium NESTLING in the downs. I may take a photo.

What is the building with the "terrace" style look ?

Loving the way it imposes all over that AONB, sorry National Park.

All jokes aside though two thoughts occur:-

1) Like a fine wine it appears to only get better with age

2) I'm still struggling to visualise the lower tier of the West stand and how far down it will have to be dug in, and where it will extend to.

I would imagine it will go as far as the players tunnell and that would get rid of that huge gap in the corner. I hope it does anyway.

Excellent point LG, should have been paying much closer attention myself.

The massive corner gaps are a concern for me too - I hope they use acoustic baffles to funnel the sound back into the bowl.

What is the building with the "terrace" style look ?

Something to do with the university of Brighton, probably to replace those grotty buildings on the stadium site, at a guess. And, with its stepped ziggurat style, a blatant, cheap, nay shameless rip-off of the University of East Anglia's distinguished, far classier Norfolk and Suffolk Terraces, where I lived for two years and built 35-odd years earlier:

What is the building with the "terrace" style look ?

If you're talking about the last pic in the first batch - it's the building at Brighton University that was constructed to take the place of what was being demolished to make way for the stadium.

Don't know what happens in there, apart from some students do things.

EDIT - Bollocks FAR too slow.

 

[minnieme]

Excellent stuff-thanks.

The West Stand looks tiny at the moment

The West stand is the biggest stand are you getting mixed up & mean the South stand?
