Absolutely. We thought it only right and proper to hold hands, too

Is there any chance you can email these to me and I can put them on countdown2falmer.co.uk?
Just PM me and I will give you the email address.

I have done this for a few people lately. If you can resize your images to 1024x768 or 800x600 zip them up and email, I can do the rest.

There are 60 or so. If you PM me a postal address, I can burn all the hi-res pics to DVD and post them to you if you want...

The Bar is only accessible from outside the ground and will not be used at half time etc. However it will be open at normal pub hours for fans to use at all times...

As in every day of the week?

Yep. It's a coffee shop as well as a bar.

So, the staff will be able to use it to get lunch? Sound reasoning there.

And anyone at the Uni

Ones like this make you realise what the money has gone into in terms of the quality of the finish. No shitty breezeblocks or plain corrugated steel, but proper brickwork.

Also: how OLD does Paul Rogers look in his photo?!

Pfft, we don't want that riff-raff in there

The Supporters Bar is much bigger than I anticipated. There is a large single bar and a doorway through to the club museam. A glass balcony sits to one side where you can look over the concourse.

The Bar is only accessible from outside the ground and will not be used at half time etc. However it will be open at normal pub hours for fans to use at all times...

Oh and there's gonna be a great mosaic on one wall!!

So it's open to everyone before the match regardless of where ur ticket is?

Few Questions if anyone can help:

1st pic - is that from the corner? So that's the North seats right in front? Those are stairs to the concourse yeh? Anyone know what's going to be there ib the corner?

2nd Pic - prob me not paying much att but didn't realise there was glass in the North stand - looks amazng! From what I rmeember there isn't glass quite like that in the Sout - or East?

Thanks

Yep. Means it could get a little squashed, unfortunately!

Isn't there gonna be a gate for vehicle access in that corner?

Looks like there's space - it's the one thing I don't like about the stadium in general (not that i'll moan about it) - The corners look silly and too much of a gap - could have done with 5 more seats on each end of the stand. Any news on our Strongbow my friend ?

The top pic was taken in the North East corner, looking up at the bank of seats. The 'stairs' you see there are at the outermost edge of the terrace on which the seats will be fixed. The space underneath is the North Stand concourse, where the food / beer / toilets etc will be. The corner itself will, I think be open for vehicle access.

Thanks mate - thought that was the case. That North roof looks low and IDEAL for making LOTS of noise in - would you agree having seen it up close?

PS - Did my pic for the mosaic yesterday Flyers looking good in Sportsman last night!

At least it's cider i suppose - Bulmers usually more expensive though. Is that Bulmers on tap do you know?
