Would the stadium be seen from this picture?

[Man of Harveys]

It depends where you keep the picture.

That's easy enough - I'd keep that picture in a cupboad, thereby ensuring minimum disruption to local residents.

The stadium will officially be the largest man-made object in Sussex, and will be visible from the Japanese Intelsat IS-804 satellite for eleven minutes of its 66 hour orbit of the Earth.

66 hour orbit?

might it be useful if someone who could do it made a 3-d mwith all the info and modelled this so we knew for sure - i doubt you would be able to see it, but with this then at least they could see it for themselves

I see that "preserving the beauty of the village" doesn't extend to NOT parking Japanese monstrosities nose-to-tail all around the pond....

I wouldn't go down that road if I were you. Most of the traffic around the pond is students from the local universities that the residents are also trying to push out. Perhaps the club could form an alliance with students to fight the nimby oppressors. They like a good protest. If you can get the students out of bed that is.
As far as the stadium goes there is no way you will see it. If you stand by the pond you actually have to look up at quite a steep angle to see the tops of the trees. The only way you will see it is if it turns out to be 20 storeys high. Roughly about the same height as Godzilla.

I believe Godzilla was 30 storeys high (according to the lyrics in the opening titles...."up from the depths...thirty storeys high...").

Falmer will obviously be bigger than Godzooki, but not as big as Godzilla. I think heightwise it will be around King Kong size.

King Kong is only a little bit smaller, I reckon, 27 stories?

It'd probably be the size of Lisa Loeb or something.

I meant before he hit puberty and a growth spurt of 10 storeys. Besides, I think we discussed in a previous thread how meaningless song lyrics can be.

5 Little ducks went swimming one day over the hills and far away!!! Great place to visit Saturday afternoon.

quality!

Can I just say that I don't have broadband and am fed up waiting for the bloody picture to load

Well whatever you do, don't go to the thread full of beautiful ladies.

 

[Scoffers]

The answer to the original question, is a resounding NO

 

[Easy 10]

But I'd still like a more definitive answer on how big the stadium will be, compared to some monsters.

Would it be as tall as the giant bronze statue of Achilles that comes alive in Jason and the Argonaughts ? Or would it be more in line with that big firey demon in Lord of the Rings ? How about one of those gigantic rabbits in Night of the Lepus ? Or perhaps it would be comparable to the huge marshmellow Mr Stay-Puft in Ghostbusters ?

I might email Martin Perry.

Dear Martin,
I have a query as regards the plans for the new stadium at Falmer. After pondering whether or not the residents of Falmer will be able to actually see the stadium from the village (assuming they are standing on the ground, and not up a tree or hanging from a roof terrace), I would be very interested to learn the height of the stadium at its pinnacle point, and how this compares to some monsters.

I have heard it suggested that the new stadium will be similar in height to Godzilla, ie 30 storeys high, but personally, I feel that is something of an exaggeration. In your considered opinion, which of these monsters do you estimate Falmer will be closest to in height, out of:

Godzilla
King Kong
Night of the Lepus rabbits
Achilles in Jason and the Argonaughts
Mr Stay-Puft from Ghostbusters
The Balroc in Lord of the Rings
The Hydra in the Seven Voyages of Sinbad
A brontosaurus from Jurassic Park

I realise you are a busy man, but I'm sure you can appreciate this is an important issue as regards the scale of the Falmer project, and how folk can relate this scale to the actual site and its surroundings. Many thanks for taking the time to read my email, and I look forward to receiving your reply.
Best regards,
