Ev's AMEX Morning Update - 23 Nov 10

[Everest]

East stand floodlights
West stand floodlights
Drainage pipes by the south stand?

As always, the large images can be viewed using the links in my sig.

Nice work Ev

Are you uploading differently? I used to be able to see your photos at work, but can't see these. Can't use links either as company blocks photo sites. Will have to wait till I get home

I am, sorry.

If people want, I can go back to uploading them as attachments rather than linking to them.
Just trying to save some bandwidth for Bozza (I think, I'm no pro at this interwebbynet thingy)

Get back to work

 

[Zeff]

I have the same problem, can't see them at work today, but normally can?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

They work for me and I prefer the smaller ones, makes far easier and quicker viewing on here and then the option to look at the bigger versions if needed is available.

 

[Everest]

Changed it now.

God, that upload section is different!

 

[John Sayers]

Thanks - great photos

I am curious about these floodlights.

Placed at the rear of the stand and pointing downwards.

Is this not unusual ?

Or are they lighting for the stands ?

:albion1:

 

[Everest]

No, they are THE floodlights - for the pitch.
They are NOT at the back of the stands.
They always seem to point down - you know, AT the pitch.
They are at different angles to flood the whole area of the pitch with light.

Was that sarcasm or vitriol or at all necessary ?

Thank you for clarifying what a floodlight is and what it does and how it does it.

Some of us don't have the opportunity of seeing for ourselves and depth in photos can be misleading.

 

[Everest]

Apologies, maybe a bit strong.
Believe it or not, but there are even some people here that don't know which stand is which yet, even though it's been said countless times.

Consider wrists slapped

 

[natterjack]

Whilst your slapping his wrists, I'll slap yours - they're not drainage pipes going in, it's perimeter ducting

Ev, just to let you know, before it took forever to download the photos because of the way I connect to the internet (aircard).
But since the sites new look, these photos downloaded in next to no time, thanks.

While I'm here, as an ex woodingdeanian and life long Brighton fan living in Thailand for the past 4 years, how much I appreciate JS and your efforts each week.

The stadium is looking class!

Cheers for your commitment.

Lots of wrist slapping going on today!..and to be fair, it was more of a question than a statement of fact. But, I digress...


What is the perimeter ducting for?

 

[VAL1850]

Sexy Floodloights very discreet

That said the old style pylons at all stadiums were like pointers to be seen from miles away to the iconic football stadiums of this country

Cheers Norm.
(See what I did there?)

As lasvegan said, it was more a question, hence the ? at the end.

BTW I was slapping my own wrists, not his.

 

[natterjack]

I'll get some pics and post them up tomorrow to enable you to see what's going on in a little more detail - It's hard to judge from 400yds away, even with a posh camera like yours

 

[Everest]

Thanks very much.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

thanks for the pics.
