Wow! Great pics! Really taking shape now!

Smell of tean spearritt

I heard from a good source several of the urinal cakes from the gents behind the north stand (goldstone) had been saved and would be released back into a urinal at falmer. It would be nice to recapture that smell of albion history.

That is both amusing and disgusting. Well done.

Can you see it from the moon yet?
OK I'm getting carried away

Get your coat

 

[JJ McClure]

Love those pics and the fact that you ca now see the curve of the back of the stand.

East Stand

So, do those entrances lead to the top, middle or bottom of the terrace? do the seats sit on where the mud is so far?

Entrances are in the top third of the stand and the terracing comes in 2 phases - in-situ (cast on site and built off the sloping chalk) and precast (on the steel frame)

Can't wait for the terracing to go in, when is this Natterjack?

East Stand in-situ terracing will be completed in the next 2/3 weeks, the half dozen precast rows (top) that bear onto the steel and retaining wall will follow.

Thanks to Jack Straw for putting the photo's up, I wouldn't have a clue how to get them to that quality

I had never realised that steel and concrete could be sooooooooooooooooo exciting.

 

[Caveman]

That is fantastic! Now have a new background

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Natterjack,1 more question (for now),what is the thinking behind casting the concrete on the chalk rather than just doing everything pre-fabricated.Is it down to expense?.

 

[Andrew]

Brilliant stuff

It's cheaper to cast on site using wet concrete rather than make the terrace elsewhere and transport it - it's the same end product.

The difference with the top section is that it would be more expensive to form on site as it is out of the ground and would require form-work and expensive shuttering

[brighton_tom]

It may be a question that nutterjack cannot or will not answer but do you know if the stadium actually has been designed in a way that will allow us to increase capacity should we need it? This seems to be what most fans are thinking....

 

[trancing]
