Jack Straw's Amex Com. Stad. Watch No. 88 (17/9/10).

[Jack Straw]

What a lovely morning. Should I consider going to see Pope Benedict who is currently visiting our country? Certainly not when it's Friday and Falmer is there to be photographed. Anyway, I'm not even Catholic!
G.O.S.B.T.S virtually finished on East Stand, and progressing on West and now South Stands.
The extra long lorry in the site office car park has pieces of the new railway foot bridge on it, ready to be put in situ over this weekend.
The struts etc to receive this are already in place (see latter photos).
South Stand block work underway, and North Stand block work nearing completion.
West Stand terracing being caste.
Pitch area is having the temporary crushed brick layer removed, meaning that soon we will see the pitch being constructed.
Stunning mirror glass over main entrance to West Stand, and other glass there being installed.
Road works taking shape outside Stanmer Park. The east end levels are virtually built up to meet the A27/A270.
4 lots of 5 today.

I really don't wanna sound thick and apologise if I've missed something but what is the GOSBTS you refer to in the photos?!

Excellent pics again Graeme. I hope those guys working on the roof are wearing slippers so they don't scratch the GOSBTS.

Good Old Sexy Blue Translucent Sheets (the roof)

 

[severnside gull]

Great to see the railway are making a real effort to tidy up their act

 

[Biscuit]

Seeing as I'm a total retard... are those sheets staying? Or are them temporary before the glass goes in?

Either way they look great.

 

[Uter]

Another superb set! That stadium is so beautiful I want to cry.
