Slip roads, and access to them?

To those concerned about the tree, it was a Sycamore, and indeed, permission was ashed for because yew need permission for this sort of thing. This was indeed granted by the Council.
Don't worry. There will be hundreds of new trees replanted as the stadium nears completion.
I'm going elm now, or I might walk along the beech!

Pathetic

 

[The Large One]

Can someone please explain in simple terms what is going on in the picture. think I asked this before but can't remember. To me it looks like they are widening the road to make a new dual carridgeway?? why?

Widening it, but not to a dual carriageway.

YOU try getting a coach to turn into the car park on Village Way as was.

Cheered me up no end - thanks

Quality pics Mr Straw and a welcome break from all the manager crap that's been going on.

 

[Surf 'n' Turf]

Indeed.

And after a few years, a veritable forest of trees will grow up again through the ivy and tumbleweed.

Don't be all bitter and twisted you Pala*se w*nker!

Great work, keep em coming

 

[Whitterz]

marvellous scenes

Yes really good but I have to say that without the funding in place for the stadium, when the works paid for by SEEDA are finished then unless things change it worries me that work will halt!!

Sorry to seem not so cheery!!

someone should add the stadium to one of the pictures by photoshop, or whatever, to get a good idea of how it'l look, i would but wouldnt even know where to start!

Sub-base to road widening on north side of Village Way all in place, compacted and ready for tarmac.
Top soil being graded on to bank leading down from this towards stadium site area.
Readymix concrete being poured in to holes on south side of Village Way.
Lots of contouring of land.
Each week the hole just gets bigger and bigger -Ooh Matron!

My husband loaded all the lorrys with all that sub-base !!

Parks-you are a brave man! Others have had their helmets blown off for daring to put their head above the parapet on this subject!

I WAS like you but the following from Insider (as MP is very good at avoiding the subject) reassured us on Ask The Club:

"Work on the actually stadium starts in April - with the frame due to be erected this summer."

The April date doesnt mean a lot as pretty much anything could mean work has started on the actual stadium.

However the frame delivery/ erection is a very clear indication that funds are in place and we are on schedule. Shame we dont know what their definition of summer is, but I'm giving it till 31st August. No frame started on site by then and we can all start worrying. Until then, in spite of the financial meltdown in the rest of the world, we must "keep the faith" (to coin a phrase!).

Don't be all bitter and twisted you Pala*se w*nker!

Ooooh! A bite.

Do you honestly think this will happen, tosspot?

Global financial meltdown. Property repossessions. Impossible mortgage repayments. The £ falling to an all-time low. Building industry in turmoil.

But a little Sussex football club looking at relegation/ oblivion are moving to a posh gleaming new stadium and this will make them a big club with lots more fans. They will start winning games and soon selling out to new rivals Chelsea.

Anyway good luck. I believe your new manager will be Maradona with Ossie Ardilles as number two.

Palarse's new ground( if they ever get one) will include double decker caravans, to make the fans feel at home
