Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No 45 (30/10/09)

[Jack Straw]

It looks like the first third of the arch is ready for lifting.
Scaffolding all along the east stand ready for the brick layers.
Piles of breeze blocks on the floors of the east stand.
Demolition going strong.
Tarmac being laid at the furthest south westerly part of the site.
Bumped in to Everest who should post his own film soon.
Will post all the pictures on one weekly thread from now on - thanks for the idea Mendoza.

Jack, you seem to be getting pretty close to the action! Are you taking a few steps forward each week hoping no-one notices?

Brilliant photos.

 

[clarkey]

Magical

 

[NS Herald]

Utterly brilliant - these posts make Friday so worthwhile

It's weird but I don't know how my legs are going to cope with a solid surface underneath them that doesn't flex and bounce when you shift in your seat. Too much luzxury! Brain overloaded.....

I nearly suggested that a year ago but didn't like to question the master.

Keep up the good work Mr Straw.

Top Stuff Sire

I presume the first two supports will need to be in place before the first section of the arch is put erected, can't see any sign of that yet

 

[Barry Izbak]

Another lovely morning up at Falmer I see. Good job

 

[Basil Fawlty]

You sir are a legend. Keep up the hard work JS!!!

 

[blue and white army]

Glorious Work.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Superb - what a location for a football stadium.

Thanks JS , Hard to believe that the arch is not all that large compared to the West Stand arch which will be a monster.

Thanks JS , Hard to believe that the arch is not all that large compared to the West Stand arch which will be a monster.

They are both the same size.
