JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.108 (11/2/11).

[Jack Straw]

Sorry for the slight delay due to inclement weather.
Just a hair-line crack left to get shots of the inside from the outside.
However, all being well, there will be an "Inside Special" on the Tuesday after next.
Irrigation and drainage systems all installed under the pitch area.
Root zone (sandy soil) now being spread.
Flocks of seagulls seem a permanent feature over our stadium now.
Need revenge over the Monkey Hangers tomorrow. How dare they crock our best player, beat us, and think they've got away with it.
Just 2 lots of 5 photos today.

When I read this why did I look at your avatar

Absolutely loving the sight of the sand going down. Really getting down to the business end of the build when the pitch starts going in.

Just...keeps...getting...BETTER!!!!

 

[Gordon the Gopher]

Of all your great efforts, for me this one really is the first to have that 'nearly there' feel to it. Can't really explain why, just leads me to thinking the finishing line is in sight!

aren't you stating the obvious

Amazing stuff, looking incredible now, and I agree with you Gordon, it does feel more like an unfinished stadium rather than just a building site now.

Just one slight observation...

That is infact 2000t of 6mm shingle to form the drainage layer, not rootzone as mentioned by Jack Straw.

Excellent photo's though.

Rootzone will be going down in March / April, prior to the pitch being seeded.

 

[Questions]

Root zone ? God I can smell that first cut already.

I stand corrected. What do I know about sports turf!

I'm feeling a bit of a TWITCHING sensation in my RootZone at the moment

Great stuff

 

[Bean]

Pic 1 Batch 1 is amazing :bow:

 

[The Large One]

The pitch already looks better than Colchester's.

 

[Gully]

The first picture, of the seagulls soaring, is now the wallpaper on my computer...replacing the single gull on the roof strut from last week...excellent work again Jack, look forward to the shots from inside next week, we are nearly there!

 

[Commander]

Cant we just move in there NOW?

Persoannly I'm more excited by the BIG ReD TRACTOR starting to Lay a pitch.
