The time has nearly arrived,marvellous scenes Graeme.

This is genuinely exciting stuff. The next big event, in my eyes, is when all the external signage (club crest, etc.) goes up.

 

[Oscar]

So am I right in saying Buckingham are off site at the end of next week and any work after that will be individual contractors for all the bits, bobs, knobs and whistles?

Great pix once again by the way.

 

[Safeway]

Apologies if this has already been asked/answered, but what's going in the church field?

 

[SpidersLegs]

Will you still be doing weekly updates after the handover Graeme? Great pics as usual.

 

[Art Vs Science]

Well done Graeme, Another great effort with quality pictures!! Cheering me up

 

[stonski]

As always fab photo's.

 

[Marc1901]

Can you or are you going to take anymore pictures from inside the ground anytime soon JS?

 

[The Large One]

Car parking - a temporary measure.

 

[Seaford Seagull]

Great pics, one question. Where are the heritage stones meant to be going? On top of the tarmac infornt of the West Stand? Or just on the narrow walkway in between the stadium and the tarmac?

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

I demand a pop-up sprinkler system for the trees, clearly the club made a huge error by not factoring this into the costs of the Stadium. Letting the builders piss on them simply isn't good enough.

In fact I'm going to phone up Southern Water and complain that the absence of any water supply in the Falmer area is simply not acceptable. FFS their head office is only yards away ...............

 

[Oscar]

Maybe we should mobilise a NSC watering team?

Good question.
With the third and final JSAW calendar coming out for xmas, I'll carry on as I'll need some photos for each month over this year.
Once July comes, I'll be taking photos inside (which will be much easier!) and outside, in order to cover the whole of 2011 for the 2012 calendar.
The calendar will follow the same format as the previous two, and will have photos of the ramp-up events, first match, and whatever I feel will make this calendar the best.

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Only if I've had lots to drink first.............

 

[eastlondonseagull]

What's the drainage going to be like at the bottom of that humungous cliff? Am envisaging the need for wellies after a downpour...

I assume th landscaping is outside company as there looks like months of work still to do there.

Thanks JS - Quality as always.

At the moment ... an archaeological survey, pending consideration by Lewes District Council of the planning application.
