JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.93 (15/10/10).

[Jack Straw]

The celebrations we've just witnessed with the rescue of the 33 trapped Chilean miners will be nothing compared to what will happen on 6th August in Brighton next year.
69 days? We've been suffering for 13 years!
The white bull-nose edging is being fitted to the edge of the East Stand roof.
Block work on North and South Stands ever rising to meet the roofs.
Access ramp behind the North Stand taking shape.
Station concourse and SEEDA roadworks all progressing nicely.
See you all at Charlton tomorrow.
3 lots 5 coming up.

[Dave the OAP]

No matter how many times I look at it, and even drove by it on Wednesady, I haven't the faintest idea how that bridge thing will fit into the scheme of things

 

[Martinf]

Fantastic as usual JS. Thanks for all your efforts.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Great Photos!

What camera do you use JS?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Brilliant. Maybe this has been answered before, but are the rear walls of the corners being covered in glass or will they be blocked/cladded up?

Thats some serious glass in the last photo on batch 2. It looks awsome!

As always, great work JS

If you mean the road bridge (first few photos), then that is for through traffic ONLY heading west (then south) past the stadium and towards Brighton (A270). It doesn't affect the A27.
Any other traffic heading that way that wants to go in Stamner Park or the car park at the school will use the current lane in use (using traffic lights by the bridge).

Great stuff again JS. Good to see you this morning.
You didn't say anything on here about the hoardings though!

Panasonic DMC TZ7 set on 2 mp for NSC.
Great little camera.
I think there's a TZ10 now or even a TZ12 which you would assume would be even better?

When are they going to fill in the holes in the East terrace where the roof support towers were?

Great pics as always Jack.

Covered with sound proof material/cladding.
