JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.97 (12/11/10).

[Jack Straw]

With students riotting this week over tuition fees, they should come and watch the Albion.
Be educated in the art of how to play football. Money well spent I'd say.
Very, very difficult now to get good positions to take photos.
North Stand exterior block work virtually complete and South Stand moving along nicely.
It looks like there's a mystery structure going up behind the South Stand (third photo). Any ideas anyone?
Concourse work taking most of the action this week.
Main area behind North Stand has had most of the base layer of tarmac put down.
3 lots of 5 coming up.
Also, it's calendar time again folks!

Mystery structure - wouldn't be a lift shaft would it? For 1901 members too lazy to walk up and down the steps that will be there.

 

[algie]

When are your next shots inside the complex?

Great work again.

 

[GlennMurray]

Could well be a lift from the coach park to concourse level

Couple of nice plugs for Iron Designs there. They did a good job on my balcony railings a couple of months back. This looks like a slightly bigger job though.

Thanks Graeme, more good stuff as usual. I was up there a couple of weeks ago and agree that it is very difficult to get any 'new' shots. While you were there today did you ask NJ why the roofs are still leaking?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Great pics JS - thanks. Always feels like football is round the corner when your Friday pics go up.

Looks like lift/disabled access from the coach park to me?

Hope so that's what sold the package to me. Lovin the pics. I'd like to see one of the West Stand from the pitch so I can try and work out where my seat is

Excellent update from Fortress Falmer , ahem I mean The Amex.

I think that mystery structure could be the plinth on which the Jack Straw Statue is due to be placed.

Drove past it yesterday, JS and hoped and prayed the weather would improve for you today - you'd have been blown off your stepladder!

Thanks!!

I was going to say it does look like a lift to me, I thought it was sloped down anyway though?

Mystery structure, Could it be the tower for a new ski jump, ready for when Brighon bids to host the Winter Olympics?
