JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.98 (19/11/10).

[Jack Straw]

It was announced this week that Prince William will be marrying Kate Middleton in June. It only seems like yesterday that I got married. I wish it was tomorrow. I'd cancel it.
Where should this momentous event (zzzzzzzzz) take place? Somewhere of historic importance. Somewhere beautiful. Somewhere where the world will be in awe of the architectural importance.
It's obvious really.
See photos coming up!
Mystery structure is a lift shaft.
Hand rails being fitted to footbridge over rail way line.
SEEDA works nearly there. They were planting daffodil bulbs at the base of the fly-over.
3 lots of 5 coming up.
Calendars start rolling off of the production line today, so those who have ordered should have their's soon. Jack Straw's American Express Community Stadium Countdown Calendar 2011

They were planting daffodil bulbs at the base of the fly-over.

Why oh Why are they not planting blue and white coloured bulbs?

 

[Rookie]

Christ that bridge over the station looks ugly when you compare it to the stadium

 

[Hiney]

A lift shaft.

For what. It seems to be randomly positioned away from the building.

Or am I being a bit dense*



*this is likely

 

[cw00]

for coach park

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I can't stand those footbridges where you have to walk about a mile to get over the tracks/road. What is wrong with some steps (as well as the ramp).

I am also confused. This has been known from time to time.
The gaps for the doors (if there are adjacent gaps facing the stadium) do not seem to bear any relation to the stand it is next to, unless its to let people walk out onto the roof.

Spoils the lines a bit as well dunnit, having that block of oncrete just plonked there. Is it temporary ? I don't understand.

 

[Easy 10]

Ahh, just seen NJ's answer on the other thread, it is indeed a lift to the coach park (as also mentioned by cw00). I didn't realise there was such a gradient between the coach park and the stadium to justify needing a lift installed, so that was definitely news to me. Be interesting to see how that looks when its finished.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Is the coach park higher than the stadium I take it?

 

[Jack Straw]

Why oh Why are they not planting blue and white coloured bulbs?

Come April, when you travel from Saunders Park up to the viaduct, your wish will come true!
The blue and white road to the Amex will look stunning.
See photo of last April, but since then, this scheme has doubled in size!
