[Albion] New proposed fan zone

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'm not dissing the facility I think it is fantastic, just wondering about likely usage outside of match days.

Agree that it is going to be a significant investment of a few million to provide better facilities and there can't be many if any clubs making that type of investment at the moment.

You say that, but we invested £15m into a bloke that could actually DJ, and yet, we still have fanzone

Cabling going in, 5 minute job.

Be ready for next Saturday.

They seemed to be really cracking on with it.

I imagine most of it will be prefabricated off site so once the groundwork is done it will probably be completed in a matter of weeks

the Upper floor could lead to the north stand shelf/hospitality area by escalators

Monorail surely?

Any new pics of this?

I rode past it yesterday, its all work on the foundation and underground services, its fenced off and has blue and white screens so very little can be seen. There is a new tarmac path that goes from the entrance of the players car park, and up to Bennets field, going behind the little hill opposite the North Stand. Not sure if this is part of the fan zone, or just been installed ready for the student blocks on Bennets field.

The gap between the new building and the stadium looks really REALLY small doesn't it?

It looks smaller in the mock ups than it is in real life, based on the position of the fences

Yep. Going to be carnage when they send the West Stand round that way to the P&R against Palace.

 

[Withdean11]

Any idea what they are building by the Mill Road P&R pickup?

really hope that trench is just for foundation, fancy paving etc. and not the line of the new building.

I should imagine the architects have done a thorough job of calculating the space needed. I think you're probably worrying about nothing.

Of all the things I was worried about when the stadium was being built, none were founded.

Barber explained a bit about this on the podcast, having to do some foundation work as the cables underneath needed to be moved (or that’s what I took from what he said). This has meant a delay in the planned opening

Out of interest, what were your concerns?

The Bennett's Field accommodation won't have any paths etc on the Amex site.

Central station for the mono-rail.

The glass partitions in the away end
The placing of the earth from the excavations
Falmer station (OK, hmm..)
The line of sight from some areas
The open corners

And probably one or two other things which I can't remember now.

Fair enough.
