[Albion] New proposed fan zone

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I have revisited all of the mockups and concluded that #gapgate be put on hold for now. I think it'll be about the same width as the one running the entire length of the West Stand.

Love that - love Gully digging, love the fact they have already started, love the idea generally.

I now expect weekly if not daily pictures, drone videos, updates and commentary of the build.

@Jack Straw you're all set up and ready to go right?


Right?

Also yes, to confirm Barber said it should be open in time for the last of the good weather of the year (i.e. Sept/Oct time). Was hoping to have it open in time for the Euros but the cabling issue has slowed things down.

So it will be open for one day in August?

He just can't keep away!

What a needlessly childish, churlish remark.

*half a day in August

Everyone realises that whilst it's still a novelty the new FanZone will be the cause of an even larger mass exodus on 80 mins as everyone wants to get in the queue!!

At last! The monorail project is up and running.

A photo of where?

The (pre stadium) construction of the ramp down to the station. You can see the unconstructed East Stand in the background.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

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.

So - underground services instead of monorail - controversial but still ambitious!

Have they started digging the footings for the zipline tower?

Smashing photos! Are the club using a German construction company? The reason that I ask is that all the Albion beach towels are already being used to bag spaces for when the fan zone opens. Bad form!

When the Amex was being built, I think someone posted on nsc that they’d guerilla seeded Echium vulgare on adjacent wasteland. Not you?

Are they trying to improve the acoustics in the east?
