[Albion] New proposed fan zone

[portslade seagull]

Not exactly a lot has happened in the last month by the looks of it, although I see to remember there are some cable or something which need moving which I guess is something a utility company has to do so maybe they are still waiting

Yeah UKPN dragging their heels somewhat.

I guess when it is built we could sell it back to ourselves in the future to overcome any FFP problems.

Local firm tho eh? That's all good shirley? And the club, being a private concern with only one major shareholder, are under no real obligation to put anything major out to tender unless they really want to. Companies House search facility is your friend here. Interesting rabbit hole to be sure...

Yes of course it's all above board I am sure just never ceases to amaze me. I am also aware of what you speak regarding CH as well.

My work role changed last year and I am now responsible for several external third party vendor relationships and if I even so much as want to change one iota of their role/contract etc then I am forced to go through a revised tender process that is so arduous and timeconsuming it could be a role in itself....

You do know that long-time Albion director Derek Chapman formed Adenstar back in 1982?

if we tell UKPN that the cable is under a busy road and that they have a chance of causing disruption to traffic for months they’ll be round like a shot.

Imagine how much we'd have spanked on players by now if we'd got permission for the hotel

If it’s anything like boxpark then lots of the structure will be created off site, and quite a simple fitting together & bolting into place when it arrives at the Amex. It’s not like a house with lots of brick walls to build. It’s shipping container style boxes for the food outlets inside a bigger steel structure. So we’ll probably see lots of slow foundations work for months, as if the process is going at snails pace, and then the main structure will quickly go up over a couple of weeks.

This is why I’m puzzled it costs 7m quid.

Mostly the cable cars from Woodingdean and Ditchling Beacon.

I go past 3 or 4 times a week, and although there doesnt appear much above ground, there has been plenty of groundwork done, some quite deep excavations in the fanzone area, there is work beingdone behind the stadium ( side of the legends posters), and groundwork from the fan zone, up and past the NHS Scanner trucks

Theres a lot of weork being done on Bennets field, which seems related with steel "cages" being made(looks like the reinforcement for pouring concrete over when in place, this may be nothing to do with fan zone-but all looks connected

I think this will be one of those cases where nothing is visable above ground for ages, and then almost overnight it all appears

37 bricks, the essential electric cables, a drainage pipe and the obligatory solar panel. Coat of paint and it looks almost there.

Yep a lick of red and blue paint, and it will be just perfect for them.

I wonder if the new stadium sound system has gone in yet? I have a Bluetooth speaker that produces better sound quality than the current set up.

So that’s what the Tunnel Club looks like.

Love the upper tier - looks great.

a friend had a work event there on Weds and said it was being installed, being a palace fan he really didn't enjoy being stuck in the Amex all day shame!
