Good pictures on the Official site. The arial shot is good.
Is it me or does the south stand not look wide enough , NJ is it to be wider ?
Also NJ, what are the long bits of metal that are bolted to the upright concrete walls in the west (sorry for the non builder speak)
Also interesting to see terracing on the floor by the west , wonder when that will go in ?
Cheers
***edit *** nah those terrace things are clearly steps ... der

To back up my question on the south stand , have a look at this picture
http://www.seagulls.co.uk/javaImages/e/b8/0,,10433~3586062,00.jpg
The south west corner looks a bit weird, is that a seperate wall ? reason i ask is never seen a front on shot of this corner and it doesnt appear to mirro the north west in this pic

Yes , I thought that but wasn't sure. In that pic i posted it does look different to the north west corner though.
i didnt notice that, i must have been overwhelmed by the size of it and taken it wonkey!
Looks like 3 photos stitched together, but not quite right.
There's even 2 NE thrust blocks!
Great pics cw00 - thanks for taking the time to upload them.

Anyone noticed a third crane has started to arrive today. Is this to replace one of the existing or do they now need three large cranes?
Just spotted something in the third new pic on the official site site which has alarmed me a bit. This is an aerial shot and at present the curve of the arch of the east stand roof means that if you sit on the half way line near pitch level and it pisses down then you will get soaked.
NJ could you put my mind at rest and confirm that the roof will extend past the arch towards the pitch and keep us all snug and dry?

Think of the arch as being roughly at the middle of the roof and that will give you a good idea of how far it will extend. Drawings here might help - http://www.brighton-and-hove.co.uk/ esp "comparative sections-section c-c" the lower image.

I think that is 'stadium design version 1', whereas we are building 'version 2'. The major difference being the design of the arch. Nonetheless, the reassurance provided remains valid. Have a look at the 'erection of the east stand' vid on youtube.

Don't forget that pic is outdated.
You have to look more to THIS one

I was looking at that very issue early, as it happens. Looks as though the edge of roof, for the East stand at least, should be pretty much in line with the dogheads (ie the ends of the arch).

The roof-line extends to the pitch area on all sides

I noticed some folks on the Webcam in the "viewing area" without hard hats etc. How does one get themselves invited to such viewings, I wonder?
