Are the seat bars in the west stand yet, i cant quite make it out? I can see there in for the East and North stands are currently going in?

The North stand was the first to be completed. They've now finished the South (which I think you mistook for the North?) and the West lower is to be completed.

Concrete going down in the southeast corner.

Was told the seats are going in the last 2 weeks of the month. Should be soon now!

In my opinion the following two have been most exciting for me watching from the outside

1) Ground works. Seeing that blue container arrive on with the Buckingham group sign, and then the field being dug up

All that lovely top soil! Cant be far from seeding now can we?

 

[Coleby1007]

Is that the west stand lower seating bars going in?? I cant make it out?

Pitch is almost covered with topsoil!! Im so excited all six of my nipples are tingling!!

Is it raining in Brighton?

Because it is in Burgess Hill and the webcam makes all the stands look very dry.

It is raining down here and i was just thinking the same.

Perhaps as it's not very windy the rain isn't being blown into the stands?

Ssshhhh, if people think the roof works they will have nothing to moan about! hehe

stands do look a lot less wet, looks like they are painting the steps in the north stand i think.

I hope it's non-slip stuff too for when the terracing gets a good soaking.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Someone called it on another thread, it looks like there's another layer to go on the pitch.

 

[Everest]

Somebody's stolen the pitch!

 

[adrian29uk]

I wonder if that's it for the pitch now and the seeds are done?
Or is there another layer to go with the seeds?

 

[Coleby1007]

Seats should be going in by now. Was told at the presentation theyre going in on the last 2 weeks of the month!

 

[adrian29uk]

The seats and the grass are going to be two of the most exciting parts of this build for me. Once those seats go in and the pitch starts forming, its going to transform the whole stadium.

If you look on the webcam the current pitch level is below the run-off area. It is especially noticeable in the South East corner where there is a drainage cover that is way above the level. So I would say there is quite a bit of topsoil to be laid down before the seeding begins. Hope that helps.

This maybe a stupid question, but is the north stand to the right or left to the west from the webcam p.o.v?
