What a beautiful setting for a football stadium. Suprised nobody objected?

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Great pictures! I was capering about on that roof I was! Or at least picking my way very carefully over the mesh.
I'm also hoping that, if I ask very nicely indeed, I might get more inside access for snapping as the job progresses.

I don't believe that you are correct PS, the west stand will be a little taller and deeper (wider), as well as internally different. It will make the east stand look small in comparison.

Ok i will stand corrected if that true, i was basing it on the artist photos showing the height of the compete stadium to be uniform all the way around rather than each stand having different heights.

NJ, Anorak on time,

how is the terrace shuttering held in place as each step is poured ?

There is quite a few tons of concrete per step onto a sloping surface which in addition to it own weight exerts a lot of of force onto the shuttering , yet i does not appear to be fixed mechanically each time, it just down to friction ??

I love this shot

This one's making me firm...

Do we know if they're going to demolish the whole right hand side of that above pic? (Including the tennis courts?)

Yes. Tennis courts are to be removed to make way for access routes

I will never get tired of seeing pictures of this stadium being built. Thank you Mr/Mrs Natterjack.

Cheers, nj. It's going to be one mighty construction site.

Here you go...

This is a section view of the stadium from the north, which shows that the west stand is both taller and deeper than the east stand now being built.



Exciting times... :yahoo:
