Dismantling the Withdean

[Rookie]

Just read on Twitter that workmen are dismantling the old place - anyone up there taking a few sneak pictures or does no one care?

 

[stonski]

Don't care

Where's Jack Straw when you need him?

The south stand gets dismantled every year and goes to the British open.

Not since the Club bought it.

Yesterday's Argus says that they are being taken down and put into storage ready to be reinstalled at Whitehawk's ground after redevelopment.

What are Whitehawk going to do with 3,000 seats?

Did not realise, have not been paying attention! I worked at the withdean excavating the foundations for the stands and can remember at first that it was taken down for safety check and used at British open

Kid themselves.

First of all, it's 'Withdean' NOT 'THE Withdean'. Secondly, I reckon Crawley should make us an offer for the South Stand.

there's an irony here, we need a withdean webcam.

come on club, sort it out!

Went on the P & R a few days ago and I am sure there are notices displayed seeking planning permission to keep some of the stands at Withdean.

Only the West Stand (away end).

I must admit I didnt really read it more noticed it was about retaining 1 or more stands.

Jack Straw is employed by Countdown2Falmer. He was owed a couple of days holiday, so he has had the day off.

There was a photo somewhere- must have been the Argus yesterday? (front section not sports section).

I know I've seen one, it was of the small stands at the east end of the ground being reduced to scaffold.
