Jack Straw's Amex Com. Stad. Watch No. 83 (12/8/10). Aerial Special.

[Jack Straw]

6th August (last Friday) was Everest's birthday, and in exactly one year's time from then is the first competitive match at the Amex.
Everest sugested that we went up in a plane last week to take some aerial shots but the weather wasn't brilliant, and there were some excellent photos posted last week anyway. Therefore, we rescheduled for today.
It was a bit windy up there, so hard to keep the camera steady , and the windows weren't that clean, but never mind.
Everest's video will appear on another thread later.
Sorry for posting these a day early, but what's the point in waiting?
3 lots of 5 coming up.

I've said it before - those gaps in the corner look so BIG!

 

[borowha]

Wonderful stuff.

what strikes me is how can anyone in their right mind say the stadium is a blot on the landscape - have they seen the state of the university

 

[Stat Brother]

I love the last one, quite clearly showing Falmer is next to, and not in, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

 

[house your seagull]

the north and south stands look bigger now.

 

[Everest]

Great shooting SIR JS.

I managed to get one, yes ONE, photo!
And that was out of bloody focus!
But video was got, albeit a couple of minutes worth.

What a shame we landed when we did.
Another 2 minutes and the airport would have been closed for landings because of the Spitfire doing its flying thing.

Computer is busy sorting out the video, so it should be live in an hour or so.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Well done lads. Flamin' excellent.

 

[AlbionKebabs]

Jizm in my panties.

 

[Mr Blobby]

You can see my car in the University of Sussex car park in a couple of shots if you look very closely! Some cracking pictures! SOmething to think about when we are sitting in the rain at Withdean against Rochdale again tomorrow!

I've said it before - those gaps in the corner look so BIG!

Look at it this way: The bigger the spaces, the more we can increase the capacity when needed.
The glass is always half full!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Remind me of the reason for the wonkiness at the ends again?...

 

[Bwian]

Excellent stuff Graeme-did you flush the toilet over a certain Falmer residence?

 

[B.W.]

Fantastic shots JS... thank you once again for brightening my day... BW.

 

[lighthouse]

I did the flight at the end of June. It really is money well spent!

When you look down you do wonder why they chose to build a village right next to the site for the stadium

 

[Gritt23]

I've said it before - those gaps in the corner look so BIG!

They do don't they.

They are just begging to get filled in with some extra seats.

 

[Bwian]

That bloody great field where they've dumped all the chalk is just begging to be a car park!
