JS's American Express Community Stadium Watch No.91 (8/10/10)

[Jack Straw]

Very autumnal this morning. Waited until mid-day and the sun duly appeared.
The GOSBTS takes on a silvery sheen when viewed from certain angles with the sun out. Reminds me of my two-tone suit I wore in the early '70's!
The West Stand facia and surrounds look very clean, neat and tidy - dare I say virtually finished?
Block work continues apace on the North and South Stands.
Massive concrete blocks appearing by the station to support the walkway from the new foot bridge.
Just 2 lots of 5 today, but Monday should see a bumper batch from the monthly inside special.
Here's to a decent showing on the telly against 3rd placed Bournemouth tomorrow, and of course, 3 points.
Ah! Don't forget to sing Good Old Sussex By the Sea SLOWLY!!!

Batch 1 - Picture 3. It looks like our stadium is slanted or are we suffering from subsidence?

Agree 100 per cent - although 'won't' might be a better word than 'wouldn't'.

Are they going to fill in the gaps between the main wall and the tops of the stand?
