Coalition forces bombing Gadaffi's air force.
At our stadium site, it's looking more and more like a bomb hasn't hit it!
Dare I say, we've started the finishing touches?
All the blue hoarding has been removed from Falmer station area, and the new route to the stadium and Uni buildings is open, but not yet the new bridge.
Planting continues with more native species. Ash, Hawthorn, and I think Field Maples, as well as the already identified Holly and Yew.
Trees being watered too.
How about yet another 1-0 against Swindon tomorrow?
Don't forget it's 1.00pm kick-off!

18th March 2011

Radiation scare in Japan due to nuclear power plants being damaged by the tsunami.
Let's hope none of the plants being put in around our stadium fail!
Forget inside shots from now on, apart from the official ones, unless we get access for an "Inside Special", hopefully soon.
Focus is now on the landscaping.
Hollies and Yews amongst other deciduous stuff being planted thicket stylee behind the North Stand.
More trees by the coach park.
Loads more blue hoarding has been removed behind West Stand.
Oldham away tomorrow. Whatever happens, still top of the league.

11th March 2011

Massive tsunami in Japan. Incredible scenes on the telly this morning.
We're so flipping lucky we don't get events like that.
Stadium wise, TREES!
At last, the first trees (Limes - Tilia) are going in.
Avenue of 20 or so in the north-west corner of the site.
Cliff reinforcement continuing.
I'm told that the new footbridge and related bits should open in 2 weeks time.
Tranmere at home tomorrow and B'muff v Stains.
Could be almost home and dry tomorrow night.

A rare event - the sun's shining!
Our Council needs to save £ 34 million.
Chicken feed.
You can't even buy a third of a decent football stadium for that money now-a-days.
The storage area behind the south west corner seems to be less cluttered.
Bull-nose edging on West Stand seems to be causing a minor problem.
The bottom 10 feet or so of the cliff behind the West Stand is being concreted.
Still no trees.
