Diego_Sideburns Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Despite my excellent photography showing otherwise, the first brick has seemingly officially been laid today. Could it be the first brick laid above the damp course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody help me out here? Guessing that this is the first of the named bricks that fans bought? Base layers will be covered by the concourse therefore these will be the first layers that will be viewable upon project completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base layers will be covered by the concourse therefore these will be the first layers that will be viewable upon project completion. It could be that the guy won the right to lay the first brick at the end of last season, but he's been too busy to get round to carrying out the task, and the contractor didn't want to wait until this week to start the bricklaying.

steveoafc Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It appears to me, there will be more of a concourse bar with tv screens, as opposed to a 'pub' type area. I could be totally wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyleArmy1994 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Is it just me who visions the new stand and all its glory opening to a CHAMPIONSHIP game at home in front of a bumper 13,000 crowd with all the corporate boxes filled, a supporters bar filled on a hot sunny august day, maybe in front of the sky cameras and possibly, just possibly, a win with a good few goals and a solid performance.... **wipes drool from mouth** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the diagonal side supports at each end of the stand from roof to terracing are not mounted level with each other and it's been bugging me ever since...The CRE support is much further back than the one at the RRE, I thought that perhaps it could have something to do with future development of the CRE corners. Anybody know the reason for this? Perhaps Paul Whitehead could enlighten us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
