The first ten years at Brickfields (part 5b.) 2007/2008


A full house in the Redro

Here are some of the remaining photographs of the Redrow construction this extra stand has of course dramatically changed and improved the ground and also added an excellent vantage point for the television and the regular d.v.d. tapes of the games as well a good place to watch Albion.

East Stand 90, during the Gloucester game.jpg

 

This was taken during the pre season friendly against Gloucester.  No problems with restricted viewing there.

 

 

East Stand 91, the precast concrete arrives.jpg

 

The precast floor slabs for the terracing arrive.

 

 

East stand 119..jpg

 

This photo shows those terrace flooring slabs in place, it's beginning to look like a grandstand now.

The cladding ot the rear of the stand goes on.

A view of the North terrace from the top of the Redrow.

 

East Stand 108..jpg

 

The same view before the barriers were installed.

 

East stand 123. the mezzanine floor is laid.jpg

 

The precast floor slabs being laid to the mezzanine floor ( the Guinness Bar ) I think thats what it's called, I only see it every game mind you, anyway it holds about 50/60 for a meal and it used to be used for pre match meals for about £7/8 for the supporters but that has now stopped I think. A usefull additional seating area for bust corporate days such as over the Christmas period and the New year.

Now with the floor screeded the blockwork goes up on the mezzanine, the athlectics track is on the left of picture.

 

 

East Stand 127, mesh for ground slab..jpg

 

The reinforcing steelwork is laid to the main floor prior to the slab being laid, this wont get washed away easily.

 

 

 

 

 

East Stand 129, perimeter brickwork laid.jpg

 

The perimiter brickwork starts to go up, note the steps to the front are now in place.

The rest as they say is history, if anyone has a million pounds or so they can add another similar bay to the existing stand, any takers ?

Great work 'noibla' I used to enjoy watching games while standing in front of the old score board.
