Work has now started with concrete being moved from one end of the ground to the other by our ever hard working groundsman Buzzer! Concrete being set in the cow shed ..

I will be going to the ground on a regular basis as I did wiht the new roof and uploading photographs same day.

To see the pics go through the gallery on the fishy website :)

been to a funurel today so i will get some pics tommorow (tuesday) and post for those not going to the game so you can see whats happening re the seats.
 
No this was half way line... bit of a mish mash really... all terrace then a block of seats in middle with terrace left/right and behind
 
since when did any stanley fan care how our ground looks?
do what we have to do to keep the FA happy and we can move onwards and upwards.
 
Depressing seeing the Love Street Stands being stripped of their seats.

Reminds me of the picture of Peel Park on the front cover of Phil Whalley's book. All it needs is a St Mirren fan sat there with his head in his hands.
 
I'd stop work on the seats now. 7 points clear on the relegation zone and some tough games coming up, maybe we should hang on a couple of weeks before splashing out any more money?
 
Theres less than 8 week to the non flexi deadline.. work hasnt started on clayton end... anyone know how long the job will actually take... someone told me the concrete takes 4-6 weeks to set to the requirements to be able to use for this purpose... BUT and I emphasis BUT that could be a load of tosh.
 
don't really know K-P but my money would be on "Load Of Tosh" on the basis, when they do concreting on building sites, no way they have ever waited anywhere near that long to continue.:)
 
your right.. i drive past a plot one week and litrally a month later theres a house on it... seriously.

so we can probably leave it to the middle of april then :)

If you put some row-bolts into the concrete too soon, when you tighten the bolt it will fracture the concrete. (Similar to putting a nail too close to the edge on a piece of wood. ) The bolts to hold the seats are only small so they will not have as long to wait for curing.
4 weeks is the maximum, about a week in decent weather will probably be enough.
By the time they have finished the concreting, the first lot should have cured enough to drill.
Building a wall on concrete is a different matter as the load is spread across the top in a downward force. Bolting exherts the stresses from inside to the outside forcing the concrete to split.
 
I was down there this aft and nothing to photograph as not much happened since friday.

Redash i presume you know your stuff..You sound like you do... If deadline day is May 1st and we havent even started on clayton end then arn't we pushing it a bit tight?

Sorry just me getting worried :(
