Quite the opposite is happening at the JJB. That is disappearing fast right before their eyes!

I hadn`t intended to post any new pictures but we were down there earlier on today so I snapped a couple with my mobile as you can see , one side of the site is almost clear , this is the part called phase 2















Have a nice New Year and hope to have some pictures in the spring when they start demolishing the warehouses

Only the the batch plant left standing now, the chimneys have gone, they have started to knock the batch plant down (thats the grey concrete building), the warehouses wont take long once they are empty.

Just a couple of pictures taken today















and I noticed these grilles on the new block of flats near the transport museum where the bus offices were

I heard a funny story about the biggest of the two chimneys, work to demolish the chimney took longer than expected, when they were ready to knock it down it was 9.30 at night, they couldn't leave it unstable overnight having cut away part of the chimney at the bottom, so they shoved it over with a crane or something like that, it shook the flats at Peasly Cross and the area around shook, the noise sounded like a bomb had gone off.

From our canteen at work i can see almost all of the work,they started to rip off the top of the big buildings this mornings but either packed up at 10am or moved round my blindside,i'll try and get some pics asap.

There's a big cob missing off the back of the batch plant now, you can see it from the side of carphone warehouse.

Good pictures Gruntfuttock keep em coming





It's jusy a pity no news is coming from the club regarding were there upto

oh and the guys are actually working on a Sunday in this weather









and







and its flippin freezin out there





oh and to save you looking back over this thread

this is what we started with

Panoramic view of the site on Monday

Does anyone know when there going to start doing some proper work on the Stadium? Seems to have gone quiet from the club.

Nothing can be done until Pilk's lease is up. Then the site needs decontaminating.



Last time I asked anyone reliable, we were looking at a September start date.

Originally - before we got planning approval - it was supposed to be an April start date wasn't it?

Initially, aye

Pilks lease is up in April. I presume once they have gone, clearing / decontaminating can start. If that is the case building work could actually start in September if it is cleaned up on time.

Wow, did you really just repeat what I posted?

NO! I added April to it.

the stadium pictures looking great.
