Chisholm Demolition Starting

I think the roof coming off will be one of the most enthralling things to see.

Indeed, but it will need to be done when there are no gales forecast! They couldn't have done it in the last few days.

Looked at time lapse pics today and notice green mesh has been put up all along grandstand fencing.will not protect anybody running in to it.

When I first started watching Argyle back in 85 I used to stand in the lower Mayfair, right next to the tunnel. In a way it's sad seeing the old girl(grandstand and lower Mayflower) go, but at the same time I know that if Argyle want to progress both on and off the pitch then we do need new facilities. I haven't said much about the Mayflower and Grandstand development, but I can't wait to see the finished article, it will bring Argyle into the 21st century, and benefit the club in a vastly improved way.

Yeah I remember standing behind the home dugout and exchanging views with Big Mal!! :nworthy:
So feel a bit sad to see the step that I stood on chiselled up!

But .. Pilgrims Progress!! :scarf: :scarf:

What’s happening to the old tunnel? Is it just being filled in?

Is there an alternative? :think:

I’m sorry mate, but if anything - anything at all, had been happening inside of any significance we’d have been seeing it with the official access afforded to Steve at GoS.

This is a multimillion pound contract. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that the dozens of workers who’d normally be working on a project of this scale......aren’t there.

It’s bizarre why the club cannot be transparent about why nothing is happening. (And just to reiterate, I refer to the actual Grandstand)

I wonder what his opinion is now. Not posted for 3 weeks.

Keep up the good work, Steve (at GoS).

Maybe he’s all happy & content knowing that he was wrong & things are actually happening?

Oh look - A Gloucester Old Spot just flew past the grandstand!

Doesn’t look like a busy schedule on site. I was expecting more machines/men working different areas on site.

It’s slightly reminiscent of the motorway jobs where you get a 10 mile section of contra flow With 3 men working on it.

Work seems to have attracted a large touchline audience today.

Gone now. Youth team in for training?

If you were at the game yesterday did you notice any work had been done in the Chisholm building area.?

Big pile of rubble, probably from the terrace. I assume the crusher may return to deal with that

Some excavation works taking place behind the Grandstand, in area of the main entrance.

We dug out a win I believe?
