Never thought I'd say this about a bridge but phwoar

That's amazing, what's the music marras?

Eno?

 

[Geppetto]

Makes sense if you're coming from The Burton House. It'll be interesting to see how many choose Wearmouth after the match.

Just one of the royalty free ones off YouTube. Can't remember the exact name but it's something like 'Amulets of Light' which I guess is quite appropriate. I'd never made the 'of light' link before.

Sounds like a classic piece I know.

 

[RokerRoarer]

Really?
Got a link for this marra?

Point 4. But there's more about it on other articles. Don't know if there's a time frame for it though.

Makes is dead proud like, Sunderland's becoming a class city

We are finally becoming an actual city rather than a big town. Only 32 years after getting city status mind ya haha

 

[riffraff]

Bbb...bbbbut the Labour Council never gets investment in the city. Read it on here.

Not recently. The previous regimes are now being revealed as the small town visionless second raters they were regularly accused of being. We’ll done the new crew.

Our group come from both sides of the river and meet at the Wetherspoons by the museum. Hmmm. I reckon we’ll keep using the Wearmouth bridge unless of course we change pubs.
The Empire area pubs will certainly see an upturn in takings.

Unfortunately mate it will be closed off on matchdays due to weight restrictions.


Karen on facebook reliably informed me.

The Zip Wire will be open though.

 

[Blyth]

Video is epic

Was saying the bridge wasn't exactly aesthetically pleasing the other day

Seeing that realise it's more the whole match ritual vibe

Just a shame only one city in the north east is allowed iconic things, by law

Probably have to use a different word like 'alright'

Can you not wait until it’s finished and lit up like?

 

[The Town Hall Clock]

Shows why they should've extended the South rather than North stand

Not beneficial to the pitch, mind.

 

[basket case]

Ar'nt drones brilliant! Love it.

Sounds like an remix/edit of this:

Could be wrong, but wasn’t the north stand expanded first mainly due to proposed building work planned for there, which could have scuppered an expansion?

 

[Bald King]

Be ready for the start of next season

Premier league opening. All part of the plan.

Itl soon have graffiti arl ower it

I'm going to spray paint "Chris Rigg Ole Ole Ole" on it

Appeared to have a slight camber on it when I was watching on Monday.

They're not, it's just a bit of barrel distortion from the nature of the photo

Took a look as I crossed the Wearmouth Bridge yesterday. The main central span does have a camber but it’s arched in the traditional way and the image I asked the question about certainly is due to lens distortion.

Absolutely brilliant that. The Sol looks resplendent. All ties in so well.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

My first match of the season yesterday due to the way the fixtures and my holidays panned out and I didn’t realise how much some of the buildings around there had came on. The ones on the Vaux site that have all the brickwork look smart, and that Culture House is flying up.

It'll be set with an amount of precamber as well to allow for the dead load of the precast units and final surfacing etc.
