Day Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I will have a bunch of photos somewhere, used to get taken down there with the camera and capture the progress. Really need to find them. REDCAR and Carl Sagan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Drove over where the pitch is on a daily basis when I was putting in the kerbs on the flyover. They'd open the construction gate to let us through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks so much better as it is now, both from the inside, and outside. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I can remember going down there just after they started laying the pitch, which was just soil, and no turn laid on it. I only got to view from one of the corners, but have no idea which one. I wasn’t allowed to look for long, but was surprised how “square” the pitch looked at the time!

Walkley Ram Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I remember going in that little portacabin by the ground and being shown on a computer the 3d view of your new season ticket seats. It felt like the future. uttoxram75 and JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to find an excuse to drive past to watch progress and often managed a quick look inside during construction. Me dad worked for BR for 32 years on the Pride Park/Chaddesden sidings site so we kept up to date with it all the way through. Dad was chuffed (railway pun intended) that the Roundhouse was saved and still served a useful purpose. He's passed now but every home game i think of him working at the very place the Rams now play at. minesahartington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Was at Wilmorton college whilst it was being built, so got to see the progress on a daily basis. Good times! Walkley Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
