I’m getting the collywobbles already just thinking about it.

I’m sitting here at home getting the gear ready for Thomond Park later on tonight.

Down to the wire as usual with Munster, and not a straightforward down to the wire either (As usual).

Win and bonus point by 7:15 or so this evening and we’re on the campaign tour trail again. (I’m not going into the maths bit again, there’s a previous post for that CLICK HERE ). The nervous anticipation has started. I can’t keep my mind on the things I have to do at home before I go and I’ve not been like this since Cardiff. I’ve packed the camera gear about three times, keep forgetting what I’ve put in and have to keep taking everything out to check for a finish I’ve just dumped everything into the vehicle and I’ll sort it out when I get there.

I’ll get some shots up either tonight or tomorrow after the Bruff Vs. Midleton Match.

Came across a link on Bocktherobber.com earlier.

The site is standupandbuild.com and has loads of time lapse videos etc of the construction to date.

Click here for the link

EDIT: It appears that this site has been “Withdrawn????” Don’t know what the story is so you’ll hafta just do with the photos stored here!

Thomond Park Pictures Cont.

Righto, along the theme of Thomond Park (Or “New Limerick Stadium” if you like what they’re trying to name it) I’ve linked to another set of photos at the bottom of the post. This shows the Second Part of the roof Frame over the East Stand (Former “Popular Side”).

There is a couple showing the construction on the West Stand (The Former Stand Side).

Have a look at the little green box hanging from the crane over the frame. There was two guys in it welding the two parts of the roof frame together, standing in the box. The Big Round Concrete cone shaped lumps, (which I thought were for the new light pole Bases) seem to be the bases for the bottom of the Roof frame. There’s some nice steelwork going on on the top floor too.

Anyways click below if ya want a look.

I’ll probably make this a fairly regular feature as the work progresses.

As they started to put the roof frame on the west stand yesterday, I managed to get a few shots of what was going on during the day. To get a look at them click

Link to Photo Gallery.

Again with the proviso that it is probably not Dial up Friendly, the pics being kinda Biggish files.
