As
City push to go up to the Prem, Filbert Street is coming down.
Demolition
company, Connell Brothers, start work on Filbo as early as
next week.
The
first few weeks will see a lot of work going inside the ground
and then the Carling Stand will start being dismantled (no-one
wanted to buy it).
They'll
then get the big machinery onto the old pitch area and start
pulling the old stands in from the inside. Lots of the rubble
will be recycled. The pitch level is a lot lower than street
level and that will need to be filled in with material produced
from the demolition.
Downing Developments are to build a £30m development "student
village" for 675 students on the site.
None
of the site is to be kept as a memory and material from the
old Filbo is not to be made available apparently.

Forum.
