The concrete can not have been washed away.

If you look at the latest picture, you can see there is no concrete. So obviously it has been washed away...Kenzie2012 wrote:Where has this come from???

It's still there, it's just under a layer of muddy water/sludgy waste.
Even people on site today have said its still there.
The idea that much concrete could have been washed away is rubbish....

I'll expand my side before anyone else asks for it...
The pour was in a hole, a massive hole, if its rained and "washed" the concrete away, where it gone?
How's it got out of the hole? Does anyone know if its been pumped out? There's certainly no drains for it is there?
No! Because its still there....

I understand exactly what you are saying; how silly to think it had been washed away ](*,)Kenzie2012 wrote: I'll expand my side before anyone else asks for it...

First, we'll all now agree that the concrete was not washed away, just covered by wet mud from rain. The footers are surrounded by a holder which goes around the outside of the rebar, this keeps the footers' shape. Once the footers are dry they'll remove the holder and you'll have the finished footer!! Because they are in holders, the rain cannot wash them away.Kenzie2012 wrote: Right then, footers they are...

After I typed that I had that moment where I realised they needed a casing of some sort to keep shape.
Rumour of the concrete has come from TS I think.... I've got photos of site to day being sent to me so ill post when they come through.
Apparently you can see the concrete under the muck a lot easier today.

Yes, i've just noticed this as well. The white boxes that can be seen go in the center of the rebar to support the footer's shape.ry1996 wrote: The actual footers haven't been poured yet, you can still see the rebar.

poviding they are footers and are to the indoor section, it looks like the track will careen straight into that mud wall unless there is some kind of airtime hill or small zero-g-roll, not like the standard Inlinetwists Gerst seem to do.

-- BREAKING NEWS --
Some of the TowersTimes team were at the park today for Scarefest and have unfortunately not returned..
It seems due to the heavy rain, they have also been washed away, hence why I am the only one online.
RIP TeamTT who went to watery grave. Sad times.
The information above is total rubbish lol, team TT are fine!

You really should keep better tabs on your team Pete. Last time you lost them they were found working the street.
