Double digger standoff over crane

Is there anybody left that doubts it's removal from it's current location? 

Me, a little bit. I mean, to be clear, I have no idea either way. I just like being a contrarian.

But what if, they attached spider legs to the crane, and made a much bigger spider using it as the centre piece?

As I've said in the thread before, why leave it up this long only to get rid of it now. Why not use it for one final showpiece?

Here is where they might be digging the footers for the spiders legs:

You wouldn’t dig the foundations of the crane out while it’s still standing would you? I’m pretty sure that isn’t the order you’d do it? They appear to have just dug random holes. Surely the crane(s) would need to dismantle it first, and for that you’d need a load of trackway down, of which there is no sign yet.

Spider-crane?

Genius idea, you could attach the spider eyes to the cab so it could rotate around and point it’s lazer beams at everyone, then still have the ball projector thing underneath.

[Crazyfool01]

cost might be an issue .... maybe the assembly time too ? 

[Junglist1981]

Spinning spider legs ftw 

[Junglist1981]

Could put the legs on upside down and have them spinning around like it's breakdancing. With fire coming out of it.

You're still left with the giant thing permanently anchored into the ground without planning permission!

It’s sat there for years without planning permission.

That would have to be insanely strong to be that far from the crane body!

It’s probably something dull like a trench for cables

Where was the DJ for the crane? I can't remember. Were they just on the floor underneath it?

Yeah just that platform at the very bottom that you can see.

[Yeo-vile idiot]

Under the massive ball that had the projections on it .

I loved watching the above vid a few times, here is a similar one...

No one gets bored watching these do they? 😄

I wonder if they might leave the foundations in the ground until after the festival.

Would the ground settle in time for the festival if they do remove them?

This would be the one thing that would get me interested in the spider again. They did say the Spider had basically eaten the crane.when they replied to this guy. But it’s doubful

Can anyone see the words Spidercrane without singing them? Spidercrane, spidercrane...does whatever a spider can etc

Indeed.  That's why it's going.

Arcadia has confirmed it's going.  They are literally in the field removing it.

But you still think it's staying 😂

Nice idea, however...

...I have to concur. 

I've made this rudimentary image to show it. I snipped the spider from the Monday after 2017's festival (couldn't get an image for 2019) and overlaid it on a snip from today, which shows the diggers. I made the spider transparent(ish) so you can see the relative position of the legs - it's not that clear so I've marked them with red circles. As you can see, they are far closer to the body of the spider than these potential new footings.

Nobody said they think it’s staying, we’re all just having a bit of fun speculating about what the alternatives to that might look like. You should try joining in.
