No problem mate we will keep going , funny thing is , i think when the gound was cleared someone started a thread on the Wigan forum about how they should have a dedicated stadium , caused great debate at the time , seems to have died a death shortly after as most sensible fans realised no one would pay for it

Looking at pictures of the Keepmoat Stadium it seems very similar to the design of the Saints new ground. Shows a good idea how the finished stadium may look.

From my limited knowledge I think the ground works and foundations take by far the longest! Stpete will probably know better

yet more piccies



These are near the basement area and show that the mucky mountain is being cleared away





You may also have noticed from the earlier pictures that the dumper trucks are carrying dirt to the Peasley cross end of the site.
They appear to be raising the level of the ground at this end.
I got this pic through the gate post at Peasley cross, You can see the dump trucks queuing to offload soil
