Just a question to those of you who used to stand on the popular side.... are you happy being moved to behind the goals or would you rather have down the side? Will it kill the atmosphere? I see similar problems at Salford with them moving the shed.


It depends, if the stadium is a fully cladded halo, then songs started in the west terrace could well travel around the ground with the north and south stands joining in. (I think a slow version of 'oh when the saints' would sound incredible in a fully enclosed, oval stadium :D )

Ideally, I'm sure most of the old popular sider's would prefer a standing side as opposed to an end, but I suppose thats just a sacrifice we have to make.

Re the open back of the stadium
I was watching a documentary a while ago on why they keep having to relay the Wembley pitch all the time (and quite often at the DW) the concencus with the experts was a lack of air flow in such an enclosed stadium. I believe it was Barcelona's stadium, or some other monster spanish one that the pitch in fact is mechanically lowered and roled out of the stadium after games to allow the pitch to "breath"
So the partially open backs are probably designed by much cleverer people than ourselves to ensure that the home of the saints continues to have the best pitch in the land


guessing you mean like the amazing Sapporo Dome that was used in the 2002 football world cup.

Ours should be like that.

In the few summer afternoon games we could play outside and sit on the grass hill.

How much fun would that be?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

That is actually a class idea. For nice days you have the sun and a picnic, for rainy cold days you have a good stadium to play in. Would certainly go down well in the NRL that one!

This weeks piccies

Gabbion and tree planting in front of JK Phillips. You can also see the cleared land which rumour has it will become a car park

Image

looks like they are close to completing the cladding in the South East corner

Image

East stand car park being tarmaced.
Also note that the posh golden concrete has only been laid upto the edge of the south stand facilities.
The East and as we we see later the North and West stands just receive the standard tarmac pavement treatment.

Image

More red seating installed in the South stand, however there is still more yet to be fitted

Image

The turnstile blocks in the North stand are starting to get the red cladding treatment.

Image

Image

Image

The lift shaft and staircase cladding looks almost complete

Image

Image

tarmacing the North west corner

Image

Now from the Tesco side of things

Image

The Turnstyle block in the South West corner is now resplendant in red
Note also the landscaping around the stadium

Image

Image

Image

looking from the linkroad they have taken down a lot of the Barr wooden fencing. You can also see were they have flattened out the huge dirt piles that lay in this part of the site

Image

further landscaping has been done on the entrance to Tescos from the linkroad. This includes a lot of tree planting.
The whole site is going to look quite pleasant in a decade or two once all those trees have had time to start to mature

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time -

"You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more"

Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior

I couldn't see the posh gold concrete.

I think this picture illustrates your point, you can see clearly the differences in the SE and SW corners and hence the differences in cladding

You guys must be so excited about the stadium. It looks fantastic.

Even I can't wait to step foot in the ground.
