[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.

[/quote]

Another classic:

[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.

Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.

Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666

0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".

Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

Will the road in front of the South stand be the only area accessible to the public on a non match day?

I know it might seem a bit premature to ask this, but has the stadium been designed in a way to easily build extensions to the capacity of the stadium?


I'm not sure, but it's pretty tight round the actual stadium, we could possibly build up, but that would be about it.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:19 pm  
Well here are my first set of pics from the completed stadium, (phase 1 anyway)

Lets just say that up close it just blows you away. Especially when looking in the direction of Keirons statue from the Western side.
The stadium then becomes a thing of beauty, and well you just start to feel a bit like a kid in a toy shop.

I would advise any self respecting Saints fan to make the pilgrimage and go for a walk round the stadium. The Tesco's which opens on Monday makes for a perfect parking spec. It really will take your breath away.

Today there was a steady stream of people walking or cycling up past the south stand, i spoke with many and all were very very impressed.

Anyway enjoy.


Paragons portacabins have been fitted in the East stand

Image

A close inspection of the East stand turnstiles shows the shuutters down to prevent the incursion of undesirables

Image

The South stand with a car parked in front of it. One of the many admirers of OUR stadium.

Image

I managed to get some pictures inside the stadium, sorry about the reflections however it was unavoidable due to sticking my camera against the glass.

This is the community facility showing on the left between the double doors, the moveable partitions.

Image

The main entrance. You need to go through two sets of doors to get inside. This should ensure the receptionist doesnt get cold from drafts. The floor is beautifully tiled in grey. In the background can be seen the reception desk.

Image

The ticket office caters fully for wheelchair bound spectators, featuring a lower level ticket booth

Image

The club shop and museum area is pretty spartan at present. Note on the right of the first picture what looks like a set of rugby posts. This is were the shop counter will i think go, as its linked by a doorway to the ticket office.
The club shop looks like it will be significantly larger than the shop in the town centre.

Image

Image

The cafe bar area is long but narrow. It currently has a classy looking wooden floor in need of a good clean and polish

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:38 pm  
Nice to meet you CM , these are what we came up with

Mrs G and I went for a walk around the stadium, all we could say was WOW!!! , the whole time we were there we couldnt stop smiling, it is superb close up , and a credit to Mr McManus and the board who have produced it

we started walking past Tesco`s , this is the view you will get coming from the McDonalds end
Image

Image

then we came across the mysterious red glass panels we have heard about , they dont seem to be in any kind of a pattern

Image

Image

they still look very stylish

as you can see you can now get quite close to the stadium

Image

Mrs g couldnt resist touching the stadium (her first chance)

Image

and a look at the bridgeworks
Image

Image

a section of the walkway
Image

OK I will own up I couldnt resist hugging the stadium either !!:o():)

Image

Ticket office looks really nice

Image

as does what i think is the cafe bar

Image

the mysterious hologram turns out to be a projection of some kind , i like the "Ex Terra Lucem" under it though

Image

between the lift doors in the main reception is this plaque

Image

stairway to heaven from the top

Image

se turnstiles

Image

and a couple of pictures of KC

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:44 pm  
Now onto "THE KINGS CORNER"

Magnificent.

Image

Image

THE KINGS CORNER features a wonderful open space with a rich red crushed glass surface. It looks like a giant red carpet.
I can imagine this being a place to congregate and meet up pre match. A place for small scale open air exhibitions, or just a performing space for street performers.

Image

After being somewhat overwhelmed by the above, i decided i needed to be brought back down to Earth a bit.

For the first time i got a close up view of the West stand area.
The gap between Tesco's and the new stadium is indeed small but is still large enough to drive a bus between if need be.

Image

Image

The West and North stands look somewhat naked, utilitarian and lacking in the pageantry of their more illustrious Southern neighbour.
Its like coming from the Hermitage, to visiting a tower block.

Image

Image

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:59 pm  
All that greyness was depressing me, i needed more colour, so back i went to THE KINGS CORNER.

Image

I decided to take a walk down the BOULEVARD OF SAINTS and followed a BMW that decided that the footpath would make a nice road to drive down.

Image

The driver of the car was lucky that one of the "Sleeping policemen" was actually asleep.

Image

walking along this path one comes across another carpet of red

Image

note the wooden benches on the gabions. I just hope this is designated a no alcohol area, so that it remains a family friendly area on matchday.
Otherwise i just see see chav's galore descending on Tesco's for cheap Ale, before using this area to drink, urinate and fight in. I suppose the red floor would then hide the pools of blood.

Image

Looking back at the stadium from just beyond this point however is a joy to behold

Now onto the bridgework

From the Tesco's you can see the ramp and preparations underway to lift the bridge stanchions into place. This pic also gives a good idea of how close the new stadium will be to the town centre, which can clearly be seen in the background

Image

The footbridge rests on the back of a lorry, while Mr and Mrs Gruntfuttock are snapping away

Image

The bridge supports look like a giant set of ribs, lets hope they help breath new life into the town centre of St.Helens.

Image

close up of the footbridge, magnificently resplendent in red and white.

Image

Image

Bridge works ongoing

Image

Image


Finally i must end with a brief snagging report

This lamp post seems somewhat worse for wear, missing not only a lamp but being bent and buckled

Image

Image


I noticed while looking inside that there is exposed wiring still were electrical sockets have not been fitted.
Some of the white walkway also looks of poor quality as well.

Worst of all though was this abomination

Image

Just look at it. How dare such an affront to Saints be placed close to the main entrance. Have people not learned from when Pilks hoisted the pie petard on one of their chimneys. Get this repainted at once.
