talking to someone who should know, he said things were delaying the start of the cladding fitting, at this stage it can only be the conditions attached, he said it was touch and go wether it will be ready for the first game. wether he meant first league game of friendly, dont know.

We are doing the cladding ourselves.


So expect to see KC, joey Hayes and tommy Martyn on ladders at Langtree park with hammers and nails in the near future.

we also dont have license plates in the UK. We have number plates or vehicle registration plates to be more precise.

A license plate is a licence on a car that says the car is licensed to be driven on the road over a specific period.
In effect its a combined car tax and number plate.

True but people seem to get things wrong sll the time these days grammar and spelling arent great, also I thought myself how early they are putting the sign up , after all we dont play a game until Jan

The first game may be January but the open day is less that two weeks away.

They may be concerned about Saints fans deciding to park on Tesco for the open day.

The sad thing is though that I have yet to see the Tesco car park get full. I was in town on Saturday and considering its the run up to Christmas the car
park was half empty.

I also wonder what time limit Tesco put on parking. If its two hours then last minute larrys can turn up at 19:50 and be off the car park before their time runs out.

According to a post on Redvee the roof has a big hole in it.

I suppose its better that we find that major defect now than once the season has kicked off.

Otherwise we could have a scenario with a game being abandoned which would be very embarrassing.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:11 pm  

Nipped to town to get pics of the roofers dodgy workmanship.

Its not a pretty site seeing our wonderful stadium already being torn apart. Now i appreciate it was windy last night, however it does make me wonder what could happen to the stadium if a real storm hit St.Helens.

Only saving grace is its better identifying this major snag now, than on a match day when people could have been injured or killed. Especially those in the West stand.





Was round town yesterday and took a few pics similar to Gruntfuttock.

nice to see the W back on the turnstile signage



not much to report on the bridge other than they have tarmaced the path to it and fit an electrical box presumably for the bridge lighting





i also noticed that in the walk back into town, lamposts have been fitted. Though they are still awaiting the light fittings.



Maybe this could provide alternative transport to the ground, for those moaning about the 10 minute walk from the car parks

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:21 pm  

says on the sign's that the link road to fingerpost will close 5am tomorrow, must be fitting the hangers back on the bridge.
