I think it was you who took a picture of a small hole in the roof just after it had been completed. I wonder if this was the same place? It's very probable that the roofers did a poor job, not securing the sections properly. I would imagine now there is going to have to be a wholesale inspection of the roof before anybody will be allowed in there. I wonder if the responsibility for repairs is Langtree's, as the developers who subcontracted the work, or Saints?

What the pictures dont show is how far back the hole as gone, the wind has just peeled back about 5 strips of the roofing up to the main roof supports, as luck would have it the damage is over the concourse not the main stand with all the kitchen's ect underneath.
Could be that health and safety may get involved, that wouldn't be good.

And we thought our maintenance/ H&S nightmares would be over in the new stadium!

Right folks, this thread is for pictures and comments on those pictures ONLY. If you want to debate the many other things regarding the stadium whether that be who built it, who paid for it, the breeds of pigeon sh*tting all over the black cladding or how you can't walk there from the town centre because of your corns and piles, then please do so on another thread, its quite easy to set a new one up - you just use the 'new topic' button on the main page.

Failure to comply will see you removed indefinitely

I went up to the stadium today and there were blokes doing a lot of work on the roof where the bits came off. The area they were working on was quite large. Hopefully the repairs have ensured the thing is truly secure this time!

Fingers crossed! as more winds are forecast Friday and perhaps the weekend.

Good, get all the snagging done now..

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:18 pm  

Off work today, so went to get some piccies

Its pretty impossible not to know what the stadium is called these days. It is plastered with Langtree park everywhere.

The main one at the Kings Corner is readable from the Burger King on the retail park opposite the Tesco's





The St.Helens RFC shield has also appeared around the stadium. It is IMO a very good club logo and adds a further touch of class to the stadium





An absolutely massive club shield adorns the North stand. However it looks as if its a vinyl transfer rather than a three dimensional plastic logo as on the South stand shields.





yet another Langtree park sign, this one being near the scoreboard



I also managed to get some pics of work going on around the stadium.

This first picture shows the cafe bar being fitted out



The club shop and museum is also coming along nicely. you can clearly see the counter in the first pic.

The shuttered areas are were the display cases will be for the museum exhibits, showing off the clubs fabulous heritage.
Nice to see the club not forgetting its past.



The double doors on the left of this pic, lead directly into the cafe bar, so you will be able to buy merchandise then get a pint without going outside.



Some Pie Eaters who were unloading chiller cabinets in the East stand, let me take this photo of the East stand concourse. They thought the stadium looked fantastic, but were worried that some fans may throw bottles and rubbish from the back of the terrace onto the councourses below. This is something that has also crossed my mind in the past as well. Hopefully fans will behave themselves otherwise Saints will need to fit safety netting.



The damaged roof section has also been repaired



I have also noticed the council highways department have fitted permanent LED information boards on the link roads around the town centre. Previously there were temporary ones put up for the bridge work, but it looks like these permanent signs have been fitted as part of traffic management measures on match nights.

New sign posts have also been fitted. This one showing St.Helens tourist attractions caught my eye.



end of part1 , part 2 features bridge piccies
