Probably but I think the North can get away with it,If they do the corners at both ends.

When did they change their mind on doing the North, the last plans I saw had the North being done as well

When it was all costed? Who knows. Wasn't the concourse of the North Stand dry for the training session? I seem to remember that the West Stand concourse was wet, especially the corner with the North Stand, and the same for the NE corner too. If they clad the corners along with the two ends then that should result in nobody getting wet. Since exposure to the elements was the reason given by Saints for doing the cladding in the first place then that would sort the problem. I suppose the club won't be cash rich enough to clad a stand just for aesthetic reasons.

Well its still a great stadium and I agree with the clubs priority to do the West Stand Cladding as the main priority

I think it's been a problem thats occured as the stadium build has gone on, the original design was given as a HALO effect, well this clearly hasnt worked, for all the great idea behind it.

So the designers have had to improvise, but I guess money is the key and if the money runs out after the ends are done then so be it. Lets face it, Those of us who have stood in Batley on a cold January night with hailstones pelting down would be happy with and kind of covering never mind a bit of a gap at the back of the stands.....

I'm in the South Stand by the way, nice and warm and draft free.......
