Are you sure? Earlier someone suggested the dug outs and tunnel had been ripped up, but they are still intact.

That's what I was told by the groundsman the other week. He's usually in the Connie Club of a Saturday evening so if I nip in I will ask him.

I nipped down the other day, and despite notices of guard dog patrols all seemed quiet, took a few pictures as well through the various cracks and holes around the perimeter, so no trespassing needed! Looked exactly the same, and as far as I could see from my limited view the tunnel was still there. Will upload later when I'm on the laptop.
The gate they've put up on Priory Street near snookers was open yesterday when I glimpsed down whilst stuck in traffic on Wilderspool Causeway, so maybe there's going to be something happening soon.

The other week? They were definitely intact last Saturday.

Went down to say my final goodbyes this morning before setting off to Bratfurt,not a soul about so had a good wander around inside and out.most of the place is still intact so can't see why the club can't have a leaving 'do' think Morrisseys been in though cos the scoreboards half gone, got some cracking pics and had a tearful moment stood on windy corner, if you want to get in just head for the railway end and follow the trail.

I was in there yesterday afternoon then wandered over to the 'Quarter Bar' on Springfield Street for a party. We somehow ended up with a bottle of JD to our table. Needless to say today has been a struggle!

I think he was referring to gutting it inside.

Don't think there is much to report regarding the demolition, though according to the article below the pitch is starting to come up: http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... mmentsList

I believe there are a number of urns containing supporters ashes at either end. I wonder what will happen to them.
