Agreed LOVE the fadding in stage by stage bit.

QUALITY

we dont need a new stadium

We need a new centre!

I agree that the pics are great though! Thanks Grunt

Stickied. Anyone feel free to add content etc about the ongoing work.

you are all much too kind..................Except Syd of course

I intend to keep the pictures updated as and when there is something new to show

A+

Great pics. i go past there on the way to work and will also take some pics when it gets a bit lighter

Great pics. Glad to see something re Stadium. Has all the plans now been passed and when does complex start? Hope it's built along the lines of KC so fans don't get that freezing wind-tunnel we all caught hyperthermia from at the JJB. So that Saints and Salford that are moving forward towards new stadia....grannyfan Ciney

Got told tonight that the building work will start late summer.

I can live with that.

Sounds like it might be being delayed then.

Here we go again.





Are you half full or half empty?

Surely that's on time seeing as the site clearance was supposed to start in the first part of 2009. Building work can't start until the ground is cleared and Pilks have a contract on the site up until April.

Tis correct,no dramas there.

Right near my work that. I await the building work now

Is that the picture of the area they use in the Quit Smoking Campaign?

I never knew that the place actually existed.

By the way, those white ear-rings the driver of the Peugeot is wearing seem extreme.

Drink n boredom in the close season does this sort of thing to you.

Ground looks fantastic though.

I particularly like the overall transparency of it all as depicted in those photos.

It's so good you may even think that it wasn't real.

Its one of those magic eye pictures Jack, keep starring at it, you'll see it soon. Honest

Quite the opposite is happening at the JJB. That is disappearing fast right before their eyes!

I hadn`t intended to post any new pictures but we were down there earlier on today so I snapped a couple with my mobile as you can see , one side of the site is almost clear , this is the part called phase 2







Have a nice New Year and hope to have some pictures in the spring when they start demolishing the warehouses

Only the the batch plant left standing now, the chimneys have gone, they have started to knock the batch plant down (thats the grey concrete building), the warehouses wont take long once they are empty.

Just a couple of pictures taken today







and I noticed these grilles on the new block of flats near the transport museum where the bus offices were

I heard a funny story about the biggest of the two chimneys, work to demolish the chimney took longer than expected, when they were ready to knock it down it was 9.30 at night, they couldn't leave it unstable overnight having cut away part of the chimney at the bottom, so they shoved it over with a crane or something like that, it shook the flats at Peasly Cross and the area around shook, the noise sounded like a bomb had gone off.
