They've run out of money for the N, T, S

Indeed. They'll have to put some small people next to me as my armrests will be digging into them if they don't.

Odemwingie's trolling aside, this is going to be one of, if not THE, best RL ground in the country. Not as big as KC or DW but purpose built and very classy. I am, as a Wigan fan, slightly jealous of this new stadium.

In that answer, it is the North Stand specifically referred to, which is exactly what I was told. The North Stand will be cladded and should be cladded in time but the club had to re-apply for planning permission to facilitate that due to the requirement for a 1m gap between the cladding and roof. The North Stand was nothing to do with cash. That was the East and West stands, according to the members of staff I spoke to.

I think someone somewhere is losing his rag!

Saints probably need to put out a formal statement about the finish of the stadium just to clear everything up.

I see there is official confirmation of my request for a gold seat. The quote is a tad above what I was anticipating, but I'm sure I'll find it somewhere. Do a bit of ebay selling perhaps.

I think you should write a book, "Saddened's Magnum Opus": Whatever happened to the arm-rests?: The downs and downs (and downs) of being a Saints fan

Why? Were you only expecting silver?

Bonus!

As someone has posted on Redvee no more allocated North stand tickets being advertised.

Excellent!

I can see mine. ( Hope they cover mine up I don't want to sit on a dirty seat. lol

Where are the pics?!

This weeks piccies.



A footpath that can also serve as an emergency vehicle access has been created from the mini roundabout on the Tesco's side of the site. They have also built up what look like dry stone walls, but are probably gabions to separate the Tesco side from the RL side. These walled areas may become popular on sunny days with scallies sitting on them while supping 2 litre bottles of white lightening.



From the Peasley cross side they have been digging up the entrance road ready for relaying the surface



looks like they have come across something they probably didnt expect to find. Are these rails from an ancient railway line to a long forgotten foundry?



Along the front of Peasley cross lane they have started fitting the vehicle crash barriers.





Looking into the stadium and the glass has gone into the PA and police control box



some of the drain pipes have still not been connected up from the roof



Outer cladding is also be put on the sides of the south stand that link to both the East and West terraces





You can see on this shot all the completed blockwork for the North stand



looking at the corner of the North and West stand we can see the completed blockwork, but perhaps more importantly see that floodlights have been fitted above the South stand.
Note also what look like air vents, have been cut from the cladding above the executive box patios



Thes floodlights look large and powerful. I like how they dont all point downwards, the ones that dont, are probably to prevent high towering kicks getting lost in darkness, as is the case in the gloomy underpowered lighting at Widnes.



The builders were also working on the East stand turnstyle block



Finally i managed to get these pics of the seating going into the North stand. Looks nearly complete

Walked down there this afternoon and fgot a few pictures not a lot to see, still but
the east stand car park


soe nice railings along the top



some finishing off along the top of the entrances



a litle piece of the BIG Red Vee in one bloc , it will be huge !!



south stand showing the road works







and what look like railwaiy lines dug up in front of the South Stand Entrance

sorry about that my bandwidth has run out

Useless










Do either of you or Carlos know what image or text the white seats pictured at the end of the North Stand are showing?

Its a red V with a white background. Rest of writing presumably says SAINTS, especially considering we have seen the SAI already.

When did we see the SAI? I must have missed that.

sorted the bandwidth , you should be able to see the pictures now

go back a couple of pages.

I did miss it.

Cool! I had wondered what the club were going to produce in the seat pattern.

I suspect it may have originally been planned to have Saints RL.

However after the agro this caused, they may have decided to change the seat pattern along with the badge.

Young Ell Saints Blues managed to find this from twitter, borrowed from redvee

Not sure if anyone can make it large and clear (CSI Miami style)

Some new ones taken today
