It's a deal!

Aye, but that happened before Saints got the keys.

Yep, that happened a good while ago now and there is now more security on site.

New bridge named. www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/9379 ... aints_Way/

That's great but I shall just be relieved when it's finally completed! The length of time it is taking is making me a tad nervous.

Quote ="roader"New bridge named. www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/9379 ... aints_Way/'" Well, what fantastic news! Please post us a picture, nay a few pictures as soon as you can. I must go on record and congratulate you on your new stadium. It really is superb and I look forward to visiting next season. The HJ is ok for what it is but LP seems a good few notches up from that and certainly generates a feel good factor.

What is it with the one end of the stadium? that they seem to keep making progress but not touch that.

I don't understand? Which end?

This was the last photo I saw by chairmaker (Thanks) on 19 November and one end seems to be open as shown road side near the Langtree Park entrance and the wall with name and logo on.



Thanks

Planning was only passed the other week for this end to be finished, will be ongoing into the start of the season most likely, but it will be done.

Yes I understood extra planning permission had been sought Sadfish, but was that just for the extension at the top which was intended to be open for air to flow through?

No. Apparently the type of cladding around the to be fitted around remainder of the stadium is going to be of a perforated kind, allowing a breeze through (so taking away wind resistence pressure) but not the rain. Some of it will reach the roof while at other places it won't. There is a plan of the proposed cladding somewhere, perhaps earlier on in this thread. The plans were passed but with conditions which probably means the stadium won't be finished by the start of the new season, alas. But ultimately it isn't going to be open as it is at present.

talking to someone who should know, he said things were delaying the start of the cladding fitting, at this stage it can only be the conditions attached, he said it was touch and go wether it will be ready for the first game. wether he meant first league game of friendly, dont know.

We are doing the cladding ourselves.


So expect to see KC, joey Hayes and tommy Martyn on ladders at Langtree park with hammers and nails in the near future.

I went up to the Stadium today and took a few pictures , not a lot new to see

a nice view from Lyons Yard towards the bridge



a view off the footbridge over the link rd





they have mounted frames on the brackets on the SW corner





peasley cross entrance





and finally for the doubters amongst you and the ones arguing about parking on matchdays THIS sign stands next to Tesco`s , (spelling mistakes theirs)



TAKE NOTE

Somebody can't spell.

we also dont have license plates in the UK. We have number plates or vehicle registration plates to be more precise.

A license plate is a licence on a car that says the car is licensed to be driven on the road over a specific period.
In effect its a combined car tax and number plate.

True but people seem to get things wrong sll the time these days grammar and spelling arent great, also I thought myself how early they are putting the sign up , after all we dont play a game until Jan

The first game may be January but the open day is less that two weeks away.

They may be concerned about Saints fans deciding to park on Tesco for the open day.

The sad thing is though that I have yet to see the Tesco car park get full. I was in town on Saturday and considering its the run up to Christmas the car
park was half empty.

I also wonder what time limit Tesco put on parking. If its two hours then last minute larrys can turn up at 19:50 and be off the car park before their time runs out.

According to a post on Redvee the roof has a big hole in it.

I suppose its better that we find that major defect now than once the season has kicked off.

Otherwise we could have a scenario with a game being abandoned which would be very embarrassing.

Nipped to town to get pics of the roofers dodgy workmanship.

Its not a pretty site seeing our wonderful stadium already being torn apart. Now i appreciate it was windy last night, however it does make me wonder what could happen to the stadium if a real storm hit St.Helens.

Only saving grace is its better identifying this major snag now, than on a match day when people could have been injured or killed. Especially those in the West stand.





Was round town yesterday and took a few pics similar to Gruntfuttock.

nice to see the W back on the turnstile signage



not much to report on the bridge other than they have tarmaced the path to it and fit an electrical box presumably for the bridge lighting





i also noticed that in the walk back into town, lamposts have been fitted. Though they are still awaiting the light fittings.



Maybe this could provide alternative transport to the ground, for those moaning about the 10 minute walk from the car parks

says on the sign's that the link road to fingerpost will close 5am tomorrow, must be fitting the hangers back on the bridge.
