It was something Bondi_Warrior mentioned in an earlier post

It'll look even better with 15 minutes of playing time still on the clock and it's full of Wigan fans going home early in disgust.

thanks for the info guys

We could do with some computer generated lasers installed in the arch. So that ever time we score, it lights up the sky .....TRY

Picked up my season ticket today and took a few snaps.

This is the view of the West stand concourse. As you can see its flooded. If the weather is bad on friday then i recommend people ensure they bring some Wellies or boots.



The North stand was a lot better, just the odd puddle.



I suspect with prevailing winds in the UK coming from the South West, it will be the West terrace that suffers the most re flooded concourses.

They were also taking away the supports for the Bridge today



still work to do though to get the bridge open for Friday, not the least of which is fitting all the lighting



took a sneak peak inside the new cafe bar. Its interesting to note that over the weekend they have removed the doors that linked into the club shop and have built a sealed partition. So you wont be able to walk from the bar into the shop.



Beer drinkers will be dissapointed to note that the ale on sale in this cafe bar consists of the following

Fosters, disgusting fake Australian fizzy pop
Kronenburg strong but fizzy
Robinsons nitro keg.


Saints Gold, this also appears to be nitro keg

Yet another Langtree Park sign has appeared. This time above the police control box. Its as if they are breeding.

Are the puddles on the inside because of the roof damage, cladding or work not finished?

was also chatting to someone who had seen the completed players dressing rooms. He compared them to those at Wembley.

Said every player had their own booth, to put clothes and gear in.

These are Wembleys, by the way

The cafe/bar looks nice, but is there only going to be one till? It'll take an age to get served?

They really need to get something sorted with regards to the flooded concourse areas.

The roof has been fixed. See some of my earlier pics a page or two back.

The perforated and therefore not weather proof cladding has yet to be fitted, but otherwise stadium is pretty much finished.

However the pics show the extent of the lack of weather protection on the concourses for fans. So fingers crossed that the weather is ok for this friday.

=#FF0000As Mr G pointed out the PICTURE thread strayed away from PICTURES again. I've subsequently deleted the posts following the last picture. This will continue to happen whenever the thread wanders.

If you want to enter into a protracted discussion about an aspect of the ground relating to one of the pictures posted please do so by creating a new topic.

Thanks

The forecast is for snow!

had a look in the stadium at the southwest corner, the concourse is 80% covered by the main stand, and is semi-circular, dry as a bone. fantastic.

People moaning about a bit of wind or rain have to remember we used to play in winter and a club over the hills has an A license yet no roof on the away end. I'm sure most people will be very happy with the new stadium and these are just initial snags you sometimes get with new builds

i actually fitted and commissioned these signs

Gale force winds up to 70mph forecast for Thursday. Everything crossed that our great new stadium keeps hold of its roof!

Thanks to El Saints blues for pointing out this picture thats been posted of the actual dressing rooms at Langtree Park. You might have to cock your head to make sense of it failing that merely follow this link yfrog.com/kk55693648j then rotate the picture

cock and head on this site.

A penalty even I couldn't miss.



Have fun on Friday I may even be in the vicinity depending on how our Manchester Christmas works do goes. It'll probably be messy.

Very posh. The players won't know how to cope with all that space and relative comfort! Mind you, the builders could have stuck that pillar somewhere else surely!

Thats the away dressing room by the way. So they need to have something to spoil things a little

Are you going to take some more piccies on Friday?

I think that's there for Fielden to go hiding behind when the going gets tough...

Thats the plan.

May get some HD video taken as well.

Don't forget to leave 10 minutes before the end of the session. (as usual

)

Had a quick look round before tonights event and the shop and cafe bar are looking very classy , couldnt get any pictures but I took this of the footbrosge



and I took a picture from june 2010 and one taken today, spot the difference? , and I dont mean the tree has lost ots leaves



and just to hammer the point home Tesco have now put up a less mispelt version of the parking sign



so be warned

just tape over your plate before you go in then park up and take it off.
