Shouldn't the slogan on your avatar read "embrace" or is it a play on words that I'm just too thick to spot? Just being picky, sorry mate.

Any chance of some up to date stadium site pictures?

Nothing to update, there has been no change to the site. On the actual area where saints stadium will be, there are still warehouses standing. The only progress anywhere near the site was the building of the bridge over the canal, ironically by a Wigan company.

when will the stadium be completed

when will it be started?

The warehouses will be knocked down by the firm that get's the building contract, at least thats how I read it.
So it should all kick off turn of the year.

which year?

Oh we will have our Stadium, long before then!

I was recently told by a reliable source that our stadium is going to look a lot like the Llanelli Scarlets stadium only bigger (theirs has just under 15k capacity) ... Lots more here too www.scarletfever.org/forum/janua ... 18742.html

It looks like leighs ground but seats in every stand but it would be nice if celtic took a game there next year as they have said there taking one to near/around that part of wales.

On the Totalrl board there's a thread "Wolves the future" 4000 more barmy army. There is a link to a building & construction scribe.
If you go to that link there is a further one about your Saints new stadium.

It says there are six firms who have submitted bids to build the stad. Capacity, Start date, completion date & cost etc. No pics though!

Apologies for not putting in the links, but can't do them, sorry!

Nothing new there

What's this I've heard that Saints have to be out of KR by Oct 2010? The new ground wont be ready by then. Where we gonna play in the first part of 2011 season?

Can this possibly be just a wind up by my mate?

this was the original plan, but i doubt it'll become reality. The developers who are buying KR have had money toubles and will have sites empty all over the country so will be in no mad rush to start building there

Saints fan(?) on the Warrington site reckons its the other way around and if the sale of Knowsley Road doesn't go through by end of 2010 then the developer (Taylor Wimpey) will be able to re-negotiate the price (or I would imagine pull out completely). At best given current land values compared to when the sale was first negotiated this would leave Saints with a couple of million pounds funding hole that in truthcould well mean the new stadium being potentially dead in the water.

I don't claim to have any knowledge of theSaints deal but having long-stop dates in pre-cotract agreements is a given so there may well be some truth in it, plus can't beat a bit of doom-mongering at the expense of Saints.

love it.

lol

the deal is fixed though, saints will be out on time, even if we're playing somewhere else for a few months

If there is a problem with KR. My answer is simple.

Get 8000 fans to put in £1000 each. That gives £8m. Wait till the price of land goes up and sell it. Admittedly there will be some admin costs but as true Saints fans we would be doing it to move the club on, not for selfish gain.

It's not square/rectangular. And I don't think there are any standing areas.

You couldn't trust a Saints fan with your money for a NZ All Gold shirt now you're all going to shove a grand in each.

The naievity of some people amazes me.

Who said "Giving it to a Saints fan"?

Wow! Welcome to 2008!

Should imagine the majority of opposition fans want the development to fail, then they can have there annual gripe about the existing stadium not fit for superleague.

Do you really think all the Saints die-hards have a spare £1,000 to give away, albeit temporarily?
