We will be playing at Widnes for 2 full season after this year. Thats what the Saints players have been told to expect.

How do you know this,please explain.

Give over, who ever names their sources on here? If they did and it was a reliable source, they'd never get any info again.

I hope Gruntfuttock has got a big memory card in his camera.

mmm to paraphrase jaws "we need a bigger memory card!!"

Ok , your Sunday fix of pictures and this time you can get a sense of the road layout inside the site

OH I almost forgot

for those of you who cant access the council site to see the pictures of the new bridge to our Stadium , be amazed

It seems to have taken a long time just to put down a few kerb stones!

Phil Kinsella confirmed on Radio Manchester today that:-

- the "i's are being dotted and the ts crossed on the contract'
- 60 week build to (possibly) start in July
- Saints to be in by August 2011

Sorted.

Yea mate and the drains they put under them, also grading and levelling the site, makes you wonder what they have been doing since april doesnt it?

jeez have faith mate , the work is progressing !!

Nah, they've only been doing it a month and a half. And they've had 2 weeks off for Easter.

Oh yea forgot the time off , lazy buggers , should be puttin the tiles on by now

Wiping the dust off the newly installed seats you mean

But, but, but ...

you didn't put up any photos of drains and stuff!



*sigh* Just can't get the staff ...

I am NOT climin down drains, youwill just have to take my word for it !!



anyway i will be proved right after the first big rainfall (when it all floods!!)

Possibly is the word there mate. The contract hasn't been signed yet & even when it is, don't expect things to happen straight away as it takes about 3-4 weeks from contract award to start on site - i.e. the site cabins arrive

Latest info according to the sales lead I have is start Sept 2010, end Sept 2011. "Scheme has been delayed due to site preparation works".

OMG they know what they was expecting before the works started ie knock down the buildings what have been there empty since it shut down several years ago oh well enjoy playing in cheshire for a season.

WRONG!
It was used by Pilks for storage for quite a while, that contract ended and yes, it's now empty but i's have to be dotted and t's have to be crossed in the fine paperwork.
Go back to sleep

Why do you get so worked up? mistakes have been made and I think most people in the town now accept it, it is fact that it is looking like next season will be in Cheshire.

Not only next year but the start of the following

July should see work start on the stadium.

I've never met a bigger bunch of doom and gloom merchants in my entire life as I have come across on this board/thread.

Once work has started it will be up in a flash when they start to bring in the ready made pieces. While the ground is being prepared these pieces will be being made. It is surprising how quick the actual structure will be. The inside of the stadium will take the longest but by then all the fans will know that the building work is well under way.

Its not just this board Agent, its Saints fans in general, many think the stadium is "pie in the sky" how are we going to get a new stadium they say, we have no money.
I point to the fact that its been passed in Council, Tesco are involved Langtree has spent years making it happen, a new Island entrance is now being built on the link road, Regional Government has granted us almost £5 million.
Yet we have grown men saying nah load of rubbish we will end up playing at Widnes for ever.

IMO there has been two much time money and effort expended now for the project to be allowed to fail.
Especially with the legal contracts that have been signed off already.

I think its more a case of frustration at the sloth like progress at present.
This hasnt been helped by Saints over promissing and then under delivering on a massive scale re construction timelines.
Its all helped to support a rather cynical attitude.
