| =#FF0000As the Stadium Site Pictures thread has ceased being a picture thread and developed into a bore-fest, I've split the topic in two. Below are the posts that followed after the last picture to be posted. You can continue your 'debate' here.

McMannuss shareholders meeting address, that's if he bothers to have one this year
"Well we've had to borrow another £6 million to finish the house of straw, (but we got a good rate which I won't disclose )
It got a bit windy and blew the roof off and we can't get a safety certificate, but it's all ours.
We owe the tax man money because we cheated (again) re image rights contracts (more money we need to borrow)"
"Any questions"
Meeting over.
The roof work was done by one of our two new world cup winners, so we sent him home so that nobody would know who he was.

Who cares, he's just a bitter jealous old buffoon whose opinions count for nothing. He's a nobody trying to make himself sound knoweldgeable because he goes to kids games. His "knowledge" has time and time again proved to be absolutely worthless, and he's best ignored.

| On a brighter note, I am really looking forward to visiting your new ground. Looks like they've done a good job. Prepare for the Brigantes invasion at easter.

That was in the north east corner and they fixed that.

Examples please.
I don't mind people having a go (I quite enjoy it) but needs substance.
It wasn't me who said Saints had signed two World Cup Winners.
It was ME who said Saints had overused their image rights payments.
When was the last Saints shareholders meeting.
Saints have had to borrow money to complete the stadium at rates that have NOT been disclosed.
Please feel free to show everyone that I'm wrong.
If I am I'll apologise.

It's true.
Who are these two World Cup Winners?
When you are wrong, and it's quite often you either go into hiding or try the deflection method.
Why were you banned on the other Saints site?

You knew who she meant - Laffranchi and Hohaia, you're just being pedantic because one won the final and the other just played in the final.
Not sure which thread it was in, but if you're trying to convince anyone that your signings are better than ours, then you're a loon! Luauki, Dudson, Flower and some bloke I've never heard of against Hohaia, Laffranchi and Flanagan on paper is a no contest.

| Please can we keep things on topic. Keep this topic for stadium pictures and comments.
I must say the damage to the roof causes a lot of concern. Its only a matter of days before the first public event if indeed that is allowed to take place. Not impressed at all.

No I'm being realistic.
Laffranchi is NOT a World Cup winner, which she claimed.
I've never mentioned the Wigan signings.
Saints have lost four International players and replaced them with a second row who is expected to play prop, Howler who has been given the 6 jersey and has been played at 1 or 9 for the last two years and a Wigan reject who has hardly figured this season at Wests.
But what this has to do with the house of straw I don't know.

| The hole in the roof has been repaired in a fashion, it wont be a perminant fix, they will need to come back and do a proper job.
The work behind KC statue looks to me like its a screen, could be wrong but it looks like a giant lap top screen.
The link road to fingerpost is closed,they have a big crane on site, looks like the bridge is finaly being finished.
lets keep on topic, all the great post about the stadium are being made took look stupid by a couple of recent post's.

| Reading "Nosey Parkers" column (yes I know) in League Weekly today he say's a Saints official tell's him it would cost £5000 a time to let St Helens Town play at LP effectivley ruling out a groundshare.At around 20 plus matches per season that's well over 100k down the drain-can't see Saints being happy coughing up that during the off season.Didn't Saints get Sport England funding due to letting them play at our ground though?

Yes, they did. But they let Town play at KR for free for a decade so perhaps not charging them was a condition of the Sport England money. However, the Sport England money may not be enough to cover the cost of opening the stadium to a competitive match, hence the alleged decision by Saints to refuse Town.
I'm very happy with Town not playing at Langtree Park. It's time the rugby club made a clean break. Town can find somewhere else to play. I'm sure there are plenty of available options for such a small entity.
