I did work on the LSV i'll have you know.


Its not just stadium's which adopt this method but any big structures like the Beetham tower in manchester or the M.E.N arena. Or the most impressive of all hong kong airport which involved extending the coastline and abit dfferently but same idea had giant steel pillers bolted to the sea bed which included a man made island constructed on top of it, Which was the actual base for the new airport.

Engineering has come so far over the last hundred years.

I think RedJohn worked on Offa's dyke




or it might have been Stonehenge

These pen pushers ah, don't have a jar of glue.

You sure ? when my estate was built there was a massive rig on site to install the piles, (thats for houses) now all I've seen is the land being leveled. You'd hear and see piling on a site like that from quite a long way off.

It was Stonehenge. And all the way through we had this nutter called Starbugge running up every day telling us it was all a con to trick UNESCO (whatever that was) into making it a World Heritage Site, and how it was never going to get built.

That will have fallen down by the time you get your place built , Anybody want a bet on it being usable before May 2012 ?

I'll have you a bet right here right now you dirty little bug!

Boing!!!! As if by magic, Starbug appeared.

There should be a webcam on site so everyone can see the progress without risking crashing while going over the Barton Bridge



A bit like the ones they have for the Olympic site.

There is one , but because nothing was changing they thought it was broke and they turned it off

There is one already on or near site, its called a "Starbug"

Has the building started yet? I'm getting bored with my signature

I've not been near for months , that's why I keep asking how its going ?

The snow's slowing things down at the moment...

Surely the newest stadium in rugby league was The Racecourse Ground in 2010?

The stadium is recognised as the world's oldest international football stadium, and it's only in rugby league because the crusaders moved in with wrexham fc in 2010

It is still, technically, the newest stadium to be in rugby league.

A few lessons need to be learned from Leigh's stadium management shambles yesterday. The food kiosk was crap. Halfway through the first-half they couldn't keep up with food orders. Ordering grub was a lucky dip. No onions or condiments were available for hot dogs and burgers, leaving the former feeling like you were eating a dry-wall butty. The cash turnstile operators had about two pounds worth of change on them, thus holding the queue up past kick-off. And the stadium bar (legends bar) had hardly anyone in it after the match; it was dead. I hazard a guess because the drinks were almost double what the surrounding pubs charge.

Remember kids, a crap ground with a good customer experience beats a nice ground with a crap customer experience every day of the week.

What about Oldham's Whitebank Stadium? Didn't they move in to it part way in to the 2010 season?

No idea. Plus, there's also Bramall Lane.

Nah, Bramall Lane was used by Sheffield Eagles years ago on a fairly regular basis. Oldham will have moved to Whitebank about April-ish.

Welcome to your future
