The number 27 has been well placed.

No rent books?

Well I understand that every entrance to the away terrace is numbered 75 ,,cant think why , can you?


However as usual we are wandering way off topic , to get the stadium signed off i assume the graffiti about "wigun r ace" will have to be removed from all the walls ,

its looking really impressive and without doubt will be one of the best RL purpose built stadium in the country.

Off work today getting car serviced so had another nosey at the stadium.

They have now roofed the whole of the south stand, bar two sections which i suspect are for heavy plant and machinery eg Air conditioning systems to be lowered into.

Also the sanding, pitch side is now past the half way stage.

The concourse floor in the East stand has also been leveled and sanded, ready for the concrete floor to be poured

They appeared to be pouring concrete on the ground floor of the south stand.

Have you seen the 'onsite' page on Saints website? Saints are going to keep fans updated with photos as the stadium starts to become enclosed, which I'm really glad about as I was wondering what we would all do once Chairmaker and the Gruntfuttocks et al couldn't sneak a peak anymore!

The photos over the months we have watched the stadium rise from the wreckage of our industrial past have been tremendous and I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who has posted photos on here. There have been many times when looking at them has really cheered me up!

When I was on site last week talking to the gateman/grounds man, he said that his bosses was going mad about some of the pics as they had to have been taken from inside the stadium.

He warned them anyone letting people in for pics will be sacked!

Yeah, but that won't include a representative from the Saints.
