On the official website someone asked whether season ticket holders will get to see the stadium first.

The response from Saints was that season ticket holders will be invited to an event in December.

What is this exactly? A friendly? Charity game? Or just a 'come have a look around so we can tick a box in a health & safety requirement' type of thing?

Saddened, I would imagine we will find out in December when an invitation drops through our letterboxes!

So.... are we having a boxing day game or not?

You have to have an event with a smaller crowd to get the safety certificate for any new stand/stands, so it'll be the same for a stadium. Probably just have a friendly on boxing day or something similar where season ticket holders can get in for free.

If you doubt this get a sieve and poor water into it while placing said object over your head. If you are right you will remain dry. If you are not you will get a soaking.

What the cladding should do, when combined with the roof overhang and 4 metre wall, is make it less likely that water infiltrates in any significant quantity to the concourses.

I suspect the biggest impact will be psychological as people will feel that they are now indoors.

The proof however will be in [the pudding,] and it will be interesting to see how this innovative solution not only looks but works in real life. If it works well then we may see it used on other new stadium developments.

shoudn't be the proof be in the cladding not pudding C M il'l get me coat COYS

It's scheduled for 9th December.

There'll be 'stuff' going on on the pitch, but not a friendly as far as I know.

More like an open day, with entertainment, as I understand it.

I'd expect nothing less.
