Glory "hunters" doesn't mean they are going to get any

Did they at KR?

I accept that it's an issue that needs resolving as soon as possible, I'm just not sure it's as easy for the club as some people appear to think it is.

The fact our crowds are up and our season ticket sales are sky high compared to when we was at KR shows it did matter.

I was one of the first people to go in the stadium as it was being built. First thing I saw was how open it was and remember thinking how wet people will get.

It shouid have been done from the start, its disappointing that we need things fixing and the stadium is only 12 month old.

Then don't read what I write, since you are entirely unable to respond at the level of adult anyway.

I tried that but as your drivel is quoted and sneered at by just about everybody on here it was a complete waste of time hiding you.

I think that's the crux of it. Whoever agreed to the original plans was clearly mental. Did they think we resided in Tenerife? It always rains over here and a soaking concourse in 3 stands of a brand new stadium is unacceptable.

It's good that Saints have realised it's a problem and are trying to resolve the issue, but if the engineers deem that we can't clad the stadium, then we've royally fecked up agreeing to the original design.

Find it amazing when someone does not agree that it is "Drivel" I always thought a Forum was about opinions not just patting each other on the back, and it is not just here!

IF it is found cladding can't be added to the ground then it is one big mistake and mess! after spending so much money, shame like many RL grounds money was not spent on Knowsley Road when the Sky era started.

I stand by my suggestion that it was removed as a cost saving measure. It's clearly possible as there are stadiums almost identical to ours which do have cladding, I've been to Rotherham's and that is spookily similar to ours and is fully clad. Saints now can't afford to add it and so are trying to persuade someone else to do it for them.

If it was taken off as a cost cutting measure then the design should have no problems holding the cladding when it is put back on????

There is a whole debate on flags from fans causing too much wind resistance because of the design.

That's my point, the excuse about wind resistance is just that, an excuse to kick it into the long grass.
