I've never met a bigger bunch of doom and gloom merchants in my entire life as I have come across on this board/thread. Once work has started it will be up in a flash when they start to bring in the ready made pieces. While the ground is being prepared these pieces will be being made. It is surprising how quick the actual structure will be. The inside of the stadium will take the longest but by then all the fans will know that the building work is well under way.

I think it's skepticism rather than doom and gloom. Bearing in mind there has been talk about a new stadium at Saints for what? 30 years? And we're still in Knowsley Road. I think many fans (most fans?) will only believe it when they actually see it, simply because there has been so much talk for so long. On top of that we've recently had a major recession and as others have said, Saints have promised big but delivered nothing of late, which offers justification for fans who feel skeptical.

Ok just to confuse everybody here is Sundays update ...........................on Monday















as you can see the road layout is starting to take shape, and as was mentioned on here before, the warehouses have been boarded up and fenced off

Has something happened during the week? I'm trying to spot the differences ...

(Is there a prize for that?)

Some sort of work has started on the footbridge over the link road, there is a crew there this morning drilling.

its mainly the road infrastructure that is growing also :

My Wife went up earlier to get some pictures of people working to put al your minds at rest , and they were all on break !!! , as she was stood there in the pouring rain with nothing to photograph , a nice young man came up and started chatting, seems he was one of the guys from Birse, apparently they are 6 weeks AHEAD of shedule and they estimaate they will be done by the end of Oct , they plan to start laying tarmac in the next couple of weeks , snd the street lighting shortly after that ,so that is good news , he had no idea when the builders where actually going in , and there are a pair of kestrels nesting in the corner of the site, so they cannot disturb them till the eggs have hatched, might be a delay there, but all in all sounds good.
