Oh, it'll disperse alright just as it disperses at the moment - right through the bones of the fans!

£ think we may gue$$.

Cracking to see the plans to clad the stadium improved upon with full cladding.

Nice to see the two corners stay open as this will let air onto the pitch which not only helps the grass to grow but on those rare warm summer days, makes it less stifling for the players.

I also note on the plans that these open corners are clad down the sides of the seating and terracing, so that fans are given shelter from any wind or rain blowing in through the gaps.

The stadium will look and feel somewhat different by the end of the season.
Acoustically it will change for fans mulling around the concourses, i suspect the cavernous north stand may echo somewhat when sealed in. The east and west concourses will probably feel somewhat claustrophobic and stuffy on a hot summers day. Conversely in the cold weather it will offer some respite from the external elements. Though i think many moaners will be disappointed that the cladding wont magically make a cold night, warm.
Aesthetically the stadium will look complete, and will start to have the look of a top quality stadium rather than a ground with one superb stand and three works in progress.

Just have to wonder what fans will moan about re the ground when its complete?

The team playing in it perhaps

Apparently they were unable to clad the corners because of structural issues.

Warringtons stadium is open at 2 corners, wigans and huddersfield and salford and many others open at 4!!

We could gold plate it and put cushions on all the seats and some people would still moan.

How thick would the cushions be?

Nice big comfy ones with heaters in them, after all our glorious stadium is always wet and cold so we will need them.

Looks like the 021 cladding is also being tweaked, could be wrong.

job done.

as a Greenbank buttie

Ah not heard that for a while

Wondering about the Fire Safety Certificate, are we getting perforated cladding. If not and there is a fire within the escape routes of the concourses we could suffocate much quicker.

The cladding is perforated I believe

Supposed to have started now? How's it going?

We've got to get shut of Meli, TP, Perry and co before we can get it done. The sale of lomax to Wigan should just about cover it.

theres an image on the Saints club site showing an extending platform doing some prepartory work to enable the cladding to be fitted.

might get done now for next season providing we don't buy any new players.

It was posted on Redvee that the drilling and girders will take place over the next month and then the cladding will be fitted. This should be finished by October.

and there I thought you were going to announce they had started today the 4th July!

All the west stand brackets now in place and some east stand, should be some cladding up by end of season

It's too warm for cladding.....

Take it all down lads....

Don't say that or Mr BIG will come after you with a shotgun!!!!!!!

As the Cladding is now going on I thought I would add a few pics I took a couple of hours ago.

West stand showing that there is still quite a bit of the frames to be fitted.









The North West corner of the West Stand has drill holes in the vertical columns for brackets to be fitted to enable the cladding to go on



close up showing the drill holes



East stand showing Brackets.

Note that one of the brackets is different.(2nd one down from the top on the nearest column) This is for the cross bracing which is attached to the back of the actual terracing. Its to give the vertical columns more rigidity to stop them flexing on a windy day.



In this pic you can see one of the brackets for cross bracing attached to the vertical support holding up the terracing, just below the angled support



Finally the north stand showing a bracket



There doesn't appear to be as much of a requirement for cross bracing of the north stand, No doubt due to the fact this stand already has substantial strengthening in the middle of the stand to support the lifts to the disabled viewing platform.
