yeah, it was rammed afterwards bud. I still say if its nice out they should put tables and chairs outside

The hotel is still there but I think it's a park inn now, very conveniently placed for the stadium.

Ah right fair enough, looks like we'll be standing then.

Some people have yes, either as a freebie or on one of the tours. I'm going to be taking a lookie see in the South Stand on Sunday night when I go to the Van Vollenhoven forum. I'm really looking forward to that (although I'm looking forward to tomorrow night even more!).


The hotel is still there only as has been mentioned it is now called the Park Inn. If you don't mind a short drive (or a long walk) there is also the Premier Inn on the Linkway as you come into the town (it is set back from the road on your right as you approach St Helens).

That won't be allowed due to liquor licensing.

All the best for your new ground's Super League debut. Looking forward to going on GF!

What I would like is for the west stand to have numbers or letters to mark each row on the stairs. This would make it easy to be able to meet friends. Being able to grid the stand.

Hey mate thank you so very much for that really appreciated many thanks.

Liverpool U19 will face Ajax U19 at Langtree Park.

They have progressed a little further today








and a close up bit of the white tiles surrounding the RedVee , I took very high resolution pictures but have to reduce them in size to get on Photobucket , if you out of town Saints let me know what you put on your brick i will blow up that part of the picture and post it for you to see what its like , Ive already spotted Bill Bates our revered historian

The lad running the job , is "blucky" a local lad who played for pilks recs for years , he is also a season ticket holder in the north stand , cracking lad have a chat with him , knows the game inside out and LOVES our new stadium , ask him about the WIgooners who have never been away.

Are they not going to cover the wall at all? Perspex or something? It's just so open to vandalism where it is.

Have they not cladded the sides in yet ? are they going to, if so when ?

There's no rush, it's summer now.

It's a sneaky little tactic by saints but it's typical of saints. When the next rain comes it will all blow up again.

I think saints just hope it will never rain when we are at home.

I can imagine that Saints will try and deflect from it as much as possible and then complete it once the season is over.

I think I read that the roof damage set the project back?

Why not be upfront and say we are leaving it until the end of the season? there is no guarantee what the summer will bring weather wise! this maybe our summer now. Could it be the cost? and they wish to spread what funds are available currently?

Maybe we're doing a Bradford and can't afford cladding?

I hadn't taken a stroll as far as the North stand from the South on match days until last week and was disappointed that I could get no further than the far end of the West stand. Didn't realise they had gates in place, thought it might just be because it was a full house, but the steward told me they had always been in place.

No, they weren't there until after the Salford game. Loads of people moved stands during the game so they decided they needed to put the gates up.

Surely thats pre judging the North stand. What's to prevent the South stand population migrating to the West stand? And before you say it I'm not suggesting further restriction of movement.

People tried to get into the North Stand in the early games (rather than the other way round) so I presume that's why it's blocked off. I did think all stands had been gated.

In regard to the cladding, maybe it isn't a priority issue at the moment? Maybe the only people moaning about it to the club are about 20 people on here and Redvee? Plenty people got wet at KR, and continue to get wet at many other grounds.

They could sell those rain macs that you get at American theme parks, make a bit of cash whilst they're at it?

Even if the cladding is sorted I fear that if you get really wet and windy weather then the first ten rows or so will get wet as witnessed in the first open night on 9th December. Unavoidable unfortunately and seems to happen at most modern stadia.

That happened at Knowsley Road too. It's called having no roof over the pitch!
