Because petrol costs too much so I rode my Giraffe over there to save money and I was showing my support by flying my Saints flag from his neck , Really guys I wish you would keep up!!

(Actually I thought it looked like Beaker from the Muppets)

I'm surprised you can still afford to run a Giraffe with the cost of food nowadays, it makes diesel look cheap. Mine had to go when it got a sore throat, I couldn't afford the Lockets and had to part-ex it for a Llama.

Some pics from today (saturday) when the builders were hard at work

The Stadium, looms even larger in the background, while in the forground are huge concrete man holes and drains waiting to be fitted



The pitch is littered with steelwork waiting to go up





The South West corner of the stadium terracing is now in place



Fitting part of the back wall for the south stand



The south stand steelwork now swoops round to the South west of the stadium.





The east stand is also starting to rise.



Looking through the gap in the East stand towards the West stand you can see that the corner of this terrace looks cut away.



The North stand starts to rise



Note to the left of the picture you can see the first few roof struts for the south stand have been fitted to cover the south stand seats. It wont be long i feel before the roof stretches from South to west

Great photos Chair Maker and the descriptions help to fix on locations. I wonder what is going to happen to the two open corners? I know one will be for the big screen, but I wonder what the other one will be for? I can't remember whether I saw anything on those corners in the plans. I hope they are both covered as well, though, otherwise it will look a bit daft!

Oh yeah! I forgot about the scoreboard! Duh. That would make perfect sense.
