Some of the pics i took today prior to the Saints match.

The entrance gatepost has been demolished, along with the wall. These pics also show the south east corner of the stand





Looking towards the North stand, you can again see were the wall has been demolished



The rain didnt stop the men at work. In the background is the rapidly rising North stand



Roof can be seen going on the north stand



looking towards the east stand and what will be the east stand car park



looking towards the West, home terrace, while work is ongoing on the north stand





looking towards the south west corner



The east stand looms large from Peasley cross lane



The pavement near the main entrance has been widened, and also dropped kerbs fitted, with studs to aid the blind and those with partial sight



Tonka roaring past the South stand



The entrance road to the site is lined with blossom, and other trees. These pics also show the roof sweep between south and east stands





The stadium looking more majestic with every week

Absolutely brilliant photos!

One thing I like about going on the Arriva rugby bus to Widnes is that I get to see progress in the flesh, as it were, before each home game and so I arrive at the Stobart thinking that this time next season I'll be standing in that fabulous stadium that seems to be growing at superfast speed.

Part 2 of my pics.

Lots of men at work on the land behind the east stand










The north stand partially obscured behind a mound of dirt



And now not obscured by the mound of dirt



The stadium is an imposing site from the main road. These show the East stand terrace were away fans will go.





Diggers and Tonkas at work





More pics of the imposing South stand

The 2nd part of the pics show the real size of the stadium. It's looking awesome!

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sun May 08, 2011 9:17 am  

Stadium looks awesome from those pictures. Are the corners filled in and which parts are going to be terraced. I seem to remember a bit of debate about this?

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sun May 08, 2011 9:27 am  

It's looking very good.

Any idea when they will start laying the pitch?

The corners are enclosed, yes. Two will have seating in them, one the scoreboard and the other one the big screen. There will be standing behind both sets of sticks (one set of which, in the East Stand, will be the official away end).
