Strong rumours that it'll be Widnes around the Christmas period.

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.

[/quote]

Another classic:

[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.

Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.

Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666

0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".

Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

There are many more of the stadium by lightbox on this link (over 50 pics)

http://lightboxuk.photoshelter.com/gall ... xQKftYPls/

Lets just say i think Saints ground wont just be the best club rugby stadium of either code in the UK, it will be one of the best sports stadiums in the UK period. It might not have the size of some of the bigger soccer grounds but its looking like it will have the style and class that most of them lack.

Its also good to see that the pitch is now going in. You can see were the drains have been laid and how they are now putting the sand over the top of the drains.

The new Saints stadium reminds me of the Emirates stadium were Arsenal play at. Its almost like its kid brother

At its narrowest point its a pretty tight fit, however its still wide enough to drive a lorry through.

Here by the way are the second set of St. Pete's insider pics

These first two show how close the stadium and Tescos are at the nearest point

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sun Jun 05, 2011 11:14 am  
Some pictures i took on Friday when it was sunny

The view an old Rogue will probably have when he looks out of his bedroom window in Billinge

Image

There was a steady procession of wagons dumping soil on the site near the East stand

Image

The East stand, away terrace, with lots of work ongoing on the surrounding land to level and raise it.

Image

The bloke in the chairs job was to sit in the sun/or shade all day and sort out any traffic jams. Hope he had some factor 50 sun cream.
Image

South stand, note the blue crane on the left pouring concrete onto the upper TV gantry floor

Image

They were rolling and flattening the soil under the East stand, possibly in preparation for pouring the concrete floor

Image

The steelwork on the corner of North and East stand is now complete

Image

This is the north stand, and you can see them raising the level of the ground were the rolling machine is.
The stone filled mesh boxes acting as a retaining wall are called gabions.

Image

Brickies hard at work building the walls of the stands

Image

The steelwork between the corner of the west and North stand has also been completed.
Note the absence of cross braises on this corner. This to me gives a good indication that the big screen scoreboard will be fitted to the corner of the East and North stands

Image

Now onto page 2

Looking at the West, home terrace you can see that the brickies have been hard at work, with the walls now being quite high.
Although not visible on my pics, if you look at the aerial photos, you can see that the concrete floor has been laid on the west stand.
You can also see that while it is quite narrow between Tescos and Saints, its still wide enough to drive cement mixers through the gap.

Image

Close up of the brickwork done on the west stand.
Look how cavernous this stand is, the transit van in the picture could drive down the gap between just one set of columns. Ive also looked at pics of Warrington stadium construction on the http://www.mywarrington.me.uk website as a comparison, and you can see how much more space there is in the Saints stadium. At Warrington the back of the stand is were the back row of terracing is. Saints on the other hand extends far out from the back of the terrace.

Bulldozing the pitch

Image

This pic shows the loading area of Tescos, with Saints west stand to the left. It also shows that only a small part of the Saints stadium is close to Tescos.

Image

There was lots of work ongoing on the Tesco side on what will be the car park

Image

zooming in we can see the ramp to the new footbridge being built. St.Helens central station is also visible in the background

Image

Another shot of the ramp, with the Tesco car park in the foreground. The black box thing is i believe, a "Soakaway" storm water attenuation tank

Image

Here we see one being maneuvered into position

Image

Image

The Tescos in all its glory

Image

Back onto the stadium, and the roofers were also back at work. A big yellow crane was in place moving the roofing panels onto the stadium roof.

Image

The man in the high tower, a job not for those scared of heights.
