That's great but I shall just be relieved when it's finally completed! The length of time it is taking is making me a tad nervous.

I must go on record and congratulate you on your new stadium. It really is superb and I look forward to visiting next season. The HJ is ok for what it is but LP seems a good few notches up from that and certainly generates a feel good factor.

What is it with the one end of the stadium? that they seem to keep making progress but not touch that.

This was the last photo I saw by chairmaker (Thanks) on 19 November and one end seems to be open as shown road side near the Langtree Park entrance and the wall with name and logo on.



Thanks

Planning was only passed the other week for this end to be finished, will be ongoing into the start of the season most likely, but it will be done.

Yes I understood extra planning permission had been sought Sadfish, but was that just for the extension at the top which was intended to be open for air to flow through?

No. Apparently the type of cladding around the to be fitted around remainder of the stadium is going to be of a perforated kind, allowing a breeze through (so taking away wind resistence pressure) but not the rain. Some of it will reach the roof while at other places it won't. There is a plan of the proposed cladding somewhere, perhaps earlier on in this thread. The plans were passed but with conditions which probably means the stadium won't be finished by the start of the new season, alas. But ultimately it isn't going to be open as it is at present.

talking to someone who should know, he said things were delaying the start of the cladding fitting, at this stage it can only be the conditions attached, he said it was touch and go wether it will be ready for the first game. wether he meant first league game of friendly, dont know.
