The View from the stands
The West terrace
view of the South stand from the East stand at pitch level
The scoreboard in the North East corner, as viewed from the East Terrace. The big screen will be fitted below it. The scoreboard is IMO the worst part of the new ground. Its like a throwback to the one at Knowsley road. The clock above seems to be running on British summer time rather than GMT
A higher level view from the East terrace. Note how wet it is at the front of this terrace. This will probably be the norm when it rains as prevailing winds tend to come from the South West and therefore are likely to impact the East terrace. It should therefore remind away fans of the Eddington end at Knowsley road with them scurrying to the back of the stand once a heavy shower hit.

A magnificent pitch. Remember this is after the players have spent an hour training on it, and despite a couple of days of horrendous weather.
In the foreground you can also see the artificial turf which is a darker shade of green, and which surrounds the pitch perimeter.
finally the walk home across the bridge
