The only major negative for me (apart from catering, which I didn't experience but probably will at the Salford match) was the lack of cladding. Not only does it look poor aesthetically, but it means the elements will always get the better of us. My first experience of entering Langtree Park was standing in a puddle, being blown by the wind, looking for the toilets.

What does the future hold in regards to cladding? I know during the building we were told that they stadium would be FULLY cladded - now i'm hearing that its only going to be partially cladded.....and when will the work to clad further take place? Do we know the answer to these questions or is it just speculation at the moment? In my opinion this needs to be addressed sooner rather than later (although I take on board Saintfan's comments that its not something that can be fixed overnight).



Does anyone know the latest definitive news on the cladding e.g. when and where?

I wasn't ankle deep or inch deep but that don't matter, it's slippery and danerous, in fact, the shouldnt be any water on that type of finish of concrete.

The south west stand of the west stand was jam packed and well over crowded because everyone knew if you stand in the north west side of the west stand you'll get wet!

We did not get wet in the north west side of the west stand. It was not even that windy.

It was the north west part of the north stand that got the brunt of it. I was sat there unfortunately and it was very wet and windy. Didn't bother me too much though, it's January, I expect to be wet and cold.

Yes. I was watching the empty seats blowing in the wind from my snug space in the West Stand! Must have been perishing sitting there. The edge wall needs to be a few feet higher to protect you!

Sorry mate but it's partly true, im not saying some didn't just go to the nearest spec but lets be honest, it's a known fact with saints fans that the north west side of the west stand gets wet if raining and it's windy.

Most people I know said they wanted to get in early to avoid the north west corner.

As much as you keep telling yourself it don't a problem, it is a problem.

Even players I know when they have been round the stadium or trained on the pitch have said the are parts that get drenched!

Thank god im in the dry posh south stand

Ive not bagged saints about the problems at the new stadium, I've put my view forward abs stated that most of the problems are easily fixed. The PA system, the bar staff are only teething problems. The only main concern IMO is the water on the stands and in the stadium.

I am done with this arguement some things need fixing which I am sure will be fixed ,but the majority of the stadium is out of this world and comparing now to when we were a few hours from going under , well be thankful is all I can say , thats my last word on the subject moan amongst yourselves for now.
