Nope, I think that's pretty much what they'll look like complete. Most people (only us) wont see those faces of the ground.

Some picture I took Yesterday, I must admit it look REALLY good close up , and as for the other stands , as has been mentioned earlier in this thread, now archived, the lower walls are breezeblock effectively which soaks up water, it will be cladded with something,to weatherproof it , it you look at CM`s pics the lift shaft area has the criss crossed bars over it , that is for the external cladding

The Tesco looks identical to the one in Prescot, I suppose they have a bog standard set of drawings for all new builds.
Cant get the video to embed so heres a link to some video i took showing the red cladding being applied, apologies for the wind noise,

Anyone else think that we could put a cross bar between the wide white posts of the main entrance to form a set of rugby posts?
Would be fitting for our stadium!
Way back in 2008 I took a picture from the foot bridge over the link road, here is a "Then" and "NOW" shot, some nice changes eh?

saw it myself for the first time yesterday.... looks fantastic, looks a lot bigger in the flesh
OK, are we to assume that the breezeblock level will be possibly cladded, as will the lift shaft(s), but all above the breezeblock level in the N, E, W stands will be left completely open? I hope not, it will look half-finished and such a huge disappointment compared with the magnificent south stand.
Okay so am I right in thinking, (using this pic)...
Left - West Terrace/Tesco
Far end - East Terrace/PX Lane
Near Side - South
Far Side - North
Screen in the far NE corner?
Scoreboard in the NW corner?

Does anyone know if the outside edge of the roof is going to be cladded to hide the drain pipes and supporting steelwork, or is this the finished look?
I'm not sure how many people would be interested to know this, but I've just heard through work that the new Stadium is no longer planning on hosting any Christmas Party night functions for this year.
If it's true, it's a shame as it would have been a nice money maker pre-season!! (And I wonder what the reasons are behind this decision).
Its a deceptive angle , they dont hit the uprights, (see thats why we cant go to the video for a forward pass!! camera angles) :)
