In all seriousness. The problem with Knowley road is that you can turn up 2 minutes before the game pay on the turnstile shove your way into the middle of the popular stand and have as good a view as someone who bought a ticket in advance or has a season ticket.
I believe in order to get better crowds Saints need to encourage a culture of advance ticket buying. This will give Saints advanced income from games and allow them to sell out popular sections of the ground in advanced. This would therefore encourage more fans to have season tickets etc etc.
I am sure a lot of people like the idea of being able to deside on the day of the match if they are going to the match or not (and still get a good spec). But as someone who wants the club to be successful I want this to happen. Therefore (IMO) the stadium needs to have full seating on the sides as a minimum.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

to get back to the subject of this thread , I hadn`t intended to post any new pictures but we were down there earlier on today so I snapped a couple with my mobile as you can see , one side of the site is almost clear , this is the part called phase 2
Have a nice New Year and hope to have some pictures in the spring when they start demolishing the warehouses

Whilst I appreciate the proud traditions of the majority of the rugby league clubs the time has come to put some traditions to bed. In the present economic climate, job losses, pay cuts/freeze, job sharing etc, do you not think that a joint venture with a nearby club that is basically homeless at this moment n time would be good idea? The painting of the stadium wouldn't be a problem, both the same! Only three and a half miles for both sets of fans to travel! Half the cost to both clubs and the chance of possibly a third or fourth club in another sport moving in as tenants! Give it some thought it may well work, especially after the rumours doing the rounds with regard to your proposed new ground being put on the back burner. It wouldm`t work over here in Hull cos we really hate each other but then ours is the only true derby. Oh, by the way, Happy new year to you all lol
Great we have a back burner, didn't see that in the plans.
Wimpeys have just withdrawn their stock from trading on the stck market today. Share price went down to 15p (it was up near 9 quid at one time). Possibly the first stage before full bankruptcy. It doesn't look hopeful for the sale of KR if they go under.
A bit more news from today on TW

I would just like to say
we have to trust what Mr McManus tells us , as , at the end of the day , none of us have any real idea what is going on and all this is just speculation , Rumour and Guesswork , keep the faith fellas !

Do you really think not mentioning Wimpey's publicly recorded financial troubles will make them go away?
As for what Mcmanus tells us... he said Wimpeys are buying the land and the contract is firm. Great, except there are developments with Wimpeys on public record. You don't like that, I don't like that, but not mentioning it wont make it go away.
No of course not ,
my point is that we can`t affect it in any way and all the negative posts on here make it sound like nobody wants the Stadium to succeed , the only bit of real news I have seen on here is that news link , and this thread which was started to give fans a chance to see the site seems to have degenerated into spreading rumour and certain "fans" of other teams trying to troll ,

That seemed to be discussion of the actual stadium itself rather than "I heard....." or suchabody is going bust etc

Any contamination will be where the site has been cleared, I cant remember anything other than warehouses where the stadium is going to be built.
Fab photos. But looking at the site now, it's so hard to imagine a shiny new stadium being there instead!
Is there an asbestos issue with the chimneys and the building?
I see one of the chimneys went in the last few days.
Looks shyt
I would imagine all the chimneys built from that era would contain asbestos, and I don't believe for one moment they didn't anticpate this when the project was drawn up.
asbestos is a harmless fibre in situ, problems only arise if the fibres in the asbestos become single airborne particles, this happens when asbestos is damaged.
asbestos can be coated with a substance similar to wallpaper paste, it can then be carefully broken up and disposed of. the asbestos removal firm we use charges around £700 per day for safe removal of any amount they can in that time.
