    So what's the reason for having a lot of them up at Knowsley Road too ?
    KNOWSLEY ROAD 1890-2010. A part of history soon to be no more...the place that meant so much to so many people. Farewell old lady, forever in our hearts.

    Now to the good news, behind the largest of the two building yet to be demolished is parked a large crane, poking out from the other side of the yet to be demolished building piled high are brand new girders, so it looks like Monday target will be met, the girders painted white are about 20 inches wide by about 10ft long, not the very heavy gauge stuff but heavy enough.
    That brick building is the new electricity sub station.
    On the Barr website it states following "Foundations now complete. Brickwork to super structure has started and is progressing well. Precast concrete roof slabs are due in early part of March. Building works progressing on programme."

    Saw a little crane there on Saturday, but thought nothing of it as it looked a lot smaller than the large Ainscough type cranes at Salford.

    There was also some work going on down Warrington road on saturday, as i found out when i decided to take a walk down there and ended up hearing machinery and saw a bloke in hi vis jacket looking at me rather suspiciously from afar.

    Just as they finish putting the girders up the webcams will probably come back on and then we'll all go woooooooooooo! It's disappointing not to be able to see what's going on at such a crucial stage in the build after watching from practically day one.

    Have you not got access to a camera to take photo's - just a thought seeing as you can see with the naked eye what is going from where you are.

    Well done. That's the one we have all been waiting to see - even though it may be the Tesco part. Seems ironic as the new framework begins to go up the old framework on the other site begins to come down.

    I sent an e-mail to the new stadium website before, the e-mails go to Saints. I got a very quick and polite response which said that Barr are aware of the webcam issue and hope to have it fixed shortly.

    Dont know where your looking, but no steelwork has gone up on the stadium yet.
    all I can say that they are throwing it up on Tesco, the difference in the three hours since I was last there is amazing.
