    It reminds me of a 'mini' look Emirates stadium from above with the roof shape - it looks even better from the air!

    It puts it into perspective how big the Tesco is, it's massive!

    I saw the helicopter overhead on wednesday, I thought it would be taking pictures. Today has been a hive of activity, was watching in my dinner hour. They were putting concrete on the top floor and smoothing it out, while the roofers were hard at it . The big crane returned placing more roofing panels on the top of the stadium.
    Great pictures it's nice to see what the west stand looks like, you can't really see it from the ground because it's well inside the compound.
    don't forget your darkest hour is only 60 minutes long

    I watched the big crane pack itself away last night, amazing piece of machinery

    I think one of the photos was used for the St Helens first magazine.

    I am only guessing but the brown stripes could be something to do with the drainage.

    All the photos posted so far have been greatly appreciated but these really are something else! They give you a full idea on the scale of the thing and also shows the curve in full.

    I only confirms what i've thought all along, that we will have the best purpose built rugby league stadium in the league by some distance.

    The guy is obviously well connected doing the ACC official photographer and has won national awards before. Maybe we should sign him up as official club aerial snapper?

    Think you should make that the best purpose built club rugby stadium in England. Period (As the Yanks would say)

    only the stoop, the stadium in the roundabout at leicester and franklins gardens of any real note in union...unless im missing one. Leicester is an odd stadium, mix of old and new. Franklins Gardens is a nice place, will be a cracker if they get the money to knock down the pavillion end and build a stand rather than boxes...so yes the new place probably will be the best one

    IIRC only Gloucester, Leicester and Northampton play in their own stadia,

    Bath's could technically be called their own but I'm sure its owned by the council

    The (W) Rec is owned by the people of Bath.

    Exeter's is brand new built specially for their Premiership ambitions.

    And Worcester have their own stadium, slap bang next to the M5 - looks like it was modern in 1975.

    Could have sworn they were promoted - or doesn't that count until the first day of the new season?

    And more to the point, we'll finally get a decent Asda 'round here if that happens instead of having to schlep up MK's.

    The CAT Stand at Welford Road is a thing of stadia beauty. Plans are in place to do the similar on the Crumbie Terrace.

    I miss the old Next Stand, however.

    Haven't Newcastle Falcons got their own ground as well? That just leaves London Irish, Wasps, Saracens, Leeds and Sale that ground share.
