I think they will be closed in over time with cash flow coming in. The quality won't be the same as south I expect as nobody will see that side much.

No. Tesco end.
The (Wide To) West Stand
Cheers,I don't know why I got that in my head
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
My Pictures
from PX lane
as you walk up the access road,
they havent started to clad the west end of the south stand yet
what will be the main reception
you can see some internal dors and walls
the red cladding looks reallly nice close up
will look even better with the club badge on it
and the east stand and car park
east stand from PX rd
Pre-Match drinks?
try the George Hotel , George St
St Helens , A real Saints pub
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!
If you cut me in half i'd be white with a redvee!
It's ok mate, even the queen farts
And on the eighth day he created The Saints and he said " Go forth and entertain !"
Ahahahahaha top quote.

I like the idea of that. Nostalgia.

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?

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).
Is that a deliberately added security feature that the opening windows open on to an upright so the will only open so far?!

Seems odd!
Rugby League is a Religion, and I worship the Saints!!
Its a deceptive angle , they dont hit the uprights, (see thats why we cant go to the video for a forward pass!! camera angles)

although the stadium keys are to be handed over in October the fitting out of it will not be finished till Jan I am told

Yup. Ell Saint Blues reported this in the Stadium Watch 5 thread.
My guess is that the internal fixtures and fittings won't be done in time to hold functions.
