    How dirty does white get though?! Red is by far the best colour

    Is it true that drums have been banned from the new ground?

    We could have regular "Bring a Squeegee and Towel Day"s at the ground coordinated on redvee, with the potential for lots of polls on what type of towel people will be bringing along and what type of detergent they'll be using. I vote for a purple towel from BHS and Tesco's own brand washing-up liquid. It'll be fun.

    Think you could be on to something there...however, seats will be mainly red so it will only be available to the select few...

    Not laughing at all - I'm tempted to wear a paper suit and a respirator every time I go knowing that my seat is usually occupied by a knuckle-scraping chav Widnes type...

    I'm almost certain your not allowed predominantly white seating. As stated above the problems created by not being able to see the ball.

    Slightly off topic but I wonder how much we would be looking at to sponsor the west stand terrace? How good would the REDVEE.net end be!
    If you cut me in half i'd be white with a redvee!

    It's a bargain at:
    East or West Stand Naming Rights
    - 3 year deal
    - 2 tickets to sponsors lounge
    - 1 car park pass
    - Full page programme
    - Perimeter Board
    - Player Appearance
    Total cost = £30k + VAT per annum for 3 years

    but you'll have to squeeze together a bit to fit into the car parking space!

    Worth every penny to buy rights to the away end and call it something like "The Dirty, Cheating Loser Scumbags" stand... If only I were a millionaire...

    Post on RLFANS from Saints Fan who asked staff at the forum tonight re finished look of the stadium. As discussed above North Stand to be cladded, West & East Stand are going to be as is i.e. what you see now is how it's going to be - not clear whether there will be any external cladding over the exterior of the breeze block. Money cited as an issue re this.

    It did also say they do plan to clad the whole stadium but it may not be from the off, minus a 1m area between the roof and the rear of the stand.

    Everything that I've heard suggests that this is true: no drums or musical instruments will be allowed at the New Stadium.

    Agreed - the last thing I expected or wanted was another "stand that only goes three quarters of the way along the touchline cos we ran out of bricks".

    To be fair it was in the plans for all to see...the full cladding of the North Stand is new, the plans only show cladding in the centre.

    If the phased cladding has enabled a higher specification of stadium to be built then it can be justified. With the new revenue streams you would expect the club to be able to finance stadium improvements just as Warrington have.

    The breeze block is the final finish. I ave just seen the planning app amendment. They are also putting roller shutters on all turnstyles for security on non match days. Also the app for the north stand cladding was only put in last week and has a pending status. Maybe this is why it wont be finished on time aswell

    As long as the pitch is playable and we fans can get in to sit or stand as the case maybe, I'm not bothered if the cladding is late going up.
