    Sorry I thought it was a different link that had been posted, still though the point remains. Cladding is no longer an issue to be worried about

    Phew! Thought i was going nuts then. Its only really the people who cant be bothered to read all the posts since their last visit.

    Someone mentioned before aswell that all the expensive steel will be covered with the new coat. Looking at the plans it will be flush to the steel and block work.

    dont know if this has been pointed out, if so sorry, but there aint no seats in the east stand. if you have your stands mixed up and mean the north stand, wet left of the letter A would suggest a bigger problem than I foresaw, but anyway it will be made good.

    If it was down to the silent majority we would have still been getting our cladded stadium without about 30 pages or whinging.

    As was posted by Saints representative in July the stadium would be fully cladded by the start of the new season, and that is occuring, its not rocket science its already posted

    So Saints said it would be done and it is, before and of the pap was posted

    Do you mean the North stand? There's no seats or letter 'A' in the East stand.

    Sorry, just noticed you've already answered this.

    Metal shutters on the turnstiles are looking impenetrable. Those losers on the urban tresspassing forums will find it harder to break in now. Well they will once the cladding goes on after Christmas. I just hope Saints are investing in proper security measures in the intervening period.

    Been for a nosey around Salford's ground today, looking very impressive. Saw some leaflets about their season ticket prices.

    £50 for adults, £20 for 13-16 year olds and free for the Under 12s. Unbelievable value. If they can't get a good crowd with those offers, they never will.

    As many are doing went for a wander round the stadium whilst I was off today - unbelievably got an impropmtu tour inside and didn't have a camera!!

    Was talking to the chap whose company are laying the fancy red glass bits. They are from Cirencester and apparantly have imported the stuff from France and it is rather expensive. He was telling me it had to be sieved and dyed etc hence the cost I suppose. Looks very impressive when the sun hits it, especially the strip next to Tescos at the top which they were laying today. He thought it was simply to add colour and blend in with the red of the stadium.

    As has been mentioned roller shutters now down on the turnstyles - look impressive

    One negative - Pigeons are making a right mess on the black cladding at the top and then onto the floor below - get the falcons in!

    Control room is going to be very high tech by the look, they were just getting ready to install the flat screen monitors - bloke from Barr was saying they can monitor all the turnstyles. Should be a good feather in the cap for holding big games

    Saw one function room the one on the left (2nd floor) - bit smaller that I imagined, but great view of the pitch and very posh toilets, showed us in one of the boxes too.

    Glanced at changing rooms from the corridor outside - impressive size. Walked out of the tunnel - and noticed the padding on the corporate seats

    Well worth a walk down to have a wander round the outside - you cant appreciate the scale until you do. Great day!

    Think you might need to read it again,Salford fans are complaining about how confuseing the brochure/leaflet Is. I think those prices are for some sort of membership.

    I had cause to visit Whiston Hospital last February, around 3am in the morning: the hawk man was outside A&E shining a big lamp on the various pigeon hideouts so the hawk could cause complete havoc with the flying rats.
