    Yeh it seems a bit bizarre. Apparantly it was scheduled to have been well finished by now but there was a 6 week wait on it - due to lay the last bit tomorrow.

    How does this work - does it have to keep being repeated or do they learn to stay away?

    Just a few observations from my lunch break walk around. I don't think they've surveyed the average size of Saints supporters, because the turnstiles are not very generous. The shutters at the turnstiles need to be part way down on matchdays because the height of the turnstiles means anybody with a bit of energy could easily get over the top of them.
    Leaving work in the dark tonight revealed the reception desk with it's illuminated Saints logo on the front. Very Classy

    From what I gather, cameras will be focused on the turnstiles and will alert those in the control room if anyone tries to gain access without a ticket
    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.

    Think they have to do it a few times at first, then on a regular basis after that but as stated, the pigeons won't stick around if they think there's a Harris Hawk living locally. I'm curious what the Peregrine Falcons on the gas tower will make of a Harris Hawk on their patch.

    Plus the other thing you gotta think about with the turnstiles and people climbing over is that

    THERE WILL BE PEOPLE IN THE TURNSTILES SO PEOPLE WONT BE ABLE TO JUMP OVER....

    and whether i am right or wrong i assume when the turnstiles close at the end of their shift then the
    roller shutters will come down to basically lock the stadium down just like they did at knowsley road and widnes...
    and the only way in or out will be via the disignated exit & entrances

    You might get some real good pictures now as the decks for the footbridge have arrived and are waiting to be driven on site.
