| My brother (who knows about these things and had to wade through, as he describes it, "a duck pond" in the North stand) claims that they've used indoor building techniques on the flooring for a fundamentally outdoor structure, leading to uneven flooring (which is apparently fine and very common when building indoors) with nowhere for anything to drain resulting in the enormous pools of water reported. He doesn't reckon it'll be too big a deal to sort out but was most unimpressed by the competencies of those involved.
FWIW I was sat in the South stand and had no such worries - the seats were a bit tight widthwise for my plus-sized frame (although I'm spoiled by Stadium:MK's magnificent seats these days) but legroom was fine thankfully. The burgers were absolutely divine (although curiously lacking in cheese) although I could physically feel my lifeforce draining away in the 15 minute queue I had to endure to get to them. Number 1 priority MUST be for Saints to sort out the bozos lumbering around behind the counters or I shall be eating at BK or Maccies beforehand in future.
Was most impressed by the speed of getting out of the place contrary to some's experiences too - we left on the hooter, used the wide path and not the Tesco ratrun and got over the bridge without the slightest hitch or holdup. Also encountered absolutely no traffic holdups getting out of the old Tesco carpark and heading off to Tatty Heath at all either.
And WTF was the point of the 2 (no doubt very expensive) "Britains Got Talent" dancers before the game? Just utterly awful...

| I am done with this arguement some things need fixing which I am sure will be fixed ,but the majority of the stadium is out of this world and comparing now to when we were a few hours from going under , well be thankful is all I can say , thats my last word on the subject moan amongst yourselves for now.

So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away:5002.jpg |

| The south stand was excellent - bone dry, plenty of room on the seat, no water in the concourse, able to get served both at pre match and half time and even got to use the loo's (well all of that Saints Gold had to go sowewhere)
Some people dont know when they have got it good

| Managed to get my season ticket seat for the Widnes Game half way up on J row. Thinking of getting one of those sheepskin car covers for a VW golf, should fit a treat for matches in wintry weather.
