My point?

Well it's pretty clear really, we have improved since the worst coach we've ever had was sacked.

That's a fact!

It's a fair call that we played on the Sunday, I'd forgotten that so only a days difference. But in reality I think we have been looking pretty solid in defence so could not see Bradford holding us for a full match with their open gate style of defence.

Josh Jones and Makinson have unreal potential. So excited by these two.

I think it is to be happy

Is that the same as no real potential? - Un - real

Makinson has been impressing me for a while now but Josh Jones is looking good too. Although the defence was really poor from Bradford, he worked hard and creatively for his third try, making some points out of an error. He's looking pretty good.

Wasn't it wonderful to have a fullback who played with pace and on both sides of the pitch? I love Wello but I am so hoping that Makinson will take over the fullback spot sooner rather than later.

Bradford were terrible, but fair play to your lads, scored some good tries and didnt give our poor attack a chance of a sneaky try.

Makinson looks impressive aswell.

Very poor display from the Bulls but I thought Saints also looked a good side and played some decent Rugby.

Was really looking forward to visiting your new ground left feeling a little underwhelmed to be honest. It's certainly the first time I've stood near the back of a covered stand and still got rained on. Whoever designed that stadium needs sacking! If it could be properly finish then you'll have a stadium to rival the Halliwell Jones etc.

Yup. The West Stand (opposite you guys) was soaked to the back. We could see that the East Stand was the same. That was the worst it has been, although there have been one or two occasions when we have had to negotiate puddles in the concourses. It's been a let down in that respect for us Saints fans too.

Bradford were terrible tonight..no attack.. no defence.. I think the injury list and the stress of the last few months finally caught up with us. Well done to Saints, some nice tries.

Agree regarding the East stand.. spent most of the evening in puddles lol

Don't worry, Shenton's salary is going on perforated cladding.

Yes, come to think of it where is the promised cladding for the end corners?

I presume the club thought we had got over the worst of the weather and would put off the painful cost of (partial) cladding until after the end of this season? With crowds up on what are admittedly speculative projections, why not get started - are the plans for this at least past planning approval?

Feedback from visiting fans seem negative generally due to the openess of the corners and rear of three of the stands -given the exiles games next week, are we in danger of underselling our attractiveness as a venue because we can't get better enclosed?
I've a north stand seat along with puddles in the windy concourse and not chuffed that it all seems to have been shoved under the carpet.
Does anyone have an update?

Sorry to derail thread, but staying reasonably dry and going to a concourse which is reasonably dry is pretty basic.

It wasnt so much when we were standing, I would definately come back. But I think it isnt great queuing for toilets/food in puddles, You have such a lovely stadium & it's a shame the sides havent been sorted because it would be so simple to fix. Dont think i saw a single patch of dry ground tonight.
