Well, our multi-million pound brand new stadium was terrible tonight. Even the floor in the ladies loos had puddles (and yes, it was rain!). The West Stand was soaked to the back. I really missed standing on the pop side at Knowsley Road tonight when I was always dry under the roof.

The stadium has lots of potential, but it's being held back by the 'C' word unfortunately.

It's becoming a bit of a laughing stock really with visiting fans.

Be a good 5 years before anything is done I'd say...not expecting much!

Like I've said in the past, I doubt the cladding will ever get done and I swear McManus does a prayer for sun every single week.

I felt embarrassed by the stadium last night and it was a very uncomfortable experience being 'inside' it. If the club doesn't do something about protection from the elements soon I can see them losing chances to host big games there and it's quite possible fans will stop turning up. I almost didn't go myself last night due to the conditions there.

God help us if the weather is like that next weekend for the exiles game...although it may force the issuse with the club if it's an embarrassment on a big stage like that

I was front row of south stand and didnt get wet no one complained about rain, wind or stadium, you're all turning into pussies!!!

Like they do at Headingley...oh

Nice word you've used there in the same week a mod has put a sticky up about language being used on this site and posters gettjg around the swear filter.

Maybe you'd like to describe to the young kids that use this site what the phrase "your all turning into pus**es "means.

Not where there are roofs they don't!

And Headingley is a shed. Langtree Park is a multimillion pound brand new stadium ... without any walls (except for the corporates of course!).

It was lethal there last night. Smooth concrete steps which were soaking wet; puddles everywhere; rain blowing in the faces of staff serving coffees, etc. Ludicrous.

It might be a shed but it still doesn't stop them using it for big games

Sadly, as it looks like a shed on the TV too. But at least people would have been dry at the back under the roof even in a strong westerly wind. And no doubt 'inside' the stadium they wouldn't have had to tip toe through puddles to get their drinks.

Thankfully the "kids" will know what it means, you clearly don't.

Probably because the South Stand is cladded....
