I think the fact they brought it up again shows their intent. If they wanted to ignore the issue so it would go away, putting it across the front page of the website ain't going to do that.

Whether the statement says anything new is debatable but it's only picking at slight differences, whether you think it's an update a refresh, a lastest state of play in the end I think we all agree that cladding is required.

I would suggest that the club has put this out because they have been asked about it. If someone asks you a question there are 3 options, say nothing, say the truth, say a lie.

Did mcManus rob your house or beat you up or something. You do post the biggest load of GONADS I have ever read.

Well what a load of cock, there is no impact this year barring the first year glory hunters, we're already well past many peoples expectations for this season, without even putting the cladding issue into the mix, which for 99% of the Saints isn't that much of an issue, would be nice to have, just like have the donuts in the catering stands is a nice to have, but not really gonna be of impact if not stocked.

...... glory hunters?

May need rephrasing that comment.

Glory "hunters" doesn't mean they are going to get any

The fact our crowds are up and our season ticket sales are sky high compared to when we was at KR shows it did matter.

I was one of the first people to go in the stadium as it was being built. First thing I saw was how open it was and remember thinking how wet people will get.

It shouid have been done from the start, its disappointing that we need things fixing and the stadium is only 12 month old.

Then don't read what I write, since you are entirely unable to respond at the level of adult anyway.

I tried that but as your drivel is quoted and sneered at by just about everybody on here it was a complete waste of time hiding you.

I think that's the crux of it. Whoever agreed to the original plans was clearly mental. Did they think we resided in Tenerife? It always rains over here and a soaking concourse in 3 stands of a brand new stadium is unacceptable.

It's good that Saints have realised it's a problem and are trying to resolve the issue, but if the engineers deem that we can't clad the stadium, then we've royally fecked up agreeing to the original design.

Find it amazing when someone does not agree that it is "Drivel" I always thought a Forum was about opinions not just patting each other on the back, and it is not just here!

IF it is found cladding can't be added to the ground then it is one big mistake and mess! after spending so much money, shame like many RL grounds money was not spent on Knowsley Road when the Sky era started.

I stand by my suggestion that it was removed as a cost saving measure. It's clearly possible as there are stadiums almost identical to ours which do have cladding, I've been to Rotherham's and that is spookily similar to ours and is fully clad. Saints now can't afford to add it and so are trying to persuade someone else to do it for them.
