Funny how there aren't any pictures to put in the cladding edition yet ...

Well if the work hasn't started there wouldn't be, would there!

We really need a sarcasm font.

I don't think Saintsfan has the mental capacity for sarcasm. She likes moaning, therefore I will take everything she says as a moan.

thats amazing!

That would be helpful, thinking of those others on the board who aren't bright enough to spot sarcasm when it slaps them in the face.

I went to the Liverpool vs Milan match on Tues night. Saw a couple of cherry pickers at the back of the ground. Where you walk at the side of tesco and turn left into the car park. I doubt they will have anything to do with adding cladding so close to the start of the season....

Until everybody hopefully forgets about it in the New Year?

Like I've said, it won't get done.

No more updates? Thought not!!

Without reading too much into the silence, I will now do the opposite and theorise that if the cash flow and profits of the business were ahead of those planned then we would already see some plans published about when and where etc. This obviously leads to the conclusion that perhaps it hasn't been as easy as they thought to turn the business round into a profit.

Having said that, I was told at the match on friday by a bloke who says he is in "the know" (nudge nudge wink wink), that the matter is still with consulting engineers as there is real doubt that the weight of any cladding plus the roof would be too much for the structural beams and that ongoing litigation was under way against the design company.

The word I got from Friday was that the money was now in place for cladding, but still no date set for the work to be done.

Although the North Stand is now sponsored so that maybe were a small percentage of the cash has been stumped up.
