A building wrap is something ive thought of as well. Especially for the East Stand as that is a popular traffic route and so a large advert for that stand could generate some income.
I think at present its the only stand without a sponsor.
When thinking of a wrap i noted that they tend to be used with lots of scaffolding behind them to give rigidity. At saints there would be a large gap between the vertical roof supports so maybe that would cause issues.

I think i posted pics of Leicester Citys ground in the past showing the wraps they have, but if i didnt here are a couple

Problem is though, that won't prevent the problems that people have complained about: i.e. weather/atmosphere etc.

If they are going to spend money on it, then I'd rather them get it right.

I doubt we will EVER see this happen, though.

As one who used to sit down at KR i dont think there is any problem with the atmosphere at our new ground.

I suspect those who complain are people who stood on the popular side but who now sit in the north or south stands and wonder why it isnt as loud.

They are not comparing like with like however.

The noise generating section is now the West stand, and i can generally hear that at most matches. At Knowsley road i could often only hear away fans from the main stand. Thats not to say that Saints werent making atmosphere, but that what was noisy under the scaff didnt travel much. Instead it tended to reverberate under the low roof and get trapped within.

The problem with the atmosphere is not the ground. I've heard away fans chant in the East whilst sat on the 20m line towards the West in the North Stand. When the crowd starts to chant it is heard and sounds good.

It's just that the crowd don't do it that often...

I like this idea, it would have the same impact as perforated cladding, and generate more income for the club, at less cost to the club than cladding, I can't see the downside to it

Anyone forwarded this to the club as a temporary measure????

I'm not saying it's not been thought of, but sometimes the obvious can get missed as not everyone thinks the same way???

I think last night might have hit home with the club that the cladding needs doing. We shouldn't have to shut any stand.

I seen a lot of arguments last night with fans sitting in season ticket holders seats.

have heard that the cladding has been given the go ahead with a meeting today and an announcement to follow. Not necessarily today however.

Awesome news. I can imagine the meeting.

"Boss man, the natives are crying out for a half back and a world class one at that".
"What? What's a half back?"
"Erm, I dunno boss man, it's quite important to the team they reckon?"
"You don't think they've spotted that we're waaaaaayyyyyyyy under the salary cap do you?"
"No boss man, they can't do maths, they're all from Parr and Thatto Heath, but they ain't happy"
"Is it that Saddened! again?"
"Yes boss man, he's the ring leader"
"Did he get the gold chair?"
"No boss man"
"What costs the least, a gold chair, one of these half back things or the cladding?"
"The cladding boss man"
"Order some cladding pronto, cheap as possible, buy it from B&Q on a Thursday and take Kel Coslett, you can use his pension book for a discount"

NO. you've got that wrong. WEDNESDAY is pensioners day. If it means they can get it cheap they can have my card.

Probably the best thing I've ever read on here.

excellent Saddened!

In all seriousness though, I hope this is actually true...

Hmmmmmm. London Wanderers ?
