Am I right in thinking our ground was last year reported as being a £26m complex, with recent reports quoting a figure of £16m? Bad journalism or massive downscaling? Or have i misunderstood this completely, with £26m being the figure for phase 3 completion? Confused

The PR for our new stadium has been nothing short of shambolic. But then again, there was a fan consultation all the way back in 2000 with Dave Tarry and Adam Thomas, and a grand total of two people turned up, myself and my cousin as mere sixteen year olds. That was embarassing.

Have it on good authority that the builder for Saints new ground, Barr construction has gone bust although details have not yet been released. Might this hold up their build at a critical time???

Don't think they have gone bust as they have just got the contract for the Aberdeen Fc stadium. One of the sub contractors went bust a few weeks back though.

Nope, they haven't gone bust. But a company from the North East employing local builders on the site HAS gone bust, leaving a number of builders without work and unpaid. Barr will sort that one out and Saints have been assured that the handover will not be delayed as a result.

We now have seats in the North Stand (with 'Saints' written across that block), the corners and they are presently being installed in the South Stand.

The stadium is oval in shape but there are now two sticky out bits where entrances are being built. This was something to do with the proximity to Tesco apparently. There is also a continuous roof with no obstructions. As it is free-hanging, the backs of the stands have to finish about one metre short of the roof (bar the South Stand, which has all the function rooms in it) due to potential problems with wind resistence.

Saints are due to get the keys at the end of October.
