Wasn't there talk of a second or differnt webcam being set up?
When you view from that angle OK the end stands are obviously smaller but they still look impressive.

Just the way they build them , they use the rear as a counterweight for the roof , look at the LSV , also they were apparently putting in footings big enough to take phase 2/3 , if you'll ever need them
Anyway it should be ready in twelve months

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Looks pretty good to be honest, will be much better than HJ and LSV cheap options, they just look like lego grounds.
I wouldn't worry about the size of the ends behind the goals, probably the same size as your current away terrace but made to look small because that main stand is pretty huge, looks about the same size as our west stand. Very impressive. Can't wait for my first visit. Will be a great atmosphere in the away end behind the goals I reckon.
I usually hope for a huge home game to start off with for the fixtures but next season I hope our first game is Salford away!
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

The extra long depth of the end stands is due to the foundations being done at this stage for phase 3. The phase 3 drawings show and second tier of seating above the existing standing section. But for this the depth of those end stands would be about half what is seen in the Walshy's photo.
That's good news! Were ahead of your initial estimate then Starbug.

Yes but only when they have mains power on the site.
