dronskisaint Posted 30 May, 2013 Share Posted 30 May, 2013 Baseball Ground mid seventies. You had to be 6ft to see above the surface..unreal to see some of the old footage. The Dell was more of a beach than a bog by February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints boy in Leeds Posted 30 May, 2013 Share Posted 30 May, 2013 Jesus christ, that must be costing them tens of millions. It doesn't surprise me to be fair, we quoted for installing a load of hi end CCTV systems for one of the sheikhs relative that owns loads of property in Dubai. Some of the cameras are in the region of £250k per unit, didn't even blink, simply replied with, how many can you supply. They have so much money it's beyond comprehension.

Matthew Le God Posted 6 June, 2013 Share Posted 6 June, 2013 Is it meant to be finished in time for preseason? That is what they said in the early Saints Player videos last year. Looks like they might have too much to do to get the main pavilion building finished in under a month but other buildings on the site (academy, security hut, groundsman building and spectator stands), pitches and landscaping may be ready for when the players come back.

I understand they are going to be in a training camp and playing a few friendlies abroad so that should give them a couple of extra weeks to complete, after the inital reporting back and tests etc. i guess the main things that will need completing will be the pitches and changing rooms. Looks from the photos there is a lot of work to do but it's amazing how quickly these things seem to spring up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
