This weekend saw non-season ticket holders able to purchase season tickets in the new Purple Stand. Their are not many spaces left in the central blocks as it is all systems go for this weekend.

New Stand Pictures 16/11/02 : Open day 2.

The second open day provided TheSaddlersFC with a prime opportunity to get some more snaps of the new stand. They must have knew we were coming and didn't switch the lights on, so the flash had to try and illuminate the stadium on it's own. The welders were busy working on railings at the Banks's stand side of the new stand, while the workmen were busy working underneath the stand. The walkway underneath the stand is coming along slowly, and the builders are working on finishing the back of the stand near the plastic pitch. In my opinion they have a lot more work to do before Saturday, but then again that's assuming everything including the walkway and facilties under the stand are finished. We are going to be contacting the club to find out what the state of play is with the new stand on Saturday.
