I drove past it by accident the other night. Sat there looking at the big hoarding that says "here we go here we go" wondering what it was about - then it clicked!!

Still a waste ground with old buildings on 2 days ago.

I wouldn't read too much into this.

Amec built the JJB before we'd finished playing at Central Park. Once the ground had been prepared, it was simply delivered and assembled in flatpack form.

You won't get too many clues from seeing the site.

As a traditionalist, if I had my way, the DW would be renamed 'The Gant'! :D

Chesterfield's new footie Stadium, and it looks very nice, was knocked up pretty quickly as well. I would imagine getting the drainage etc sorted first is the time consuming bit,

I would love to beat Stains in our very first derby at their new stadium.

Shouldn't be a problem for us with all 3 Tomkins brothers in the squad, especially as Logan will be in his Testimonial Year! :lol:

Looks like they've already started demolishing Knowsley road.































In fact, it's looked like that for years...

The Tomkins. This current generation or the offspring of the current crop. They should be retired by then.
