Indeed

Profoundly moving :thumbsup:

(although it was a close call with No 52 - I just thought No 53's trousers had a better cut to them)

Roz has, of course, now been BANNED from St Mary's for taking unauthorised photographs of the handiwork of the South Coast Football Club.

No-one noticed this last night. I guess we were so awestruck at being given the privilege of running out of the players' tunnel on to the pitch - something that none of the Albion squad have yet been able to do.

I'll make Detective Superintendent before you know it :lolol:

It might not be Southampton. It could be Staines FC. Or Sheffield FC, the world's oldest club :thumbsup:

The seats in the pictures are, indeed, white. Two of the seats in the pictures (the two nearest the camera) are padded, the others are bog-standard plastic.

The seats in the finished stadium will be blue. All of the seats will be padded.

The reasons these particular seats are currently fitted are, firstly, to demonstrate the amount of legroom and elbow-room that will be available (lots) and, secondly, to allow the robustness of the fittings to be tested (fine, so far). Having bog-standard plastic seats alongside the intended seats gives a real feel to how much more comfortable the ones we are getting will be.

At last, a concrete answer, cheers LB :)

Most likely Swansea? Isn'tthat who Natterjack supports!!!???

Is this the place for a HEATED DEBATE?

On the one hand, we have the filth - cautiously considering the need to gather more evidence before reaching a conclusion. On the other, we have a steward, jumping to conclusions on the basis of a football supporter's reputation.

The fact it says SFC, rather than SCFC, was the reason for my supposition.

How is the robustness of the fittings being tested whilst being fitted there ?

They need to be constantly being used in a high traffic area rather than 20 people a days sitting on it for 1 minute at a time.

Not sure that a reliable test situation for them.
