Has the terracing been done where the cameras go on t’touchline, if so i will be definitely going. 
Id expect Saints to win by 4, but if they lost i wouldn’t be surprised. Wakey are great to watch, Saints have spells where they can play good RL but mostly Wellens likes us to play five drives and a kick in tough games.

Wakey have generally had a good first season back in SL and put in some great performances. However they have obviously also put in a few bad efforts and certainly those two games against Saints were in that category. 

If we put in one of our good efforts, then maybe it could be third time lucky.

I don’t think they were bad efforts. A couple of try’s and the game got away in some short spells. 
 

As you say we have played a lot better than the saints games this season and particularly the last 2 games. 
 

This has the potential to be a real cracker and close hard fought fixture. 
 

I predict 42 - 12 to Trinity.

I'm afraid it hasn't yet.

There is modern terracing on the South stand (in front of the Benidorm flats), and excellent away seating section in the new East Stand.

Come on, take a chance.

It's awful for away fans on that very shallow terracing and with no cover dboy.

Sneaking feeling that Saints will win this one in a close scoring affair.

Cover is happening close season I believe, plus extra food/drink outlets. But I agree about the terracing. However the view has slightly improved when the dugouts were removed.

Yes it is not the best - that's why I highlighted the much improved alternatives.

The West is terrible really.

Not entirely true, the section under that small bus shelter stand has good terracing in my opinion and the views are fine. Its a pity the remaining terrace which was laid at the same time was not done to the same profile.

However when you realise this was done by WMDC it explains the stupidty

It all needs running through to match the NS profile, but I don't think that's on the cards. Planning has been approved to roof 2/3rds.

Away fans can sit in the new stand too, and its a great view from their.

Yeah I stood at that end for years & it’s not too bad but after making the move North I realised its limitations.
