pics STILL don't work for me

Not sure what you mean - I have just checked the site and the pics work fine - you do have to wait until all photos are all downloaded (ten or fifteen seconds or so, at most), after you click on the wording underneath the little header pics. for each gallery.

Near the top of each pic's right hand side there will appear a little thing saying "next" - click on that when you are ready to move to the next pic, or one saying "prev" on the left if you want to go back to the ... er ....previous one.

If you mean they are not good enough then we can perhaps get MGM or Dreamworks to make a "proper" film - next time we move grounds !

They work fine for me Mike, thanks very much. The only issue I have is that they make me more desperate for Tuesday to come round!

Doesn`t work for me either... I can view all the thumbnail images, but when I click on them to view larger versions the image box is blank, although it does still say "image x of y" and the photo title is there. I can also click through using "next" and "previous", but all still remain blank.
Presume Burple is having the same issue?

P.S. no need for the sarcasm, what you do is appreciated, but if it genuinely isn`t working for some people......

I get exactly the same as the above poster. I can see the thumbnails but when I click on one the cream box appears but it's blank no picture. The next and prev buttons work as I can see the image title changing but no picture

as for the sarcasm... If I offended you then I apologise. The pics are and have been amazing I just miss them

btw they used to work fine for me before the site changed, dunno if that means anything

EDIT: also I said 'STILL' as i mentiond this last week too

The site uses a javascript lightbox, either you've got javascript disabled or it's not installed or you're surfing from work and they've disabled javascript.

If you can, try a different browser.

it used to work though until it change to the new site format?

you could well be right though, I am looking from work. Will have to try from home later.

It's just a shame cause I like to show of the ground to the peeps I work with. Bob loves them, martins a bit of a dick though and aint interested. He prefers gardening. nuff said

On a slightly related note, the new website looks superb on Internet Explorer so my comment is simply an observation rather than a criticism as such, however using Google Chrome (my preferred browser) the site appears in a poor format for some reason.

The pictures are, as usual, excellent and I can't wait until Tuesday, even more so now

Great pictures, thanks If theres just one little niggle im going to have, is that the barriers really do need some colour, apart from that its looking fantastic! Can't wait for Tuesday, I just hope we get a really decent crowd.

All working fine for me, good photos once again thank you............still looks like loads of work to do though, went past the ground half an hour ago and there still laying tarmac etc etc

Great pictures as always.
Not realy that much to do laying down the tarmac is not a big job nor is finishing off a bar work. (but that doesn't matter too much as long as it's finished before Tuesday night)
North Side still needs a bit of work but it wont be open on Tuesday anyway.

Can't see them being painted for the Conventry game. Seems like there is plenty of other work to do first! Remember it took about a year for the North stand to get its barriers painted red!

Does look a bit bland and the barriers would look better painted in red.

No doubt the ground advertising boards will take some of the blandness away but the lack of colour in the home and away stands detracts from an otherwise excellent stadium, albeit only 3 sides........at the moment.

Wonder what the Boardroom is like? Oak panelled and leather sofas no doubt.....but what the hell, they deserve some luxury after all the hard work over the past years

Is there going to be a cover on top of the TV gantry area? If not I can imagine some very expensive equipment suffering from the rain.

Nope. Very nice and modern. No oak panelling in our lovely new state of the art stadium! PMG has his own private room.

Or Jeff Stelling's humour

...and quite right to...after all the guy has done for his / our club!

Great pics again Mike thanks.

The pic of the home stand gives a good idea of the potential for future expansion should it be needed.

i managed to get into the ground yesterday and had a tour around!! and may i say :O what a ground!!! can't wait now!!

Agree, but can't understand the reason for having the 2 street lamps INSIDE the concourse.
