www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/1162 Good to see these pictures of Saints' new ground making progress. I was disappointed to see all their losses from recent seasons and I expect them to thrive at their new ground. It will be good for rugby league.

Looks fantastic and I'll readily admit I'm very jealous!

A smart ground indeed!

I look forward to visiting next season

As I said on the saints board....

"It looks a little boring at the moment but that main stand should look pretty good covered in red.

It is very much a smaller version of Brightons new ground.

I am not just excited about this stadium as a Wigan fan for the derbies but also just as a fan of RL. When saints started building it I thought I would drive past in disgust but I just don't, I just get a buzz of excitement thinking about attending as a fan.

Saints are one of the top 3 clubs in the country and one of the biggest names in the game, to see them move into a new stadium is fantastic for the game in this country. Not only will I enjoy attending in the away end as a Wigan fan, I will no doubt attend a semi-final of the cup there at some point, I'm sure many internationals will be played there, maybe even a WCC. I think they should move the Championship finals to this new venue and give it the games it deserves.

The stadium is already building a history that our current ground will just never have despite the fantastic facility it is."


Appart from that main stand though it really does look dreadful if they are leaving all that metal on show. I suppose you can't see it because tesco is in the way though. Still doesn't stop me from being jealous. However, we pay hardly anything to play in a bigger stadium with more facilities than their new stadium has. It is the best RL ground but still quite a way behind the KC and DW in terms of facilities.

Looks ace. Is the away end going to be seated?

The whole of the end behinid the goals will be ours and that is all standing. We will also get a seating allocation on the corner of the main stand. I think a Saints fan suggested the allocation would be 4.5k.

The away end is very similar to Warrington and the LSV home end.

No, both ends (behind the posts) are standing, only the two side stands are all seated.

Looks like a non-league football ground.

Thats even better then

love the stand at Wire and at LSV.

What's the capacity of their new ground?

Looking forward to pumping them in there next season
