well done st helens



as one of the leading rugby clubs in england you deserve a better ground than KR.



its been a hard slog getting a new ground and you deserve it.



wont be surprised to see your crowds top 15,000 and down the track see it expanded to over 20,000



real progress for RL in england and why franchising is so important for the games future.

it has the capacity to be expanded in the future



as financing is difficult they went for a lower initial capacity as its easier to fund.

Not strictly true. McManus has always said he was going for quality and atmosphere over quantity for quantity's sake.



The stadium will give ample room for crowd growth without feeling like an empty seat showroom - which was the aim.

Good to see another SL club embracing the 21st Century as opposed to playing on an old school field with a temporary stand at one end and half a dozen crumbling steps at the other.

By 2015 The stadium in European Rugby League Will be fantastic.....Headingley, DW Stadium, Saints Stadium, Salford Stadium, Stobart Stadium, Stade Gilbert Brutus, Wakey Stadium, Cas Stadium (announcement due today), LSV, Stobart Stadium, The Shay, KC Stadium, Halliwell Jones, Keepmoat Stadium, Gateshead International, Galpharm Stadium. And then even some of the ground that used to be poor in the lower leagues are improved a hell of a lot. Tetleys Stadium, Mount Pleasant, Cougar Park, Spotland, South Leeds Stadium.



Have I missed any out that are redeveloping? Hull KR maybe? And I don't put The Moon in there as it's a Yawnion ground and I hope a big hole opens up and swallows it along with 'Twickers'

The Stobart Stadium - so good they named it twice.





P.S. Nice looking design - I hope the standing area is delivered.

There's no question about that - it definitely has terracing.

i like it that there isn't an old speedway track round the edge so you are close to pitch.

Good idea that.



It does look a good little stadium but like all the other promised new rl stadiums/stands i'll believe it when i see it.

It's being built

It's just so damn pretty, brings a tear to one's eye.

well it's already more promising than wakey and cas

Looks like the LSV.
