The NWDA provided funds for ground remediation, that is they paid for the clean up of the site, St Helens Council paid for the road infrastructure and Tescos and Saints provided the rest i believe , I am not sure if they got any sort of Euro grant or other help

St Helens , A real Saints pub
Director loans as well. And I read somewhere that we sold Knowsley Road for more than £8 million. £11 million I think? The NWDA took up £4 million of the original £10 million that the Council were going to contribute for remediation and infrastructure works (including the footbridge) if I remember right. Tesco aren't contributing to the stadium build. The site is on a long lease.
Would you believe it the cams are down again they seem to be going down at the same time every time and will probably come back on at same time tonight aswell. They must be doing something top secret lol.
It finally feels real!!!! WHERE GETTING A STADIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

looking awesome already, had a drive past yesterday and it looks huge. great pics keep em coming.
Anyone else buzzing from watching our stadium take shape, cannot wait for that first game !!!
Great photos as usual folks !
Also heard that the capacity will be more the 20k mark rather than 18k I think Mr Colquit said it in the star or something??? Either that or my Pops is imagining stuff! Anyone else heard this?
Quiet at bit of ground work being done this morning, met The Surrey Saint and his misses at the back of Burger King, lovely couple, they where made up with the win and the new stadium.
keep them pictures comming really looks the part now, its been a long long wait but its gona be worth it to have our own super stadium at last
As an after thought why didn't somebody put a camera on the Gas tower and do a time lapse job from start to finish. Or has somebody secretly done that already. Nice picture off Px bridge Yorky.
Also, mods can you please change my'At the peasley cross gates' to 'On the inside' because I am most days LOL
