Ta for colour reference I'll pass it on.
Nobody said life would be easy
Great to see it coming together, can't wait for my first match in the new ground.
A question though. Can someone please enlighten me as to the financials of the build, total cost of stadium and how it is being financed? Ta
the tesco has no 2nd floor as yet BUT!!!! it does have the holes drilled in the steel and a lift pit is in place just incase they do put a 2nd floor in......
All I can say is what we were told at the planning stage. The Council/NWDA are taking care of the costs of cleaning up the site plus installing services and building the footbridge (c£10 million between them). The sale of KR plus directors' loans is financing the stadium build. At the time this information was shared, the value of KR was £8 million. Whether that is the final figure obtained by Saints or not I don't know. I've heard the overall figure for the stadium as being £25 million but that could just as easily include all the preparation work to the site and the services taken care of by the Council/NWDA.
Who gives a shite about Tesco ?!!
I thought it was Homebase
Has any one got any pics of the old girl?
Some photos from the weekend, sweep around the stadium.

good shots Ste, some angles of the stadium not seen before.
Fantastic pictures. I usually get down every couple of weeks to have a look but I can see more from your photo's than I can see actually there. Keep em coming.
The North stand does look a little tight for space under the stand for bars toilets etc as it currenly stands unless it is going to be extended back?
it really is looking far better than I ever imagined.
drove down PX road a few times at the weekend and was gobsmacked at the size of it.
Awesome work Saints!
has anyone got any more pics?????
As a generally modest guy who doesn't like to be too positive, I have to say this new stadium is looking mighty impressive. It could just be the best purpose built RL stadium in the division.
Pre-Match drinks?
try the George Hotel , George St
St Helens , A real Saints pub
