Wonderful pictures, well done and thanks for your hard work.

Reading in the programme for tonights match that there are less than 200 places left in the premium seating at the new stadium.
The stadium has around 1000 Premium seats. This doesnt include executive boxes by the way.
These seats work out at around £550 per season to purchase. Saints are probably looking at around half a million pounds worth of sales with these tickets.

I also note on the Saints website a reply from someone enquiring about executive boxes for 2012 and being advised that all 12 boxes are already sold out for the full season.
Saints have 11 boxes which hold 12 people and one 24 person box. The 12 people boxes cost £15k per season and the 24 man box costs £28k. So Saints are looking at around £200k for the season from these boxes.

In total then we are possibly looking at 1000 corporate sales already
Ontop of this we have approximately 1000 regular sales for the South stand
2500 reserved seats sold for the North stand
2000+ standing season ticket holders
Probably a further 500 in family areas and unreserved seating.

Is it not a major surprise that behind the sticks hasn't sold out yet? I thought they would go like hot cakes. Seems to me the clamour for terracing might have been misplaced.

Well to be honest we dont really know how terrace season tickets are going. I use the 2000 figure based on the fact the East stand at Widnes holds around 2400, and usually only has a few hundred tickets on general sale per match. For all we know the west terrace may already be looking at 3000 season ticket holders for next season.
Alternatively some of those who went east stand at Widnes may have decided to upgrade to either North or South stand at the new stadium.

This season at Widnes may have gone a long way to changing peoples minds about seating. Personally I think terracing is a romantics view on the game. Most people manage at wiganwith people jumping up from their seats. I see no reason why we cannot. The good thing is that the standing is probably fairly easy to convert if the romantic notion wears off and the demand for seating increases.

Great news on the sales of season tickets

I for one wouldn't have bought a season ticket next year if the stadium had been made an all seater. How many seats would they fit on the West terrace compared to people standing.

Daft excuse not to get a season ticket if you ask me!!!

I personally hate all seaters, i like an option 95% of the time i prefer standing

Looking absolutely fabulous IMO. Love the way the seating looks. Symetricality is so overrated.

Clad the North and it'll look fab.

You and your cladding is getting everywhere!!!


I see they have gone with Saints on one side, I wonder if they have held back on the other side to see who offers the most cash for getting their names on the stadium?
