and the percentage of the DW that wigan warriors own is ?????????????

Tesco will own nothing of the ground, Tesco were used to help St Helens buy the land.

SO neither Wigan or St Helens will own thier stadium. Not very good for RL.

Nope!

St helens RLFC WILL own the ground!!

Show some class mate instead of jealousy, we won't have landlords, or the huge costs of KR just to keep it to an acceptable standard, and will benefit massively from an all year round stadium, in sponsorship, advertising, and corporate facilities.

Any club would bite your arm off to boast that, and it's happening. I'd play on Ruskin drive for the long term security and opportunities the new stadium brings. A historical moment for the club which will strengthen us no-end.

Also handy for the weekly shop at Tesco !!!

I think the council payed for half of the price of the stadium, Whelan payed the other half. I know the go-ahead for the building of the stadium was on the premise that it was used for both RL and football. Whelan wasn't given the go-ahead when it was just WAFC alone, only when Wigan RL joined the party. At first Whelan wanted to buy Wigan RL and move Latics into Central Park.

Again this is a nothing argument. Just a wind up from Saints fans.

And you'll still always be second to Wigan.

its not meant to end up in a wind up argument,,it's just hard for a few warriors fans to stomach that saints will have a brand new purpose built rl stadium,,and we will own it !!!

Owning your ground doesn't matter a jot. Tell me what difference it'll make?

Well lets put it this way, i for one wish we had not had to sell out to Whelan, the idea to re-do CP with the money of investors at that time would have been a lot more benificial in the long run to WRLFC and we would not have to dance to the tune of WAFC.

The whole playoff debacle was a disgrace having to move grounds, as stated saints will not have to be the poor relation in there ground.

IMO it matters a hell of a lot.

AC Milan are tenants in the San Siro. nuff said.

I've seen the models of CP with it all re-done. Looked fantastic. Whelan saved us after Robinson sold CP. If Whelan hadn't bought us, we would have had to have built a brand new ground one way or another.
