Nope.

Some people seem very determined to get the Council involved in this. They can't seem to accept that Saints own the stadium. The land is leasehold, 999 year lease, but that's nothing unusual in a commercial context. The land is owned by the developer, Langtree.

But Saints don't own the ground, and as such the land isn't an asset as they can't sell it if they wanted to?

In the same way that I'd your house is leasehold you don't own the land but you do own and can sell the property is on the land

Saints own the stadium, yes, but not the land it is built on, no, although of course they could buy out the freehold at a later date. But that's common practice in both the commercial and residential sectors. Saints are free to sell the stadium just as my parents are free to sell their house even though the land belongs to someone else.

6,790 for your last home game, all these figures about your new stadium and capacity are a little brave???????????

remember it's called the dw stadium not the IL stadium. even if wigan ath are relegated, they will still be in the fourth richest league in world football........a lot higher revenues than super league generate lads!!!! and better stadiums and still higher fan bases than ANY super league clubs.

be careful what you wish for

That's a little ironic given the turnout of Wigan fans for their playoff against the Dragons. But never mind. Short memories and all that.

Saints had an average of 11,000 at Knowsley Road for a few years prior to its demolition and so we can expect at least that at our new stadium. Since the capacity of our new stadium is only around 500 more than at Knowsley Road, I can't see capacity being an issue.

You might also wanna have a look at the 17k average plus the fact all the playoff attendances were poor. What was your average at Widnes this season btw, are they all crawling back out of the woodwork now you've got a new shiny stadium?

i am refering to the warriors mate V the french. they had 7 crowds of 13k 2 of 12k (1 against us) and the famous 6,790. so maybe a 15k all seater is more app. good fri game is at dw every 2 years and the big 1. thats it.whats the point in spending an extra x million when its only gonna be full 1 good friday in every 2 years and 20k on once a season for the big one!!!!!!!!!

how can you average 17k when you looks at those figures??????

The average was 16,377.

dw saint is RODALLEGABOMB from Cockney latics

who the hell/what is he/that???????? quite a witty name though. better than my boring one

He's also DAVE WHELAN STADIUM that was banned from RLFANS last year, which means he's got ONE POST to improve his poor trolling or he'll be the same way.

Dave Whelan wanted to do this. He even had a model of it in the old JJB shop across from what was BHS. It's a crying shame that it never happened.
