Looking very good and ideally suited for rugby league, i think the 18,000 capacity is a good figure and Saints will be looking to attract more and more supporters over the next few years.

I hope one day that Wigan can do the same.

I like the look of it and look forward to playing (whupping) them there.
How good would it be if the first time we play them there we knock seven shades of stuff out of them?

right, well if your coming from wigan its probably best described as being on the far side of st helens, as if your heading to widnes. Ever noticed a big silver/white Gas silo type thing in the st helens skyline? its pretty much next to that.

I think that one day Wigan Rugby will be the main team at the DW as the Latics will eventually find their level. At the moment they are punching above their weight and are existing on good money from the sale of star players. Some time in the future they will not have star players to sell and will probably end up in Division 1 or 2.
I don't wish this upon them but one has to be a realist.
They may last a few more years in the Premiership but relegation is inevitable. When that day comes Wigan R L will be oh so necessary as tenants as 4,000 fans for soccer will look ridiculous at the DW.

Salty, I remember standing on the Kop at Central Park watching Wigan play Workington in a league game one Saturday afternoon accompanied by about 2,500 other hardy souls. Thing haven't always been as rosie as they are now

Which is why Wigan fans shouldn't be jealous. Yes in an ideal world we'd have our own ground but it would have to be one big enough for Wigan. With a ground the size of Saints many fans wouldn't get to see the big matches live.

Saints' new ground is great for them, but that's because (I don't mean this to be patronising, it's just a fact) they are a smaller club than Wigan.

Wigan sell out how many times a year? once

We have had four games this year over 19k to be fair.

You must sell out every week then in your tiny stadium?

I reckon we have only had a handful of games this season where the attendance would be able to fit inside the HJ so for you to join in is rather funny

It was in response to



Not a peeing contest who has the most fans, obviously our stadium is big enough for us bar 2 games a year possibly 3 with Widnes stepping up

Damn you didn't bite. Well done
