Good to see these pictures of Saints' new ground making progress. I was disappointed to see all their losses from recent seasons and I expect them to thrive at their new ground. It will be good for rugby league.

Looks fantastic and I'll readily admit I'm very jealous! |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

As I said on the saints board....
"It looks a little boring at the moment but that main stand should look pretty good covered in red.
It is very much a smaller version of Brightons new ground.
I am not just excited about this stadium as a Wigan fan for the derbies but also just as a fan of RL. When saints started building it I thought I would drive past in disgust but I just don't, I just get a buzz of excitement thinking about attending as a fan.
Saints are one of the top 3 clubs in the country and one of the biggest names in the game, to see them move into a new stadium is fantastic for the game in this country. Not only will I enjoy attending in the away end as a Wigan fan, I will no doubt attend a semi-final of the cup there at some point, I'm sure many internationals will be played there, maybe even a WCC. I think they should move the Championship finals to this new venue and give it the games it deserves.
The stadium is already building a history that our current ground will just never have despite the fantastic facility it is."
Appart from that main stand though it really does look dreadful if they are leaving all that metal on show. I suppose you can't see it because tesco is in the way though. Still doesn't stop me from being jealous. However, we pay hardly anything to play in a bigger stadium with more facilities than their new stadium has. It is the best RL ground but still quite a way behind the KC and DW in terms of facilities.

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

The whole of the end behinid the goals will be ours and that is all standing. We will also get a seating allocation on the corner of the main stand. I think a Saints fan suggested the allocation would be 4.5k.
The away end is very similar to Warrington and the LSV home end. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

No, both ends (behind the posts) are standing, only the two side stands are all seated. |

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.
