I refer you to my first response on this thread "there is NO matchday parking at the ground" all the parking there is sponsors ,staff, disabled , and any functions , all supporters will have to use the town centre multi stories, or find street parking nearby but i bet the wardens will be out in force on matchdays , also Tesco and the retail park will have number plate cams and barriers , so you will cop a fine if you try that as well , JJP as far as I know are moving eventually its not Saints who are wanting the site its Langtree and there is still phase 2 of the site that they want to develop with hotel shops cafes etc
the Saints website says it all really
Parking and Transport
Langtree Park, the new home of St. Helens Rugby Football Club, is situated on Peasley Cross Lane, St. Helens, WA9 3AL.
The Club and planners hope the majority of spectators will park in the town centre car parks and make their way on foot over the new footbridge that spans the Linkway East.
The bridge is accessed from Salisbury Street, opposite the World of Glass, and is a short walk from Chalon Way Car Park that holds 698 vehicles. It gives access to the front of the Tesco Extra Store and the Stadium is just around the corner.
There are numerous other Car Parks in the town centre available which are slightly further to walk from; for example, Birchley Street (496 spaces) and North John Street (216 spaces).
There is a footpath which runs along the Canal Bank - and this route allows you to access the new footbridge via Ravenhead Greenway.
The Canal Bank is not well illuminated but spectators can turn left at the World of Glass/Chalon Way and make their way along Salisbury Street, under the railway bridge, past the Chamber of Commerce and onto the bridge; the lighting has been upgraded and is well illuminated.
The footbridge can be accessed from St Helens Central too - by turning left onto Shaw Street, crossing Church Street and into Chalon Way East and then by turning left into Salisbury Street and walking under the railway bridge.
The footbridge can also be accessed from Matalan along the Canal Bank which is well lit onto Ravenhead Greenway.
No parking is available at the stadium, Peasley Cross Lane or any of the surrounding roads which are clearways. Tesco will have a number plate recognition scheme in place and parking time is restricted. Any breaches result in an automatic financial penalty.
The surrounding retail parks will also have parking restrictions on them with time slots and barriers.
We look forward to welcoming you.
