Think you might be in for a disappointment if you think only RL is being played there.

A tiny little football club will play when we allow them too as it's our stadium and it's primary use is Rugby unlike the DW we will never have to move our fixtures around to suit a football club.

It is however nice to be able to explorer lots and lots of different options when looking to generate new revenue streams , I mean you lot cant even make money from selling pie's at Dave Whelan's stadium

Nice try.

Sorry for being in town with a premier league football team, I wish we could be just like you with only an RL team in town. Unfortunately we aint, however we have access to great facilities and for the money thats paid I dont see why the situation would change or need to. Well done on getting a new stadium, I think its great for Saints and RL in general. I am genuinly happy as are most rival fans that the north west clubs now have good quality modern stadiums. Hope the crowds come now.

Regardless of who gets primary use clashes will always happen. As in this case the premier league fixtures where drawn out ages ago and stated Wigan would play Man Utd on the monday. I hardly think that game could be moved before the RL fixtures are even announced. I somehow cant see either Latics or Man utd saying the game needs to be moved so that the Saints Wigan can play be played on Friday. Just like them I cant even see how the footy will effect the good friday game. All it will mean is the monday home game for the Warriors moved to the Tuesday. Which isnt a big deal considering sky have put games on that day in the past.

It wouldn't need to be since Wigan were due to come to us on Good Friday. Easter Monday is your problem, not ours.

Exactly my point, yet theres an entire thread dedicated to evil Wigan trying to change the Good Friday game. Its a none issue yet has produced some incredible whinging and moaning about Wigan changing games. Glad to see some Saints fans can see there wont be a problem.

Look forward to Good Friday in your new ground.

No need to get so defensive simply because I stated a fact. As I support both Wigan Athletic and Wigan RL the who gets what from selling the pies isn't something I lose sleep over.

Nice try.

I had the misfortune to go to a latics game last year and I must admit I saw several St Helens RL car stickers in the car park.

Who were the Latics Playing? Could be you saw an abundance of Saints RL stickers because they also support a footbal club who were playing the Latics that day (Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, Everton) thus spending their money in Manchester/Merseyside etc!!! Just because you saw Saints RL stickers in Wigan at a Latics game does not automatically mean that they are there supporting Wigan Athletic FC.

Just a Point
