Last I heard was that Saints have been in negotiations with Tesco, St Helens Chamber of Commerce and the retail parks about additional matchday parking. This is as well as the parking which the Council said would be available at the two town centre multistoreys. I don't know for certain what the outcome was of the discussions with the retail parks and Tesco but if all parking places are secured for matchdays then that would take the total to 1600 spaces available. However, if Saints are hoping to hold concerts and the like at the stadium then they will need to get things on a more secure footing so as to have enough spaces available for whatever events they hold.
There is only disabled and corporate parking at the stadium for matchdays. No able bodied parking at all.
I'm sure the club said that they will be setting out details of parking and such like in the New Year.
The Chief - I hadn't heard about the allocation of disabled parking bays. Have you contacted Mike Appleton about that? He isn't the person responsible but he's great at clarifying bits of information like that, bless him. I don't think the bloke sleeps.
Saddened! - At the moment the old Tesco parking area is being used for parking. I think it is quite pricey though, something like £10 for the day (don't know what it is by the hour, or if it is in fact broken down by the hour).
