Does anyone know how much it will be to go and watch Saints at the new ground?

I have been told by a Wiganer that it is £25 to stand up and £27 for the cheapest seat.


Have the club published any prices yet or is this a Pie man's rumour?

Dunno Hort.
Try Redvee, they are pretty knowledgeable and the Saints Media Manager posts on there.
A season ticket will be way cheaper unless you intend to pick and choose your games.

Tut.
State of the art stadium, new young exciting players and a couple of top imports on their way.
Excellence doesn't come cheap you know!

Pies were crowing about the size of their crowd at their last game.
Turns out anyone knowing someone who worked at Heinz got in in for three quid.
Which is three quid to much in my opinion.

£25 to watch world class rugby sounds OK to me. People pay three times that to watch wendyball at Old Trafford, Anfield or Goodison etc.

Can't wait to get in there

i suppose it is better to pay £25 at the new ground than it was to pay £18 at the knowsley road dump..........

Have noted the location and parking and rail links.assume the yorkies would get to Lea Green and then either walk or be bused to ground.for rest assume we get an orienteering compass and map to get from various carparks in town to ground.will there be any access safely identified ie via peasley cross.If there is then i would think those people would then have the same parking issues as was around knowsley road?
I noted also there was concerns now business had dropped around old ground but its swings and roundabouts-crowds bring business but also parking issues.can we see a resurgence of business around peasley cross.is there going to be any safe access via linkway.

still the rfl have decided that fans getting to games is the least of their worries...........hence an international game being played in a town without a railway station...

Wouldn't it be great if the first game at the new stadium was Saints v Manly - Jamie Lyon and all - in the World Club Challenge match. Admittedly something of a long shot, but not an impossible one !

it would be better if Wigan was the first team to play there because that is the only time they are going to fill it.

Whatever the attendance the finance from it will all be in the Saints Bank account unlike Wigan who have to pay the Landlord.and of course we will be able to play when we like.
