Where do you start with this?
Where is the evidence that owning the ground would make money?
Since Saints moved into their new Stadium their accumulated losses are over £7 million, in that same period Wigan lost £3.78 million.
As for the ground being too big, the average attendances at the JJB/DW are higher in the twenty years there than they were in the previous twenty years at Central Park.

The average cost for stadium rental is around £280K per per season, how much do you think it would cost to build and maintain a new one?
