I know most people hate Saints on here (they don't bother me personally) but everyone is agreed that the place is a dump (though the pitch is very nice). Why would people want to continue to visit a dump when they could visit a nice stadium?
It will still be in st helens!
st helens having a nice stadium is like putting a brass handle on the s***house door!

Interviewer: So that obviously means that you're not going to St Helens and you're not going to Leeds?
Frano: I don't know why I would ever want to go to St Helens or Leeds

Some people argue that Saints have sacrificed getting a new stadium for a SL winning side. Therefore, if they change their efforts to getting a new stadium will they be able to afford a winning side? Or has no-one else thought along those lines?

Building a new stadium will in fact bring in more revenue for them corporate boxes bring in more money than the terraces .Better facalities bring in more people who in turn spend money just look at the South Stand bar before and after games.
In the long run... but how many years will it be before they break even? I'd expect it to be quite a few, they're not short term things these.

Where would you rather visit... a tip deep within St. Helens or a nice ground on the outskirts of St. Helens (easy egress)?
