If they built the ground next to Junction station I'd have voted for them straight away.


True that, I hate living in Warrington and supporting Saints. Bitch to get to. Probably one of the only people happy with the move to Widnes, 1 train from Birchwood to there! Shame we can't get a train from Central/Bank Quay to St Helens Central as it's right next to the new ground.

a)Terraces
b)Changing ends at half time
c)Reasonably priced ale
d)Near a mainline train station (not St Helens Central which is useless)

They are building a super structure bridge that will connect the new stadium with the nearby town centre and St Helens central train station. It will literally be a 5/10 min walk from the ground to the main train station in St Helens that's all. Also by car the stadium is just off the Linkway Road, so it will be dead easy to access off the M62. Personally It could not be in a better location for train or car access. :USTUPID:

St Helens Central is helpful if you want to go to Liverpool or Wigan. If you don't then it might as well not exist.

Admittedly St Helens Junction isn't much better, but it serves Manchester regularly and quickly which is why I like it.

The entire town of St Helens is basically cut adrift from the rail system though as you can go to very few places from there without changing in Liverpool, Wigan or Manchester.

The only thing I liked about Warrington in the eighteen years that I lived there was the fact it was nice and easy to get a train out of the place.

Most fans come by coach anyway, so a stadium just off the M62 is ideal

Anyway as for stadium check out the photos of Saints new stadium on Redvee.net or on our RLFans site, spot on, will be one of the best, if not the best.

Saints is clearly the most impressive facility of those rugby grounds listed. The football grounds are obviously going to be superior, particularly Hull's.

How you rate it though can only come from experience. Can you get in without queueing for twenty minutes? Can you go for a wee at HT without spending all half time bum to todger with other overweight neanderthals? Can you get a cold (or warm) drink of decent quality and a decent bit of food?

Saints new ground is good for fat people. KFC, Burger King, McDonalds, Subway and Frankie & Bennies all in walking distance.
