What was your opinion of Langtree Park, parking, walk up, watering hole's etc.

Saints need to spend money on there stadium to finish it.

What watering holes

Our stadium is not as big but for me the hj offers more in pubs and clubs parking and near to town etc

Bit dull.

They are very similar really in those regards, both dominated by Tesco (Our Tesco is better

). The Saints ground has better facilities itself than Wire's does, with the café and the bars. We could probably do with them sticking a stonking big pub on the plot of ground that is currently vacant next to the ground. The club could also do far, far more in terms of selling with the big walkways around the stadium. There should be beer and merchandise tents spread around those areas, selling stuff like branded mini rugby balls, foam fingers and light sticks. The kids would lap that stuff up.

We have 8 stonking big pubs near the ground,but you do have a cafe

More to the point, WTF is "Operation Omega"!?

So Saints have balls up big time by not identifying 8 "stonking" pubs to build their future around....sack the board

If you are reaching to the town centre for those pubs, St Helens town centre is a 5 minute walk from the ground and there are smaller pubs on the other side too.

My biggest concern is the atmosphere. There hasn't been a big atmosphere at the ground yet. I sit near the middle and you can barely hear the supposedly noisy standing sections. Hopefully the cladding helps the noise stay under the roof rather than it just drifting out of the massive holes like it does now.

What I was thinking. Put a back wall in all around the stadium and it will sound better ten fold

Operation Omega is the saving of your life. In the background a Jack Bauer figure was taking out bad guys, having car chases around the car park and diffusing bombs.

It's something all clubs have to do as part of the safety certificates. Warrington must do them more discretely.

Do us all a favour and 'go dark'

I'd have batman and various marvel comic book heros perched around the stadium. Ready to jump in if anything gets a bit dicey...

I was expecting big things of operation omega but it came to nothing. Disapointing.

Something Saints have always done it, what was it at Knowsley Road? Operation 888 or something?

I liked the ample parking just a short walk away over the new bridge. However the stadium just feels like it's not finished. Was it really designed to be that open? A bit of cladding around the sides and it would be a much better stadium in my opinion.

Apparently the builders say its what Saints payed for but Saints say the cladding should of been included in the cost. Me personally would like to no what Typhoo(Saints Sponsor) use seeing that saints haven't any cups to put Tea in....

Sad One, I totally agree the Tescos that both you & I do are weekly shopping at is far better than the one in Saint Helens

I believe it was designed to be enclosed but as they built it, they realised that site location and design meant that if the wind had nowhere to go from inside the stadium the roof could blow off.............................errrrrrrr

All football and rugby clubs have to do a 'live practice' three times a year. It's to ensure that the stewards etc know where to be if a major incident occurs.

Best UK ground in Super League for me (I can't comment on Catalans as I've never been there, but I've been to all the domestic ones).

It's how our ground should have been built in my opinion - standing behind the sticks and seating at the side. I hated the South Stand until this season when they extended it so I can stand by the divide with the East Stand for more of a "behind the sticks" view.

Oh, and I didn't walk through the town or see the new bridge I'd been told about because I got walking directions from St Helens Central station off Google Maps and they sent us a different way. It was only a 10-15 minute walk though and brought us straight to the away end which was handy.

I therefore can't comment on pubs or walkways around the ground overall, but the bars on the concourse were quite quick to get served at and there was plenty of room around there, so I was fairly impressed.

I thought it was excellent but, as mentioned, a little lacking in atmosphere. I think we know, though, that it takes a few years to bed in a new ground and the cladding will surely sort that out.

It didn't feel like a trip to St Helens to me: no trudging through puddles, far fewer unwashed locals and a very poor opposition. Even though we parked a fair walk from the ground, still ended up getting home much sooner than you would have done from Knowsley Road.

Well done, keep it up (especially the quality of the team, they're hopeless).

I too got that unfinished feeling about it. Bit cheaper than our ground for ale etc.... but agree with dropkick, its good that both standing areas are behind the sticks at both ends. Adds to the atmosphere IMO......

we got dropped off in the town centre and went in Lloyds bar and Wetherspoons there was a good mix of fans in them both then we had a 5 mins walk to the ground over the new bridge.the ground itself is very good but certainly needs the cladding finishing off but all in all far better than K Rd.

Who are the Peasley Cross Partnership ? Wanting to charge a fiver to park on the Queen's highway. Gangsters no doubt.
