You are right A.N. Other. I meant to say they would practically double = your 100% quote. My thinking heads in for repair!!
Quote A.N.Other Viking="richardviking"There's been lots of panic on Trustinwidnes I've noticed. Almost all of which unnecessary, but one point did make me think.
Will the casual Widnes supporters (those being the ones we hope and expect to attract back to the club if we are in SL) and other intrigued members of the Widnes / Runcorn public become St Helens fans if the club moves to the area?
Imagine if Widnes hosts the Saints Wigan derby, or Saints Leeds. The place would be rocking and the quality of rugby on the field will be as good as anyone in the Borough will have seen since the early 90s.
 '"
I would take that another way. If people do go then you could argue that there is a market people for people in the borough to watch Superleague, thus enhancing our chances.
People have and will continue to watch other teams such as Saints, my nephew for one - partly due to their success and partly due to John Stankevitch becoming [ipart of the family[/i.
It works both ways. Plenty from St Helens and the Wire borderlands came to watch Widnes when we were [isuccessful[/i (some continue to do so). We can still [ipoach[/i this type of fan should we regain a place at the top table. |

| Quote richardviking="richardviking"On the other hand, if Saints can fill the Stobart and we can't four years down the line, what does it say for the growth prospects of the Vikings as a SL entity?'"
Why don't you put it forward that Saints ST holders get discounted tickets for your games then and try to attract some of their fans to your games while they are playing there. |

Would you as a club keep all the concessions money or does it go to the Council as I guess the rent does ?

I'd guess Saints rent the ground and get ticket money and any bar sales etc will go to the council as I think they do now! We own a decent % of stadium I believe but don't know if we get anything out of it extra tbh. |

The council fully own the stadium, the council also own a percentage of the club so I guess it works out that we own a percentage of the ground but to all intense purposes we don't.
However we have negotiated a fairly good deal so that we keep some, if not all of the money from the concessions etc.
In the case of Saints... pretty much all the money would go into the council coffers. |

Isn't Saints new ground well into the building side and all going well? (Makes a joke of Salfords plans when you look at time scale etc). |
