Stadium for Cornwall

A New Stadium for St Helens!

Due to recent articles that have appeard in the local press, the Cornish Pirate’s managment have made this statement:

“The Cornish Pirates are fully supportive of a Stadium for Cornwall, which would house many other sports and facilities, not just rugby and soccer. We believe that such a stadium would bring great benefit to Cornwall and hope we would be one of the Clubs playing there. In the meantime we will continue to play at Camborne until the stadium is ready for use and, whilst we have had talks with Mr Heaney in the past, we are not party to his plans to develop a site at Polwhele“.

St Helens Rugby League Club propose a new 18,000 – capacity stadium.

　In summary, these developments are:

• The transformation of the derelict former United Glass site to create a new 18,000-capacity stadium for St Helens Rugby League Club, a 140,000 sq ft Tesco Extra, as well as associated public realm and infrastructure improvements which will go hand-in-hand with the development

• The redevelopment of the existing town centre Tesco store in Chalon Way into alternative high quality retail use, significantly enhancing and extending the town ’s retail offer

• The development of the existing St Helens Rugby League Club site at Knowsley Road to create high quality family housing, which will enhance the existing community.

Together, these developments will create thousands of new jobs and pump millions of pounds into the local economy, strengthening the borough ’s economic base.

They will also deliver increased civic pride, enhanced social inclusion and improved brand image for the town.

What they can achieve in St. Helens, we can also achieve in Cornwall, so sign the petition!
