Capacity
The total capacity of the stadium is just under 18,000 with two main standing stands and two seated stands. The east stand and the two most easterly blocks of the north stand will be allocated to the away supporters, the north and south stands are all seated and the west stand is entirely standing. The capacity is broken down as follows
The North stand has 4,718 seats, none standing and 46 disabled seats.
The South Stand (sponsored by Solar King) has 5,233 seats, none standing and 55 disabled seats. It also holds the St Helens RLFC club shop, a bar and the club ticket office.
The East stand has 81 seats, 3,899 standing and 5 disabled seats (this will be mainly for the away fans).
The West stand (sponsored by Hattons Solicitors) has 118 seats, 3,796 standing and 29 disabled seats.
Total seats is 10,150. Total standing is 7,695. Total disabled seats are 135. There will be approximately 4,000 places available for away supporters via mainly the east stand and a small section in the north stand (at the club's discretion), whereas Saints fans will get all of the west and south stand and most of the north stand - in 2012 the entire capacity of the west stand was allocated to season-ticket holders.

Famous quotes containing the word capacity:
“What distinguished man from animals was the human capacity for symbolic thought, the capacity which was inseparable from the development of language in which words were not mere signals, but signifiers of something other than themselves. Yet the first symbols were animals. What distinguished men from animals was born of their relationship with them.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“He has a capacity for enjoyment so vast that he gives away great chunks to those about him, and never even misses them.... He can take you to a bicycle race and make it raise your hair.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can’t know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do—after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world’s anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
