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:
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Just as we are learning to value and conserve the air we breathe, the water we drink, the energy we use, we must learn to value and conserve our capacity for nurture. Otherwise, in the name of human potential we will slowly but surely erode the source of our humanity.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
