One corner is for the scoreboard and one is for the big screen. So it's going to be of the size that will fit into one of those corners.

In other words, anyone's guess as yet. The stadium isn't finished!

I dont understand why people are saying we are getting a scoreboard and a big screen.
Surely the big screen will also be the scoreboard.
My understanding is we will have a video screen installed all the time, not just a temporary one for sky matches.

Modern video walls open up all sorts or promotional and marketing opportunities.
For example if a match is sponsored by Go compare then we can have adverts played on the screen with that annoying bloke blaring out GO COMPARE!!! over the tannoy.

Argh now i get it.....KFC have decided to dust up their branch instead of leavin it to fester.I wonder if other establishments will capitalise on saints stadium proximity?Im thinking Raven at last the old grandad of St.Helens pubs will it get a geniune TLC make over instead of the tatty refurbishments its endured.I think Weatherspoons will sweep up,but as Raven is closest to the access bridge will it become the 'Black Bull' of the east side of town?

Where is this? I didn't know there was a KFC near the new ground?

I'm aware of the Maccies on the roundabout and the Burger King on the retail park, but where is the KFC?
