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 ?

Aye, something of a double-header Sunday or something.

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).
