St Helens RLFC have been given full planning permission to build a new 18,000 capacity stadium without any need for a drawn-out public inquiry.
The club anticipate the stadium being ready for 2011 and will be built on the former United Glass site. Knowsley Road, where the club have been playing for 116 years, will be redeveloped for housing.

“This is excellent news for the club and its fans,” said club chairman Eamonn McManus.
“We are now looking at an identifiable timeframe and have avoided the onerous costs of a central government call-in.”
“This is another important hurdle out of the way and we look forward to the work and challenges ahead,” said McManus.
“The future of the club and of the town is looking very healthy indeed.”
