The Totally Wicked Stadium[7] is a multi-purpose stadium in St Helens, Merseyside, England. Known as Langtree Park until 2017, it has a capacity of over 18,000 and is the home ground of rugby league club St Helens R.F.C. and football club Liverpool F.C. Women. The stadium was granted planning permission in 2008 and construction started in 2010.[8]

The first rugby league match played at the stadium was between St. Helens and Widnes on Friday 20 January 2012. St. Helens won the opening game by 42–24 and moved in ready for the 2012 Super League season.[9]

From the 2024/25 season, Liverpool FC Women will play at the stadium, after signing a 10 year deal.[10]

Plans and construction

The proposed plans came in three parts. The proposed parts were:

  1. The transformation of the derelict former United Glass site to create a new 18,000-capacity stadium for St. Helens as well as a 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) Tesco Extra next to the rugby ground. The stadium itself was to be a seating and standing arena with an oval shaped roof extending out from the south stand.
  2. The redevelopment of the existing town centre Tesco store in Chalon Way into alternative high quality retail use, enhancing the retail available in St Helens town centre.
  3. The development of the existing St. Helens site at Knowsley Road to create high quality residential accommodation, regenerating the local area.

The club stressed that if one of the three parts fell through, the whole project would have been in jeopardy. However councillors in St Helens approved the new Saints' stadium. Members of the Planning Committee endorsed the triple planning application granting permission subject to terms and conditions and a health and safety risk assessment

Demolition of the former UGB Glass plant began in late January 2009, with construction due to begin after the clearance of the 46-acre (190,000 m2) site had been completed.[11][12] In July 2010, the building contractor Barr Construction Ltd was selected to build the new stadium.[13] Construction commenced on 23 August 2010, with the Tesco store completed in October 2011 and the stadium in November 2011.[14]

Entrance to Langtree Park in 2012

Layout

The stadium has two terraced stands and two seated, the pitch is grass although the touchline has some astro-turf. The match day hospitality consists of the sale of the Saints Gold beer which is served inside the ground at a number of kiosks and in the Redvee cafe bar. The stadium has a large Saints badge on the outside with the recently restored town motto: Ex Terra Lucem underneath. A bronze statue of former club captain Keiron Cunningham stands over the main entrance.[15]

The stadium can be accessed via a number of routes, including the Steve Prescott bridge, named in memory of Steve Prescott MBE, a former St. Helens and Hull F.C. player renowned for his fund raising contributions to charity.

North Stand

Capacity – 4,718 (seated)
The North Stand runs parallel to the South Stand along the side of the pitch. The stand is completely seated and has SAINTS V spelt out in the seats and is occupied by home fans.

South Stand

Capacity – 5,233 (seated)
The South Stand is the main stand of the ground and holds the club's hospitality boxes, tunnel and player changing rooms, ticket office, bar and club shop as well as the TV gantry.

East Stand

Capacity – 3,899 (standing)
The East Stand is located behind the goal posts and is completely terraced. The stand also houses the score board in the North East corner and the stand is used by away fans.

The highest recorded attendance for a match so far was 17,980 against Wigan on 6 April, with an average attendance of 14,212 for the 2012 season.[16]

Association Football

All of Liverpool U19s NextGen matches in the 2012–13 season were held at Langtree Park, as were many Under 21s matches.[21]

From 2024, Liverpool FC Women will play at the Totally Wicked Stadium, moving from Prenton Park. The stadium is expected to be re-branded, to cater to both St Helens and LFC Women. Because of this new partnership, the pitch will be replaced with a "Premier League standard pitch".[10]

Sponsorship

It was announced on 15 November 2011 that primary developers, the Langtree Group, had gained the naming rights and that the stadium would be named Langtree Park.[9] In 2016 the club signed a five-year deal with Totally Wicked, a vaping and e-cigarettes company, for the naming rights to the stadium, effective in early 2017.[22] In 2022 the deal extended until 2025. [23]

Notably, the stadium is referred to as "St Helens Stadium" by Liverpool FC.
