A Day of Activities and Entertainment
The Saints Community Development Foundation (SCDF) will be at the heart of the action, offering a range of activities for all ages. From the 'Perfect Pass Wall' to other interactive games, fans can test their skills and engage with the community. The SCDF FanZone, located outside the Keiron Cunningham statue, will be a hub of pre-match excitement, providing a perfect space for fans to immerse themselves in the rugby league atmosphere.
One of the highlights will be the showcase of skills by the Wheelchair team. These players, part of the Development League, will demonstrate their expertise and inspire fans with their talent. It's a chance to support and celebrate the inclusive nature of the sport.
Behind the Scenes: Academy and First Team Action
The Saints Academy will be in action, providing an insight into the future of the club. Their match against Wakefield Trinity will offer a glimpse into the talent pipeline, as these young players showcase their skills. Meanwhile, the First Team will take on Castleford Tigers in the Betfred Super League, rounding off the day with a highly anticipated contest.
Fan Experience: Food, Music, and More
For fans, the experience extends beyond the matches. With food trucks offering a variety of delicious options, fans can fuel up before the games. Local favorites like Coffee King and Saints' Outside Bar with Lost Lager will provide a unique taste of the local culture. Kids will have their own fun with inflatables and face painting, ensuring an enjoyable day for the whole family.
The entertainment continues with live performances by local songwriter Jack Dean and Saints' resident DJ Earl Raff. These musical acts will add to the festive atmosphere, creating a memorable experience for all.

The LDSL team will also take center stage, participating in fun games against local rivals Wigan Warriors. This half-time entertainment will keep the crowd engaged and highlight the importance of community involvement.
Additionally, the Community Cashback initiative offers a special opportunity for local amateur rugby league clubs. By purchasing tickets through their associated clubs, fans can support their community and earn a percentage of the ticket fee for their club. It's a win-win situation, fostering a sense of community and engagement.
