As they prepare to kick off the new Super League season, the club say they have collaborated with supporters to make changes to the matchday experience that will be debuted for St Helens’ blockbuster Round One visit.
They include brand new floodlights which will also deliver immersive pre-match light shows – a big part of efforts to enhance pre-match entertainment.
A new matchday playlist has been put together along with a new “hype video” to welcome the players onto the field before a game alongside the light show, while more flags and drums will be available for supporters to use.
Fans who arrive early will also have the chance to win prizes in a new ‘Gerin To Win’ competition as part of an effort to get people into the ground earlier, while there will also be a new, head-to-head half-time challenge.
Heathcotes remain the club’s matchday catering partner but new food and drink offerings have been introduced, including a partnership with local brewery 4Ts to produce a local IPA.
The draught lager has been changed from Carslberg to Kronenbourg 1664, with Guinness Zero also now included as an option and as part of a new food and drink deal, fans can now get two draught pints for £10, two bottled lagers for £6 and a pie and a pint for £10 up to half an hour before kick off.
Food and drink will also be sold at rebranded kiosks with Wolf and Warrington-themed names.
In terms of the club’s media output, the WireTV subscription service will be brought to an end next month and replaced by an expanded, free-to-view YouTube offering, with full match replays and live streams of Pathways matches available via YouTube membership. A new WhatsApp Broadcast channel is also to be launched.
And supporters will also have noticed scaffolding around the outside of the stadium as work continues to improve its interior and exterior appearance.
