History

The ground’s made up of 4 stands: North, South, East and West with the corners being filled in 2011 on the East side to increase the capacity. The North Stand is the biggest stand and has hospitality boxes, changing rooms and benches for players. More hospitality boxes can be found in the East Stand which is behind the goal posts.

A TV and scoreboard sits on the South Stand which is a fully seated stand. The West Stand is where the away fans usually sit but doesn’t have corners that are filled in, however, there are plans to do so in the near future if the capacity needs to be increased.

Six Rugby League Challenge Cup semifinals have taken place at the ground with St Helens, Huddersfield, Catalans, Wigan, Leeds and Salford all making appearances there. The ground has also hosted five Championship Grand Finals in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Five International rugby league matches have taken place between the years of 2004 and 2013. English vs Ireland, Australia vs New Zealand, England vs Exiles, New Zealand vs Samoa and Fiji vs Samoa all took place in different competitions at the ground. In 2021, three World Cup matches will take place at the Halliwell Jones Stadium which are New Zealand vs Lebanon, Papua New Guinea vs Cook Islands and Samoa vs France.

Liverpool’s reserve team played at the ground between 2007 and 2009 as did many games of the Women’s 2005 European Championship. The ground has been used for a BBC One TV show called Candy Cabs in 2011 along with hosting an Autumn Pops Concert with Three Sporting Tenors.
