LOYAL Saints fans might be feeling a little down about not being able to attend games when the rugby league season resumes next month...but they could still make an appearance at the stadiums in spirit.
Clubs from the BetFred Super League are giving supporters the chance to have their own ‘Fans From Home’ cut-outs.
Supporters, who are asked to wear club colours on any picture submitted via the online platform, can order fan cut-outs for £25 and help fill the stadiums with their faces during all behind closed doors fixtures throughout August, although this does not include Challenge Cup ties.
Profits from each sale go directly back to clubs, who have been hit hard by the pandemic and will suffer financially from no gate receipts for August's fixtures.
A statement on Saints' website read: "Each club has an extremely limited number available, so you’ll need to act quick.

"Deadline for orders is Sunday, July 26 ay 11.59pm at which point if we have not sold our allocation any remaining allocation will be released back to all clubs to sell on a first-come-first-served basis."

All cut-outs will be available for collection from Saints stadium via prior arrangement sometime in September.
