Trolling about our fantastic bridge, poor even by your standards. Especially ironic when you consider the tiny bridge outside the DW which goes over the canal.

I'm not sure which thread to post this on but as nobody is taking any photos of the stadium at present I thought here would be the most likely.

[url=http://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/9494481.Saints_say_they_will_sort_stadium____niggles___/The Star has written a piece on feedback from last Friday[/url which clarifies everything I think.

Does anybody know if the Cunningham statue and Langtree sign just above is lit up permanently at night outside of match evenings. This is for a planned photo shoot.

I'm pretty sure I've driven past and those lights have been turned off.

the sign itself is turned off when there isnt an event either a game or something in the fnction rooms , otherwise the lights for the statue seem to be on all the time when its dark

Mrs G , Wirral Saint myself and Wirral Saint junior went on the stadium tour this afternoon and it was superb , the guide was helpful informative very patient with all the people dawdling at the back , and the meal at the end was magnificent well worth £15 ,

first thing we saw was this magnificent crest behind the reception desk


we then went to the academy changing rooms I had not realised we had 4 changing rooms, the guide said that under no circumstances were the academy players allowed in the first team dressing room, (unless they are playing with the first team of course) to give them an incentive and push them harder to make it

still very nicely appointed though


and of course the first team changing room with warm up area











we made our way through the tunnel to pitchside



i tol Wirral Saint he had a long wait for the next match but he wouldnt listen



walking round the concourse we noticed these TV`s mounted strangely on the wall the guide told us its because they will be split in two with the top portion showing ads and the bottom showing the game



everyone was well impressed with the murals around the concourse

Voll



Scully


Alan Prescott


Newlove


Harry Pinner


Karalius



we then went upstairs to the function rooms , well they are superb



one other i must mention is Alf Ellaby



I for one never knew his ashes were scattered at KR

on the walls up the stairs are the some spectacular pictures and in the lounges near the function rooms





and finally LUNCH!!!



and very yummy it was , I had pork with crackling Mrs G had Chicken , boiled spuds carrots peas and cabbage and for afters sticky toffee pudding with custard terrific food and a superb day , oh one more thing , I had not heard of this but our guide told us some poor guy has a heart attack during the Widnes match and is still in intensive care , I am sure we wish him well and a spedy recovery but the amazing thing is that it took 15 minutes between him having the attack and him being in an ambulance on the way to Whiston, so well done to the St Johns and all who helped

The red flooring looks like they are three spike designs but two havent been finished, unless that is going to be finished in flowers on the soil.

It's a pity the old railway can't be converted into another pedestrian walkway.

The railway companies wont sell the land because it links shaw street station ( St Helens Central ) to St Helens Junction.

What's the plan for the land to the South West of stadium? From those photos it appears to have been cleared.

the plans talk of phase 2 which includes cafes , hotel (maybe) , bars etc , Langtree werent too specific when the Phase 1 plans were revealed

Not really is it, 75% talking about losing the GF and and awful interview with James roby and 25% of the same shots or shots of Eamonn.

I would have taken the cameras around the stadium and done loads of different shots of the place, didn't seem like much effort. Perhaps i'm being too harsh.

I agree, although i always watch the SL interviews and i've even subscribed to that channel on YT i do find them very amateur, there's one interviewer who sounds like a young lad, i watched the Oz and Kiwi interviews he was doing at the airport in the 4N, he asked all the same question but to different guys and seeing as most sportsmen are renta quotes it was just dull.

IMO they should have used Wilkin who is much more articulate.

Shenton is probabaly the Saints player who can string together the most words in a sentence without an "ermmmm" or a "Y'know". Wilkin likes to think of himelf as a media man, but can't see him putting Clarkey out of a job just yet. Mind you, Sky have employed the rat, so there is hope for anyone.

Surely Clarkey's employment is secure for life, now he has his Margin Meter.

New signage on the south stand today , pictures on Redvee , i think it looks really cool
"St Helens RFC" on either side of the badge underneath is "Ex Terra Lucem" and below that is "Club of Legends since 1873" very snazzy i think and I love the Ex Terra Lucem

love it

Where's the 'L' gone??????????

its moved to the start of Legends

Seriously though, Historically we've always been St.Helens RFC, we didnt change when we helped start Rugby league in 1896, and why would we, we still play rugby, and at its best!

That looks bloody awesome!

I seen that today and it is awesome!

They was putting the bases in for the CCTV poles on the path leading towards the new bridge.

No cladding to be seen anywhere
