I know we've now got our own version of the Jackson statue, but come on, really?!

I'd rather that than have our stadium named after Dave Whelan to be honest!

Thought this was going to be about Kevin Brown.

Me too!

T otally W icked @ S aints.

How fitting.

That's mean and uncalled for, after all he owns the stadium. Unlike you and others on here I think Dave Whelan has great regard for our club. Obviously he is going to put his own club first when there is a conflict of interest but I do think he will do his utmost to accommodate us. One thing is for certain remarks such as you have made are not going to help keep up good relations and whether you like it or not we need to keep him on side.

It is a forum and you are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong you are

Does anybody really care what somebody elses stadium is called?

Yeah, when it's funny.

If this is true, it's a pity. I quite liked Langtree Park ... thought it had a whiff of nostalgia about it.

Club record sponsorship deal for the club, five year deal & an opportunity to re-name bringing in yet more money in 2022. Stadium is a cash cow, events & company conferences etc are a real money spinner.

Meanwhile your renting & paying out.

Hilarious!!

Still not as funny as the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Enjoy your totally wicked stadium, we'll enjoy our shiny trophy.

And I'd rather rent a house than own a shed.

Kevin Brown to Wire it is their year now.

Good on yer, wicked innit

On big money signings like Tommy Lee and Marty Smith of course! In all seriousness though as I posted when Saints signed players like Tommy Lee and co, I think that's a worry for the game as a whole. If a big club like Saints can only muster rejects then the game as a whole can't be in a great shape. The more scary thing is I actually think the players they've signed will be good enough to improve them and take them close to honours. This deal for the stadium just adds to those fears for the overall game.Yes the figures may be ok by modern standards but have some dignity!

I don't think many people are happy at Saints, with either the name of the ground or the calibre of two players, you have mentioned, I certainly am not, but the figure i have heard for the naming rights of the stadium were far to good to turn down, Matty Smith will be ok, as he was for you, a player who probably is only truly respected by his peers.

NK here is the conundrum.
How much is this record sponsorship actually worth. If it's so good why not release the figure?
Did Langtree actually pay anything for the naming of the stadium or was it part of contract for building the stadium?

Saints new kit sponsors for their home kit is actually a company who has as one of their major shareholders a major shareholder and director at Saints, Mike Coleman. In effect Saints are sponsoring themselves as they couldn't get a major shirt sponsor when Typhoo pulled out.

You keep signing those record deals, winning nowt and losing millions.

That team over the Lump will keep making profits and lifting championships, in their rented stadium.

Now that's hilarious

The end of the day, it's our stadium and we will obviously go to the biggest offer for naming rights.

The name doesn't mean anything.

Couldn't agree more, was funny at first but I must admit if it brings in extra revenue who cares. Although no where near the same spot light, but Wigan's Orrell base has had some weird names over the past few years and in this day money talks

what the name of our stadi........oh right

Exactly

I usually agree with most of your posts and actully come across well most of the time but I strongly disagree with this post.

I think most saints fans are pretty happy with the business we've done regarding our signings. Let's all be honest here, the days of big money signings and quality aussies are over.

Ryan Morgan is a good solid centre and will go well in super league. We've lacked balance in the centre for years but we now have Percival and Morgan who will both give us a threat on the edges.

Matty smith isn't a Cooper Cronk or Shaun Johnson but he's just won the grand final wirh your club and your fans are very harsh on Smith.

Douglas and Walker are to big hard working touch props that will compliment amor Walmsley and Thompson very well. The props are now up there with any In the league. Both showed up very well for Scotland against England, kiwis and oz.

Tommy Lee isn't a big name and probably not good enough for the 17 but he's cover at 7, 9 and 13. To many times we flog the hell out of Roby as we have no hooker but when robes needs a break he will step in. He can also cover the halves along with young Richardson. Over the past 3 years we've had Walsh, Fages, Turner, Wilkin, Wello and even Flanagan cover our halves as we had no cover. I know you will come back with why not throw young kids in but it doesn't always work that way.

We've brought in experience and leadership and we lacked that last year.

Sargison, clubb, Matty smith, Willie isa, the ugly prop you bring off bench with long hair (can't think of name), gelling was all bargain basement signings and didn't turn out to bad did they ?

Big question marks over your signings too. TL is getting on now and very injury prone. Was Burgess just a one season wonder as he looked awful in the NRL?
