Screw you buddy
Just the general whiff of decay and desolation about much of the place I guess. And the massive chav and knuckle scraping lowlife element that infests the town doesn't help. Throw in a healthy dose of endemic bigotry from a sizeable proportion of the population and bingo - a horrible place is born.
Nothampton has it's share of decay, chav scumbags and miscellaneous -isms as well of course but to nothing like the same concentrations as 'Tellins does.

The pub on the corner is called The Albion. Nice big ale house just two minutes walk from the ground. Also one further down called The Cricketers. Or at least that's what they used to be called. I agree though, they could both be full of Wire knobs.
Having a drink near the ground this season could be real problem. There will be next to no walk up supporters (apart from Widnes fans who get free Saints tickets with their own season tickets). There's gonna effectively 10,000 away fans at every game who have travelled by car, bus etc. Parking will be a nightmare too.
Go smash 'em guys. I'm sure most Saints fans will behind the other red vee against Wigan...

Not heard the highlighted bit, and cant see it stated anywhere on the Widnes website.
How will that work then as Saints fans have dedicated seats allocated?
Also if this is the case, then would it not be better for Saints fans to purchase a Widnes season ticket for the forthcoming season as a family ticket can be had for just £193 at Widnes.
IS this therefore just gossip?
Yet you seem to form the most awful opinions on a town, and it's population, that you haven't lived in for 23 years, and only pop back to watch the rugby team, and visit family.
They're not the opinions of an "intelligent, well educated guy" they're the opinions of a knob, no matter how you like to dress it up.
Whatever... You just keep yourself warm at nights with your silly arguments, preposterously formed opinions and brainless insults if it makes you happy. I'll just keep on forming my own opinions based on my experiences of visiting the town regularly and knowing and frequently speaking to lots of people who live there instead if that's all right with you?
Perhaps there are other opinions I've formed through first hand experience that you'd like to insult me for and instead try and argue that I should instead have another opinion based on no truth whatsoever. Let's try this topical one on for starters - in my experience winter tends to be cold. Please feel free to now tell me that I'm a t**t for thinking that, that I'm talking through my a**e for having that opinion and that it's actually warm, so there.
Anyway, as I've said, St. Helens is indeed populated by a very high number of mouth breathing, knuckle scraping lowlifes. Thank you for so ably demonstrating my point for me first hand. I am in your debt, as always.
Why has this thread gone so randomly off topic, I hope the St George fans don't read it, as it would certainley put me off meeting up with our fans.
I could have been misinformed. Half my family are from Widnes, I was a with couple of my uncles last week (who I might add are NOT season ticket holders), that's what they told me but your comments make more sense. To be honest I thought the same. Maybe they got it wrong, maybe Saints STH can go to Widnes games. That would make more sense.

McManus cider, MMMmmmmm refreshing
Northampton Saint is spot on we do have knuckle draggers is St Helens, and a council who have allowed too many hostels to circulate the centre. Now Northampton that multi cultural centre of grooming of teenage girls, and with a thriving red light area fuelled by er drugs. Not much in it pal really. As for Australia its hot its sweaty and you will always be an outsider having barbies with ex pats talking about hhome
Fair dinkum guys! Handbags at 20 paces!! Can we get back on topic please? I respect the fact you all are staunch about where you are from and where you are at, but can you save the hijacking for another thread? My ovaries are hurting.
I am sure the whole of St Helens will be cheering on the St George team, and no doubt there will be St Helens fans in atendance giving it a " come on you saintsssss " and sticking the fingers to the backward pie fans
Enjoy the trip to all georgie fans, bring yer thermals and enjoy the fantastic exchange rate, you can afford to drink and eat for a change now.
GOOD LUCK THE VEE
Good use of pictures there. I could just as easily produce a picture of the Lake District/Cotswolds etc and compare it to a shitty town in Australia.
People like you make me laugh, you emigrate but still feel fit to slag off your roots. A couple of my mates live in Oz and NZ but just enjoy their life without feeling the need to brag or to denigrate others. Lets face it, the big draw is the climate and even then its not always rosy. Am sure the people of Queensland and Brisbane will testify to that.
I am a well travelled person who has also lived in London for a few years also so don't tar me with someone who has never left St Helens. I could emigrate tomorrow but appreciate my close family and mates and have a great social life that means I don't miss the idea of moving. If it suits you great, but stop finding ways of putting the boot in when there are others who are naturally proud of their roots.
If Australia's climate was like ours, it would be nothing like the same.
Oh I will say one thing, the food must be great over there as judging by the pics you post, you certainly eat enough of it.
