. . . Spare a thought for those owners/staff who work in The Black Bull, Eccleston Bowling Club, The Bird, Triplex Club, Greenal's Club, The Crispy Cod et al - imagine the takings compared to the corresponding fixture last year.

I think the Crispy Cod is doing ok just now as it has a constant stream of workmen in there! But undoubtedly all the rest will miss the boost to income Saints would give them every other week or thereabouts.
I don't know what I'm going to do without a pint in the Greenall's club beforehand.
Have a pint somewhere else I guess BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME. Sob, sniff.
Burning with optimism's flames.
Its weird because for the first time for a long long time I will be like a fish out of water. I have never been to the Stobart to watch a game before, so have no idea what the traffic will be like, where to park, which way I am going to go, where the pubs are etc.
Me and the brother in law had our own routine at KR, parked in the same place every home game, left at the same time, pint in the Triplex etc. Tonight will be strange until we get used to it, then it will be all change again next year!
I reckon we should knock it on the head, all pile down Greenalls, get leathered n watch it on the telly. Naughton Park has always bin a dive.
I'll certainly miss my pre-match drinking sesh in the bull beer garden. Hot or cold, it was still full of Saints and away speccies! Only place i know who'll have a BBQ in February lol
Can we not take it to Widnes too?
St. Helens RLFC.... Its your team... And your team needs YOU! :saint:
I will still be having my pre-match drink at Greenall's. Opening at 5:30pm on match nights, then taking their coach to the Halton Stadium.
Then back to Greenall's after the match to have further beverages and re-watch the match on TV.
So the only thing I will be missing, apart from drinking time, is not being able to leave Greenall's at 7:45pm to get to The Pop for kick-off.
Phil Vievers...Balls...Joan Collins...Try...Orgasmic... RH the living legend.
I have 3 student friends that came a few of the bigger games last season with me with 1 of them starting to come most home games, he came salford with me last week but now that there are no student tickets at saints he is not willing to pay £23.50 and will watch it on sky instead.
Still in The George till last minute. Diff is last minute is now 7PM and coach from straight outside the door rather than a cab at 7:55 LOL
The George for match day drinks and away coaches.
Supporting us supporting Saints.
No more getting the train to thatto heath and going the springfield and then on to the bull
And now I have to run like hell to get the 22.05 back to the fly
My son is gutted, he loved his pre match game of RL on the bowling green of the bacl bull, the Saints match was an aside for him to be honest, it was something that got in the way of his game in the Bull... no idea where to take him in Widnes for a kick about with other saints lads...
anyone got kids and find a boozer with space for a game, let me know. Also a pace that lets us in afterwards to, I dont mind my lad staying out till 3am, he has no nurery in the morning you see
Syd, be nice to your lad. I've met him and he is less nursery age appropriate than you.... xx
