The next question for the SMManager is the stadium to get a sponsors name or is it going to be known as the 'new saints stadium', as per the conference brochures?

Anybody know what year this is or who's in the photo. There's some great pictures of old RL grounds in there aswell, even one of St Helens Town ground.

My guess is about 1988-90. The 'Newsline' hoarding on the pop side back wall, it looks like (correct me if I'm wrong) the 2nd generation of Hoofeys 'Scaff' which was a permanent steel structure painted black and another of my bug bears always comes to the front of my mind when I see the old 'St.Helens RFC' wrought iron letters on the Main Stand. Why some bright spark decided to just chuck them away when they re-sited the tunnel leaves me completely dumbfounded. Years of tradition and heritage lost without a moments thought.
The other thing I noticed was the Labbatts advert, didn't we have that as a one off shirt sponsor v Wigan around the time of Jarrod McCracken?
The "dug out" was transfered to the Pop side in October 1982. so it is after that.
We did have 100% success rate in the Coors shirt. Can't remember who we played but it was Boxing Day and we won 41-6

Hahaha you can tell the stadium is nearly done, this has turned into a chat thread.
Have people seen that stadium tours for ST holders has been unveiled as being in the second week of December. Hope its before the 14th otherwise I might be busy due to my little boy being due on that day.
will the bars be open during the stadium tours, serious question.
Been out for a trip to Tesco and the New Stadium this morning. I'ts the first time I have seen the stadium so close up and like everyone else says it is awesome. Tesco car parking was fine hardly any cars on really and very easy to get on and off. Can't wait to get inside now with a full house.
