    Question - who did you send it to? Have you tried emailing Mike Appleton? (sorry if you get even more work Mike!) He's pretty sharp at responding and I'm sure will pass things on to whom it may concern

    I e-mailed Mike about this recently - silence I'm afraid.

    You didn't send it to Knowsley Road by any chance?

    Seriously. The club should be responding to these, even if it's just a 'holding' reply. Keep at 'em!

    A simple press release to the St Helens Star or the wider media would do. Look at Liverpool, they just did a press release on how they are getting closer to deciding what to do with their stadium plans. It essentially meant nothing but it at least shows that they are aware that there is an issue. Saints could do the same with this, just to lower the levels of annoyance from some of us.

    It would help a lot!...But anyone who bothers to write a letter should be getting a personal response of some sort. It's basic customer care.

    Agreed, it's the bare minimum to be expected really. Generic response, first class stamp, not hard really is it?

    I too have written to eammon on two occasions about other issues sending them by recorded delivery and marking them private and confidential and didn't get a reply. Waste of time.

    Yes, I went down to the ticket office on Wednesday, and asked if we could re-locate to the South Stand, as this option was not available when we purchased our 5 yr tickets. Was informed that only Block C was unallocated, but we could change seats IF Southstand season tickets were not re - newed , So will have to wait until season ticket re-newal time, when I suppose many Northstanders will be on the lookout for un-renewed tickets.

    It seems to me that the management did not mind reading these columns when they asked for all of the womderful photos that had been taken of the stadiums progress in build but now are very reluctant to admit they know about what is being said about it,s failings.

    To be fair, Mike App, who asked for the photos, is not responsible for the "failings" neither is he responsible for Eamonn's correspondence.

    Yeah, to be honest, that's a very valid point. So with that, scrap my point above in post 212.

    I didn,t say Mike was along with everyone who has had any dealings with him i have time for him, the point i made still stands though, the management, and i am sure it is obvious i direct this not at one person are still in this case are just ignoring what they where so willing to feed of previously.

    But you're missing the point. The "management" did not ask for the photos. Mike App did.

    The rest of your point, yes they are apparently ignoring us, is valid but by using the photos as an example, you are chastising Mike App which is unfair as he is very communicable with the fans.

    Well he hasn't responded to my e-mail. I'll try again - see if he is communicable this week !

    Ah...

    Don't want to sound too much like the Mike App appreciation society but judging by his Facebook pictures of the Yorkshire Dales, I think he may have been off last week. Hopefully you will get your response on Monday.

    As one of the " Mike App" appreciation society as i have stated, and without having any intention of getting into a discussion about it, having staed that my piont is valid then i would say that anyone would appreciate that a "management " does not consist of any one person and so it follows that more than one person was responsible for approving the use of the photos. I will not say any more on the matter, if Mike is on a well deserved holiday i hope he has a good time.

    There'll be a lovely cool breeze in the stadium today. Shame games in Manchester in an enclosed sun trap.

    Doesn't mean to say that those at fault shouldn't get a damned good panning for it though.

    Have to admit I am boring myself talking about it now and looks like the club aren't interested in discussing it with its fans. However I still am staggered that, accepting all the positives of achieving such a build in difficult financial times, we are left with a £30 million stadium (according to the club) which has some major fundamental issues. We kept being told all the way through that it is a design and build job etc. Question is did the designers speak to the builders and vice versa
