    Talking Saints coolest fact

    Hi guys, I'm new here (hope this isn't a duplicate thread), so I thought to start off, I'd ask, what's the coolest/most random fact about the Saints you know of?

    I'll go first, not sure if it's true, but Coors sponsored the Saints for just one game in what was probably the shortest sponsorhip in the history of sponsorships!

    Thanks

    The "Derby Game" is a title often applied to many sporting events throughout the land, but it is little known that the there are only 2 events which rightly are entitled to be so called - The Derby horse race and the Saints v Wigan match, both of which were conferred the title by the Lord Derby, decades ago.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but Coors is/was a product made by McEwans, who were the sponsor for several years. They did have Coors on the jersey for the 41-6 game but it wasn't a different sponsorship.

    Most successful team over the Super League era in both the number of trophies won and the all time league table.

    Saints were the last champions in the old millennium and the first champions in the new millennium!

    Despite years of trying and speaking to various Professors, no one still knows what "WT" on the traning tops and System 888 stand for.

    Warm-up Top?
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Here's another one that not many people know

    St Helens won the last ever derby at Wigan's JJB Stadium (although we don't constantly go on about it like Wigan do about the last one at Knowsley Road)

    You mean, before it was rebranded to the Dave Dome?

    Or are you on about Tesco Car Park?

    You confused me because you said "Wigan's JJB Stadium". Obviously it was a typo and you meant to say "Wigan Athletic's JJB Stadium"...

    How very true.

    It is a crap fact but a useful one to counter Wigan's lame "We won the last derby at KR - WE MADE HISTORY!!!" claims

    Although Leeds are trying to claim being the most successful team, but are picking and choosing which titles to include and not including any amount of time
