    Smile Langtree Park mural - slight mistake?

    Bit of a pedantic one but something I noticed when I was in the main reception at Langtree Park the other day.
    On entering I saw two murals on the right-hand side wall from where you go in at the entrance, one was of KC scoring the last league try at Knowsley Road in 2010 against Cas and further down glanced at another of Soliola scoring what it said was “Saints' first league try at Langtree Park”.
    Upon closer inspection I realised the picture on it was from the pre-season friendly we played against Widnes and you can see a Widnes defender (looks like Paddy Flynn) in the picture in a red shirt.
    I wasn't sure at the time but after checking Sia did score Saints' first competitive try against Salford in the first league game as well as scoring Saints' first in the friendly v Widnes. Perhaps they got the two mixed up.

    Wondering if anyone else had noticed or if this has been picked up on before?

    I have never been in the Main Entrance so I wouldn't be knowing



    I was always taught to respect my elders,
    but it keeps getting harder to find one!

    I cared enough to do some digging during my lunch break.
    Widnes did play in red that day.
    Salford were in green.

    Anyone know any good mural painters?

    When I first went to the ground after it was opened and saw that I clicked straight away that they made a mistake. Told the girl at the desk who then rang up someone upstairs who was like no that was the first league game. I couldn't be arsed arguing but you would think they would get a detail like that right.

    Glad I'm not the only one then!

    Ha, maybe we should leave it - a touch of human error in our perfect rugby stadium
    Though, in seriousness, things like that really should be right.

    How about: instead of trying to re-paint the defender's shirt, someone nips in with some tippex and blanks out the word league, so that

    "SAINTS FIRST LEAGUE TRY AT LP"

    becomes

    "SAINTS FIRST TRY AT LP"
