    Default Where have all the fans gone?

    Out of interest having seen the picture of knowsley road when we load up the new redvee. Brings back memories, i used to go into the corener to the left of the shop when you are looking at it. I used to stand on the corner as it was always rammed. Where have all these fans gone? Other than the West stand their are lots of gaps at The totally wicked stadium??

    Go to the coroner every week watching saints. Until we bring in Daryl Powell (what a squad he has built) we will always watch rubbish

    I think that the passage of time has dimmed your recollections - if you look at attendances over the last few years at Knowsley Road you'll find that there is not a great deal of difference with those at our current home. our current ground has a larger capacity than KR and seated areas always highlight available space compared with standing areas.

    Seriously why are you here? What do you gain from coming on here virtually every day and moaning? You can't possibly get any pleasure from being a "fan" so why bother?

    I think with the 5yr season ticket deal expired we might see a few more empty seats at the Wicked Langtree Stadium this year?

    Reports say not, as the number of ST's sold haven't reduced by much at all, but most of the people I know who bought longer-term ST's haven't bothered to renew.

    Guys i need you to learn to love me. I just feel the club is on a very slow decline and it upsets me which fills my mind with negativity. I would like to see more from them in every way. Some things they do are great but most things are poor. It has been proved time and time again that cunningham chats rubbish (as you think i do). Spirits are high guys the season is only a few days away.

    Some fantastic memories up there beneath the banners. Watching Wide to West from up there will stay with me forever.

    I think we have a hard core base of 8-10k now but the rest is down to the entertainment factor and hopefully things can only get better.

    Or how about Langtree Park? They can change the name but I don't have to use it.

    I still say Ambleside is in Westmorland, Coniston is in Lancashire and Widnes is in Lancashire. I may be some old git stick in the mud but I don't like change when it seeks to destroy our heritage. Off topic but why would anyone want to call the stadium by its new name?

    I'm not on it and I always stood there. Have I been edited out for cosmetic purposes?

    We also had times when Hull took over the popular side and we had some 7K crowds at Knowsley Road in the glory days. I never bought a drink at KR but at Langtree Wicked do da stadium it's 3 pints every game. Red vee bar I pass on that now.
