    Default Watts enlists Sports Minister for Saints stadium talks

    ST HELENS North MP Dave Watts will be joined by Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe for a meeting with bosses of supermarket chain Morrisons this week in a bid to persuade the company to drop its opposition to a planning application which includes a new Saints stadium.

    Keep the news rolling - That is all we have been asking for (If you know what I mean). At least now we know that something is happening and it gives us a bit more hope.

    Finally a meeting! I really cannot understand the reason for morrissons opposing and i think the objection because the the planning applications must be dealt with on their merits, within the parameters of planning law and planning guidence is a bit of bull. It's a business so it's all about £££!

    Morrisons need to think about the reality of the stadium, and tesco's being built on the UG site. On match days who is really going to go there for their weekly shop??? Think of the congestion of both home and away fans combined who travel to the matches by car! *i'm driving the long way around going home to avoid this congestion and ooo there's a morrisons, why don't i just do the weekly shop there instead?* Before you know it morrisons will be overcome by new customers as the general public realise that tesco is actually really expensive compared to other supermarkets, and the location of the morrisons stores is much more convenient for them.

    If morrison want to object then let them take over tescos situation and put their money where TESCOs are putting it.

    If I were Morrisons I'd sponsor the new stadium. Morrisons Stadium in bloomin' great big letters around the stadium. That would really wind up Tescos next door and it would win a lot of custom in the town.

    Oh and by the way, I'd already posted this Watts story in the correct thread at the top of the page.

    The MP's are only elected at General Ellections. The ones in May are local elections and irrespective of Party Political allegance which local politician is going to not say "I support the stadium application". If they said they opposed it it would be like Turkeys voting for Christmas.
