| The North Stand concourse could certainly do with some protection from the elements. Very wet and windy and standing pools of water is not a good thing to have around a bar area. I can live with that though and it didn't bother me too much.
However, where do I begin with the bar staff? I thought there had been a great escape from Jeremy Kyle's holding pen and they had taken up refuge in Langtree Park. To say they were simply awful would be flattering. If they all got together and worked as a team they could probably accumulate a brain cell between them. I have absolutely no doubt Saints lost a lot of revenue last night due to the idiocy of the staff. A couple of examples:
1. My mate got 2 pints of Saints gold and a hot dog as we entered the stadium at 6:30, the total of which comes to £8.80. Upon giving the staff a £20 note my friend received £17 change and a thank you. A loss of £5.80 right away.
2. Somebody else was at the bar and got £4.30 worth of drinks and food and paid with a £5 note. The girl behind the bar for some reason couldn't figure out how much change she needed to give. She gave him 50p after a deliberation, to which he replied 'I need 70p'. After another minute or so of looking completely baffled she gave him another £1, giving him £1.50, the man laughed and walked off.
There are plenty of other examples that happened to just 2 of us which resulted in us not going back to the bar during or after half time and Saints probably losing about £15 from us. I'm sure this is the case with many other people too. I'm not one to moan usually but this is simply unacceptable, in the current climate on unemployment there are plenty of people looking for work who could have done a far far better job than the frankly stupid staff Saints had on last night. It took 3 of them 10 minutes to figure out how to give me some change from the till.
This needs to be sorted out quickly otherwise Saints will lose thousands of pounds over the season.

| The south stand was excellent - bone dry, plenty of room on the seat, no water in the concourse, able to get served both at pre match and half time and even got to use the loo's (well all of that Saints Gold had to go sowewhere)
Some people dont know when they have got it good ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| Managed to get my season ticket seat for the Widnes Game half way up on J row. Thinking of getting one of those sheepskin car covers for a VW golf, should fit a treat for matches in wintry weather.
