Since Super League we don't get to the old haunts anymore does anyone have a particular place they miss. I know they have moved now but I used to love the craic at Hilton Park Leigh. Good pubs near the ground and totally passionate fans. I remember one guy in particular he used to mither the Saints fans to buy half time draw tickets whilst singing a song about the parentage of Wiganners god he was funny.

I liked The Shay at Halifax. Even when it was half finished.

There was something so homely and loveable about The Willows, as much of a dump as that place was.

Ditto, really enjoyed watching games there.
Maybe we'll be able to again when Saints are put into Super League 2 when they bring these changes in  |

The old Blackpool ground for me , a good day out watch the match and then spend the rest of the day in the resort. Great!

Sadly a lot of fans wont remember the games at Borough Park Blackpool great little ground closed on safety reasons. God knows how they worked that one out.

Central Park was always an experience. Had some great memories there - the JPS final against Leeds, the 32-22 Boxing Day comeback, Les Quirk's CCSF try against Widnes. Some not so great memories also.
Who was that mad bloke (Saints fan, long hair, wore a cowboy hat) who used to climb the stanchion at the Kop end, as we all cheered him on?

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Ha! Not really. Sadfish far too suave to climb stanchions. The only thing I can imagine Sadfish climbing is the greasy career pole. |

I remember that bloke. Last seen him at the 1991 Boxing Day derby at Central Park with him climbing the stanchion at that end, looking well bladdered and carrying a Union Jack with 'St Helens' badly painted on it.

I miss going to Wembley and Old Trafford, I don't think it will be too long before they are in the same memory box as The Athletics Ground, Watersheddings, Barley Mow, Fartown and Station Road. Halcyon days!!!!

This one - or to be more specific, spending time in the Timothy Taylor's pub, The Shears Inn, down at the bottom of the hill opposite on Paris Gates. |
