I can understand wanting to sell a section at a time. Much better to have a full section sold out. But I'd be surprised if the other family stand was for away fans only.

If it's the old bag in the shop then she's just not interested. Everything is a effort for her and totally unhelpful.

I know who you mean!

She is sort of in charge and spends a lot of time ignoring people and pretending to be reading something. The rest of the staff are pretty sound IMO.

Is that the one with dark hair and a grumpy looking face?

I think it was like a ginger colour. Pure horrible cow!

Perhaps there are two old bags in there then, although I'm a crap witness so I've probably got mixed up. Either way, the woman I'm thinking of had a face that would curdle milk and I really didn't want her to serve me, especially given that she had just loudly whinged about Saints fans to the couple in front of me, but I had no choice as she was the only one on the tickets counter and I needed a ticket for the Widnes friendly!

Speaking of tickets.

It's new season ticket collection time from tomorrow! Bring it on!

"And some fell on stony ground"

I've personally found the staff to be fine whenever I've visited the shop since its relocation, I've noticed that if you smile and speak to them politely and with respect they treat me in kind, if I was grumpy and dour-faced (I'm not saying any of you are) I'd expect a similar response.

Whilst it is expected that customer service staff should appear happy, jovial and helpful all of the time at the end of the day lets not forget that they are people, and as such are prone to off-days - it is a low paid profession in which they have to deal with long periods of inactivity coupled with dealing with a percentage of customers who are often dismissive of them and occasionally downright rude. I'm sure that description rings bells with many of you in your respective employment, and can you honestly say you are happy, smiley and cheerful in work all day?

they always seem happy to serve me, having said that im quite a cheerfull person so maybe it rubs off, some of you misserable gits should try smileing to them see if it works.

Indeed. Everybody serving in the Saints shop, bar sour puss, is just fine. I've only encountered her the once and it didn't make any difference that I was friendly and polite. She wore an expression that would curdle milk. And bitching about Saints fans in the Saints shop was out of order.

I went in to get two season tickets, four adult tickets abd two kids tickets for the Widnes game, pre order two saints shirts which is a alot of money but it was such effort for her.

She was very reluctant to show me which seats was still available and after I'd bought the season tickets asked her for Widnes match tickets abd she just huffed as if it was to much hard work.

Thats the one!
She wears glasses and her hair is sort of faux ginger come blonde.
If she is doing "paperwork" she just ignores everyone even if the queue gets really long and doesn't getof her harris to help out.

Everyone else is really good and helpful.
(p.s. warning for anyone getting the burgundy vintage hoody top - it runs when its washed and the white writing goes pink. It generated a lot of amusement for my wire mates).

What temp did you wash it at?

Are season tickets available to pick up from tomorrow.
