Think you might be in for a disappointment if you think only RL is being played there.

What a truly, truly pathetic thread.

Everybody knows St Helens Town is playing there as well but they are playing there at our convenience - in order to continue with Sport England funding - and not because we are subservient to a soccer club, which is the case for the mighty Wigan RLFC. If Saints want to play a game they play a game when they want to and Town have to sort out an alternative.

Incidentally, lots and lots of things are due to go on at Langtree Park. As our Chairman recently said, it is an events stadium where rugby league is sometimes played.

So what I wrote in reply to the person who said it was going to be an exclusively RL stadium was correct then. Thanks for clearing that up. BTW your first sentence is wrong as there's at least one person who didn't know St Helens Town were going to play there, hence my reply.

Nope. It is exclusively a rugby league stadium. A rugby league club owns it. Thus, it is exclusively a rugby league stadium.

It isn't a concert hall because concerts might be played there.
It isn't a church because weddings might be held there.
It isn't a night club because parties might go on into the night.
It isn't a youth club because young people may meet there and do stuff.

It is exclusively a rugby league stadium because it is owned by a rugby league club. It's just that other things go on there as well.

You're just being extremely silly.

I suggest you find out the meaning of the word exclusively, unless St Helens Town have changed sports.

Welcome to the wacky world of dual pitch markings.

Thats exactly how I see it going, and dont see any problem.

I know they did. Lets face it the club aren't going to generate any new real income based on St Helens Town playing at the stadium. Saints have already had the income by selling the football club's ground years ago.

Are you blind? Or just being obtuse for the sake of starting an argument? Or just a troll maybe? Because I clearly said that by allowing Town to play at Langtree Park, Saints attract Sport England money. That's clearly income, and income worth attracting otherwise Saints wouldn't allow them to play. They nearly didn't, actually, and to be honest I'm not even sure they are doing in 2012 as nothing has been said by the club about it recently.

You obviously need to have a rethink about the level of income NW Counties teams attract in funding, it's not going to make much of a dent. Who'd have thought you'd get so defensive just because I pointed out to someone that something other than RL was going to be played at the stadium? Always ready to jump in with the size 10s without necessarily thinking it through.

Defensive? Hardly. You're just a nutjob.

You didn't need to point it out as I already knew it, assuming it's still the case. No doubt lots of things that aren't RL are going to be played at the stadium. I hope so anyway as I want Saints to prosper and part of that is for them to be able to raise revenue from other activities. That's the bonus of owning your own stadium: you have the freedom to choose who does what and when at your venue.

You never know, on one of those days when the Latics have kicked the mighty Wigan RLFC out of the Piedome, Saints may be good enough to allow you to play at their stadium. For a fee, obviously.

I feel a little hooking going on and not the type that requires a ball or a pimp.

Come on let it go.

I'm all for bear baiting, but at least get baited on the Wigan boards.

Not really because I'm not taking him seriously. I'm applying for a job and the little debate has been a useful redirection. Have you ever tried applying for a job you really, really want because it is really, really right for you? It's harder than applying for some crapo crap stuff that'll just get you off the dole.
