Saints fan(?) on the Warrington site reckons its the other way around and if the sale of Knowsley Road doesn't go through by end of 2010 then the developer (Taylor Wimpey) will be able to re-negotiate the price (or I would imagine pull out completely). At best given current land values compared to when the sale was first negotiated this would leave Saints with a couple of million pounds funding hole that in truthcould well mean the new stadium being potentially dead in the water.

I don't claim to have any knowledge of theSaints deal but having long-stop dates in pre-cotract agreements is a given so there may well be some truth in it, plus can't beat a bit of doom-mongering at the expense of Saints.

love it.

lol

the deal is fixed though, saints will be out on time, even if we're playing somewhere else for a few months

If there is a problem with KR. My answer is simple.

Get 8000 fans to put in £1000 each. That gives £8m. Wait till the price of land goes up and sell it. Admittedly there will be some admin costs but as true Saints fans we would be doing it to move the club on, not for selfish gain.

It's not square/rectangular. And I don't think there are any standing areas.

You couldn't trust a Saints fan with your money for a NZ All Gold shirt now you're all going to shove a grand in each.

The naievity of some people amazes me.

Who said "Giving it to a Saints fan"?

Wow! Welcome to 2008!

Should imagine the majority of opposition fans want the development to fail, then they can have there annual gripe about the existing stadium not fit for superleague.

Do you really think all the Saints die-hards have a spare £1,000 to give away, albeit temporarily?

exactly

Not to mention the fact that a large proprtion of our support are kids!

Getting most saints "fans" to cough up £17 at the turnstiles is hard enough.

Real Rugby League Fans! not those that are purely parochial! want to see every new ground project Succeed! be it a club you support or not!

What is frustrating is the number of promises and announcements by the current St Helens Board which never seem to materialise and that supporters are not kept fully informed.

But is that anything new? No! the success St Helens has had as a club and what have we (someone born in the Town) to show for it, plus all the Sky money, nothing much! it has never been run as a top professional club an d the current Board seem little better.
