Then apologies for that , it just seems like every time we get some good news about the Stadium or the club somebody has a pop , gets very tedious as I say , we are finally in the home stretch ready to start a new era , we need to be upbeat about the future , so again sorry for maligning you

It's a shame in a way that you're getting (or you appear to be getting) a sponsor from day one, as generally, whatever the stadium is called first is the name that sticks.

For instance, most people still call the DW stadium, the JJB. Even though this is the name that is now used on all official documents, in the media and in the press. Similarly, I can't imagine anyone habitually calling the City of Manchester Stadium, "The Etihad" anytime soon.

Therefore, wouldn't it be great if, just for one year or maybe two, the St Helens directors would stop thinking of their wallets and hold off getting a sponsor, giving the stadium a proper name and THEN getting a sponsor in a couple of years. That would give the fans the opportunity to have a proper 'home' name for them to use, but of course the media etc would still be obliged to use the corporate name, thus still getting full sponsorship value from it.

Langtree Park is the name of the site as well, so it would have been no different.

Considering the stadium name was always likely to be dictated by sponsorship I think you've got a cracking name tbh. Can't wait for the first game

Most Saints fans who have expressed a preference have said its a pretty classy name I havent heard anyone say they didnt like it

I don't particularly like it. It's not causing me to go into rage but it's a pretty nondescript and unimaginative which is a shame. Still it is a minor issue and one that won't impact upon our majesty.

Theres always one !!

So do I. I think it sounds really classy.

That's if the name we see is all there is to it. There may be something else to come.

I like it. Langtree Park is a name that could stick, depending of course on the financial details to be revealed tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised though if this was a short term fallback because we've not managed to get a meaningful deal out of a big company, possibly contra-ing money we owe them for the stadium. Very few throwing sponsorship around when we're about to go into recession again.

Typhoo were very happy to throw a two year sponsorship deal around, Hattons a five year deal and that brewery a five year deal so my guess is you're talking out of your anus ma boy!

Meanwhile, back on Planet Positive, I think it would be great for Langtree to sponsor our stadium. What a way to expand their profile. And it would be great for Saints if Langtree were the stadium sponsors as Langtree is a local company and engaging local companies (rightly IMO) appears to be the policy of McManus.

I love McManus Drive. That's just fab.

No, clearly not. It'll be interesting to find out how long term the Langtree deal is. The Typhoo and Hattons deals will not be mega amounts. The brewery deal will probably be profitable for Robinsons as they will be taking a huge slice of the takings at the bars in the ground.

Speculation, speculation, speculation.

You haven't a bleedin clue kiddo.
