[quote="saint billy"]Dont talk to Legendary supporter like that![/quote] [quote="The Main Man"]legend supporter i agree. Pity i can't write it into words like that.[/quote] [quote="goddy"]Legendary Supporter, you sound like a true RL and Saints supporter, I salute you, well done mate.[/quote] [img]//img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Gorion/RLfans/legendarysupporter.jpg[/img] Thanks 2 st.fluffy:6222.jpg



I have now watched the new Saints' DVD - 'Farewell Knowsley Road - Home of Legends since 1890'.

This is an excellent production and the club should be proud of their efforts in capturing the history & heritage of the old ground and celebrating it's end.

The DVD is 95 minutes in duration with 50 minutes of the DVD is spent covering the history of the club and ground.

There is many prevously unseen images of the ground and some gems of old cine footage of matches played at the stadium. There are interviews with supporters, club officials, past players and current players.

The historical aspects covered are informative and interesting as Club Historian Alex Service narrates his way through 120 years of the St. Helens Club

There is the Fans Photo. The Past Players lap of honour before the Hull K.R. match is covered as is the last ever Past Players dinner. The last League match versus Castleford is chroinicled as is the last ever match versus Huddersfield.

There is also the Farewell Festival, Fireworks and the Memorial Service.

This DVD IMHO is great and is a fitting record of the closing times of Knowsley Road and would make a great gift for either yourself or a loved one.

This DVD perfectly compliments the Club's Special A4 Programme that was produced for the last 'League' match versus Castleford and certainly whets the appitite for the two books, So Long Knowsley Road and the Coffee Table book that is due to be released in the next few weeks.

The DVD is to be officially launched at the Saints Superstore tomorrow (27/11/2010):

Since 1890? Don't think so! Since 1952 maybe.

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before. Shaun Wane 8/10/09 "WE HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT YOU CAN ONLY EVER DREAM OF" WIGAN RLFC The Mirror 30/10/09 How the Premier League table would look if teams were awarded points for famous fans... 20th: Wigan The Latics don't have any fans, yet alone any famous ones.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_29281.jpg

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg

We were also in the first Challenge Cup final in 1897. That in itself makes us legends!
