[quote="Deano G":wqb36lm9]Come to think of it, that Saints side (1992/93) was a better side than the 2006 side and the 2009 side.[/quote:wqb36lm9]: |

| Quote: vastman "That is so flawed.
You simply do not own your house outright which is the only real form of ownership until the debt is settled in full.
Even with one payment left if you were to default the house would be repossessed and sold at auction for a price (theoretically) that covers the payment plus costs. In theory the BS can flog your £100,000 house for £500 if they wished. Though this is unlikely they will accept any auction price that meets the reserve which could leave you many thousands of pounds worse off.
How can you possibly own something that someone else can sell at a loss after as little as 8 weeks if you hit trouble.
Same applies to Saints. I fully agree they seem to have a very good deal and I honestly doubt Saints will ever look back if they are sensible. However they don't as a company or as individual own the club outright as suggested.'"
Errr, no!
Saints own the Stadium, it is theirs and their alone, however, what they do have is LOAN secured on the property. If they default on the LOAN, then, and ONLY then, can the Bank/BS seek to get their money back. The same applies to you, me and anyone else who may have a loan secured on property be that a house, car or ancient artifact!
As has been pointed out - that's why it's called RE-possession. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

No , there was a rumour that an ' interested party ' had asked about buying the whole site including the stadium , but no mention of ' giving ' it to Leigh |

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

Very positive all round.
Two new grounds for Saints and Salford, plus Widnes with decent facilities and continued development of some of the existing grounds.

Looks rather smart I must admit, although I'll miss the gauntlet that was getting out of the Willows' away end, dodging flying bottles of...erm....bodily fluids

I've now had a couple of visits to Salford's ground. First impressions are that it's a world away from the Willows in terms of quality, but doesn't yet feel like home. The West Stand is magnificent, and the conferencing/banqueting facilities are up there with anything I've seen at Old Trafford or Etihad Stadiums - this will no doubt help the club in terms of the corporate income. The downside is that the remaining three stands are pretty bog standard, and not particularly high for viewing. It will take a bit of time to get used to travel arrangements and locations for pre/post match drinks, but the facility should help the club kick on IF they manage the process effectively.

I hope you don't experience "The Thrum Hall" factor. Hundreds of little terraced houses surrounding the ground supplying walk-up fans, then too lazy to get themselves to The Shay after the move. The first two years will be critical. Salford need to make sure that the usual regular fans catch the bug and continue to follow their club in this "out of town" stadium. (ie, anything not on their doorstep is out of town to some fickle fans).

Quite right Iain, the stadium is just the tools to work with, it still needs the skills, knowledge and the committment to make it work |
