| Quote pokerface="pokerface"A pointless post to say the least. But ill entertain you young person with a reply, our pitch is a long way from perfect but we aren't in our first season in a brand new stadium with a supposedly new pitch, playing our first game of the season on it like stains were.
Now jog on.'"
Its a long time since I have been called young but I will entertain you.
The IRONY is the fact that your well established pitch is at best a beach at this time of year. Yes it is our 2nd game on the pitch but there were blowers on it for 2 nights which has the effect of drying it out the hence the less than green areas. I would suggest that our new pitch will show up on TV a damn site better than yours next Friday. So jog on yourself.

Yes, I was a bit bemused by being shepherded out along a line of stewards/police - completely unnecessary IMO

| The poor grass on the pitch was explained in the pre amble on sky. Pitch was frozen to 18 inches, so we had to put heaters on it to get the match on and so it was burnt in places because of the heaters.

Saw a bit of a discussion outside the gates post match and wondered what was going on.
I think the police may have spotted you GT in the toilets at half time and thought you liked the place so much you didnt want to leave. You and Mclennan were like a pair of women using the bogs for a bit of a natter.
Good job Billinge Lump and my good self dragged you out of there, otherwise i suspect you would both have missed the second half.

It's because you were "goading" away fans and pointing them out for fights or so they said. RL could do without thugs like you.
Complete OTT reaction from the police must admit.

Fair enough I didn't see the pre-match stuff, just started watching at kick-off. Someone asked about the stadium and I simply gave an observation, to which one of your petty 'fans' decided to get touchy and turn the thread into a Leeds/Saints tit-for-tat.
I just said the pitch looked questionable for a new ground but as you have pointed out it was just cosmetic. Looking forward to visiting myself.

| Saints ground was impressive , in reality the fabric ( breeze block, Steel & cladding ) is similar to ours but the location , near to the town , and and the little touches, colour scheme, memorabilia pub signs adjacent to the kiosks worked.
parking was pretty easy , £1 to park in the centre car parks after 5pm , just a 5 minute walk away. Beware of the retail park parking across from Tesco , they had stooges out threatening to Ticket anyone parking for the ground.
There seemed to be an overreaction by the stewards / Specials to the group of Salford supporters in the north stand , at least from where i was looking in the east stand. one wonders how they plan to cope with larger away support (= everyone bar Broncos & catalans )if they are spooked by a few fans singing,
enjoyed the game all the same even though we were steam rollered late 2nd half.

Ha! Nothing wrong with having a catch-up.  Although to be fair, it wouldn't have been a bad second half to miss from my point of view.

 All I was pointing out was why on Earth would supposed grown men be wearing cardboard Burger King crowns to the match? Their jester hats must've been in the wash!

I'm going to guess that you're going off the tickets sold from Salford's ticket office there. Considering plenty of people I know bought tickets on the day or directly from St. Helens I'd say you need to add a few more on. We had 200 there at least, maybe a few more.
