Plenty of notice being given here, but its going to be at Goodison Park. The rumour started here... www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... witch.html But my grandad has just rang, hes been speaking to his mate who has something to do with the groundskeeping at Everton and he said he is dreading it as the pitch is going to be a mess after it and confirmed its happening, though on what date he isnt sure.

Surprised they haven't asked for it to be played at Anfield.

After all, it is a bigger and better stadium............

so its safe to say we are playing saints away probably around june which probably means one of our 1st games will be saints at home?

I guess so. Depends how the RL do the fixtures and what Sky dictate!

And Goodison is a bit of a way from City Centre. Im not even going to rise to the bigger and better stadium comment!! haha

from one small club (Widnes) to another

Niether of the two football grounds are close to the city centre. Niether of the two will be that impressed that rugby types will be on the pitch. If the aim is too attract local support then Everton is the better ground as the majority of home football supporters are local, whereas the majority home football support for Livepool is not. Wonder whats happening with Saints home games with Wigan and Leeds?

it doen't always work like that though!!!

this season we played Harlequins at home first game and we play them away the last game!

we also played Leeds away in May and at home in June!!!

yea but i cant see everton letting the game be played during a season *before may after august*

Nah,Fergie said theres to much rugby played on it already..

looking at Wigans pitch on Friday (which was immaculate) it would appear football makes a mess of the pitches in winter..not RL in Summer

Quite right - it's a misconception put about by tossball that playing rugby on firm to hard pitches where there is minimal to no pushing in the scrum so no pushing against the turf, no digging pyramids of mud for kicks and no covering the pitch with sand to soak up the surface water, damages the pitches to a level where the overpaid primadonnas break their toenail when they trip over a blade of grass.

On another point - I bet James Graham will be well impressed playing at Goodison Park, if he still is at Saints next season that is...

I presume they're only playing the one game away from home against us, as widnes is as close if not closer to us, therefore hindering the 'home' advantage. So they might as well play it in scouse-land try n drum up some extra support for when they get the new ground
