Why have St Helens got a sign ? They dont have a Super League Team, the "franchise" is now being housed by Halton B.C.

you really do need to get a life.

there is also one on the A57 as you leave Cadishead

I've noticed the sign on Winwick Rd a few weeks ago. I actually think it looks really good but totally agree that they should say something about being the back to back challenge cup winners. The pies have 'home of the super league champions' on their sign so think we should take pride in a very special team that can back up titles (meow, meow)

People are really complaining about the council spending some money on promoting a positive aspect of the local community? Really? In the past the criticisms have always been that the council/club do [inothing[/i to raise awareness of the club to the Manchester/Liverpool spillover residents.

I despair, you just can't win with some people. It might also be worth pointing out that the council won't just have one big pot of money and that's it, they have budgets, they'll have budgets for road maintenance, for road signage which does need updating every once in a while, and for every other council operated area. Those budgets are set and for designated departments. Complaining about a council spending money on some updated road signs instead of on bin collections isn't any different to the idiots who tell traffic police that they should be out catching murderers, they're different departments! It's not like you've got the head of CID pulling you over for doiing 34 in a 30!

Or congratulations!

You've finally decided to go to an away game!

"Or congratulations!

You've finally decided to go to a home game and not protest against the one year in Widnes.

The new stadium is getting built to improve the team, the least you could do is turn up and make it looks like we have decent support. For God's sake! It looked empty against one of our biggest rivals. You should be ashamed. !"

Conclusive proof that you can't please everybody....

Ive noticed the signs for the last few weeks, my thoughts are at last the council realises that the town has a Rugby League Team, i wonder why they now want the association could it be the two challenge cup wins. Well you never know if we get there for a third time they might even dress up the town in primrose and blue.

To little to late for me.

I do love the signs though

I think the signs are great and well worth whatever it was that they cost.

Think I read recently in the Midweek or Friday Guardian about a councillor lobbying to have some form of signage put up to recognise the team, about time too!

widnes should have some.... welcome to widnes, please don't forget your chemical hazzard suits and gas masks.
oh by the way our rugby is as substandard as our air!

Council don't pay to repair the bus stop, a separate company repairs them using funds generated from the advertising.
hth

Hey that's not fair - you can't use cool logic, reasoning, and facts in arguments about what the council does !!!!!

I mean, council, boo. Sack the lot of them!
