The move will make their cash flow infinitely better, as I would wager the cost of maintaining KR would have been crippling.'" You're probaly right. I'm almost certain that back in the day, at the Parr Hall meeting re: the HJ, Peter Deakin made much the same comments - We could not generate revenue at Wilderspool because of poor facilities and at the same time the cost of keeping the place safe for use was exorbitant.

Quote: lefty goldblatt "It's obvious tonight, Eastmond has got things on his mind. Saints pack weren't dominated tonight, and Eastmond had his hands on the ball plenty of times. OK, people can have bad games, but his head was obviously elsewhere. He's leaving our game and going to the 3 point game. What England/GB could do with his services over the next decade. We've a world cup coming up. I'm worried that we go back to Rob Burrow (great SL player, but never really done it in a GB/england shirt).'" You were on the ball re Eastmond having something on his Mind on Friday. Correct me if I am wrong but in 2007 - the series against New Zealand when we won the series 3-0 didn't Rob Burrow get the man of the match in the first game and the overall player of the series award?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
He did indeed, Chorley. He played well, against what was the weakest NZ side, to leave their shores for donkey's years. You could have put in an average SL half back, and they'd have looked like Peter Sterling/Andy Gregory in their pomp. NZ's pack got battered round all 4 corners of the field when they played GB in that series. THEY WERE DROSS (and if I remember correctly, wasn't our own Louis Anderson in that side, or did he miss the tour with injury?). I wasn't having a pop at Burrow. I think he's a v good SL player. I just think he's not that been that great, when he been in the England jersey, since. It sounds like Burrow is back in the England fold again, we need him to step up to international standard (can't see Myler getting picked ahead of him, unless he consistantly shines for the rest of the season)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes, indeed, Louis Anderson - then of the New Zealand Warriors played in all three games.

Quote: getdownmonkeyman "Saints' monies for their new stadium have been generated from the sale of KR. '" That and loans from the directors. Quote: getdownmonkeyman "The move will make their cash flow infinitely better, as I would wager the cost of maintaining KR would have been crippling.'" Correct on both counts. KR was a big black hole (well, it's going that way again now - the main stand is now almost demolished). Saints couldn't raise any funds there as the facilities were crap but they had to keep spending I think it was over £100,000 a month to keep it in safety certificates. The new stadium will provide other income streams that, over time, will hopefully pay off the directors' investments and turn the club around financially. Meanwhile, it will cost the club to play at Widnes as clearly Saints' fans aren't going to go there in big numbers but there are still rental costs and overheads to be paid (although in total that probably doesn't amount to the same figure as the cost of maintaining KR). I didn't half miss KR on Friday though. No way will a new stadium be anything like as atmospheric as KR.
