you know what i like about the away end at saints, there's lots of space between them pillars, so plenty of choice of where to stand, even if you get there late.

Yes & No for me.

It's a dosshole, sure. It's an old stadium.

Clearly, I've been there for some hidings like, but at the same time, I've had some cracking moments there, even if the result hasn't followed. Moments of extreme excitement, like Pennys try, or the year when we lost 31-30, I think Nat Wood scored at the other end - a cracking try it was, he just came back with his fist in the air celebrating, the crowd was buzzing, it made me tingle. I thought we were going to win, of course it ended in heartache.

It's a stadium that I associate with emotion - good or bad. There's not many I can say that about.

add another 20% to that one mate

So you are suggesting that it's now beyond possibility for Warrington to lose to St Helens? I agree you look better than us this year, for the first time in the best part of 20 years, but I think you are going a little too far.

Leeds were the winners of the competition last season and they lost at home to Salford.

Good post pal.

what thing i will say, KR is the place to be on friday night

summed it up in one sentence

Absolutely right, it will be the place to be next Friday. Unfortunately I will be listening to it on radio in Northern France.

I think this is what most Saints fans will also miss about KR. It won't be the facilities, that's for sure! But KR does generate a really good atmosphere, probably because everyone is so close to the action and so close to each other. I think the best atmosphere I've experienced in recent years was our match against Leeds when Bailey tried to take Fas's head off. How the crowd didn't jump on Leeds I don't know; the tension in the air was palpable. Anger crackled around the place. It was really quite intimidating! But once that had died down it was a great atmosphere just for being competitive; same for Wire and Wigoon (although IMO Wire tops it due to the hoodoo).

Still nowt wrong with that - solid tackle, which is rare for that thug Bailey Cracking game for the neutrals that one.

I'm going to miss KR. Holds a lot of memories for me from way back in the early 80's. No doubt the new stadium will be sparkling and new but, sadly, it will be devoid of character - just like ours.

Yes, I like all the old grounds. KR is a favourite because there's always a good atmosthere. I also used to love going to Central Park. A very happy hunting ground for us in the seventies Murphy era.
