Won't get any bites with tiny bait like that.
1/10 for the effort though.

Well let's have a look at one or two facts here.
Warrington's crowd in the first round of games this season was barely 2000 more than ours.
And you had the advantage of playing a club who is a very near neighbour. Warrington and St Helens are just 10 miles apart I believe.
On the other hand, Leeds is still a fair distance from Hull.
Also, last time HKR's was Champions was nearly 30 years ago. Wire's was nearly 60 years ago.

I'm jealous now. You can also claim to have been relegated and we can't match that - it's just not fair.

Saints have played in what was a division 2, although never been relegated.....I think.

Incorrect again. The only time Saints 'AND LEEDS' have not played in the same top division is when the league was split into Lancashire and Yorkshire Leagues. Interestingly, Castleford were the only other team in this elite group until they were relegated a few seasons ago.
P.S. The split occured during the first world war. At the same time 12 aside rugby was introduced due to a lack of players.

Saints have been relegated (in the early years of Rugby League) They would also have been relegated again but RL went to one division.
It's surprising how many Saints fans don't know their clubs history.

| The last club to have been relegated for the 1st time in their history was not Castleford but Widnes in 2005.
And a bit unfairly too.
I think Cas saved Widnes from relegation the season before when Cas slipped up and got beat by Wakefield on the last day.

I'll tell you what we'll do. If Saints have never been relegated I will give £25 to the Steve Prescott foundation, if they have you give £25 to joining jack. Is that o.k.
I suggest you check with Sadfish who runs this site and is part of the Saints heritage site.
