Ah that could be why then haha. Shame though. I've got to say I had no idea of that I've never been down there and theres limited pictures of the ground on the internet.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Look at it realistically.
how much would it cost to redevelop Edge Hall Rod.
How many games have been moved from Wigan (DW or JJB)
The costs don't balance.
It's worth the cost to take the occasional hit.

| Perhaps we should look at using Robin Park if we ever sold Edge Hall.
Don't ever think that we should sell Edge Hall if we want to keep a successful academy but you never know what will happen.

Suppose thats true I didnt realise how small it was at first. Maybe sell it to Latics to use when they get relegated? Haha

Several reasons why I cant see any real development of EHR
1. We have a long lease at the DW -which will be renewed well before the term ends
2.The cost of redevelopment far outweighs the benefits
3. Access into Orrell is poor and parking is non existent

Plenty parking at the Water Park, which is as close to the ground as the DW carparks, only 2 minutes walk.

Hi Geoff, fair point, but I cannot see that the residents of Orrell (I am not one by the way) wanting wholesale redevelopment at EHR. The future of WRLFC is at the DW and I cannot (unless a multi millionaire with much deeper pockets than IL shows up) see it being any different

I agree, although some "tarting up" would be nice.

| Is the development of the ground for rugby or of the site ie housing? the DW relationship in it's presant form does not help us, despite what may be said in public.

Has IL not built a new ground for his football club? who are a little less than top of the pile.

| Just changing the black and amber seats to cherry and white would improve the look of the place 100%.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
