They probably won't be walking to the new ground either.
The club will have to put some kind of transport on, but I don't see why it would have to be free. |

Why do we need to? It just means you'll get about 250 tickets for the derby next year  |

Well its more than a tad embarressing, season ticket sales down, match day ticket sales down, no revenue from food n booze, new shirt sales down. Going to be a costly year.

good point,,we might not be able to cover costs,honour players contracts,seal major sponsorship deals,,we might have to sell our ground to a major supermarket chain and move in as lodgers with the local football team,,,,no things could never get that bad  |

Why's it embarrassing?
We knew we were going to have to take a hit financially, we also (well most) knew that we were likely to have to play at Widnes or Leigh for all/most of next year as Knowsley Road [ihad[/i to be vacated at the end of this season.
It'll be embarrassing if we get gates of 4,000 next year, but that hasn't happened yet. |

Im sure most supporters would be willing to spend one season at another ground if they knew that they would have a permanent home ground that was purpose built for Rugby League in the near future.
I don't think its embarassing at all.

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

Don't die with the music in you!:26094.jpg |

| This is the best news Saints have had for many a year.
A purpose built stadium of your own is the dream for many a club.
The fact we are moving down the road for a few games (13) is not an issue for many, indeed I'd say most.
Especially as transport options will be provided by the club.
Season Ticket sales have never reached 13,500 so that wont be an issue for us, also deals are going to be on offer for those who take up the ticket at Widnes.
Only issue is for away fans who may get a lower allocation than this and previous seasons.
Fantastic news  |
