Don't hold your breath... Some of the terms allowed on there as normal currency are terrible.

I don't know if it happened or not but on the mods forum it was mentioned there was to be a refresh of the Saints mods. If a new lot have taken over don't be surprised if they ignore the rules about warning people first etc.

Had a little light shed on this today; an ex-colleague of mine, a Wigan Latics soccer fan, and a group of his friends went to St Helens on Friday (with no intention of going to the match - again, they're not rugby fans), they went to the Sefton, mouthed off and promptly got a kicking and ejected.

The Sefton is a dump. Does an alright pint of Theakstons Cask for cheap though. Even if I'm the only one ordering it at 2.40 in the morning.

St helens was a dump 10 years ago, I doubt it's improved much.

On a related note, I'm also banned on the saints forum, was banned months ago, no idea why and certainly no PM. I did PM Saint Simon a while back about it, he replied saying he knew nothing about it and couldn't think why I was; still banned though. Bit tetchy on there.

We were in the Counting house after the match at about 5:30 . As i walked back from the bar (hands full of pints) a guy with a Saints polo shirt on stopped me and said Wigan scum are not allowed in here. Just replied "nae luck mate but i will pass the message on to the other 300 Wigan fans in here ".



Can i just add , apart from the prat mentioned above all the Saints fans we spoke too or had contact with were spot on .

The banning issue has been a problem on this forum for a few Wire fans. I think it can be just as sensitive on here as well. I agree people being banned for abuse and being intentionally nasty but not just for having a different point of view.

I posted on another thread, what had happened on Friday stating that it was people from Wigan who had caused the bother. It started in another pub in bridge st before the game had finished, They had ordered a lot of taxis from the stork at billinge, at half time not sure if thats where they were from or had been on a pub crawl. I spoke to one of the taxi drivers who brought some of them, he said it was obvious they were not rugby fans and were looking for trouble, then they went to the sefton, where by this time the game had ended and was then full of both fans, thats when it kicked off. Nothing to do with St Helens being rough or the sefton being rough, all towns have rough parts. As for someone saying his uncle was the manager, load of rubbish, I know the manager very well and can assure you that he is not old enough to have a nephew old enough to go in the sefton. Like I said in another thread not rugby fans, we had a geat day out so stop all the slagging off it doesnt help

Then why did the landlord of the pub (the one with the cut eye) when asked by police was it wigan fans he replied...."No it was nothing to do with Wigan fans".

I was right next to him when he said it!!

Nobody has been banned for having a different point of view. People get banned for breaking the AUP and ignoring various warnings about trolling, derailing threads etc.

St Helens town centre is indeed a dump and, much as I would like to think otherwise, it will continue to go downhill in my opinion.

The town is a wasteland.

As for the Sefton, I wouldn't pin that on Saints fans fighting amongst themselves. More drunken buffoons fighting amongst themselves like they do every weekend when they drink more than their pea brains can handle.

Do people get bans on these forums?
