I'm sorry guys but come on. It is fully understandable that your game was called off. The pavements and minor roads in this part of the country are hazardous and a number of accidents would have occured. Yes most would have resulted in hurt pride rather than injury but there could also have been some serious incidents. I guess that Saints did as much as they could to get the game on but just think about how much resource (money and manpower) would have been needed to make safe all the roads and pavements in, lets say, a mile radius of the ground. Impossible.
Several of you have also asked about the difference between this game going ahead and the fact that supermarkets and shopping centres have remained open. Cost versus risk. Most make massive profits and they will have made more from staying open, and getting several claims for minor accidents that may have happened on or around their premises, than by shutting. A relatively small sports organisation would have had a different result to their 'risk analysis'.

You do realise you will have to put £1 on that now, cause if they came up and you hadn't you would get slated on here forever. Plus if you win you could perhaps go halves for the club with IL.

That would have been what came in (although as has been said probably vastly over estimated) but then you have to deduct the cost of hosting the game so the club won't have lost anywhere near as much as you think. |

It was quite difficult trying to find out if the match was on or off. Some folk are going to be a bit upset.

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 |

It was on the internet on the clubs sires and both RL fans sites from early this morning. It was also on local radio.
Was it on teletext?
What did they want a private telegram? |

It wasn't on Teletext Brian considering the system closed down forever on December 15, but if we were still on the air it would have been on there |
