With working in Liverpool I know a fair few Liverpool and Everton season ticket holders...

This morning one came over and said

"You support Saints don't you?"

"Yes, why?"

"Saints have asked Everton for permission to play your game against Warrington Wolves at Goodison Park next season"

Yet to see anything official but he's very close to the club and always knows Everton related gossip before everyone else.

Looks like RL is going to follow RUs lead and play a few league games at bigger stadiums, Wigan want to move the Saints game to Manchester

This was muted in the interview with the Commercial woman at Saints that was posted on here a few months ago.

Would be good, although playing a home game in a stadium with blue seats against a team who's primary colours include blue is a tad strange.

Remember the game at Anfield. What crowd did that draw? Can't see the whole ground being opened for this, which stand would they open? Main Stand (excluding top balcony) and Park End?

I reckon you would get a better crowd via a full house at Widnes. Moving it to Everton will reduce the number of Warrington fans in attendance. Disaster written all over it.

if they actually put some proper effort into marketing it (like Wigan have done for this week), then there is no reason why it cant get 20k. However, Saints idea of marketing is to put a few posters up outside the ground and hope that everyone just turns up.

I think the game at Anfield got about 17k.

Thats not like you.

Great stuff, lets hope its done properly.

What is the capacity at Widnes, isnt it 13,300 or such like ? If so, I can understand why Saints would want to take the Wire and Pie game on the road to Goodison or Anfield. You can bet wire will take a gazillion away fans to the game, and may even try to outnumber us by realising its a neutral venue, so they take it upon themselves to sell tickets and coaches for naff all, in order to get 10k fans down there and make it into a home game for them... the pies wouldnt, as they are miserable, and tight



Nice idea to go on the road, I presume Widnes wont wnat us to as a nice sell out would mean more sales in coffee and biscuits for them.

Im an Everton as well as Saints season ticket holder and having seen Saints at Old Trafford,Maine Road,Anfield,the reebok and other football stadiums over the years ive always hoped for the day the Saints run out at Goodison. I remember hearing a rumour that the 2007 World Club Challenge was going to be played there but that didn't happen so i really hope this talk of the Warrington game being played there is true.

Saints v Cas at Anfield in 1997, drew a crowd of 12329, the week before the Challenge Cup Final. The year before, Saints v Cas at home had a crowd of just 8239.

Then how about this years so far?

From our very own RLFANS statisticians...

After 21 games in 2010:

Saints average attendances = 11,208
Warrington average attendances = 10,580

I prefer Wigans average attendance of 15,102 to be honest.

Glory hunters?




PS Yes, I know you haven't won anything

Personally, I'd prefer 11000 fans in our own stadium, filling our own coffers, than 15000 in DW's Stadium, subsidising Wigan Athletic.

Damn. I knew there was a dark side in taking 30 zillion Wire fans to KR

Reason your average is higher than ours is because you can fit 17,500
for the big games where we can only fit 14,000 in those big games are
swelled by opposing sides fans from those games. This sways the balance
in your favour. For the average games against average opposition we have
better attendances. We have never been below 10,000 this season where
you have had a fair number of 8000+s.

You have actualy had 3 attendances under 10k (cas,cats,hkr).and as yet have not had a full house, just over 13k against wigan being the highest so far.

The game against us was a sell-out.

you do know that we get all the gate receipts dont you?

Also the only over head we have is the rent of the ground which is supoposed to be very good value, no stadium management costs. So we dont do to bad eh troll

Game against Wigan was a sellout, Castleford attendance was 10,577 never trust the bbc website, Catalans was just under at 9,619 yes and Hull k.r has been our lowest attendance so far at 9,216.

but how many did we get for harlequins?

By eck the auld attendance debate...
