Heard from a very good source that Saints are planning to play a friendly against Manly as part of there preperation for the WCC!!
Great idea if it comes off i'm sure we could fill the stadium for that one!!

RFL won't allow it.
Plus the Suoerleague season is starting a week early, so Saints wont want to play an extra mid week game and there is no undersoil heating that would guarantee the game going ahead.

It isn't going to happen.

You're obsessed with this. You mentioned it in reply to one of my posts on your boards. What's your issue? We've existed without undersoil heating for over a century.

And you have no idea whether the RFL would allow us to warm up the Manley lot or not. Quins have been the warm up team in previous years; why not Saints this time around? (And Quins don't have bloody undersoil heating either!)

Our new stadium is crap, it don't have undersoil heating

Jealousy is such a pitiful thing, isn't it?

I'm not obsessed with Saints at all.

I give rational arguments. Widnes or Warrington have been refused permission in the past to play the Aussie teams due to their proximity to the Superleague WCC teams.

If you want to put your money where your mouth is we'll have a charity bet (and we'll make it a relatively small amount, you chose the value) on whether Saints play Manly in Jan/Feb/March 2012.

Your call.

I know for a fact that saints ain't even asked about saints v Manley at the new stadium.

However, I do know who saints have requested to play in our first game at the new stadium.

I would say Widnes as a thankyou. Am I right.

Yeah right

You'd have to wait a heck of a long time to see the outcome of that bet!!!

There is a press event at the new ground today I'm reliably informed.

Anyone off here going?

Does this mean we get the name of the stadium today? Would seem rather stupid to hold a press event at an unfurnished stadium that as yet has no name.

I know I've just realised what I typed.

I did mean 2012, which I think was obvious anyway.

It was quite obvious but I like to be helpful.

Nothing on the saints site or on the web. Did anything happen at this "press event"?

I don't know about the press event, but Saints tweeted that the keys have not yet been handed over.

Evidently it didn't happen. One presumes it'll be when they hand the keys over.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XN_2Tx8n0AThe home kit is being launched on 1 November.[/url

IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!

Pause it at 13 seconds and you can see the typhoo logo in black writing on a red background.

It looks as though it's written over the top of the v. The rest of the kit looks pretty identical to the current kit.

Big thick v by the looks of it. Would have much preferred a red band around the middle.

you really are impossible to please aren't you!!

Yup. High maintenance me.

This red vee thing is just boring now. Red band is just as traditional.

Can anyone with a bit of design talent do a mock up so we can compare and contrast when they do the reveal?

without trawling thro all the posts on this subject,I think the "Knowsley stadium" sounds great,as it will have ties in with the old place & one of our current big sponsors namely Knowsley safari park.i know it will have the stadium bit in it but will we be able to get it with just one name.the stadium bit gets it neatly rounded off imo.

Sorry but the Knowsley Stadium is rubbish. For a start it's not in Knowsley and has nothing to do with Knowsley. There's just no connection between Knowsley and Knowsley Road. [size=50Apart from the word Knowsley obviously[/size

Kit-wise I'd like the single broad red hoop for the home kit and the sky blue & chocolate hoops for the away.

If Typhoo start sponsoring the Challenge Cup would it become the Tea Cup?

How sure is everyone that the stadium will actually get a sponsor. How do you know they won't name it "Saints Stadium/Park/Field", for instance?

It's possible , especially if the right deal isn't available in the current climate.
