St Helens 3-8 Hull KR - Thursday Feb 21st,1985 att 9,292.

3-2 at HT and it stayed that way until about the 70th minute when Gary Clarke got in at the corner.

Gutted with that defeat as us Saints fans fancied Wembley that year with Meninga playing for us.We played him at 6 that night which back-fired as your forwards targeted him all night.

And being ahead of FC on the scoreboard for about 7 of 240 contested minutes.

I knew you were enjoying it!

North stand build finally getting off the ground was important too, in terms of the licensing criteria that... are about to be thrown in the bin.





Ah well, we do need some more covered seating and better facilities, so hopefully all for the best.

Renewal is never easy, but it was necessary, even more clearly so with hindsight, and we've made a start.

It would have been nice to finish above you lot but it's far from the be all and end all for me.

If we'd finished ninth and Hull tenth that would still be failure.

Agreed!
