Mrs G , Wirral Saint myself and Wirral Saint junior went on the stadium tour this afternoon and it was superb , the guide was helpful informative very patient with all the people dawdling at the back , and the meal at the end was magnificent well worth £15 ,
first thing we saw was this magnificent crest behind the reception desk we then went to the academy changing rooms I had not realised we had 4 changing rooms, the guide said that under no circumstances were the academy players allowed in the first team dressing room, (unless they are playing with the first team of course) to give them an incentive and push them harder to make it
still very nicely appointed thoughand of course the first team changing room with warm up area
we made our way through the tunnel to pitchsidei tol Wirral Saint he had a long wait for the next match but he wouldnt listenwalking round the concourse we noticed these TV`s mounted strangely on the wall the guide told us its because they will be split in two with the top portion showing ads and the bottom showing the game
everyone was well impressed with the murals around the concourse

one other i must mention is Alf Ellaby
I for one never knew his ashes were scattered at KR
on the walls up the stairs are the some spectacular pictures and in the lounges near the function rooms
and finally LUNCH!!!and very yummy it was , I had pork with crackling Mrs G had Chicken , boiled spuds carrots peas and cabbage and for afters sticky toffee pudding with custard terrific food and a superb day , oh one more thing , I had not heard of this but our guide told us some poor guy has a heart attack during the Widnes match and is still in intensive care , I am sure we wish him well and a spedy recovery but the amazing thing is that it took 15 minutes between him having the attack and him being in an ambulance on the way to Whiston, so well done to the St Johns and all who helped
