At least some common sense today in the announcement from big favourite Big Mac that he was wrong in the programme notes last week, saying only the first few matches of the season would need to be played away from home, well he did not say he was wrong! but that St Helens RLFC will play next season's games at Widnes. That is common sense, the work on the new stadium has to be right and not just rushed.

How good full houses nearly at Hull and Wigan looked on TV, the KC stadium is such a good ground for atmosphere.

Aren't we Jumpy! calm down - I was making more reference to the new stadiums! RL Clubs have rather then the decrepit current Knowsley Road, which everyone excepts! and not the context of full houses for games.

Warrington's ground is okay but nothing more, Wigan again okay but as I sad The KC is a Stadium! - now settle down and read next time - LOL

Love this quote from Big Mac on the Beeb website:

"We've very much gone for quality in terms of specification rather than quantity. So I would like to think this will be the highest quality and most atmospheric stadium in club rugby league and club rugby or either code."

Where's jaybs when you need him anyway . . . . .

Will you be keeping the same groundsman (Is it still John Edwards?) for the new stadium or is it going to be outsourced? Hope you get a belter of a pitch to match the stadium.
Just some other Q's, are there going to be rock/music concerts & the like held there to bump up the income or is it solely going to be for St.Helens SL matches only? (You had SL, 21's, Academy & SH Town play on KR at one point)
