I know you like to look on the bright side but no need for mindless optimism!

https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2024/05/03/s ... -fc-women/ Well this will put an end to the jibes about our pitch. We will have a state of the art PL quality pitch now. Good income stream commercially for the club too. Despite what people may think about women's football it is without doubt a rapidly growing sport. As a Utd fan though my only concern is a potential revamp of the stadium if they are including Liverpool crests etc all over. This will divide non Liverpool supporting football fans

As long as the income from the women playing there outstrips the loss of income from the sale of potatoes it'll be a winner.

Saints Scousers, nothing new there. lol.

Stu that with the crests will only be temporary for when they're playing surely. If I have to rock up to Saints games and see that poop all over the place I won't be happy.

Financially, I think this is a very important step for Saints.

The Man Utd badges are up permanently at Leigh so I'd guess same will be true at the Totally Boss La Stadium

Not sure, depends how much work is involved in removing/fitting. There is an overlap of both seasons from February to May and August to September so I don't know how it will work out.

Stu and YG, sorry if it’s been covered but what’s your thoughts on Dodd leaving?

A bit of a blow but nowhere near the loss Welsby would have been. Not in the same league as him as a talent.

As far as I am aware Derek doesn’t own the stadium it’s either partially owned or fully owned by the council. I don’t think Derek has any say what goes up
