Stuff the flood's, it's in an isolated part of Hell.

What would be nice is for the Sh@t Helen's catering staff to have enough food, snack, beer and above all staff to handle 8,000 away fans. Our last trip was an embaresment and huge dent in your clubs profits.

To me it makes logical sense, Saturday afternoon game, 8,000+ away fans = More staff, More beer, More food and above all..........more money for your club.

Come On Stains, get it sorted.

8,000 away fans

It's an unconventional style, a bit like Otm Shanks' in Cast Away, but he caught some...

Don't feed him and he'll go away!

Maybe there would have been 8000 away fans, but the weather will put some of them off....

We will see how many turn out at Old Trafford, if its anything like our visits to Wembley Warrington usually manage to magic up 30000 from somewhere.

Its looking good, saturday afternoon dry and sunny decent temperatures, most of our Saturday games have been decent performances.
Team had a week off, chomping at the bit, should start at 100 mph, wire playing less than 100% fit, Soliola under orders to flat pack Briers.
Reckon Johnny and Lance to create havoc taking on the line, looking forward to it.

I hope the wire fans bring there grand final tickets with them, we can barter at knock down prices.

I have not lived in the town now for a long time now i cannot remember Peasley X Lane getting flooded.If so did it affect the UGB/Rockware factory or did it not get flooded in them days,probaly more rain these days.Cannot blame the railway line as it been there for long enough.What about Sankey Brook.On the BBC 6pm news it says the river Sankey but as far as i know its always been the Sankey Brook or the St.Helens canal i could be wrong tho.There is a section of the canal near to the stadium where we saw people fishing once & parked cars not all where fishing.Tho i cannot see that section of the canal flooding.

Its blackbrook that was shown flooded on the one show.

Probably the bbc being PC and avoiding using the word Black in case its associated with negative connotations

Sankey Brook is the River Sankey. Its source is in St Helens (somewhere around Carr Mill Dam I think) and it ends up in the Mersey travelling via Widnes and Warrington. The Sankey Canal (also called St Helens Canal) was constructed alongside Sankey Brook and follows the same route. Black Brook is a tributary of the Sankey Brook. It was Black Brook that burst its banks in Blackbrook. However, Sankey Brook passes through Islands Brow and it burst its banks there. Also, Hardshaw Brook burst its banks just down the road from where I live, and the road is still closed. Black Brook and Hardshaw Brook both feed into Sankey Brook.

There endeth the lesson!
