Um, Warrington fans aren't going to be renting the Stobart for a full season so it's totally irrelevant what they think. Saints fans are going to be using the East Stand throughout 2011 so it is important, given that Saints club are paying rent to Halton Council, that all the fans have a good chance of seeing the screen.
What has paying rent to HBC got to do with people in the East Stand watching the tele? The screen (at all grounds) goes in the safest place, where the majority can see, you've not even watched a game at Widnes with the screen in place therefore you don't know how obstructed you will be. All this for 5-6 matches a year. And here's me thinking you were renting the ground to watch what was on the pitch.
You should be pleased that such a good ground was a 20 minute drive from St Helens when you couldn't time the building of a new stadium and the end of your old one very well. Seeing the big screen isn't a big deal when you have a comfortable ground to play your rugby in in the meantime!
