Only when the tannoy tells them to.

Deary me. The tannoy has never told us to sing. What used to happen is there was a huge click like someone pressing a massive hammer button on a 1970's tape recorder and then chants of "Northern! Northern!" (in Welsh accents) came out of the tannoy.

No I never get lonely at all thanks! it is funny though born and brought up the Town, only rugby league ground I have been abused and pushed around at is Knowsley Road, called a Cockney **** and pushed around by more than a few, while others in their seats just looked on when I was leaving the stand? The Stoop and Upton Park (my football team West Ham) never happened once!

When we took our Under 16 RL team to play two games in London, West Ham gave is free tickets and some of the young lads were so worried going to Upton Park, never have I seen people so friendly and accept visitors and ask about rugby league as the lads all had their club sweaters on!

I read some other random post you made and I cant sus you out, Your from sthelens and supported them , then you decided to go support some London clubs? Is that right or did I just get lost in all your b*lls**t?

Re: Atmosphere & Attendance : Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:25 pm  

Are we expecting a good atmosphere? We need to make some noise and support the lads on the pitch.

Now what a big boy you are that you need to use words like above, that sums you up more than me!

Yes I did support St Helens as a kid, but as became more involved with rugby league I got to see the truth, I like many others attempted to bring around changes but no the St Helens Board would never change so I just supported my football team home and away West Ham, then with expansion of rugby league I decided to throw my hat in, support and sponsor them!

Poyser11 you may also mock, look at your own club currently in it's season at Widnes and attendances? how well was that planned by Big Mac the man who must never be questioned? lose a few matches and how easy even at the end of last season some sections of the then Knowsley Road crowd gave some real stick to players, are they real supporters, No! give a little credit to those in our game who stick through thick and thin! you may be laughing now, wonder if you will always laugh?

Big Mac is obviously doing a better job than whoever was in charge of Fulham RL

No true supporter could change allegiance, regardless of how a board of directors behaves. It's like me jumping ship and supporting Wigan (I feel dirty even typing that). I have far more respect for Rogues and his ilk because even though he talks total bobbins half the time he is at least a true supporter of his team (i'd even include clowns like Nikos in that sentance). Rugby league is a sport - it isnt an episode of the xfiles, what would you want the Saints board to change? What truth was so disturbing that could turn you away from supporting your hometown club? I'm not even gonna go there with the football thing and west ham .. I think your one of these attention seeker types who just wants to be seen as 'different' when in reality your just the same as everyone else.

Well how you come to compare Ron Close the then owner of Fulham RL with Big Mac I am not sure?? but what I do know is that our current chairman has invested much more into the game in London than Big Mac! has in St Helens

That is your opinion and I respect it if a little dramatic!

Though what you say about writing the name Wigan does amuse me. that in fact seems really petty to me and sums up the real parochial attitude of some Northern RL supporters something I always thought was more Yorkshire prevalent?

Hundreds of thousands of football fans travel the UK supporting clubs not in their area more so Manchester United fans from London.

IF you knew me more personally you would find or see the "attention seeking" comment to be a pure joke, if i had ever wanted that I could do it many better ways, all I am doing is expressing a personal opinion and how I made my own choice of the club I support and follow which I am not ashamed of, but all the time the Game of Rugby League comes first!
