You should have moved to the LSV instead, best pitch in RL.

Damn right. However, there are no buses. Mind you, not that having buses inspires Saints fans to travel to Widnes any more than it would had we gone to the LSV. I like the LSV. It's a smashing little stadium. Much nicer than the Stobart.

But your money would have been going to Wigan council.

It would also have been the best way for you to watch SL as a spectator, seeing as Leigh will never make it.

Prefer Widnes after all!

The LSV looks crap from the outside. It's nice inside tho.

Re: Pitch at Widnes : Mon May 09, 2011 9:40 pm  

I can watch SL anytime I like, Saints, Wire, Salford and t'Humbles are all within a few miles.

I even watched Leigh fail badly in SL, so I assume you meant 'again'

Saints looked at LSV, they have trained there this year as well btw, but decided on Widnes. ST's with transport included at a premium of £2/3 a game to make it affordable, plenty parking for 50/60 coaches on site plus 1000+ cars plus local off site parking.

Its history now, good luck with your move.

The LSV is further away from St Helens than is Widnes. The club will have known that getting Saints fans away from St Helens, away from the pub, is a challenge at the best of times and so getting them to a place where there is no direct bus route or train route was never going to happen. Even though the LSV is a much better all round facility. As it is, we have only reached double figures once this season so far and that is because half of Warrington turned out for the first home game of the season. But I think it was a shame we didn't go to the LSV. I certainly would have travelled there.

Leyther bringing LSV into off topic thread... Well I never and there the ones who bang on about off field being too important on a daily basis!
