Re: Saints first home game v Widnes : Wed Jan 18, 2012 12:32 pm  

Out of curiosity have any of you encountered problems in gaining your tickets for this match?

I only ask because 2 friends of mine who are long time saints season ticket holders ordered and paid for 2 standing tickets (delivery charge also) at the end of november i think they said. They still hadn't recieved the tickets at the end of last week so rung the office to find out what the crack was. They were told that for some reason their tickets had been blocked even though all the money had come out of their account no problem, and obviously with the standing being sold out they couldnt give them the standing tickets they paid for.

I'm assuming this is probably just an isolated mistake but my 2 friends was just interested to see if this has happend to anyone else

Are we going to have some kind of sing song to say thank you to Eamonn tomorrow? It would be good if we could get something going as an appreciation to him for what he's done.

Re: Saints first home game v Widnes : Thu Jan 19, 2012 8:19 pm  

Also it would be nice if we could have a decent song for the first song sung at Langtree Park.

Perhaps a super slow 'When the saints go marching in' or 'you light up my senses'.

well the first song was "oh when the Saints!" during the training evening, but yes I agree a thank you for Mr Mac would be great

Sold out tonight. Enjoy the game folks.

Re: Saints first home game v Widnes : Fri Jan 20, 2012 1:02 pm  

I think Eamonn knows how much he is appreciated. I think he would just want us to get the place rocking tonight. First song for me has to be "Oh when the Saints go marching in" Would be nice to think we could get it going just after the first roar when the players run out.

Well the line up has been settled and La Frank is playing prop with Flash At loose. All in all a very good defensive pack. Probably with Sia and wilkin running the breaking lines forward. Three props on the bench can't be bad either. Once TP is fit that will add another attacking forward to the ranks.

Not tonight it wasn't! Lots and lots of work to do in defence, especially for a few players. Laffranchi, Soliola, Meli (the latter two, no surprises there!).

We really did miss James Graham defensively.

Well, in all respects really.

But it was an interesting game. And an interesting take on 'sell out' as well! The latter is nothing new for Saints mind, since a sell out is rarely a sell out when it's Saints.
