Rogues and me are best Buddies, its his family I feel sorry for

The away end for Saints is the West Stand. The East Stand is for us plebs who will be standing in our new stadium. I know this because I have East Stand on my season ticket.



Therefore, most Saints fans won't be able to see the big screen. Just one half of the North Stand (if they are low enough to peep round), the away end (West Stand) and the South Stand. That's poor.

Heard a rumour that we are planning to move the screen soon - best place would be in the south west corner.

I hope that is the case.

On the whole, i was happy today, a good run out for the lads and they are all a lot fitter, wilkin and wheeler especially look better. We strolled to put 40 on them by half time, then swapped 4 forwards and not surprisingly lost some momentum.

I was impressed by Shenton and LMS, both seem to have slotted into the team very well in a short period.

We'll have a better look how their doing against Hudds, hopefully again with two fairly full strength squads

saints under 20's suffered a loss today.



YORK City Knights were 34-30 victors against a St Helens Under-20s side in a pre-season friendly at Huntington Stadium.



The Knights try scorers were Tom Bush, Jonny Presley, new skipper Alex Benson, Duane Straugheir (2) and Jack Lee.



Chris Thorman kicked four goals and Lee Waterman one.

The big screen was there when we were in SL with no major issues, however the East Stand wasn't finished then. North stand was ok.



If you're worried about seeing the big screen, stay at home and watch it on TV! Wire fans don't whinge and most of their standing fans can't see the screen.



Regarding the game, I thought Graham was outstanding again and will be a big loss for you next year. I thought we competed well particularly in the second half considering the gulf between the two teams.

Plus Points :



LMS looks a cracking signing our man of the match deffo

Shenton looks like he's played for us for a few seasons

Set plays in the first half was good to see. Royce putting his mark on the team which is good to see.

All the players look in shape no bingo wings



Overall quite impressed



Negative Points:



Meli - half @r5ed display and still can't catch? 5h1t at full back?

Scott Moore can't pass the ball or keep hol of it? Rubbish effort he needs to improve under Royce or feck off

Defence was shocking in the 2nd half, room for improvement there?

Fosters kicking was pants, he needs to get some practice in?

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.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. He's got this big reputation as a wonderful kicker, but the percentages just do not add up. He has one of the lowest kicking percentages in the league.

Anyone got any idea's why Saints advertised season tickets for the West Stand but have moved us all to the smaller East Stand?

id guess that they've not sold as many as they thought they would
