Southerner Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Good news. What's the update with their stadium plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Toppy Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I think Ollie Davies will go well for Swinton. He was a long way down the list in terms of getting any 1st team games at Saints in the near future and they have a couple of really good youngsters coming up from the U19's to Reserves this year as well. Good move for the lad. St.Helens - The Home of record breaking Rugby Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Good news. What's the update with their stadium plans? Doesn't seem to be much action yet, although after the last car crash of a board, this one isn't making any false promises on time or spending money we haven't got. They are still aiming for 2019 I think "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good move for the lad. Heard good reports about him, He'll be up against some tough opposition for a place in the team with Rhodri Lloyd, Connor Dwyer and Andy Thornley currently signed on "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well develop and come back into SL in years to come but for where he is at now I think this is a good move for him St.Helens - The Home of record breaking Rugby Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yipyee Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 They should stop wasting money on players and get a ground sorted. The current set up is unsustainable! A bit of short term pain to guarentee the future of the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin James Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm not sure a having weak team struggling in League One would help finance a stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Chicken and egg situation, we need more people to attend to justify the new stadium. The only way that will happen is staying in the championship "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
