Wendall Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 If this happens I think it will be a great move. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport...ark-switch.html ST HELENS want to play next year's home fixture with Warrington at Goodison Park. They will play most of 2011's home games at Widnes while a new 18,000-seater stadium is built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled Wiganer Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 This is a superb idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 If both clubs push this as a real 'event' match and just market the hell out of it, especially to kids, this could be a very good opportunity indeed.

Any Rugby League fans in the Everton squad? They could get easily over 20,000 for this match. A lot of Wire would go over to Goodison especially if it was a big season opener.

tim2 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 They could get easily over 20,000 for this match. A lot of Wire would go over to Goodison especially if it was a big season opener. They should get more. If Saints are serious about filling an 18K stadium, and Warrington are playing as well as they are this year, and they market it to Everton fans and the wider Liverpool community, they should be targetting 30-40K Then again, this is RL. St Helens or Warrington to Liverpool is just too far to go, isn't it. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976PMJwires Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Great move by Saints if this correct If the game is priced and marketed right should be 25K plus game. also, great idea, as Wires only go to the Halton for Semi Finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 That has to be the worst article ever! Four lines! And they still managed to feck up the picture caption... "TEMPORARY MOVE ... Saints coach Mick Potter might take charge at Goodison" Err... no he won't. He'll be coaching Bradford that year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuke Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 hopefully they should get 30k and try to set a new sl record if everton season ticket holders (kids) get a free ticket it may encourage parents ect... have a good band performing ect....

deluded pom? Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Tim Cahill iv'e be told. Didn't Tim Cahill's cousin play for Samoa at th 2008 WC? Not sure who it was though. Just checked and apparently he's the cousin of Ben Roberts AND Apollo Perrelini. Edited July 22, 2010 by deluded pom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluded pom? Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It's not confimed though is it. It simply say Saints want to play at Goodison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 St Helens played Castleford at Anfield on 27 April 1997 winning 42-16 in front of 12,329. The experiment was not repeated....

BringBacktheBiff Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I like the idea just hope it comes up, would be embarrasing for RL if there are loads of empty seats shown on TV. I think giving Everton season ticket holders free or discount tickets is a great suggestion. If Cahill is a big league fan could maybe try get him involved on the promo side especially when marketing to the soccer fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
