The intended audience is people looking at Saints twitter account, so I'd say it's meant primarily for Saints fans.

Secondly - life's way too short.  By the time I've done that I could have laid out a few new chairs, taken a picture and fixed this whole issue myself.

When Wakey's biggest problem is the state of the chairs in the dugout, I'll be a very happy man.

It's a very simple fix and now it's been highlighted, I'm sure it will be sorted.

But in truth, we have much bigger challenges to deal with.

I have to say that’s very poor from the St Helens media team and someone needs hauling over the coals for doing this. Whatever else we are, we are all Rugby League people and want the sport to pr

Indeed - and good luck with those challenges.  The redevelopment should make a real difference and I hope the club thrives and progresses wherever it plays next season.

Wakey and cas grounds are a disgrace for top flight rugby league they have got away with it for too long promising new grounds and producing fantasy drawings, it's about time the rfl made them bring there grounds into this century. 

Should have been kicked out of Super League and not allowed to return until them dump of grounds were sorted

There has been plenty of very reasonable discussion over why Wakey do not have a whole brand new ground like others have achieved.

HOWEVER, there is absolutely valid criticism to be made for parts of the ground, particularly those that the players use, just not being kept up at all. We're not talking millions of pounds here. Even if Wakefield thought they could be moving next month, those dugouts are totally unacceptable to be used right now. Its a cycle that has followed multiple ownership regimes and it is disappointing that it has continued into the present one. Basics, absolute basics, just not being done.

Well we haven't been, we're both still here!

Even if we get relegated, Cas and their "dump" will still be in SL.

Keep crying sweetcheeks!

And, of all the issues, it would the quickest to put right with minimal spend.

Or how little some clubs value their players

The fact it’s a simple,cheap fix that has needed to be highlighted by a visiting team is a problem though,amateur clubs look after players better,but let’s hope this problem is sorted quickly.

Job done by Saints then, if it is sorted, as professional sportsmen will now be treated as such by a professional club.

Fartown was in a better state when we abandoned it in 1992.

How sad.

No-one's taking flak from fans of a club who are beholden to a soccer club, and wholly reliant on an old man as benefactor.

Jog on.

Over 20 years they have been promising a new ground. OVER 20 YEARS

Promising?

Promising who?

Can you post me a link to something, anything that shows where Wakefield made these “promises”

It's been going on so long that such references don't even exist online.

Wasn't the game at Barnsley in 1999 supposed to be a precursor for improvements being made though, or was that when the Benidorm end was put together?

Really? You're going with this?

They don't exist. Full stop. That's it.

They never existed.

The club did not promise to re-build.

The RFL did not require a re-build as a condition of promotion.

It's an urban myth.

The financial organisation,commencing in the sixties,was always a topic of conversation. They had a very good following, home and away, organised lotteries and other financial off-shoots and the monies must have been rolling in but as years progressed, the echelons changed, the coffers were slowly drained. It has been a constant struggle ever since.

In that case could you please confirm the scenario around the aforementioned game at Barnsley?
