Sadly NO.

They are part of the heritage of the game but we had no choice but to dance to the Sky Pipers tune I'm afraid and embrace the moderm marketing era

Unfortunately for heritage, aye.

In view of the games development, I am being a flat capper. :wink:

As I remember it all of the clubs in SL were forced to get an American nickname for marketing purposes, but we got away with it because we were already using the 'Saints' logo as a brand.

Thank f**k for that.

I think they actually were called the Bombers for a season or two. IIRC the fans revolted against it and they got rid of the name. Then called themselves the bluesox. I bet a few people wished they'd kept shtum.

St Helens Swines owing to close proximity to Piggy Fletchers (and the swines are now trotting out onto the pitch)
St Helens Scorpions the team with a sting in their tail.
Seriously though let's just stick with good old SAINTS!






There are no pies left in this van overnight!
