This came as a bit of a shock to me.I was told today by one of the players that they now have to pay for the meals that the club provide. Now is that just penny pinching from the club or should the players pay for their own meals. I have to say i think it is a bit tight realy. I know it seems quite trivial but i think its out of order






simply the best

I think that is poor if true. Some of the younger players don't get paid a lot anyway.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
-
FIOS

I don't know if it's true or not, but the majority of companies do NOT now provide free meals. It actually became a tax problem and was classed as benefit in kind.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

The food would drop into the benefit in kind bracket, they can either pay for food or pay BIK tax. I would imagine that the club sub a chunk of the food cost like many companies do.

I would assume that the post-match food is still free as it's part of the entertaining the opposing team and would be similar to a sales rep taking a customer out for lunch.

Exactly, try explaining what a P11d is to some, let alone why their beans on toast is on it!






Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.

Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.

Pre match food is still free and always will be.

As for meals at training I'm not sure whether it is true but it's only the same as people paying for meals at work such as teachers paying for food at school

Why?

How many people get free meals at their job..

Like he said the majority do not, we get free tea and coffee at work but thats it
