Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

| Quote (Saint) Does anyone else have any strange nondescript games that inexplicably stick in their mind?'"
My first game was a nondescript sort of game, routine win over Halifax in 1984, I only remember a couple of things. After going in under the scoreboard, seeing the crowd and thinking wow!!! (even though by todays standards it was rubbish) Then looked at all the players on the pitch and I just immediately fixed on one player. ="(Saint) Does anyone else have any strange nondescript games that inexplicably stick in their mind?'"
My first game was a nondescript sort of game, routine win over Halifax in 1984, I only remember a couple of things. After going in under the scoreboard, seeing the crowd and thinking wow!!! (even though by todays standards it was rubbish) Then looked at all the players on the pitch and I just immediately fixed on one player. "Who's that??" to my grandad. "That's Mal Meninga" If WTF had been invented in 1984 I'd have said it. I'd heard about him and Vievers and wanted to see them, but he wouldn't take me until this day, when he finally gave in. And even though the tight sod only took me in at half time when it was free, it was the best thing he ever did for me!!! If he hadn't took me I could have missed out being a Saints fan, missing the greatest comeback at Wembley, 41-6, Wide to West, and funnily enough, some of the dirty players who really riled the crowds into a frenzy, like Skerrett, Cowie, Newton, etc, but Brendan Tuuta most of all for some mad reason!!
Sadly, my grandad passed away in 2006 from cancer but during that year watching probably the best Saints side ever gave him a lot of pleasure to take his mind off things. I'll shed a tear or two tomorrow knowing that it's the end of an era for all us Saints and sharing many fantastic memories with the man who brought me to what is truly the greatest game.

I think it will hit me more when the fixtures are released for next year and I am traipsing off to Widnes.

| Watching your game on Sky lastnight it took me back to the last game at the old Craven Park,very emotional times. My mam still has one of the old wooden seats from the stand in her garden. Don't know what it'll be like with Knowsley Road but before they demolished Craven Park we were allowed to go in and get 'souvenirs'. Can imagine how you were all feeling at the end  | | |

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"I'll admit it. I cried. I must admit the closeness of the game until the hour mark distracted me somewhat, but once it was settled it all came flooding back.'"
I held it together last night, i wasn't as sad as i thought i'd be but will miss the old place very much. | | | |

Saints are charging fans for souvenirs; there is no being allowed to go in and get them! | | | |
