SAINTS would like to thank all the fans, players, coaching staff and club officials who came down to Langtree Park today to clear the pitch ahead of tonight’s friendly with Dewsbury Rams.
Keiron Cunningham led the efforts with his coaching team as well as first team players such as Jonny Lomax, Tommy Makinson, Shannon McDonnell and Matty Fleming.
But it was the numbers of fans who came down and toiled throughout the morning that ensured the game could go ahead.
“It was fantastic to see so many people here at Langtree Park and once again, on behalf of all at the club, and Dewsbury, we thank them for their time,” said CEO Mike Rush. “Club officials, physios, community staff and Academy players joined the first team coaching staff and players in their efforts.
“Although it was duly noted that Alex Walmsley failed to show up, we really appreciate the players’ time this morning. Seriously though, this is why St Helens is such a great community club!”
Saints covered the pitch ahead of the snow arriving but with a couple of inches of snow overnight asked volunteers to come and clear it.
Then, the covers were removed – the Langtree Park surface uneffected by the weather.
The volunteers were offered free tickets for tonight’s game.
Tonight’s game kicks off at 6.30pm.
