According to Facebook:

"St Kilda Football Club Good morning Sainters! Stay tuned for a VERY exciting announcement later this morning."

Anyone have an idea on what the announcement will be?

Yeah, just saw it on facebook too. Sounds good.. Hmm. New sponsor perhaps???

happens at the football also, futrating to the extreme

Wouldn't exactly call a new sponsor VERY exciting

Just a left-field guess to add something a bit different to the mix, an addition to staff? Coaching, Football Department, etc

The Cats have been found to have seriously breached the rules and we are being awarded the Premiership? Probably not that.

I know you're only kidding with this, but I would hate to be awarded a premiership this way, just handed it by default.....would lose all sense of achievement and excitement

Agree. Neanderthals

All confirmed now - Ross has been given an extension til the end of 2013!!

This is great news i think!!

After that, he will have been at the helm 5 years - so half way of what Westaway promised!

I NEVER read the comments- the same people use EVERY saints announcement to Bag Raph...
they are probably NOT even saints supporters

I read the news and follow any links but apart from reporting a couple for posts bordering on Racial abuse I haven't gone back

NOTE: same news is usually on the twitter link on Bottom right of Saints Home page- so if you DO NOT wish to go onto the Social networking - or can't due to PC locks- you can still see the news.

I was kinda close, he's just not a new member of staff!

Some idiot has already posted on facebook "Ross Lyon=reason we lost the grand final"

but some very astute person posted "Ross Lyon=reason we made the grand final"
