It might be too late if we were approaching them for the first time now... but a contingency plan has probably/possibly already been drawn up. Maybe this is another reason for the Friday deadline? Maybe it's not all about the money and there is a deadline from the BSP? All hypothetical and speculation... but the Chairman of the BSP has already said that they would have no objections to Southampton playing in the BSP?

All these numbers, it's getting confusing... please allow me to start again. Now, the punishment for entering administration and failing to provide a CVA is... -10 for the administration. -17 for the CVA So that's -27... feel free to add a couple extra if there are any irregularities. Do you think that the Leagues response ( which was due today, wasn't it? ) stated that the creditors had voted on the terms and agreed that no CVA would be granted, so -27 is a definate under the current terms of both parties bid?

I am speculating on the reasons that the two main consortiums have both run away this morning... it has to be more than a coincidence. No CVA and even minor financial irregularities will mean that we start on -30, if we use Luton as an example. We know that the Football League were looking into the accounts of SFC Ltd and SLH.... what did they find? Could this be the reason about the 'Football League not playing ball' ?

You can only attract players prepared to play / good enough to play in each division. -30 in L1 ... You will attract sub-standard L1 players or 'better' L2 players. Blue Square Premier - You will attract the very best non-league players and even some league journeymen wanting one last swansong. So, comparitively, you are much more likely to win games in the Blue Square than you are in League 1.

If we go bust, we will 'only' drop to the Blue Square... I imagine they are well in the loop and have already pencilled in Southampton for next season. If we go bust then I fully accept the Blue Square to do anything possible to accomodate us in their league... it would certainly add alot more prestige to the division and commercially they would be stupid not to.

Ted Bates Statue Ali Dia Harry Redknapp Pinnacle Paul Allen Various occasions of being 'Giant Killed' Points Deductions Stoneham Rupert Lowe Michael Wildes Takeover Our final 3 attendances last season The 'all-stars match' fiasco Relegation from the PL Relegation from the Championship -10 in League 1 King Keegans return Meh..... to name but a few.... they say you can't pick your club.... if only that wasn't true.

So, I don't for one minute think it is simply a coincidence that Jacko's lot and Pinnacle have jumped ship on the same morning. So what could the reasons be? I think that Pinnacle's bidder jumped ship, possibly last week... and they desperately searched for a replacement and came up with that joker Fialka. But why did both consortiums walk this morning? The only reason I can think of is that Fry made both aware that their offers where never going to be enough to satisfy the CVA, and possible financial irregularities... meaning that we could be looking at -30 next season and almost certain relegation to L2.... which blows out any chance of a '5 year plan' I don't believe Jacksons lot were chancers... maybe they picked the wrong man to be the public face? I don't believe Pinnacle were chancers... at least until their 'substantial wealth' individual undoubtably backed out last week ( I still think it was Lloyd-Webber or Tabor ) It does now pose the question.... -30 in League 1 next season, or fresh start in the Blue Square Premier? Personally I would go for fresh start, I am completely f*cked off with all of this and almost beyond the point of caring.

Are you the funny one who always dresses up like a dog in the Old Cadets?

Wah, they must have taken it off.... my Uncle always came down on a direct Virgin Cross Country Train. OK then, change at New Street.

The best all day drinking session in the world. Ever.

Hmmm, Bournemouth away during the day for Denzils welcome back party or Beggarsa Fayre. Decisions, decisions.

Less than 2 weeks to go till the highlight of the year in Romsey, how many of you fools are coming along for the best all day sesh in the world, ever?

18th July, Aswad supporting. Cheeeeeeeeel Winston. :cool:

Bateman, get your tickets for Madness in Romsey sunshine.... is gonna be a blinder!

Plenty on ticketmaster! Aswad supporting as well... quality stuff!

Playing Broadlands, Romsey July 18th! Can't wait!

Pay the extra for the comfort and go direct from Southampton with no changes.

Madness sounded great.... looking forward to seeing them in Romsey on the 18th July now.

It was not 20 somethings.... the ages were from 18 to 50's Fair play to them, gutted I couldnt make it, sounds like they had a top day.

What are your views on Saints fans singing in pubs in towns all over the country when Saints are playing away? By the way, it was actually nearer 100, not 30-40.

Maybe you should stop gobbing off from behind your PC you brave boy. A load of Saints lads went down to Weymouth... ( as has been done the last few years ) and had a few beers. This year dedicated to a massive Saints fan who was killed in a crash. Can you tell me why it is embarrassing? Maybe you will tell people to their face rather than gobbing off from the safety of your PC... spineless c*nt.

No, I have used my ex job and my missus current job as examples of industries which are not massively well paid but they don't sit there and moan about it. I never demanded respect for her job, just stated that you don't see nurses walking out over pay and conditions like the Fire Service did... which is why I fookin hate the Fire Service.

Weston, you are a smart chap... but I am concerned that you don't know the definition of going 'on strike' and the difference between striking and someone walking out on their job... which is exactly what 'awol' is... difference being that you have to give a minimum of 1 years notice in the forces... some people don't want to work it. Have you ever left a job without working your notice? If so, is that 'going on strike' ? Here's one definition a group's refusal to work in protest against low pay or bad work conditions Please take note of the word 'group' . :-)

Well O.K Mr Pedant.... how many people based on these shores have gone on strike? How many people moan about their wages? They don't.

How many times do you hear people in the Forces going on strike or moaning about their pay?
