it better end soon because the threads on here are going in ever decreasing circles, we need to be talking about players, managers and the date the fixtures come out, price of season tickets, how we will all be able to fit in the Itchen and the Kingsland when the new owner announces that the Northam and Chapel are to be shut to save money

and how long will that "initial " support last? imo whoever takes over is not going to splash much cash , realistically we are a div 3 side/club and our ambitions must be tempered with realism

Agreed unless Rupert is involved, my season ticket money for 2 adults and a 14 year old is ready to roll.

Smithfield was a meat market

100% to the board of money grabbers in 1997

good jobs the views on here do not reflect the views of those not on here

Would dispute 1)

i asked the same question a few weeks back and never really heard a plausible explanation. who sent out cheques making us overdrawn and why ?

i have instructed my son who is home first each day, to hide any letters from Nat West or the wife will know we have a grand sat there waiting for the day

i would if they would let me buy a season ticket

So if he has put money in, are you saying you would rather he had not ?

this story has really cheered me up

where have i heard that before

its called Fareham and Whiteley these days, very little space

John the argument has been done to death but i will never believe there was not another way, Rupert and Wilde concentrated on one side of the equation cutting costs, like the poor businessman they are, they never considered or appeared to consider the effect on income , they appear to have believed we were all fools and that people would turn up whatever the product

Basically what i meant to say, i personally would have loved us to gain a reputation of "one nil to the southampton", We both grew up watching young players being given a chance, Paine, Chivers, Channon, Williams, Moran, Shreare, Wallaces and Le Tiss, and would have loved the experiment to have worked but i believe, no one really believed it would other than Lowe and Co. We will pay the price for a kids play ground feud between about 10 grown men and women.

Nick, i am struggling to believe the last sentence. The reality is that no club in the land maintains its gates if it continues to produce dross, especially as out dross was a board decision.

In the past when you went to Norwich or Ipswich there were as many coaches bringing in home fans as there were away fans, even in the days we took loads of fans to Ipswich. I believe that still to be the case, not sure if the clubs paid part of the cost or not but i am sure they organised it. Whereas we had free bus travel but only withing the city limits

But who are the Creditors? Norwich Union Barclays Electric Board But who else ? Staff have been paid which is unusual in these circumstances So who is holding out for more? Or is there ACTUALLY no Real Bid from anyone , no matter how small

do not want to get in an argument but if that comes to 100 fans i would be surprised, gates were down because of the product not the chairman

not me

More likely the Trotter brothers or Steptoe and Son
