70's Mike

young lads can tackle ok but they lack upper body strength so can be moved off the ball to easily , the football team Jan played in was full of big strong players. It seems a trait of our academy to produce "Mr Wu's" rather than "Mr T's"

Economic ruin awaits all very well cutting costs but income loss will kill us , a defeat tonight will hammer Saturdays gate

Wait for "the why should they reply" It would be interesting to do a survey of all clubs out side the Premiership to see how many of them are supported by , or have Loans from Directors.

I hope you are right but I fear that teams may have sussed us out. Let us have the ball between the 2 boxes because we cannot defend our own box or hurt teams in theirs.

i see no one has argued with that yet

I wonder who will get the honour of landing the blow which takes Rupes to the top

top post , i wonder if Guy pays for his seat now Rupes is back.

Dave Diaper is a top bloke, went to school with him and played in the same Sunday side as him for many years in mid to late 70's.

Surely Eastleigh or VT have a top coach

Good Summary. How can 3 people **** it up for so many ? All 3 should hang their heads in shame

Football training for Tyro side I run , evening games were meant to be Tuesday this season, so will not be there. As a season ticket holder they have my money so my personal steward can be given the night off , thus saving the club money

i make no secret of my loathing for Rupert and his group but to be fair to him this thread should be aimed at Messrs Askham, Richards,Gordon and our Coroner who have had big money out of the club. But i will not hold my breath

The night of the Newcastle game was full of crowd trouble if i remember correctly

do they need any

wait for "why should he " ?

not likely lets find out the t*ssers address in Skatesville

Give me your address and i will send you a fiver so you can post more than 3 times

i was there but cannot remember if it was raining

Typical Skates 40 years behind the Saints

If Rupert had put in half of the sum quoted above , well who knows.

Which makes it strange why Rupert and Michael did not become best buddies then because the club was being run by someone who had no investment in it. Wilde basically gave control and then kept in control Hone

and Hone was appointed by and worked for ?

Forgot that although it was a team build because of money and then lack of it. Sperrings , a name from the past, wonder how many in the city used to say "meet you outside Sperrings and then get bus into Town"

Sums up our problems on the pitch for me, it is not about tackling strength but upper body strength and we lack it.

as my eldest lad said driving us home from Qpr on Sunday, he is 20 so he has watched the team in the premiership since he was 6, "Dad the problem is we have been to Universal theme parks in Orlando and now you expect us to get exited by going to Paultons, Get Real." In our youth there was nothing else other than the County Ground, Speedway or Ice Hockey if you loved football you went to the Dell, now the alternatives are vast and the worst thing of the lot is you can still love football and never see a live game. Progress ? not sure myself
