Freak.

What are you talking about? Saints didn't build Stoneham. Don't worry about it. I reckon they never will now.

....

There is no football ground for Southampton Football club at Stoneham. It's made up. It's not there. It's made up.

I didn't even remember the question. Making up a stadium. Making up an attendance. Making up a season ticket sale. Making up a non waiting list. Making up a false choice. This is not evidence of a strong case of anything. So you've convinced me. I change my answer to definitely yes. Definitely.

I answered it. You made up another pointless one. The answer to that one is no.

I answered it you tedious p r ick.

No idea. You were blathering on about us playing at Stoneham which we never have and never will. Pointless, see?

Since when was thirty quid fifty quid?

More likely than us playing at stoneham which never happened and never did happen. And its a thread called Five Year Plan not "imagine the last twelve years as if we were playing at Stoneham". Any chance you're going to answer my hypothetical?

Since when was thirty quid fifty quid?

Not really two of those games would likely be on Sky or ESPN. There is also a recession on.

Not going answer mine then? I've answered your question about Stoneham. We don't play at Stoneham.

How about we deal in reality. I've done your hypothetical. Or lets just hypothetical each other to death. What if Cortese announces a flat £50 per ticket for man woman and child next season. We average 27k as a result. We sell out twice. Following season we average 27k again at 55 quid a ticket. Then do we need 40,000 seats? See. Pointless hypotheticals.

That is an appalling question. In a stadium that size 19k would be maxing out so I would support expansion. The max out level at SMS would be something like 25k which I am pretty sure we haven't done yet. Terrible question but there's your answer.

Remind me. I'm on tapatalk and the posts aren't numbered.

Funny that every club in Britain doesn't announce a major expansion plan after every time they sell out then isn't it?

You suggested we didn't have one because they weren't compulsory, rather than the fact we don't have a significant volume of fans wanting a ST who can't get one.

Any news on what a "compulsory waiting list" is by the way? You've had a day or so to work up an answer.

No. We have no waiting list so no concrete case to expand. That is based on fact. Yours are based on assumptions.

No he doesn't. For someone so teethgrindingly pedantic you make hell of a lot of completely baseless assumptions. Kind of pis s es on your already pathetic credibility.

I'd love you to find anyone saying anything remotely like this on this forum. Fu cking drama queens.

Maybe Everton in the Premier League in 2012 is not the same as Saints in 2005.....? You pick apart everyone elses but sling together your own random like-for-likes like a kleptomaniac in Harrods at midnight.

This is fair enough. Not the same as we need more seats now because we sold out against Bolton eight years ago. I also worry that having CL on a mission statement leads to over investment in players that the club on its own terms cannot afford. I wouldn't have Champions League on any mission statement. I'd say as high as possible in the Premier League every season. That gives you scope to do an Everton (maybe Newcastle) but just avoids doing a Leeds or a Pompey. It's an important mindset shift for me. We mustn't chase and chase. That way leads only to panic buying Joey Barton. Fulham, Stoke and Boro have had good runs in Europe on lower attendances than us, so lets remind those ungrateful enough to belittle our fantastic stadium that it is more than fit for purpose right now.

In what way is Adkins a maverick? Paul Sturrock was ten times the maverick Adkins is and Strachan was something of a nutcase too. Say what you like about Lowe but Adkins would be a perfect Lowe appointment, as would the likes of Brendan Rodgers and especially Brian McDermott, the perfect example of promoting from within, the Wigley done good. Pardew would be less of a fit but Lowe did appoint 'Arry.
