St Louis

That is exactly what he meant by the comments! He is a close friend of MLT and Benali, and shares their frustrations with the current 'regime'. I'm sure it was just a throwaway comment, and not about getting new members from the East!

He wasn't happy on the bench at City, so was loaned out. What makes people think he will be happy to sit on our bench and on a fifth of the wages?

You are right, he will be getting £95,000 a week when 'Arry gets his hands on him!

Sorry if this is a stupid question.... I am currently a Season Ticket holder, but am considering transferring my seat to a different part of the ground. Would that still make me a 'renewal' or would I be a 'new' buyer?

I would be very surprised if the design wasn't signed off months ago, so somebody within the club/adidas/marketing will have seen it and know for sure! I work for a marketing agency and we are working on the launch of AFC Bournemouth's new kits, and we saw them for the first time 2 months ago.

Are you sure you dont work for Saints and use the Dissertation line as a smoke screen? Only kidding, I have filled it out for you and best of luck with it all!

Maybe just on here then for ease...?

Noticed last night how difficult it is going to be to start a chant with the new gaffers name.... Should we shorten it to 'Mo Po' for linguistic ease? (Much like Spurs have done with AVB) Could we have a poll here?

Ive been trying to buy a couple of additional tickets for the Spurs game (28th) online, but any block I click on it says ZERO available. Am I just being a donut or has this game sold out? (or is the new all singing online system broken again!!?)

South American Footie Transfer Chat on Talksport NOW! Maybe they will mention our Ramirez saga...?

Sky Sports saying it's a done deal! Wahoooooo! http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7912170/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+skysports%2FCnFH+%28Sky+Sports+%7C+Football+News%29

Absolutely spot on! My feelings articulated better than I ever could! However, I am still more excited than I've ever been about a forthcoming season, so the glass is still half full for me!

If its any help to others, I got through on the 01271 number this morning and sorted tickets. Took about 5 attempts of getting the engaged tone, and was then on hold for 10 mins, but did eventually get through and all sorted! What a mess, but keep the faith!

Just a thought... Do you think the strips could have a slight Swiss tribute to them?

Thank you so much, the shirts arrived today! Can't believe peoples generosity here, we now have over 20 shirts to take out! We are due to go out in either November or January, so we will be sure to take hundreds of photos and videos to post and share. May be able to give them to my Dad to take over sooner if he comes back between now and November. Thanks again to everyone!

Fantastic, thank you! We now have about 15 ready to take out!

Tweeted and voted on FB! Great blog, thanks for the hard work for our benefit!

Please dont think for one second I am stirring it up here (or looking for attention) as I am a massive Nigel Adkins fan, but I also have it on extremely good authority (I wont be sharing names on here for obvious reasons) that there is tension between Cortese and Adkins! NC was extremely disappointed that we didn't have the stamina to go on and win The Championship after leading for so long and was furious after the Reading defeat at home, which led to no communication between NC and NA until after the Coventry game! I am not saying he is about to sack NA, but I dont think it would take too much (like a small blip at the start of the season) for changes to be made. I am a huge fan of NC and love how he has transformed our club, but don't underestimate his ambition, as the above statement is fact.

Corby Moore is the nephew of a friend of mine, does anyone know if he is one of the 'hotter prospects'? I've never seen him play, and she doesn't seem to really know too much about his ability! Would be interested if anybody has seen him play if they think he could progress to first team.

I'm also a closet geek! As well as the obvious benefits of watching Saints in the Premier League, I am also looking forward to the Premier League Sticker Album and playing as Saints in PES 2013!

I've personally spoken to one of the Head Stewards at SMS who told me that he and his team have already been briefed on what extra Health & Safety Certificates they will need to get 'when' the Stadium is increased to 40,000! I have it on good authority that the Kingsland Stand will be the first to be extended, taking the stadium to a 40k capacity, and this 'will' happen if Saints can get back to the Premier League and stay there beyond their first season.

The story has made The Echo.... Wahoooooo! My brother was interviewed by them a couple of weeks back, and this is the result.... (unfortunately they used a picture of one of the younger lads out there and not the pic of Hassan himself, oh well) http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/9639890.Saints_get_great_support_from_Gambia/

Hi Mike, I just wanted to say another massive thanks for sending the shirts, it's so generous of you! I returned from work yesterday to find the package. Basically the guy is Saints mad, and he is trying to spread the Saints word to all who will listen, so really I'd just say anything you could spare and dont want anymore would be loved over there! Regarding the club officially.... they havent really been able to help us as they have their fingers in a lot of pies already with the Saints Foundation, so weren't able to help us or let us have a drop box in the club shop for shirts. But we completely understand that, as they have their own charities to help, and apparently shirts going over to Africa already. The Echo interviewed my brother this week, so hopefully that should be featured soon, and they are considering whether shirts can be sent to their HQ and they would hold them for us until we have enough to take out and kit the full team! Thanks to all for your kind words and generosity!

That's amazing, thank you so much! I appreciate that so much, and I know that Hassan and the gang will be totally made up. I'll make sure we get some pictures up on here.

Sorry for not being online to respond in the las few days..... Wow! I cannot believe what a great and positive response this thread has received! Thank You so much to everyone! Just a little update..... The Echo are calling us shortly to interview us and do a feature on The Gambian Saints Supporters Club, so they have obviously picked up and been touched by the story too. My Dad is due back in the UK today, and will then be flying back out there the following weekend (on Easter Sunday) so I guess if you would like any of your old kits or memorabilia to go out there, then it would be easiest if posted to me to arrive here in the next week, then I could give them to him to take back out. If any of you are genuinely up for being that kind and generous, then please post them to: Mr L Reeves, Flat 7 'Pinewood', 38 Lowther Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8 8NQ and I will make sure they get taken out. I can then post photographic evidence on here (when I get it) of them proudly wearing the stripes! I appreciate it's a big ask, and you would be basing this on trust, but if you do wish to donate, then please get in touch or post to the address above. But we don't have much time if we want it out there soon. My Dad wont be returning to the UK again until late summer, and is not then back out there until November. So it would be great if we could move fast with this. Thanks again for the Saints love, I'm overwhelmed.... as I'm sure Hassan and the his fellow Gambian Saints will be!
