After The Goldrush??

You really are obsessed with Crouch aren`t you?

Could be that something like Radio Hampshire could be back in time for the season. PRESS RELEASE - 8th June 2009 Play Radio on FM in the South New Owners for Southampton & Winchester The licenses for Radio Hampshire in Southampton and Winchester have been acquired by Play Radio. The licenses were bought at 5pm on Friday from the liquidator's of Radio Hampshire Ltd. The winning consortium is promising a return for a local radio station for the south coasts biggest city as soon as possible!! http://www.playradiouk.com

I knew Chris in those days. I hadn`t seen him for many years and didn`t realise that he had passed on.

Thats the one.

They were good times at the old Club. I used to play darts there, they some pretty good cabaret performers there and I used to go for a pretty decent (and cheap) meal there before games. Of course Sunday lunchtimes with the stripper and the blue comedian (after playing Sunday morning football) were also quite memorable!

And the new MLT one?

I have been supporting Saints since the mid 50`s but the first time that I really heard anything about Poopey calling us "scummers" was in (I think) late 70`s/early 80`s. A Skate supporting singer called Shep Wooley who released a song which referred to Saints fans as "scummers" and ran into trouble in the press. I actually saw Wooley at the old supporters club at The Dell one Sunday lunchtime when they used to have a comedian and a stripper. He bombed with the audience, started crying, went backstage, pretending to change a broken guitar string and never came back!

I think that you may be right. I believe that The Referendum Party became UKIP after Sir James Goldsmith died.

Didn`t Rupes once stand as a candidate for UKIP?

Personally, I would prefer a complete clean sweep at the Club, but if it was to be one of the "protagonists" of the last few years that remained, then I suppose Crouch would be the one.

....ermmm;)

Radio Solent are reporting this morning that they "understand" that Leon Crouch will be invited onto the Board when the Pinnacle take-over is confirmed. They said that this could be controversial PR-wise with fans due to the in-fighting that occured when he was preiously Chairman.

We don`t get that many for a live game do we?

If we were to get to the final, I am sure that it will be an emulsional experience, but with Matt there I`m also sure that the gloss won`t be taken off the day

I agree with you. Mind you, it COULD actually turn out to be our best pre-season ever! Lets hope!

The problem is that until the "deal is done" we are all (me included) twitchy and susceptible to any nonsense posted on here. I believe the things posted by NSS (and considering that he is a skate, that is something!), Tony Lynham and the Farmer (and one or two others). I am am going back to my bottle of "Pheasant Gulley" (an excellent Cabernet Merlot from M & S ) and wait for things to pan out. Sober me up when it all happens!

But surely this is obvious isn`t it? Until the deal is completed, it makes sense that nobody commits themselves publicly. We are all on tenterhooks waiting for things to be firmed up ( no double - entendres please!) before breathing a sigh of relief. I think that all that MLT has said is that he would be prepared to take the Chairmans role if asked. Don`t forget that he, as we understand, he is not part of the bid, he is just giving his support.

:prayer::prayer::prayer:

Not too sure, but have any of the "deals" actually gone through yet? How do we know if the NC deal is any bigger than ours?

So is the feeling - the need for a manager with Ist Division experience - such that If WGS was available and wanted the job, we wouldn`t want him?:confused:

Sorry. I wasn`t having a go. It was a genuine question as I didn`t feel that MLT was saying that he was definitely saying that he was going to be Chairman. Mind you, I can understand you responding to 19C`s postings. He/she knows what buttons to press to get a reaction out of us!

I don`t know if anyone else saw this on the Echo website last night, but it was posted under the same story as Ted Rogers. Make of it what you will:- CMFG Lover, Southampton says... 10:15pm Thu 4 Jun 09 Well I e-mailed Mark Fry today to find out what the Eff is going on because as a STH I think I deserve to know! I didn't expect a reply but got one from the man himself to say, and I quote, "all can say is that the deal certainly has not fallen through and we are proceeding as planned. I hope this helps. Yours, Mark Fry,Partner
