The merest chance of that is if the heavy rain coincides with high spring tides inundating drains reducing the rate of flow into the sea - Tomorrow the rain looks to be easing from 1pm and high tide is just after 3pm. The only time that a game has been called off due to rain was a night game v Palace Donkeys years ago, for the very reasons above. Also the under pitch drainage pump wasn't connected because the drainage infrastructure out side the ground couldn't cope with the potential volume of water. In a book I have about the building of St Marys from when it was new there was mention that the pump could handle as much as 8" of rain an hour (something you are only likely to see in the tropics). Hood down......anorak off! 🤪

Now it’s going to take £1000 in used notes each for me and @Saint Fan CaM to get us to delete our posts allowing you @Stripey McStripe Shirt to slip back into the shadows having erased all record of this, for the moment, minorfaux-pas 😂 😁😜🤪😇

Stripey is on the hook! 🤪

Going by something I read on the weekend seems that’s over the last season (and the Euros) JWP’esk free kick goals from outside the box are no longer in fashion.

All looked a bit clumsy on both players part and a bit soft.

But then we would have been passing to his shins!

Shit - I read that with a Welsh accent in my head 😳

He was at the centre of Windmills and Handbags away at Stoke last season

Oh! Is it his Birthday?! .......................now where did I put my coat? 🤪

Oops! I think when it was posted in the match thread, I posted it on my Bookface as it was very funny (and stupid by the guy) I also thought the lad in the blue coat was amusing - like I said at the time his mum said “you are not going out to football without your coat!!” Somehow it has embedded itself in my photos - whilst casting of to the cloud something nicer - I scrolled years back and found it to fit this bill.

What - like the one this chap is sporting? I like the chap to his right who’s mum told him to wrap up warm for the match

That measurement was taken at the end of the day after a good evening meal 😁

Oooo that water is a bit exotic! 🤪

They’d still make a dogs dinner of this offside Ai VAR technology, which has been superb at this tournament so far.

Ha-ha the PGMOL crew chalk off a good goal after 3 minutes with their thumbs up their backsides. VAR has been so good up to now

I can’t get Glen at league one minus 10’s referencing Rooney as ‘ol Potato Head out of my head.

Guehi about the only player able to eat his dinner tonight knowing that he’s earned it - being short changed by that powder puff Rice pass and retrieving the situation, anyone else would have made a half arsed dogs dinner of that: even if they had the gumption.

If I recall correctly he didn't even know he was going, he thought he would be playing that night, apparently his Dad, at the game, didn't even know until everyone else in the stadium did.

Blimey @Wurzel are you watching this thread on catch up!? 😁

Greedy one trick pony, who after a Headline grabbing start for us got found out and he didn’t have a solution. Hope we move on past this shop window.

Pretty certain that when it was being built, it was said the stadium design allowed Chapel, Kingsland, and Northam to have 5000 extra seats bolted on to them. I also seem to recall more recently that adding 5000 seats to SMS would cost more than the £32m it cost to build the whole stadium.

Slighty off topic - A few years ago I seem to recall that if you got promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt following relegation, that the remainder of the parachute payment for your second season "stayed behind" in the EFL for distribution. Just wondered if I imagined this or it still happened?

Wealdstone FC just off the A40 at Northolt, 10 minute walk to Ruislip Tube station - 20 minute ride to Wembley. Saints are on their list of teams to invite for Wembley parking. Man City were in there on Saturday with 1400 folks, like us eating BBQ, drinking fair priced beer. So they certainly had a busy weekend boosting club funds. Coventry were there for the semis.

A mere £7.50. Just so easy.

I have to say being sat somewhere near the Stratosphere giving a great view of the pitch. I will say I was pretty calm throughout the game, having watched Saints for over 40 years with my own eyes, rather than on TV, it was very notable how well we controlled Leeds keeping them at arms length for the majority of the game. great day out
