If you can name me one club in the EPL that sells out every single game in a season I'd be very impressed... A bigger stadium might mean that some fans who thought they couldn't get tickets for whatever reason or attracted to go to games, it might mean cheaper prices, who knows? You said that they struggled to fill out Loftus Road, my point is that for the majority of the season your statement was incorrect.

Actually they don't - I live in Shepherds Bush and attempted to get to a few games last season, all of which were sold out bar games against Wigan and Stoke etc. Even then it was nearly full. Apparently they are close to selling out their season tickets this season too without them even making General Sale.

Surely we'll beat Bolton to this signing if accepted?

On TUI a poster has spotted Coventry's young defender Conor Thomas at our training camp. Next one in?

Cracking signing for us. Absolute bargain on a free and should go straight into the team to give us a bit of experience. Can see him and Morgan starting the first game. Could this also mean we see a bit more of Cork on the right, played well there against Coventry. One question though, if we could have had Guthrie would people have rather had him? For me no, but interested to hear what others think.

Finally got through and sorted it on the 01271 number. Keep trying folks.

I can't believe how badly today is being managed.

I just got through on the phone and they told me their server had crashed so they couldn't process anything. Saints you are outrageously ****.

So has anyone managed to get through in any form yet?

The fact the phone system does not and basically has never had the option to place people in a queue is utterly ridiculous.

It just cuts me off straight away. SFC ticketing absolute crap as usual.

Absolutely useless. The phoneline doesn't work either.

On the phone it just goes dead too - anyone got the alternative number?

As predicted everything has crashed

Assume the lettering and numbers will be white?

Two things about this latest development: a) There is no way we'd offer 6m for Butland b) If we did there is absolutely no way that Brum would turn it down.

Great player, 1m would be an utter steal. Been to see QPR a few times and has been the stand out player every time.

Exactly. Instead, we ended up with Davenport and Bernard (two of the worst players I have ever seen in Saints' shirts), his son who, whilst a good player in his day, wasn't fit enough at all for a relegation battle. He should have kept us up. For all the pundits saying "oh Harry's picked out another gem here" they seem to overlook the 15 or so duds it took for him to get that far. Even at Pompey where he is lauded for picking out so many good players, he also signed some absolute dross. Vastly overrated, no man management skills at all, can't improve a struggling team without replacing it. If I were a chairman I wouldn't touch him.

He was utter garbage when he came on against Cov in the last game: slow, disinterested and then celebrated like a lunatic when we went up...newsflash Jason - you played little to no part in our success. Can't bring myself to like the bloke after everything that's supposedly gone on. If the price is right get rid. Wasn't good enough to hold down a place in the Champ once back even though we didn't have a stand out right mid, won't be good enough for the Prem. Let's cut our losses.

Dune in wind up shocker...

If the source is so 'decent' why not say who told you rather than post utter tripe and expect anyone to believe it?

Just finished my first season with Norwich and came 8th. My current team is pretty much Norwich's first 11 with the addition of J-Rod. Playing the formation everyone seems to on here and Grant Holt is an absolute beast. Badly need to strengthen the defence though. Only signing so far is Kyle Naughton on a permanent deal. Looking at Nathan Redmond as well from Brum. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Got to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while. 1) Why would he go to Norwich? 2) How on earth would Norwich have enough cash to offer him 70k a week? 3) If they were going to offer a player 70k a week then they'd go for someone that was more proven than Lambert. If this comes from one of your decent sources, I'd love to know what the unreliable ones come out with. Messi to Saints anyone?

Well said.

Obviously everyone on SWF is in a better position to know about the state of the club than someone who has seen first hand what goes on behind the scenes and spoken to those who have great ambition for the club. He doesn't actually say it will definitely happen just that it is what we are striving for. If the article has said Holmes tips Saints for midtable obscurity then the usual suspects would be on here spitting blood. But as usual certain posters on here feel the need to mock everything and try and make it into something negative because obviously they know better. I for one find it encouraging he has said these things, whether I think it will happen in reality is another matter but got to aim high.
