  1. or they were delayed by the hookers on the door... or they thought the burger van outside was actually Silverspoons.
  2. Ah, that's alright then. Funny really, I bought some tickets to see Jedward at the O2 Arena. When they didnt turn up I cried and cried and complained to the promoters. I got this email back from them..... "Dear Marsdinho, They were booked, but that's all we can say at the moment." I felt satisfied that they have indeed looked into my issue and furnished me with a suitable response. I went home a happy customer.
  3. How can Nick refer to comments on this board (probably this thread) then come out with this... "We have had no complaints about the DJ who played a good selection including Saints songs " PMSL Also, why no mention of the "Ex-players" no show.... I wonder.
  4. Very sad news. It was always a nice sight when the cameras panned around to see him sat their in the stands with Eric, watching the latest England players... He's probably sat their now with Eric, watching the IPL or something !!!
  5. I dont agree, isnt is a question of who was reacting to who. If Petrov moved 1st and then Hamilton moved to block, then he should have a drive through.... If Hamilton moves 1st and Petrov moves to stay in his slip stream, then he shouldnt. I saw it as the latter happening.
  6. I work with a bloke that has been on all but 7 roller coasters in the UK. He plans to finish the rest this year. He's the number 1 rollercoaster rider in the UK, and number 25 in the world. FACT
  7. Rajastan Royals
  8. "April foo.....oh"

  11. Looks like a Lotus Elise with a chav body kit IMHO
  12. Was just about to post the same thing.

  15. Nice, Cheers
  16. Wim Mertens - The Belly Of An Architect
  17. Eagle Vs Shark: Stars Jermaine Clement of Flight Of the Conchords fame, funny film if you are into the kind of humour that its based around. I am, so I liked it. 8/10 - The fight scene at the end is FAF. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494222/
  18. - I was at the SISA meeting at Northlands Road back in the Branfoot era - I took part in the sit down protests in the car park after games at the Dell, and the "temporary" sit in protest after the sky Newcastle game - I (with friends) was responsible for the "Lowe Out" banner in the Northam at the Ipswich game - I helpded hand out "Lowe Out" cards at SMS. You?
  19. Thats like saying that the Saints Trust were behind the protests against Lowe. Fact is, they werent, they just assumed they were. Just like SISA did all those years ago.
  20. Mate - I didnt even go to Silverspoons, basically for all the reasons mentioned on here, I knew it would be cr*p (look at my other posts) and stayed well clear. The reason im acting as devils advocate is that im hacked off with the Saints Trust (or whatever guise they want to go by) and their attitude towards other fans. they think they know it all, yet f*ck up left, right and centre. Their silence during the lowe era was shocking, the ted bates statue, the Saints Aid "event" and now this....they are all gong and no dinner. BTW - I had a f*cking excellent day thanks very much, saw my team win something at Wembley and had the added joy of watching a football match with my dad for the first time in over 20 years !!!!
  21. enough of the bend over, pull down tousers and take one mentality...
  22. Its this kind of attitude that will allow NI and the others to do this to fellow fans time and time again....
  23. Whilst everyone seemed to enjoy themselves in Silverspoons on Sunday there was one issue. Sunday was a great day in the history of Southampton Football Club, it was a celebration of the fact that the club is still in existence almost a year after the trauma of administration, in this respect the result was secondary. Er, no it wasn't....I would wager that almost all Saints fans were there on Sunday to see our team win the JPT. I certainly didn’t see or speak to anyone who was there to celebrate our existence. We at COYR were determined to try and do our bit in making the day a little bit special for supporters, on this occasion by acting as ticket agents for Silverspoons Club 2000 at Wembley So why does it say here (http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/johnstones_paint_trophy_2010/5071135.Saints_fans_plan_to_party_at_Wembley/) that the event was organised by Saints Trust Chairman Nick Illingsworth, and I quote "Organiser Nick Illingsworth came up with the idea after joining friends at Silver Spoons for the Everton vs Chelsea FA Cup final last year." The vast majority of the fans present seemed brimming with the "spirit" of the day and like ourselves concentrated on enjoying the occasion Little bit of a dig there at the people that have raised concerns but, inevitably as at any event some are bound to have experienced less than their expectation, in this case Silverspoons itself was taken by surprise by the sheer exuberance of Saints supporters, Here's where they start to offload the blame, "its not our fault, we just have too many brilliant fans" they have had so called bigger clubs than Saints in recent years, but none had displayed the capacity to drink & be merry that Saints supporters showed on Sunday. More guff to bloke smoke up our ars3s Contingency plans were quickly put into place by the owners including opening up a further bar to sell cans and this alleviated the problem of queues to a certain degree although not completely. We are normal fans, not event promoters(now they tell us)out to make a quick buck, we genuinely tried our very best to lay on something special to add to the enjoyment of the day, we like Silverspoons, were taken aback as was the entire nation at Saints supporters capacity to throw a party, not just at Silverspoons but all around Wembley itself. It could be said that the event was a victim of its own popularity. Again, more smoke up our ars3s, and apparently, the conditions were the same everywhere….!!! With this in mind whilst most of the comments we have received have been positive(Really !!), we take our new venture very seriously and whilst almost everyone seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and proximity to Wembley, a small blot on the landscape was the queue for a drink, the very problem that we sought to eradicate, even we couldn’t have foreseen the capacity of the Saints fans for this on Sunday. What !!, How about addressing the lack of “ex saints”, the condition of the place, the drunk DJ, the false advertising etc etc Over the last day or so we have listened and read carefully those views and we are now looking at ways in which we can thank you all for your patience and not letting it spoil your day, if you can give us a few days to think of a way to do this we would be grateful. Here’s a suggestion, why not offer refunds. In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact us by e mail at info@coyr.co.uk COYR are Saints fans too, we look forward to your comments.
