True, although I'll try and forget about that as I hate Ashley Cole.

I can’t believe I’m contributing to a discussion on the matter!!!

A couple of season's ago there was a charity campaign to get prem footballers to donate a weeks wage to nurses. didnt get a great response from Chelsea, despite some of them being on 120k a week !!!! http://www.theoffside.com/world-football/premiership-good-guys-donating-wages-to-nurses.html Like the above post said, modern day footballers.

Ive never understood why people have to copy and past in the first place. Surley a link is easy enough to follow, or are people that lazy they cant be bothered to follow a link and have to have the info dished up on a plate. It makes the thread on here longer as well.

Im with Leon on this one. Tomorrow I will be there cheering the team on to a fantastic win, hoping that another win follows against Forrest The 2 wins meant that we avoided relegation, THEN we win the legal battle with the football league, thus playing football in the championship next season.

a small thing, but those of you that have facebook accounts, change your staus or whatever it is to "Buy tickets for Saints V Burnley on Saturday" You'll be surprised how many people will see that.

Dont even have to wallk from woolston. There is a free bus that takes people from one side of the bridge to the other. If you time it right and get the last one before the game, he drops you off right outside SMS.

Maybe the reason why we didnt advertise how much sh1t we are in is because the admins thought it would effect the -10 points ruling. Now thats out the way, lets just be honest with everyone and get ths 250k figure out in the public domain.

Cant you use the £m in pledges to help towards the £250k needed. Isnt that what it was for.

Where did this info come from?, were members of the admin team there?

So if it not breaking the rules, someone (LM, LC???) should ask them. I have no idea who these bidders are, but even if they arent saints fans they still want something there to bid for.

Is there any way that either of the two bidders that are in due diligence at the moment can "donate" SFC £250k, if the situation is that perilous; otherwise they will have nothing to bid for !!!

They can break your arms.

The only good to come from this is that its a step closer to hitting "the all time low" At least we all know where we stand now. F**ked.

I was starting to feel sorry for NI, then I read this.... "Having read some of the critiscisms from the past few days on the darkside, I will say that most of those posting by their comments have no idea about the trust and have never sort to find out, prefering to snipe away on internet forums, to be blunt this is the single contributory factor as why the Saints trust does not have the membership base it should have and why Rupert Lowe and other ex directors of this club have ridden rough shed over the club for the past decade or so, anyone who read the season ticket renewal form in March 2008 will know the logistics 25,000 Saints fans join the trust last March at £10 per head,= £250,000 Trust buys 1 million shares @25p per share = fans own approx 4% of the Club, this wouldhave swung the balance of power against Lowe should the fans have wished it. If this had happened three years ago when the trust formed, then the club would not be in the position that it is now. Do we want to repeat these mistakes, are we going to learn from them or are we going to sit around and squabble on internet message boards " I can give you loads of reasons why the trust doesnt have the fanbase you had hoped for, none of them would be that "we dont understand" or know little about the trust. If more people saw the trust for what it was, it wouldnt even have 400 members.

Surely, the only person that has up-to-date and accurate info would be Mark Fry. So now this is sounding a mixture of some people panicing because they have been told about any bids / not kept ITK, and some people seeing the situation as an ideal opportunity to get their feeet under the table. Now I dont want to slag Derry off (you have come across very well in this post) but if I was a prospective bidder, I wouldnt be handing out information about what I was doing to any old tom **** or harry. The fact that Derry, NI, Perry, SISA (the list goes on) havent heard anything doesnt worry me. Its when Mary Fry come out and says that all interest is over, thats when I will start to panic.

I must admit Im venturing onto ground I dont know much about (not the first time !!) But, if we are at the stage of bidders having to prove funds, wouldnt it be easier to prove funds for a League 1 team, than a Championship team. Or do you only have to prove that you can pay off our debt?

Is the reason that there are no formal bids becuase the bidders dont know a) what division we will be in next season b) if we will have a 10 point deduction. Surely, the outcome of a) and b) will dictate what bids come our way and what amount they are.

Firstly, I think we all agree that NONE of us want to see Saints go down the pan. NONE OF US. So, when people reply with "so you would rather see saints cease to exist that unite the groups" the answer is a very firm NO. But that wasnt the question we were originally asked. if we had been asked "Would you rather see saints owned by a fans group or out of business all together" then the vast majority would want the former. But we werent, we were asked to give opinion on a specific situation. which we have given. So to come back with the argument that "you cant be a real saints fan if you want them to go under" is not really fully understanding the issues involed in this post. Another question I have: The last I heard was that there were 30+ potential investors. I have not seen any further update to suggest this amount has changed. So why are The Saints Trust, SISA etc of the opinion that we may end up with NO BIDS for the club. Have they been given information the rest of us dont know about.

Cheers for that, dont know why i didnt google it in the first place.

this made me lol on many fronts.... - The cheekyness of the opening sentence. - The reference to my breast feeding dig a couple of days ago. - The fact that Ive just remembered your sister had a gum shield for a while.

A couple of months ago, Mrs Mars woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me to stop grinding my teeth. Now, I wasnt aware that i did this during my sleep, but as soon as she said it I knew that this was the explanation of years of jaw / head aches. The last couple of mornings I have woken up feeling that i have slept with my head in a vice all night and its starting to really p1ss me off. Does anyone else have this problem?, did they do anything to sort it out?, can the doctors / dentist do anything Cheers

You and I both know that its not as clear cut as that....
