I don't particularly disagree with the above, but what you have failed to discuss is the fact that the kind of replacement we will attract is more likely to be on a par with Pellegrino than Pep G. For that reason, I'm happy to live with his faults.

Probably your best chance of seeing Saints winning some serious silverware.

I'm really sad that I can't remember my first game at The Dell. My Dad started taking me to reserve games at the Dell c.1986 (as he was a ST holder and therefore could get us both in for free) I think he wanted to see if I showed any interest, before taking me to 1st team games. (As a ST holder 35 years later, I clearly did show an interest). They used to open the top tier of the west stand and there were probably a hundred or so fans there for each game (if my memory serves me right, which it may not, as I was only 7 ot 8 at the time). I do recall there was a young lad called Le Tissier that would often get a run out in the resrves around that time. At some point my Dad must have started taking me to the first team games, but I can't for the life of me recall which game was my first, which is a shame. What I do recall (bits of) is my first away game, we were visiting my uncle, auntie and cousins in Oxfordshire, which just happened to coincide with Saints playing Oxford United at the Manor Ground. I remember being on the sparsly populated concrete open terrace, with a small band of travelling saints fans, plenty of room to run around and swing from the crush barriers (plus the big perimeter fences in the pre-Hillsborough days). I just can't remember the score, so I'm unsure exactly which season that was, but it must have been either 86 or 87...

Might hang on for a draw then 😉

Messi and Ronaldo are the worst, why can't they come and play for us for £70k p/w.

I was just about to read his autobiography, but you've gone and spoilt it now.

I've just realised I mis-read part of it. The article on the OS states: "The club will be contacting Season Ticket holders directly via their registered email address during the week commencing Monday 8th February to explain the full options available to them and the next steps to take." Initially I read that as the club will be emailing us W/c 8th Jan, not Feb, and I though that was a refernece to the email I'd just received. So I await that email (and any interim refunds for the Man City, West Ham and Liverpool games).

I've read the email and I'm a little confused, as the instructions aren't clear (unless I'm missing something). Do we as ST holders need to apply for the full refund, (i.e. do we need to contact the ticket office, or log into the on-line ticket portal etc.), or will the lump sum just land in our bank accounts at some point in the coming weeks?

I suggest that the evidence shows Charlie has now satisfied his hunger through multiple trips to the chippy over a prolonged period.

Colin Clarke(s)?

That was the Marine keeper wasn't it.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Take the decision out of the hands of the clubs.

Here's a man that's never been to Eastbourne.

Only just got here. Any online streams please, (to save me trawling through the thread)...

Or you say it to explain why he won't be featuring (and therefore be at risk of scuppering an agreed deal) in any of our games before the window opens. Hope not though.

10am this morning the Mrs gets a text to say her latest Covid test was positive. (She works in healthcare, so has weekly tests). What Crimbo pressie, pretty much sums up 2020. What a cunt of a year. At least she is only fatigued (which she just thought was due to working so many hours recently), rather than suffering from other symptoms.

Calling Scally to the thread.

My 2 STs were paid for using a single card, that didn't stop them refunding me... I think they've just not got a effective system in place for tracking who they have and haven't refunded.

The inconsistency is very strange. I'd received all my refunds (for both the STs I paid for) up to and including Sheff Utd by the 3rd Nov... No idea how they can be so efficient for some and hopeless for others.

Those Sailors cocks aren't going to suck themselves.

Observational Comedy: It's funny cos it's true.

I take it that you're on a wind up, because surely you can't be that thick.

I was successful in the ballot, only to be denied at the last minute as I live too close to the unwashed skates. FFS!

Me too 🙂

Some people never change.
