I wish him luck if I'm honest and am disappointed that they probably won't now be joining the Campionship South Coast mini-league with us. agree with the poster who said that it makes our charge a little more difficulat as they would ahve taken points from the chasing pack albeit not every week but enough to widen the gap in our favour. And, good luck Bournemouth, I prefer you to Pompey....just.

Once on the canal there's not much more in the way of expenses and I promise you Baj, the kids will be absolutely whacked out, leaving you and any other grown-ups to down beer, take stock of life and be contant with your lot. I cannot put it into words. Tell 'em mrs b.

andy, would that be a change to your previous vote? cheers for that comment trousers, I got used to the brickbats around election time but took it on the chin. I like to get my opinion across and felt that not voting could be mis construed as not caring. I don't think that I have ever cared more than I do right now tbh. I am even considering leaving the union for the fisrt time since i first started wok such is my astonishment at their lack of resolve. How do we go about getting a poll Mods?
-
Cheers trousers, at work today more people said that they'd change than did not, strangely a majority said that they didn't bother as 'they're all the same' but now wish they had 'lent' a vote to LibDem as they feel that the Conservatives are taking them for mugs and due to lack of governmental experiance are just glad of their place at the top table. fwiw, I personally would still spoil my paper. Don't shoot..
-
Who would people vote for knowing what we know now? Labour Conservative LibDem Other Abstain or Are you happy with what who we have? Me? No change. I ask this in response to the clear change in voting patterns in the Oldham & Saddleworth by-election.

Baj, if you can rope in someone in a simlar situation who is healthy ad fit then the boys will thank you eternally if you take them on a narrowboat. We took 4 g/k's for a week last year age range 6-11, it was ace.

Andrew I wish I could PM you re this but it's proababy as well I say this publicly. I apologise for any offence taken by you. It was written 100% NOT as you have taken it. Please re-read my post (and subsequent ones). btw, you quoted it as from harvey, you need to edit that as he may not realise who you are and why you might be quite so upset, I do and I do.

As if I would do that my friend. Of course i would challenge something that I have a different viewpoint on but I make a conscience effort not to take offence. Nice of you to say that though all the same. xx's Nick 1 - There wonlt be two rows of wheelchairs, the current Row B will be for support workers/enablers, family and friends, thus enabling more people to attend just like you and I might curently. Quite often groups of mates who I take, disabled and otherwise, have to sit away from each other as the available spaces are taken. Nick you are correct re. the safety aspect though for some people being behind the goals at low level. I know of a few people who i support who specifically ask to sit away from the goals for that very reason. I do though, know more who prefer to be able to see the whites of the attacking players eyes, but currently that is the only way of increasing the capacity for wc users on a semi permanent basis. I maybe should have clarified about the moving back of ambulent STH's in the Northam, I think that it is going to happen around the whole perimeter or at the very least that is the contingency. I'm going on a bit now so shall stfu.

Long reply: Didnt read it that way, sounded more like the idea that a wheelchair user might want to be in the thick of this new choir was secondary. I for one wholeheartedly support the idea of the Chapel (one day) being the 'home end', one reason is the increased total capacity. Bearing in mind that increased capacity why would the club feel that the current wheelchair areas (DU's) should move as their would in fact be more and ample room. I accept that I have a vested interest in this subject and make no apology for that. As I have mentioned elsewhere on the thread the club have acknowledged NEED to increase the capacity for wheelchairs, I hasten to add that this has not come about through pressure to comply with any rules I understand that it viewd as a commercially important aspect of running the club as a business. Anyway, I would be most upset if the only solution considered was to move 'them' to the sides. The club are absolutely excellent with their approach to people with disabilies, I would go as far as to say they are the best that I have ever come across in the footballing World. Anyone with experience of better please let me know, seriously I need to know what people's experiences have been, good and bad. I have in recent years worked with the club in this specific area on behalf of others, when they relinquished the post of 'Disabilty Co-Ordinator' I was a little worried tbh bit I needn't have, I won't embarrass him by naming him but there is one person in particular at the club who I cannot praise highly enough for the help and support that he has given to me and more importantly the people I work with/for. If I am being brutally honest I would ask that if and when the club either develop or move that they INCREASE the higher level wheelchair spaces available. It is by far the most polpular request that I get when booking tickets, for view, facilities and atmosphere. they need more lifts too.

Pleas explain it to me, It's been a long day? I just know I'm gonna regert asking that.

wait to hear the Northam sing this on saturday: Actualy with a little inventiveness someone might be able to make a decent song from it ad infinitum. The wheels on the bus go round and round round and round round and round ditto all day long Guly's scoring goals for fun goals for fun goals for fun ......... ....... all day long Chaplow's gonna bit yer legs bite yer legs bite yer legs ..... ........ all day long Over to yous

People in wheelchairs don't sing harvey? Let's not forget also that they take up more room than a normal fan so the club should charge them double and add an elevator tax just to see if they are swinging the lead, film them when they celebarte a goal and send the cctv to the benefits people thus saving the taxpayer from subsidinsing them any more, it's a win win situation and I can't see a flaw in your suggestion. fwiw, the club will already be making changes to the northam season ticket allocation, they are moving all front row, Row B (Row A are the marked out yellow areas) people to Row C, thus enabling more spaces free for wheelchair st holders. I think there's been a couple of occasions already this season when they've ran out of spaces for wheelchair supporters but still had empty seats higher up. Maybe it's the wheelchair users who are leading the way by maintaining a much higher percentage attendance than the ambulant ones.

I bet after yesterdays wonder goal he was locked in the ground until he signed the deal. He will be wetting himself at the prospect of playing against Man U now. Imagine the exposure if he can do that again...KERCHING!

Saints vs Manchester Utd - 4th Round FA Cup Draw
hamster replied to saint_bert's topic in The Saints
We will win this one, we will sing 'premier league, yer avin a larf' and Fergie will moan about it. delldays (and the others) do you still not care? not checked the dates but it had better not clash with anything else in my diary. this is the third day in a row that saints have got me; lallana signing, stuffing blackpool and now this. What next I wonder??? Will it be Guly Will it be Oxo We'll have to wait and see ................ -
It was one of the main features on th FA website on the run up to yesterdays matches, clearly in response to IH's dismissive comments. The fact that they played and beat saints on the way was not missed either. Careful who you upset on the way up Ian, you may meet them on the way back down. Fergie better watch his mouth now too, can i be the first to predict a saints win.
-
we should try to win everything, from the toss of the coin to the last kick of the ball. any other mentality is that of losers, quitters never win, winners never quit fail to plan and you plan to fail

That may be so deppo but lets not give those psychologists too much credit here. In this case the theories are based on The Sermon on The Mount, you know the one; judge ye not lest ye be judged yerself. http://www.ebibleteacher.com/children/lessons/judge.htm deppo you never cease to surprise me, I mean that in a nice way.
