I must be getting old as I was embarrassed by some of the Saints fands today. For example, next to me there were 3 adults and one child (about 8 yo). The child was "****" this and "Cvnt" that and the adults were doing nothing and even encouraging him. One of the adults kept shoving into me and was virtually standing in my seat at one point. I don't think he was doing it deliberately - he was just thick. I moved in the end (after vowing to myself that I would not!)

Up until 1938 we had blue shorts in our home kit.

Saints are undoubtedly sharper and more direct under Wotte. Having been manager of the Dutch U21 side and DoF (or similar) at Feyenoord he probably has a reasonable idea of how the game should be played. Marchers holding up placards saying he hasn't got a clue frankly make me cringe !

We were in a small pub about 3/4 of way from station to the ground when in walked at least 3 of the "Maze Hill" participants accompanied by several other Saints fans ! I guess they are all on the NCIS football offences register (or whatever its called). When we left the pub it was surrounded by police awiating (I assume) to accompany them to the ground. That may be one explanation for the heavy police presence.

A post dated cheque is not illegal ! It may not be accepted but no criminal offence is committed by writing one

Agree 100%. If this question had been asked 20 years ago people would have thought you were a bit odd having this as a reason for not going. Having said that the last day that Lowe and Wilde (in particular) are involved with Saints in any shape or form will be a day for celebration.

I would like Steve Cotterrill (sp?). Knows this league and no real failures (unlike the others on the list). I stand to be corrected though !

But with 40% tax relief to a higher rate taxpayer very close to money for nothing even if you only put it in a cash fund. What has this got to do with Saints I ask myself !

My ticket arrived today - lucky number 13 !

I expect thoudands of us will make the same "mistake" again. After all that's what supporting a football team is all about

Regarding the OS version of events I was not aware that that a football match was taking place !?

Leon Crouch was sitting about 4 rows in front of me today - and he was joining in the singing !

Just got back as well (I live near Gatwick). To quote the bloke next to me in the Gents aftrewards : "Very occasionally there is a game which reminds you why you keep going"!

Please do not post your balanced, reasonable nonsense on this forum

Speaking as a ST holder I would not be in the slightest bit upset if they reduced it to the approximate ST price per game (around £16) if it meant the difference between Saints making progress or not.

Subject to not being deceased or not having the money or the club not being in existence* then obviously "Yes" * or potentially certain other conditions which I cannot be bothered to list

Remind me what one of the main points of the £5 subscription was !
