It was a always a race from The Dell through the crowds to get to the tv rental shop (or may have been Electricity Board) before they came up. Vague memories of it being opposite Plummers, same side as Tyrrel & Greens near where cafe Parfait is now

He was generalising. He should have been more specific http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_brown No-one can take offence at Raw Umber .... can they?

Possibly one of the most suspense filled videos of all time (directed and produced by a mate of mine) [video=youtube_share;9UEphA8OBJ0]

Keepers first kick was self defence. The 2 or 3 while the fan was on the ground could have been considered unnecessary. But common sense would have been for ref "not to have seen the incident" and let any disciplinary take place after the game . Think if I was boss I'd have took team off too. Incidentally, keeper and ref in same kit - could be confusing in a crowded penalty area. Or maybe fan attacked the wrong man

They can read ?

Said it a million times but it's worth saying again. They get a bit of noise going all round the ground BECAUSE they sing songs slow enough and for long enough that the whole ground is able to join in with them. Shalala, PUP, Poor little scummer etc, 4-1 etc etc , ALL at the right speed and don't fizzle out after one verse. We will never have SMS rocking all round the ground whilst everything is sung like a race to get to the finish. Compare the old Marian Pahars song (sung correct speed all round the ground) to the RickyLambertswupngochene one .

Watching on tv both Fox and Adkins looked genuinely confused as he was taking his seat on the bench. I actually thought from their expressions the wrong number had gone up and as he'd left the pitch it was too late to change it. Guly even went missing for that photo !

Media aren't interested in man in the street fans. For a while dozens of media outlets had my number through now defunct TSA One by one whenever they have rung me I have said I'm happy to give a personal view but I no longer represent any group. They apologise for bothering me and take me off their list. (Meridian still left an (ignored) voicemail this week but then they haven't contacted for years, strange that they are only interested when there's a Pompey angle t the story) So those being quoted as SISA and Trust spokesmen either genuinely believe that they are representing the fans or are being , what was the phrase used in parliament? - economical with the truth. Answer is anyone can set up a fans group, doesn't matter how big or small, and give their number out to the media. They'll contact you alright , believe me they would prefer to have as many names as possible they can seek for quotes but they'll only contact the people who have given them their details, and they can quote as some sort of spokesman

Always look on the bright side of life de doo de doo de doo de doo Your boss don't look too well Your owners off to jail When the league meets then 10 points they will deduct And when the taxman has his say It will be time for you to pay And then you'll know that you are really ****ed Sooooooooooooooo Always look on the bright side of life de doo de doo de doo de doo Always look on the bright side of life de doo de doo de doo de doo You're women aint too pretty And neither is your city Both of them have got a fishy pong Your team is ****ing ****e And the boys in red and white Are back above you, back where we belong Sooooooooooooo Always look on the bright side of life de doo de doo de doo de doo Always look on the bright side of life de doo de doo de doo de doo

Apparently that's exactly what he was doing last week, hence his poor handling. He'll play a blinder next time, doesn't matter what job you do, when you know you can't possibly do as bad as the last time the pressure's off.

In the spirit of the pantomime season - Oh no it doesn't

No we don't. What guarantee did we have that more than 15126 (Or whatever The Dell capacity was) would turn up when we moved to SMS. ? It was pretty well full every game but I don't recall any substantial ST waiting list . It stands to reason the more readily available seats are then fewer people will not be put off trying to buy them. How many are already being put off trying to get Palace tickets because fans are saying only single seats are available and they want to be able to sit with friends/family. It's unlikely to sell out but I bet there's plenty that could go that won't, who might well have done if more seats were available.

I said in your example - in that you stated selling out 5 times a seasons, so in your example the evidence IS there. To be fair I agree with you, it's crazy to talk about extending the stadium NOW. But if even half of the first ten games in the PL come anywhere near reaching capacity I would hope plans would be put in place to be ripping off a roof or two as soon as the final whistle goes in the last game of the season.

You are making the assumption the club would need to borrow the money. Maybe they have it readily available. If so your example gives them a yield of 8.33%p.a.. A pretty sensible investment at todays rates.

Are you Gary Glitter ?

Me too, although considerably younger than Bill, I was a kid playing in an adults team at the time. Remember being in awe of the fact that I actually knew a Saints player and he would actually speak to me !

How about electrified backboards at the back of the Northam so no-on can bang them ?

Christ, things are THAT bad ?

[video=youtube_share;A949JshqvbI] Looks like this would be more like the West Ham parent company in admin scenario than our own. BUT how many more chances can the authorities (football and corporate) be prepared to give them?

Only the biggest car boot sale in the UK (according to their website) Every Sunday And that'll be the last one before Xmas so probably the busiest of the year Wonder if anyone has told them ?

For those getting the bubble bus at Bursledon, does it say where? Just curious, seeing as the away fans Park and ride compound is the site of a huge car boot sale every Sunday

We could have stuck it in goal on Saturday and we'd still have won 3-0

How often do BBC try and and "balance out" their highlights yet the only occasion you see Brighton going forward in the entire clip is the throw in they take right at the start (which goes straight to our player).

Watching online it sounds like the attempt where my feed froze with the ball about 4 yards from the goal line. Sod you lot and your split seconds it took me 3 or 4 minutes to tealise we hadn't scored
