I remember feeling exactly the same.

Exactly the phrase I have used over and over again on this subject. It's not like China/Japan/Korea/insert any other Far East country have suffered from a downturn in trade with us/Germany/France/et al through not being an EU member is it. Also I've read in the past (but no idea if it's true or not), that any exports that leave UK heading for Rotterdam container port before being forwarded on to anywhere else in the world counts statistically as an export to the EU.

Played indoor cricket against him once. Not as big as he looked on the pitch (but then I'm 6'2") Asked him " Surprised clubs insurance let's you play this . Do they know?" One word answer with a big grin "NO!"

For one or two people maybe but I'd hazard a guess that the vast majority don't even realise they are making a mistake.

I get frustrated by people who unnecessarily include the phrase "as a Saints fan" in the title of threads when the rules for this forum state that "We ask that supporters of other clubs do not post on this forum" And "would of" instead of "would have"

I was listening on 5 live extra. Once the commentator worked out what the Steeeeve was he said how good it is when a player and fans have that kind of relationship. Couldn't hear other players names though, agree that doing it for all is childish.

Exactly. We only have the clubs word that it was 32152, just as we only have the clubs word that Arsenal was 32150. Any attendance ever quoted may be right may be wrong, the only "official" figure is the one the club "officially announces" (which would be what they announce in a written record, not what a stadium announcer may or may not have misquoted/been misinformed) So NO, it doesn't matter, just like every other game the attendance is what the club says it was. (unless of course anyone can prove different)

I think officially around 29500. Realistically if you add me and my mates who got in through an exit gate pulled off it's rollers (after queuing from 4pm and STILL being locked out), the constant stream getting in by climbing a lampost and clambering OVER the Milton Wall, the 2s and 3s squeezing into one turnstile to speed things up, times it by 4 for the 3 sides I couldn't see, was probably around 35000+, increasing by about 10% as soon as the exit gates opened near the end of the game Health & safety my arse, we all survived

Why are all the references to a SMS record? It's more than the record at The Dell as well so it's actually a CLUB home attendance record

Nope, not me I'm afraid. (although I do recall seeing it fairly recently but can't think where) And no way would I have wasted Ferrero Rocher on them, I'd have scoffed them as quick as you could get the little gold wrappers off. Anyone wishing to purchase bow-ties, dress shirts or dinner suits for December's visit please let me know, I'll do them special rates.

Package holidays ?

Couldn't agree more. Too many people have grown up with an attitude of "I want it so I have to have it". Fair enough, it has been in the interests of capitalism to encourage that attitude, but at the end of the day it is the individual that makes the decision to buy, the shops etc aren't exactly mugging people. Remember, sometime you have to

Who are "the masses" and "ordinary people" ? Why can't they find just one person in each constituency to stand on their behalf and receive enough votes that a government can be formed to represent what they want?

I used to think you were unfairly criticised on here God knows where I got that idea from

Great half time music

Surely ... no, you can't mean ...... [video=youtube_share;7g9WjcGdxuM]http://youtu.be/7g9WjcGdxuM

Is that not a requirement? Same reason they often needlessly publish someone's age. It's so they can be seen to have done as much as possible to prevent any other confusion with any other person of the same name, who could then possibly sue for libel. (In this case though I'm sure Saints footballer would have sufficed)

You forgot the nuns (or would it be sexy female barristers this time)

Foam hands Pah so last year Deely boppers in team colours are the way forward

That's always been my way of thinking Club and International management are two entirely different jobs (no day to day involvement, no transfers, etc) Pick a national manager BEFORE he has already become engrained with a club manager mentality .

Heard it snap. It sounded like to broom handles being whacked together. Not nice

As a courtesy to the paying customers could the players not be persuaded to forego their usual goal celebrations and re-enact all goals in slow motion instead ?

Hmmm, effective word filter. Win(00nton ?

Unfortunately this is a disease that permeates all of society. I blame Murdoch. Only this morning I heard Sky advertising a channel called At the Racists, they said they would be hearing from Newton Abbo, Win*****on and the Market Asian.
