Southern area? Norwich is further north than Birmingham FFS... FACT

“All I can tell you is what I know about the guy,” Storrie said. “They were the people I was talking to before [when he tried to secure a deal for al-Faraj to buy the club in August, only for Gaydamak to sell to al-Fahim]. They appear to have considerable assets and they’re immediately putting finance into the club. “From everything I know about the guy, he seems very fit and proper" Hmmm...I wonder why Storrie doesn't use definitive wording....?

No Gillett on the poll? As one of his sponsors I wanted to vote for him even though I wasn't there. What's the point of a poll if it can't be rigged....?

At least this sorry episode and my part in it will help sell my autobiography in years to come. Working title: Caught With His Trousers Down

I'm off to the local police station to hand myself in

Superb

Thread titles you never thought you'd see, Volume 1: "Saints vs Torquay - JPT Matchday thread"

Threads that people may regret raising...part 2.... ;-)

Suggest we cross that bridge when the time comes. Can be filed away in "nice problem to have" tray IMHO

Intentionally or otherwise, don't Southend gain a small(ish) advantage over the course of a season by playing a significant portion of their home games on a Friday night? (a) their players are more used to playing at that time of the week and (b) away teams are likely to have less supporters than on a saturday due to work committments and other logistical issues perhaps? It would be almost interesting to see how southend's Friday night win ratio compares to their Saturday home game win ratio

Rudi Skacel (well, he will be as soon as news comes through that he's signed at long last)

"Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency said 83,712 houses, 200 public buildings and 285 schools were destroyed. Another 100,000 buildings and 20 miles of road were badly damaged. Five bridges collapsed. A full death toll has not yet been calculated. The government at one point said 715 were dead and 3,000 were missing. But Sunday it changed its tally to 603 killed, with another 960 missing and believed dead."

Posting logic on here don't get you very far FF ;-)

It's only football....

"Club Captain Kelvin Davis believes that the players being able to be able to run out of the tunnel and see the red and white army outnumbering away fans behind the goal will act as a huge psychological boost." Erm, but Kelvin, you don't run out to that end either for the pre-match warm up or before the start of the game....

Fair point, well made...

In any role at the club, Keegan would add another 4 figures to the match day gate and bring a new level of buzz to the club. People can quote facts and figures to back up the 'no and 'yes' camps until the cows come home, but at a humanistic level, Keegan, in any role, would bring nothing but a good feel vibe to the club.

Get him in.

But what's the significance of the word 'Alpine' in Oldknow's user name? (sorry, Alpine, couldn't resist....)

Someone's leaked a photo from the operating theatre...

Is this a big radar or a small one? Some radars can pick up objects that are not very close at all....

Someone mentioned many moons ago on here that it was do do with the location of the changing rooms and that Saints 'naturally' came out of the tunnel on the left (as you come out onto the pitch). I mentioned at the time that it wouldn't be beyond the wit of man for the teams to cross over in the corridor before they get to the tunnel. Also, it's not just about kicking towards the 'home end' in the second half that is important I think the players would also benefit psychologically from running out towards the Northam for both the pre-match warm up and just before kick-off.
