There are no doubt connections but might be worth highlighting one of the major differences.... Norwich have a higher 'core' fan base than SFC (aka less 'plastic' fans) and yet they're as woeful on the field as we are. Which perhaps brings into question the argument over the season that the dwindling attendance levels have had an effect on team performance. Having a strong 20-25k core fan base didn't do Norwich much good....

Not forgetting the 64 pages of 'new' public sector job adverts every week....

So I assume we can take a cut of the revenue by providing links and directing people at their sites? We should be able to make a fair amount of commission out of this....

What was the context? Did he say "household name" as in: household name to people who mix in Saints circles or "household name" as in my nan would recognise them? Say "Le Tissier" or "Lowe" to my nan and she wouldn't have a Scooby (pun intended) as to who I was wittering on about. Say "Bruce Forsythe" and she'd be on message like a shot. Also, was it the name of the company that was "household" or the name of the individual who ran/owned the company? (reading between the lines if necessary) Cheers!

I assume this applies in reverse? i.e. The press will no longer be lifting/quoting from here? And are we allowed to use scanners instead?

Wacky theory alert....(apologies if this has already been suggested by someone as equally bereft of reality as oneself... ) Let's say that the Football League, having 'forensically examined' our accounts, concluded that they (the Football League) didn't have a leg to stand on legally.... However, they decided that they would dock the points anyway so that, in the event of a successful appeal by SFC, they could turn around to the other miffed clubs and say: "well, at least we tried". If they had simply decided not to dock us any points they would have come under all sorts of fire from various quarters. So, it's a "win win" for them to go for the penalty option regardless of the outcome.... Perhaps?

Cor blimey Mr Phil. I didn't do much! Roswell came up with the idea and I just did a wee bit of cottage industry promotion. I'm sure there are more deserving fans out there than yours truely. Appreciate your sentiments though. Good luck to saints tomorrow. Next season starts now!

Great gesture Nick. Cheers

Hey, leave me out of this!

A quick reminder of the process for booking these 'donation tickets' online tonight or on the phone tomorrow from 9am, courtesy of the OS and Ticket Office.... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11703 Fans who are unable to make it to the Burnley match but who wish to donate their ticket to a local youngster can now do so thanks to a new scheme... The Ticket Office have responded quickly to several fans suggestions and the donation scheme has already proved popular. All tickets that are purchased in this way will be donated to young people who take part in some of the worthwhile projects delivered by Saints in the Community and will be helping to provide vital revenue for the Club for the last home game of the season. People wanting to donate their tickets can do so at the ticket office from 9am on Saturday morning. Or, as an alternative, supporters can this evening (or at any time) by calling the booking line (0800 2800 050) and using the following special customer number: 1153540 The booking line is open until 7pm on Friday night as normal.

Nice one mate

Cheers, thanks. Just wanted to double check that any remaining stumbling blocks were in the bidder's court rather than in the administrator's court.

Nice pumps IMHO
