Why did you not ask what seat you were getting when you booked?

No, anyone of any age can go in the family enclosure even if they don't have kids with them. Just be warned, watching a football match in the Chapel stand with loads of kids would be my idea of a nightmare!

Venables did better than Sven tbh.

I worry for Lawrie's state of mind if he seriously thinks that is a viable proposition.

Now there is an oxymoron! Can you have a rational superstition?

Pompey get 40% of the total gate receipts after costs.

Read the opening sentence.

No, that isn't irony.

It doesn't matter. Saints have to pay Pompey so they can put on any financial report that they will get this money.

This will be controversial. To be honest I'm not even sure I want it but... Sven has left his job at Notts County as the new takeover isn't going to take them to the Premiership like he thought the previous one would. 1) Nicole Cortese wants a director of football/sporting director at some point. 2) Sven wanted a club he can build to the Premiership. His reported £40k wages at Notts County would obviously be a factor. But IF he came here on much lower wages he would raise the profile of Saints and may help attract better players. As long as he leaves the managing to Pardew it could work well "in theory". Worth Nicole Cortese phoning Sven?

Lots of empty seats in corporate for the MK Dons game. Also segregation roped off a large number of seats and there were plenty of empty seats in the actual away section. The home end (not including corporate) was a sell out for MK Dons. It will be different at the Pompey game... Home section SOLD OUT Away section SOLD OUT Corporate SOLD OUT So the only seats to take off the 32k capacity will be those used for segregation.

Coach and cars are unaffected.

It is an early afternoon kickoff on a Sunday under an hour and a half away from Southampton. Little need for most to stay in London overnight.

Likely they would promote 1st and 2nd. Then 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th would play the playoff semi and the two winners promoted. Thus Saints no closer.

You forgot the... FA Cup final in 1900 vs Bury FA Cup final in 1902 vs Sheff Utd (depends who played in away kit) Texaco Cup final in 1975 vs Newcastle Anglo-Italian League Cup final in 1976 vs Napoli All played in red and white stripes

Yes, he is.

What makes you think you would go straight into the conference?

Where have you got that from Dubai_Phil? Did you write it?

Well that is wrong. If Saints lose no matter what happens to Pompey, Saints are out.

It would be on Sunday. If Saints lose then they will be out and the team drawn against Pompey would get a bye to the next round if Pompey go bust.

Well they are lying because it hasn't started yet.

Adjourned until 2pm according to Sky. Judge needs her lunch after a busy couple of hours winding up small businesses.

Centenary was in 1985. Next season is 125 year anivesary. Flybe wouldn't allow for a kit without their sponsorship on it in the 2009/10 season.

All points/goals scored for/against Pompey get expunged from history. Will change the Premiership table a lot but it is the only fair way to do it.
