We should aim to beat this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjXXYVLA9Pk

As I said in the opening post, it is on page 12 of the document, where it says... Big Screen Advertising New LED screens for 2012/13 season.

It is on the OS under the commercial tab > sponsorship It isn't for season ticket holders, it is to attract corporate sponsorship and ticket sales in the Premier League.

It was not officially announced before, so the 15k was only people guessing and they weren't far out.

Round two of Adkins vs Mancini

I didn't say it was the best did I? It is above average though in the Premier League and has a number of features better than some of the really big clubs. At a £15 million cost, you would expect that, thats £15 million without the cost of the land or the existing training dome structure.

You said... In any case, the screens are now 11 years old, the changing rooms were 10 years old when they were done, the corporate facilities needed a face lift for Premier League corporate of 2012 compared to the last time we were in the league, Staplewood had fallen behind a number of clubs etc etc. Cortese is doing what needs to be done for us to compete against Premier League rivals.

The Staplewood development goes over and beyond merely "the standard for the Premier League".

Hence the relegation...

I'm amazed Turkish has overlooked the final line of the opening post.

Well that is true today, currently trending in the UK on Twitter and earlier today was trending worldwide.

Not exactly earth shattering news, the old one were starting to show their age and technology has moved on since they were installed in 2001. See page 12 of the document below... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/staticFiles/88/b4/0,,10280~177288,00.pdf A few interesting lines in that document, such as - official confirmation of there being over 180,000 individuals on the Saints database (page 6).

Saints are always paired with Pompey in the fixtures. It doesn't matter that they aren't in the same league as us, they want to make sure we don't both play at home on the same day.

A Saints youth team player has just Tweeted this... Omar Rowe ‏@Omar_rowe Saints vs Arsenal 3rd game of the season at St Marys. #SaintsFC

The fixture list isn't purely random, so you can't strictly look at it through probability.

... Fixture lists aren't completely random as they take into account many factors, but if they were random the odds of promoted teams meeting on the opening day are relatively small.

Aren't they trying to avoid having games in London during the Olympics? EDIT: maybe not, just checked and the opening fixture is in the gap between Olympics and para-olympics.

See above.

Don't believe anything you read on this site... http://www.southamptonrumours.co.uk/ Any idiot can post a "rumour" on it, and they certainly do...

We were the best singers in the Premier League 10 years ago according to this... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1878128.stm

Nicely sidestepped my counter there Turkish.

Well, if you want to use that line of logic, the media said Aston Villa, Newcastle, Sunderland and Everton wanted Jay Rodriguez. Where did he end up...

The system the club used led to Saints being promoted as the league's top scorers and with one of the best defensive records. I think Adkins balanced Hammond/Cork/Schneiderlin's roles just fine as it allowed the team as a whole to perform offensively/defensively.

You really must watch a different game to me, Schneiderlin gives the ball away the least of any Saints player.
