Why 1st July? He is in contract that goes beyond June 2012 at the moment isn't he (as suggested by the price)? So can be sold now.

It doesn't say "pricing us out of a move", it says that Saints think it will put the price up. Two different things.

He has the cheek to call me "embarrassingly ill-informed" and churns out nonsense stories every day in the paper. I've read every post on this thread, I'm about as informed on this subject as you can get!

I missed the original article, what is now different?

No, it is a Stoke City kit as the URL suggests.

Jake Sinclair came through the Bath satellite academy. There are loads of them, it has been very productive and helped Saints get round the 90 minute rule for academies (which will be going this summer).

The Bath "satellite academy" is how we got Gareth Bale, amongst numerous others from south Wales and the South West of England.

It is a shift of sorts. If you had a family ticket in one of the blocks that is no longer the family section, then you are forced to move to keep a family ticket.

They shifted the family section this summer.

I agree S-Clarke.

It more than just the red box, there is a lower building that sweeps around the Chapel stand and connects to the red box.

With Ed the Duck and Andi Peters presenting Saints FM? This guy as the head of catering... And the janitor...

Maybe that is what this is for... Some kind of radio station/catering facility combo?

Beat you to it by a minute. Deserves its own thread really. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?38603-Season-ticket-video

Deserves its own thread... Enjoy.

The whole area of "bigger clubs" is subjective and makes it especially hard to determine the closer the sides are. Hence why it is easier to distinguish the bigger between Man Utd and Darlington, compared to Everton and Saints. In terms of population, it isn't simply a case of looking at the population of Liverpool and saying in a "top trumps style" that they beat Southampton. Nottingham is a bigger city than Southampton, yet would you claim Notts County are bigger than Saints? Also you at least appear to assume (given you awarded a point for each factor), that all factors should be given equal weighting when determining "who is the bigger". I'd argue that some factors play more significance than others.

I've already answered this. You are making this hard when you refuse to read my replies to you.

Is it hard for you to understand that some questions can't be answered unless you have the required information? Simply forcing someone to answer despite this is a bizarre logical step. Also see post #336.

Simply saying Liverpool and Birmingham are bigger cities than Southampton isn't enough justification. Nottingham is a bigger city than Southampton, yet would you claim Notts County are bigger than Saints?

I've already given an answer to that. It isn't a question that can be answered at present with the information available to us. "Bigger club" debates are all very subjective and ultimately pointless and end in circular arguments anyway.

I asked when it started, you still haven't answered.

No, what I wanted you to do was to look at when Saints averaged 30k in a 32k stadium and came 20th and compare that with Everton coming 7th and averaging 33k in a 40k stadium. Can you honestly not see how that is telling of the fanbases? No, of course you can't, hence why we keep having these circular arguments and even I am now starting to get bored of them!

And how long has that been used for? Even in the 1990's Udinese were only averaging 23k, which means they had fewer home fans than Saint did in League One.
