What on earth are you talking about?

In any case, the tickets are likely to be very cheap for this game, it may even be the first home game of the season which will boost the attendance. Nearly 11,000 for the Carling Cup 1st round tie against League Two opposition Northampton in 2009/10. Which is a huge figure for that stage of the competition against a lower league club. 17,000 against Bournemouth a year later in the 1st round, of course boosted because of a "derby" and large numbers of travelling fans. The Torquay game may well see figures similar to the Northampton game in 2009. 10k or 11k in the League Cup first round against a League Two team is huge.

It would when they have to agree the price with Torquay United. Why would Torquay accept Saints season ticket holders getting in for free and them missing out on a cash boost? Also, why is it "boring"? I like to watch Saints win, they have a good chance to win this tie and progress to the 2nd round.

Can anyone think of any examples of teams wearing kits in pre-season that they then don't use during the forthcoming season? I can't. Will Saints be wearing the 2010/11 kit in the games before the 23rd July?

That would make more sense. The article, like many from the club atm is a little vague.

Glenn Murray turns 28 years old in September 2011. Can he really be described as a "young talent"?

Pre-order is from Thursday 30th June, not the 20th. The article also states the kit will be launched on 20th July and will go on sale a day later on 21st July. Strangely that means you can pre-order it, three weeks before you know what it looks like.

How do you know that?

Football contracts in England end on 30th June each year. Norris is still an Ipswich player and will be paid by them up until that date, when he will then sign for Pompey.

Planning permission was granted in February 2011 for the temporary training buildings Saints will use during the construction phase. http://web3.newforest.gov.uk/images/planningimages/169247_1.pdf On the 5th May 2011 you can see that the temporary buildings are now in place... You would think they would be doing this because building work was taking place as soon as the Walsall game was over.

A hint it will be thin stripes?

Can never get tired of watching this, the ultimate improvement...

You aren't in a great position to comment on other team's stadiums when you visit Fratton Park every other week and the club's only idea of infrastructure improvement was to use seven years of Premier League TV money to put a roof on the away end.

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/companydetails/0,,10280,00.html That is still an answer. It just happens to be a little vague. Maybe Cortese has a small % now?

I don't, just a guess. Would I not be right it saying the majority of people wouldn't pass their estate onto a sibling if they had a wife and children? Especially if the siblings were already extremely wealthy.

His wife and/or children. Not his sister and brothers.

It states who owns Southampton club on the OS. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/companydetails/0,,10280,00.html

You are confusing Markus' close family (i.e. wife, children and the Mali Group started in the 1990's) with his siblings Isolade and Willi Liebherr's business (the Liebherr Group i.e. the one started by their father in the 1940's). The 442 article states the Liebherr family (Markus' close family) is worth £3 billion. The £3 billion they talk of is for that of Markus Liebherr's estate. This is separate to the main family business run by his brother and sister, from which Markus sold his shares nearly 20 years ago. The Liebherr Group is worth far more than £3 billion and is far bigger setup that the Mali Group. For example it had revenues of £8.4 billion in 2008.

Nike own Umbro and thus made the very popular Saints sash shirt for 2010/11.

Norwich 2nd Leeds 7th Millwall 8th - Were any of their squads better than Saint's in May 2010? - Do you honestly think Saints aren't going to spend this summer?

The BBC changed the tables earlier today, but they messed it up. If you just click on one of the League name it shows the 2010/11 table , but if you click on one of the teams it shows the 2011/12 table.

19th May 2010

But you are still being disrespectful. Saying "no disrespect" beforehand doesn't make it any better.

As Saints are shopping for staff in the west country with this guy from Exeter City, I've heard Torquay United have a good Spanish waiter.

Adam Lallana signed up to Twitter today. He is following 14 people, one of them is Jack Cork. EDIT - No he didn't, some random fooled Ryan Dickson into thinking he was Adam Lallana.
