I beat you to it.

For those still doubting the Liebherr's willingness to see through Markus' "vision", one of the main BBC sports reporters (Dan Roan), 24 minutes ago Tweeted this... http://twitter.com/#!/danroan Hopefully he'll be producing an article about this "meeting" like he often does(see interview he had with new Liverpool owner John Henry). I'll update this thread when/if he does.

He has skin tone 14, which shouldn't look Caucasian.

He keeps getting injured. I've been able to get these players on frees and others over 48 monthly payments, allowing you to spend ****loads. I hope it doesn't turn into a Pompey situation!

First season in the Premier League... Season 3 It was looking like relegation until I changed tactics in early January and signed Willian. Was unstoppable after that. Stadium expanded to 35k. Signed some great players on free transfers in the summer of 2013!

I think you need to listen to it again! Not me. The actual words... "We have also plans regarding the stadium capacity but its much too early to talk about. The traffic problems that the stadium creates after a match like Portsmouth or Leeds, the stadium is not in the right location. Unless the area around the stadium is developed as well. If the council make us comfortable that development in the area will help sort out the traffic issues, I wouldn't see a reason if we had any plans to increase the capacity. But I wouldn't exclude the possibility that we are going to build a complete new stadium." Nicole Cortese, 13th March 2010

Nicola Cortese said in March 2010 that they have plans to expand St Mary's and also they would consider relocating if they can't. It is on record, so no delusion required. If the club think the only way to expand is to relocate then they will. Maybe traffic problems in the St Mary's area would mean it wouldn't be feasible to expand St Mary's.

Can you tell us anymore than that? Where it would be? When it may be built? How big it would be?

Is this just based on what Cortese said in March or have you heard something new?

Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card? Does you system meet the minimum spec for the game?

Use the editor and have a look.

Really is pathetic to bring it back to petty insults about me researching FM. Saints between 2001 and 2005 averaged over 30k in a 32k stadium every year, including the relegation season! No need to wait until back in the Premier League, the club will know that the first season in the Premier League will see a return to over 20k season ticket holders/3k away fans/increased corporate interest etc etc. It will become difficult to get a ticket again if you aren't a season ticket holder. A larger stadium also allows the club to be more flexible with ticket pricing and thus easier to build the supporter base even further. Until 2009 the club had never had real investment in the team if further player investment occurs the club will build the numbers of match going fans. If the Liebherr/Cortese really is to establish the side in the Premier League then a bigger stadium is needed. Cortese has already said as much in the March interview on the BBC.

Every season at St Mary's in the Premier League averaged over 30k. It will be too small for the demand the moment Saints get back there. Certainly no harm getting the planning process done now and even construction started for expansion so it is ready for a return if the Liebherr's are providing funding to support a Premier League team.

In the design in the youtube video, the footprint of the stadium doesn't really get any bigger.

All four seasons at St Mary's in the Premier League, the club averaged over 30k. If Cortese/Liebherr family provide the funding to support the club as a mid table or better top flight team, then expansion of stadium or a new stadium would be required. 32k simply wouldn't be big enough if they wanted to compete in the Premier League again.

A thread about St Mary's isn't complete without this... Created by a Southampton based architect firm (Dalton Crawley) and put on youtube in February 2010. Not sure why they did it, but it is just called a "design exercise". Maybe just an architect haing fun in his free time or maybe the club asked them for rough designs? After all, one month later Cortese revealed in an interview with BBC radio Solent they did have plans for expanding the stadium or possible relocation.

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone in the world. It is made up.

Have you got up to date drivers for your graphics card? Does your system meet the minimum specs for the game?

If you go on holiday, with "apply for any managerial jobs" and "return from holiday when offered a job" both ticked, then you will get one eventually.

It hasn't for me. Does your computer meet the min spec? How many leagues are you running? How large a database?

Season 1 Season 2 Pompey go down as well!

But extremely winnable and a good chance of the 3rd round.

He is the 13th best 16 year old on the game. What more do you want?

It was the 1st time Saints had been at home in the 1st round for over 50 years. It was easily the highest attended game in the 1st round. What did you expect honestly?
