Give it to Ron

I am very surprised that the official figure was 23k especially as the tickt booth in The Marland said they had nearly sold out. I thought the atmosphere was superb today in the Kingsland/Northam end - having the corner filled in really helps the continuity and sound.

Wave are talking ****e ... As of 11:00AM today (Monday) around 23,000 tickets have been sold, but the game is NOT SOLD OUT YET, so we are calling all Saints fans to make a trip to St. Mary's the best use of their Bank Holiday Monday! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11624

Just had a text from my daughter who is going with others from her team and there has been quite a big sale today as they struggled to get some together.

No fajitas, chilli and empanadas....we could also pay him out of the new catering menu from our Mexican owner.

They have a box at SMS and have done so for quite a few years. They are a toy manufacturer as others have stated like Power Rangers. A mate of mine used to be quality manager for their UK imported stuff.

You have said exactly what I wanted to far more eloquently than I could ever do. If consortium A are that wishy washy they have bailed out now then they are obviously not right for us. We have years of crap to get over and still more to come as League one will be no pushover so we will need strong leaders not airy fairies who leave at the drop at the sight of handbags at 10 paces.

My mate is the stadium team announcer at Brading. I have watched them a couple of times this year ...decent defence but poor up front. Home pitch suffers from poor drainage but decent catering ;-)

Well you may soon get your wish as if Eastleigh win promotion we will potentially only be 2 leagues apart! Personally I want someone to come and and clear all the debt and make sure we never, ever get in this position again. If that takes being a millionaires play thing for a few years I can live wih it as I have just endured a few years of hell under Lowe, Wilde, Crouch, Hone and Dulieu.

along with Parkinson for their handbags at 10 paces...according to SSN

Thats exactly how I feel, I WAS a shareholder ...only a small one granted. I own 2 ST's, I also pay for my other child to attend on occasions. I regularly buy them kit, programmes, food, drink and at the weekend went into the shop and bought 2 more shirts. I do not want the club to go under but want to know where any money I further donate goes because if its going into the PLC, Administrator, PR guru or accountants fees then I am out.

Dont call me Shirley....... So we may go from Rupert to Rupees....

I wonder if these 2 things are related as posted on the LC on the Radio thread earlier this week. derry derry is offline Full Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 2,675 Default Quote: Originally Posted by Third Division South Days View Post On at 6.30 ready to answer listeners questions Ask him what was Royston Smith Southampton Conservative leader doing, going into SMS with him at 1630, are they putting a deal together to buy SMS.

But that to me was why he never did as it was a question of when they buggered it up not if. There was plenty of evidence to say they would of on past history and now proved even further given all the money we have wasted this year. Coaches on gardening leave, mysterious Dutch agent/advisors, some absolutely appaling loans and signings. I know you dont get down to the reserves much but honestly it would take you 10 minutes to see Gasmi, Molyneux, Forecast, Pulis(yep I have seen him play for us) and to some extent Boyle are not up to the CCC. Boyle may prove otherwise long term as he looked Ok when I saw him but he is far too small and lightweight - a bit like Smith.

Would you of trusted Wilde with 2m of your money given what had gone on previously?

Or kept back the Burley compensation to pay for Pearson? That was a massive bonus on something that just came out of the blue. Trouble was the JP for Pearson arguement was never about money but one mans fantasy to have 99% of the squad from his academy set up regardless of whether they were ready or not.

That is something I totally agree with and born out by a few comments last night during the Man U v Porto game (during switching to SSN every couple of minutes). The commentator stated that Porto were now known as a selling club as they had recently sold loads of good players Deco, Carvalho, Costinha, Maniche, P. Ferreira, Nuno Valente, Jorge Costa, V. Baia and Carlos Alberto. If its good enough for a massive club like Porto then its good enough for me to be know as a selling club.

The funniest bit for me is the bit about club wasting money on transfers and players.... Delgado was great, so was Gasmi, Pulis, Forecast, Schneiderling all of course signed by his predecessor in 2006 when he was not here.....oh hold on! Its quite amusing to read the luvvies like NC, John B, the Nicks and of course loveable old rosey cheeks thrashing about like wounded sharks attacking anything and everyone bar themselves.

Royston Smith is Tory http://roystonsmith.co.uk/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=25

Now that is one of the greatest re-writes in history!!! Wilde disappeared looking for investment..was he on Shergar by any chance or was he voted off by the people he appointed as they sussed him out....brilliant. You missed your vocation JohnB you should be a defence lawyer. The 80% salary was a short period of time...read the AGM notes and Dave Jones quotes.

Well up to last week I was a shareholder as well so I had many hats under loveable old rosey cheeks...

There is that Rupert trait you share ....you have been a luvvie too long Nick you are sounding like him now.

-17 points to be carried over to next season.

Well we could use the stadium to show another 200 so the Art luvvies have 2 galleries...well we already have our own contribution of a train. Its the Echo stirring it to sell papers nothing else.

I posted that on Saturday in the match thread...it was doing the rounds at Northam Club.
