  1. I've never had to queue to vote so I myself would think that if doors closed at 10pm, I shouldn't have to get there by 9 to beat the rush. I know turnout is high but it shouldn't have resulted in long queues. People were just unprepared and expect there to be legal challenges if there are any marginal areas affected.

  2. Anyone planning to drape some flags on M27 motorway bridges for the Skates on Sunday to remind them of the manner in which they've cheated their way to Wembley? Just a thought. :mad:

    Wouldn't they be taking the A3 to London. The only people hat would see it are Sundat drivers.

  3. Out of interest - did anyone who had to pick up duplicate tickets from Wembley on the day have any problems getting their ticket, or finding someone else in their seat?

     

    I had no problems. I went at 10.15 to get in what I thought would be a long queue for the ticket office which Saints said would open at 10.30 to find them already open and no queue. I gave them my ref number and got my ticket with no problem. The bloke next to me was having difficulties as he was meant to be getting 6 tickets but only 1 was in the envelope for him. I was too interested in getting to the Green Man to find out what happened to him though.

  4. I will be spoiling my vote on come election time. Where I live I'll be lucky lucky if there are 3 parties, let alone minority ones. At a recent local gov election there were only labour and tory candidates. I would like to see voting compulsory, then we could sort out the people who couldn't be bothered from the those who don't feel they can be represented by the parties. If think an election where at least 30% of ballots were spoiled when everyone in the country voted would be quite interesting. I think voting is compulsory in Australia. Not sure if it works down there.

  5. Anticipating long queues I'd brought my own vodka and coke in 2 small coke bottles. Due to the ease of getting drinks at green man I still had 1 1/2 bottles left. I expected to hand them in at Wembley but the kind steward gave me a cup and then poured the drinks in. I spent the first half drinking vodka and coke watching game. Fantastic!

    Is this the way to liquidation,

    Pompey wiped from the face of our nation,

    even worse than relegation,

    And the Skates are f*cked again.

    Sha la la la la la la la,

    Sha la la la la la la la,

    Sha la la la la la la la,

    And the Skates are f*cked again.

    (We all know the tune. Let's rid ourselves of those horrible memories)

     

    I like this. And the end of every Sha lalalalalalala could be followed by you're f*ct

  7. Whats boring in talkng about Saints ?

     

    That final was at Wembley, 29.03.92 Saints lost 2-3 to Notts Forest.

     

    team was; Flowers, Kenna, Benali, Horne, Ruddock, Le Tissier ****erill, Shearer, Dowie and Hurlock. Scorers: Le Tissier and Moore.

     

    (the match looked like a re-run of the 1979-80 League Cup Final, when we lost 2-3 to ..Notts Forest.! )

     

    All this on page 301 of ...In that Number ..and much more.

     

    Duncan ( Fitzhugh Fella ) says there are still a few unsold copies available.

    At this rate I might need to buy a new copy myself...great reading for historians.:)

     

    I take it Moore was in the starting XI. I think you missed him. MInd you I don;t know who thes ubs were.
