I see it's got a coming soon page up on the OS site at the mo. Wonder what it'll be like....

Maybe not as much as others, but until that takeover has gone through i'm not gonna be getting carried away, we've had far to many false dawns even in my relatively short lifetime

Although good that we appear to have been saved, i'll wait til i know the details and who the money man/men are before i get too carried away.

Just received this for the Stock Exchange: 15 May 2009 Southampton Leisure Holdings plc ("SLH" or "the Company") Termination of talks Following the suspension of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM and the appointment of joint administrators, the Company confirms it is not engaged in any talks with a third party regarding a potential offer for the shares of Southampton Leisure Holdings plc. Accordingly, the Company is no longer in an offer period pursuant to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. However discussions are still ongoing regarding a possible sale of the assets of the Company, including Southampton Football Club.

The lack of confirmation of who was actually playing stopped me buying a ticket.

Don't really follow cricket but am doing Fantasy Cricket to try and get into it. How come Pothas isn't playing at the mo? Should i replace him?

So why doesn't he say who he had lined up? Maybe it's cos the British Manager wasn't anyone the fans would have been impressed with.

I thought he turned us down to go to Cardiff instead? 123 games for them in 4 yrs, will probably find another championship club i'd imagine.

Also Jamie Hatch and Jeffery Imudia not being kept. Thoughts on them being let go..?

Without knowing names, we could do with a proper left back for starters! a centre back with a bit of pace, a central midfielder who can put his foot on the ball and find a pass, and a big lump type forward who can put himself about and unsettle the oppo defenders.

Impression i got was just another group that were in talks, only difference is these ones didn't mind their names being made known i seems.

But how do you know they aren't just the front of a group and have serious wealthy backers behind them? I know they wont cos this is Saints we are talking about, but you never know..

Seems to be quite a few stories coming from The Guardian recently. Wonder if someone has a contact with them and is leaking information, bit like Lowe and Tha Mail?

After yet another penalty miss today, just wondered how many this is now this season we have missed? We used to be so good at pens with MLT and BT :-(

Who or what are Bandai? Donation of over £1K from him/her/them

Billionaires don't happen to Saints Multi Millionaires don't happen to Saints I'd settle for a millionaire if it meant Saints stayed alive.

Branson via Vigin has just invested heavily in F1.

If we can sell out the last 3 home games that 90,000 through the gates, which is probably the equvilant of 6 homes games based on our attendances this season. Gotta be good for the extra cash flow! Even if it's 15,000 extra per game at £15 per seat thats an extra £675,000 in revenue!!!

Any idea what our players wages bill is for a month?

The pledge total currently stands at £210,500 min (assuming the £5K+ put in just £5K)

Only problem is we have 24 days to get takenover otherwise non of these are going to be able to happen. We just gotta pray someone, somewhere wants to buy us.

£64,500 at least raised so far... if everyone donated what they said they would.

Nothing we didn't already know, but we are named as one of seven clubs in financial trouble in the daily mirror today. Us and Charlton being the highest profile of the 7. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/03/24/clubs-are-fighting-for-survival-are-credit-crunch-takes-its-toll-115875-21223958/

Think Victor Anichebe might disagree with you there....

Not too sure where i was thinking of going really, just SA in general appealed. Open to suggestions of where to go, and also places to stay, what was the lodge u stayed in?
