Barry the Badger

I had to go for one at wembley 10 mins before kick off. Not one of the nicest experiences of my life.

I think you mean... and have course my favourite "of" instead have "have". HTH

I don't think he would have anything to do with ticket logistics though.

Sounds like you are the clubs ideal customer!

It's not the whole point though. Yes of course he will get to watch the game but probably at a fair amount of hassle to himself. Having already had to phone and chase, if they don't arrive he will presumable have to get to the ground early to make sure it gets sorted out. It's hardly the end of the world but it is an unnecesary pain in the arse I'm sure, and he's well within his rights to have a moan about it.

I had always assumed there were counters on the turnstiles..

My vote is still with The rhythm of the night, 'De Ridder on the right'. Would be nice to have a song we haven't robbed off another club.

I don't pay for this site to listen to idiots who think a flag is "gay", but here you are.

Here's a hypothetical situation for you. Tomorrow soliders arrive in your area, you are told you're being moved out of your house... But why? Well, because of the immigration of (let's say) Australians into the country, the south of England is being seperated off and turned into an Australian state. All English people are required to live north of Oxford, you will have to find a new home. Would you be happy? Now read up on Israel/Palestine/Gaza and then cross that one off your stupid list.

Wasn't it Lee Barnard for Matt Paterson + £'s?

Have I missed something? Are Saints not posting out any tickets now? I thought it was just the Season Tickets unless you asked.

The pub is normally wall to wall m1nge a hour before kick off on match day and I'm stuck there thinking "if only I wasn't wearing a football shirt".

It's all too quick now, I can't keep up. I miss the days of the 'Alan Pardew sacked' headline.

The figures don't really represent my expenses, as there isn't a section for drunken bast*rds who are appalling at betting.

It's part of the 'matchday experience' TM. Seriously though, I enjoy getting to the ground and having a look through the odds with my mates, arguing over what we should collectively bet on and then the collective joy/misery when we win/lose. It's not really about the money for me it's just a good laugh. It wouldn't be the same if we just all did it online seperately on Saturday morning.

edit - never mind

Actually that is exactly the point. Potential Health and Safety issues are supposed to be weighed against the chances/likelyhood of something going wrong. The chances of something going wrong with a big flag are extremely minimal. Unfortunately whats happened is people are afraid of the culture of blame, which means anything with at least a 0.0001% chance of going wrong is labelled as a Health an Safety risk to cover everyones backsides. The other thing is that people have become used to this over-protection and so instead of thinking "is a big flag really going to hurt me, ummmm, no" they panic about their chances of getting hurt.

Yes, I had forgotten about all those football stadium evacuations that happen on a regular basis.

I would rather we spent the money on getting the radio station back up and running and improving the catering.

I can't see it being anywhere near 22'000.

I feel sorry for the people who won't notice until they get to the turnstile.

That is exactly what I'm saying.

That's a great shout, had forgotten about that. Remember it as more relief than jubilation.

There was a fair number of run of the mill victories. But surely in there you experienced the massive highs of the moments others have mentioned. KD saving a penalty v Brighton, the MK Dons winner, the last minute winner at Brighton, taking the lead v United surely those moments stand out?

Yeah it's probably a speed thing. That's what happens if I try to watch using the 3g on my phone. I'm not sure if the Saints player video's buffer or not... Have you tried turning to the lower quality setting?
