It's absolutely incredible how many people trott out the '55,000 to wembley line' everytime this subject comes up. Millwall and Luton have both taken similar numbers in recent years so I guess they should expand too? Anyway, back to the subject, I'm pretty sure the club would have looked into all avenues for expansion, the German model, more tickets for away fans, easy jet type pricing, flexible pricing, man walking on the moon, Chelsea crowds in 1984 and all the other brilliant ideas that our genuses said was reason we need a bigger ground now now now and decided that after all, it wasn't soon yet. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?37346-St-Mary-s-What-we-might-expect-to-see-happen-(and-possibly-announced-soon)

Kind of feels a bit like your wife leaving you for their teenage crush then finding out they're stuck at home cleaning the house whilst their old/new piece is out partying with other mates, doing all the things she thought she'd be doing with him.

I'm not saying it didn't have it's moments, as I said night games could be electric and It's a hell of a lot better than st Mary's is. I loved the dell and everything about it but taking the nostalgia away most weeks it was pretty average with the only noise coming from the back of the Milton and east stand terrace
-
So were you a going 'down the Dell' or a going 'up the dell person'? I was the latter.
-
Now that was something special, I've never heard so many people come steaming back into the Milton saying 'I only went for a p*ss and missed the goal'

Personally always thought nostalgia has overstated the dells atmosphere. I started going regularly mid eighties and whilst night games could be something special in general it wasn't that loud at all. The main singing areas were a small group at the back of the Milton and the lower east. With the open terrace of the Milton the noise didn't really travel. In fact I remember an article in one of the paper fanzines from that time saying how poor the atmosphere had become. I expect oppostion players found it intimidating due to the fact the first row of fans were about 5 feet away and could hear every word shouted at them. It might have been different in the 70s but certainly from the 80s onwards apart from big games and some night games where the Dell could be a magical place the atmosphere wasn't like some make out.

You must be hating how things have turned out

Many saints fans were prepared to accept anything if they were told what they wanted to here and given a sniff of the champions league, even if it was only talk.
-
Sums it up though doesn't it? An angry little man who should be nicknamed the reflex kid the rate which your knees jerk. Just admit you lacked faith in the club to get things right and now you're dismissing our decent start as simply boring and only beating a few sh*t teams. Are you even a saints fan pal? BTW we ain't qualifying for the champions league this season and we weren't going to last season. Try not to kick the table when you read this princess xxx

Whatever happen we can be rest assured that Les 'the milkman' Reed will deliver everything that we need acting decisively with the minimum of fuss as usual.

This is good news! We all know Gareth crooks doesn't have a clue what he's on about so the less our players he picks in his team of the week mean the better they must have played
-
This time last year you were laughing at people saying this sort of thing. One look our fixture lists shows the teams we've played also play in stripes and the only team to have beaten is play in plain red and have loads of fans in Asia for reason alone. And we've only beaten sh*t teams. Are now saying because of stripes we're going to make the champions league? Is it?

Maybe you could dress as john major, you're that interesting.

Already been suggest Brett you lemon, keep up.

And he was desperate, desperate I tell yah to hear who the new kit manufacturer would be. Idiots not ringing him in Brazil to tell him what was going on.
-
We really do need to do something to show them what we think of them. The ambition has gone, this board do things to make your eyes water. Perhaps we should have a stall in the car park where we slice onions as they also make your eyes water, then we take our sliced onions and present them with 30 Pieces of silver to show how we've been betrayed.
-
Remind me when and where they are. Should we all dress as clowns to show the board what we think of them or something?
-
Load of nonsenses pal. Playing 2 up front doesn't leave you wide open. Man city have often played with two up front, it's the talksport type 'playing two up top leaves you exposed' brigade that invented that sh*te. Playing two strikers means you play with less attacking full backs, two holding midfield players, or even a good old fashion 4-4-2. Absolute myth and something said by people who have heard other people say it.
-
Another example of the cluelessness of the new board.
-
Still out if his depth, never going to cut it. The new Altidore. All FACTS
