Not when this fantastic football is concearned, we are more than just a pay cheque, we are a way of life.

Why should you not be charged? You are parking on private property. If you get a bit peckish or thirsty during the game do you expet the club to give you free food and drink as you are need sustinance whilst giving your business to the club? There are roads around the stadium where you can park for free if you are that tight you begrudge giving this fantastic football club a few extra pounds here and there. Anything that assists us getting ahead of the competition is a good thing IMO and a small parking charge is small price to pay for the contentness i feel knowing that my hard earned money is going to a cause i adore.

This cant be true. we were told by Westender on this weekend that money doesn't matter. Players will join clubs out of loyalty, love for the club, wanting to live in the area, dream move to a club on the up, where his wife & kids will be happiest etc. All we needed to do was tell him the vision and the plans for the stadium expansion, tell his kids if he has any Peppa Pig world is only 5 miles away and show his wife west quay shopping and they'd be falling over themselves to join us. Money isn't a factor.

This. Very much. Over the course of a year it only needs 2m people to use the stadium car park, which is nothing for a club of our size and we have got a reasonable central defender or midfielder paid for. I applaud Cortese for his forward thinking a vision. £1 is nothing to most of us but looking at the bigger picture is could be the difference between the riches of the premier league and play off disapointment.

I dont know, which?

Personally i think the price increase is great news, it shows we are ambitious and that we are using all reveune streams available to increase our profitability, which willl ultimately help us attract better players.

If you are playing for your season ticket using the installment plan do you get to spread the payments monthly? On another note, has anyone noticed the little message the barrier gives you when you leave the car park? AS you put your ticket it in and the barrier raises it wishes you to "have a nice day" What a wonderful gesture from Super Nicky, he truely cares about each and everyone of us, we never had that sort of thing under Lowe and i cant think of any other car park which sends you a personal message on your way out.

I think you are worrying about nothing, he has already said "we will do what we want when we want to do it." That says to me that this is a manager in calm, confident in control and knows what he is doing. He is intellegent and the current squad clearly love playing for him. When you take these things into account and that players we approach will all be eager to secure their dream move to Southampton i dont think Nige will have any problems attracting players, it's just making sure we dont mug ourselves off buy signing players to early when better become available later in the window.

PLease explain. What sort of players should we be aiming for?

Dont say that too loudly on here. Leicester are only signing sh*t players and will struggle.

The reason this place is dying is because all the decent posters that provide a bit of humour and controversy have been or are threated with being banned. Those that are left have to rein themselves in our they'll be out too when the leaders decided to flex their muscles. The other reason is there is only room for one opinion on this forum. Unless you think that Cortese is god, Adkins is Jesus and the pair of them getting the biggest, richest club with the biggest and best squad promoted from the third tier of English football was the greatest promotion since John the fisherman became John the Baptist then you are subject to all sorts of abuse. A lot of posters on here seem to live in some little fantasy world where Saints are on an unstoppable charge to champions league glory and anyone that dares to stand up to this fantatical and unrealistic view is put in the cyber stocks with cyber rotten tomatoes hurled at them by the lynch mob on here. It's interesting to note that EVERYONE who dare to say anything remotely negative is subject to torrents of abuse from the usual suspects, stand up to it and you get tagged teamed into submission. Until people on here get a bit more realistic about where and what SFC are, a newly promoted championship club and stop dreaming of playing champions league football in front of 50,000 fans this place will never improve. It'll still be full of what could be, should be and might be and anyone who dares to question it will be hung out to dry by the cyber lynch mob on a witch hunt to destroy the infidels.

We should be looking near towards the 28k mark given our potential and catchment area. Any less will be a massive disapointment.

Why would they want this slow, aging journeyman who would just run around shouting at players all the time?

That would tie in with us being the new Barcelona. Another cracking decision from Cortese to base the averge height of our academy intake on the Barcelona First XI. Fantastic progress, we would never have done this under Lowe.

which site is this?

i never knew looking for door mouses in a field in Gloucestershire could be so sexy

Pot and kettle fella. Cant help yourself but have a little pop at me every now and again can you.

LOL, says the man who asks me to take a bet which would go against the very thing i have been saying. You should stick to statistics about how many crosses the average championship full back made last season son.

To be honest i liked Haye before the fight, but have to say he's come across as a bit of a cock since he last night. Kitchko on the other hand has conducted himself with class the whole way through and proven himself not only to be an excellent boxer but a decent bloke, hats off to the guy.

Put me on ignore then. That's the problem with this place, any dose of reality and common sense is immediately jumped on as negativity and being argumentative.

A contestant on the apprentice. Deluded and mental to an unbelievable level.

Ohh Nicky, you getting a bit upset now princess?? According to you they have only signed league one level players. How are they going to improve on last season having signed such poor quality replacements to the super stars that have left them that took them to the heights of 10th last season? So £50 sweetheart, i say Leicester with their clown of a manager and league one level signs with a weaker than last season sqaud to finish top 6, should be easy money for you. Deal or no deal???

What are you doing posting on this board? glad to see it's none football related post though.

Er sorry, what is there to back up? I have said a few times i expect them to finish in the top 6 and are in for other, good players. It's you saying they are weaker, you saying thier signings are crap and not good enough for us etc etc. So now you want me to take a bet with you that they wont sign new players and wont finish in the top 10? I can see why you fit in so well on here, you're as mental, clueless and deluded as the average TSW poster.

SO now you've been asked to back up your words with cash they are suddenly a great team again. It was you that said they were weaker than last season, it was you that said the players they were signing weren't as good as the ones they have lost. Why would they suddenly become a worse team but finish higher? It doesn't make sense.
