Well they seem to have out voted him on that occasion.

Why? Don't you like watching attractive football? I suppose it's a case of 'what's the point of playing attractive football if you don't win?' - well we tried he opposite with Branfoot...

Why is that thick? OK - they are looking after their financial interests, is there actually anything wrong with that? If they are successful then the Saints benefit. Am I missing something here? Am I thick?

Us over 60's are seriously under represented!

Sadly there are some who want SFC to fail above anything else.

I was following your argument up to this point - just how fresh and enthusiastic do you want them?

Apparently, they are 'conscientious objectors'.

It was also his cross that made our first goal...

The directors were against the appointment because of the supporters' reaction.

If people don't want to go to matches because of Lowe - that is fine. What annoys me is that they then try to rabble rouse and get others to join as if not supporting was a mission. Never mind getting rid of Lowe, if they are successful plenty of people will lose their jobs because of them.

It was a bit like all those Americans who were convinced that Obama is a Muslim.

Nick Holmes told me that when he was on the coaching staff at The Dell, he told Nichols that he shouldn't pick Benali as he keeps kicking the ball into the crowd when passing forward. Nichols replied, "I know but when I don't pick him, we lose!"

I suspect that Golac will win the best ever right back section - C B Fry might get the odd vote, though...

Hang on! I'm only two years older than you - the southern league and cup finals were about 100 years ago and Paine etc roughly 50, that was my point... The goalie after the war was Ian Black - a Scottish international (who I never saw play). Sam Stevens was a midfielder we signed from Queens Park (I think) - he only played in the reseerves, Brian Stevens was a very tall goalkeeper who played for a while during the 50s (I saw him when we beat Bournemouth 7 - 0)

That period of our history is as distant to me as Paine and Sydenham are to the younger contributers on here - quite a sobering thought! My mother started supporting in 1923 and Charley Dominey was her favourite player until Terry Paine and MLT came along.

Quite a few of us are over 60... Sad, I know, but we love to reminisce (even about the third division south days).

I could have written that... my views and experience exactly. I also played against Dennis Hollywood in the local leagues after he retired and had put on many pounds - he still knew how to tackle!

One person heard the end of a conversation on a radio show - shouldn't wait until it's official before we get hysterical and start blaming people?

When they won 2 - 1 the other week, the report on the Championship said, ' Leicester managed to silence the boo boys' - perhaps all is not sweetness and light...

I thought they claimed they took it from a Bob Dylan song.

I think you are right - forgot all about that one!

They had every reason to be passionate as the style of play at the time was terrible! Good quality players were expected to aimlessly lump it upfield - now it's pretty but without the quality players... My next door neighbour moved from Reading and quickly bought a season ticket he was distraught when Branfoot followed him. The problem with the UI magazine mentioned was the headline 'I Hope You Die soon' - which was a going a bit too far.

Pretty sure it was the other way round, from Milton to Archers... 41 years ago though!

Bob Charles?

"Amazing football at times" was the quote. We have also been dire at times - seemingly when you attend! I guess it depends on whether you look on the bright side or not...
