derry

I have 2 season tickets and have bought 2 additional tickets, one for a friend and another to take someone. I really don't care about the, reduction. I would like the stadium to be full every week.

Rupert Lowe and his devisive controlling ego are what is eating the heart out of this club and dividing the fans and shareholders. Until he has sold his 6% and severed his ties with the club, whatever our league status, the club is unable to move on and recover.

I was talking to a well known ex Saint a couple of weeks ago. His view- the Chairman should choose the manager and let him manage without interference. Mr Lowe wants to control everything.

Whether you support or oppose Rupert Lowe there is one indisputable fact, his presence in the club is devisive. This applies amongst supporters and shareholders. We cannot move forward until Rupert Lowe severs all connections with the club.

Depends on the truth of the matter. It all adds up.

9500 STs approx. I'd be very surprised if many ST holders weren't there. There was certainly above 14000 in the ground. ST holders really can't be bothered to watch the tv and not go to a game already paid for.

Terry Paine had terrific peripheral vision. That is why he had so few injuries. Some of the Saints players tried to kick him up in the air, during training and couldn't get near him, as he was able to see them coming. Present day full backs who can't tackle, would present little threat to him. His ability to put the ball on a spot would always work. Look on the thread which is showing the Ron Davies four goals v Man Utd. Three goals from superb Sydenham crosses. Mind you he did overhit his fair share of crosses. Compared with top class athletes, footballers then and now are pretty poor physical specimens.

So you weren't there. The changes were farcical, the only thing we looked like doing was conceding more goals. We didn't have one decent shot on target the whole game. Their goalkeeper would have frozen, if he hadn't had Surman's free kicks to catch.

FFS they were minutes from administration, the shareholders donated their shares and cancelled about £20m debt. Sisu were given the club on the basis they would invest.

What ****es me off about Rupert Lowe, is that he only owns 6% of the club but acts like he owns the bloody lot. Of course he isn't going to invest.

A bit of hypocrisy there then. He takes out, doesn't and won't put anything in and will only sell to somebody willing to do something he won't.

What utter crap, I doubt anybody would recognise them, or even care. They are not exactly household names and anyway 29 have played this season. Only 13000 fans at the matches these days, I've seen most of the matches this season and would be hard pressed to recognise more than half a dozen.

Obviously not!

Yesterday we made three substitutions which resulted in EIGHT positional changes. BWP goes on for Thompson. BWP goes to LM, Gobern really lightweight goes CM, Surman in the hole and Lallana to RM. FFS why? Euell comes on for Wotton, Goes in the hole, Surman back to CM. Pekart comes on for Gobern, goes up front with McGoldrick in the hole, Euell to midfield. No wonder we can't put anything together up front. 4 players played in the hole, LM/2 RM/2 CM/5 (Surman twice) CF/2. Changes are being made for the sake of it. Lallana is skilful but no goal threat. McGoldrick needs to play up front alongside one of Robertson/Pekart/ or even Euell. Surman/Schneiderlin in CM with Euell and Gillett as backup. Euell/BWP to play somewhere. My choice, CF/Euell Hole/McGoldrick LM/BWP Schneiderlin and Surman at CM with Lallana RM. If there are substitutions we don't need to change so many positions.

I passed my FA coaching badge 40 years ago. You are probably right. I have a ST and their play sometimes borders on incompetence, without either change or instruction from the bench. It begs the question what have these players been taught, if anything at our much acclaimed academy, for the last 10 years. It seems most of them have been signed up as 10 year olds.

I saw that coming.

Here is a few. Mind you I'm not holding my breath, that they will be asked or answered. Who picks and signs the players. Who picks the team. Whose idea was double training sessions. Who complained, who sat out the second session and what was the justification given for double training. Who the hell is the defensive coach. Why don't the centre backs and defensive midfielders cover the right back. Why do the centre backs play square and don't drop off to cover each other. Why do players think 5 yds is close enough to mark and the cover if any min 10 yds away. Why all 11 players in our box for corners. Leaving 2/3 up will put a max of 6 opponents in our box instead of 9. How about the goalkeeper commanding the 6 yd box instead of standing on the line. Why are the defenders and attackers static at both defensive and attacking free kicks and corners, instead of staying back and attacking the ball as per Pearce on Sat. Why don't the wide players play on the touchlines. When they do, we keep our shape and penetrate, whilst if they don't play wide, our passing breaks down, reduces our width, destroys our shape, and allows the opponents to compact in defence and get at our full backs in attack. Why can't some of the players especially Lallana and McGoldrick cleanly strike the ball with power.

1960 FA Cup Man City (div 1) v Saints (div 3) at Maine Rd Man City 1 Saints 5 Reeves 4 O,Brien It just doesn't get better than that. Thousands of Saints Supporters walking together through the centre singing before and after the match. The special trains brought most of the supporters in together.

I thought it was the Abu Dhabi royal family investment company

No Chance as Surman, Skacel and Mills are doubtful, Lallana and Svennson out. Robertson and Gillett fit, Lancashire available nothing on Perry yet, he was ill Tues with a might be fit for Sat.

As I recollect, Saints turned it down as they weren't going to get sole use. A municipal stadium with Saints playing as a tenant. If only!

Are you saying that if SLH goes into administration SFC as wholly owned, is automatically in administration? Or as a stand alone subsidiary could it be out of administration and be sold as such? Does SLH own the mortgaged SMS or does a subsidiary own it?

Both.

Read the Daily Echo website. Reported massive row 3am night before disappearance, neighbour reported many noisy rows mostly early hours. Maybe one or other coming in late, just conjecture.

I would have thought that somebody aligned, but not part of a group, who reads the site and is named and abused daily, would wonder whether the best thing to do would be get out altogether. Bearing in mind that Wilde has walked away once, doing it again is possible. If he removed his proxy support to the Lowe axis it would scupper the AGM for them. If he is that desperate to sell his shares, he might make a deal to sell some and proxy the rest, it would depend on the mindset or need.
