  1. If it's a Cross Country service (which I think all Basingstoke to Banbury trains are), Group Save tickets aren't accepted on them. You'd only be able to get Group Save tickets on a SWT service to Basingstoke and then change to the Cross Country, which would have come from Southampton anyway.
  2. Not necessarily. I suspect they were working on the assumption that they would know one way or the other whether they were going to be running the club just before Christmas, so were happy to cover costs up until that point, but then the case got adjourned and the hearing itself might not get put in front of a judge again until next month at the earliest, so that's an additional two months' losses they would have to cover. Either their NW isn't that H or they're simply not stupid enough to keep throwing good money after bad.
  3. I think most lack the stamina to last to the end, usually
  4. Not quite such a safe haven these days... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20907359 Let's face it, this expenditure is clearly a pretty substantial gamble for a club of our size and stature, and there's no public evidence to show how much we borrowed from Vibrac Corporation in the BVI in August to finance transfer spending back then, so for all we know the club could have borrowed anything up to £50m. The gamble pays off if we stay up. At this stage we're still well placed to do so, but clearly there's still no guarantee of anything. However, then what happens in the summer? Presumably the Vibrac loan gets repaid, but then do we start the cycle all over again, or do we work more in line with what we've got considering the massive leap in Premier League TV rights money? Ultimately we've got bugger all say in what happens, Cortese (or anyone else who may have an input in how tight the purse strings are) is not accountable to any of us whether we like it or not. For me, nothing has changed in terms of the way I view the club, "proceed with caution" is my approach. I do think it is a massive credit to the many people who do continue to ask (but rarely get an answer, naturally) questions regarding this sort of thing, though - just think, if those idiots down the road had done so a few years ago, perhaps they wouldn't be standing on the precipice right now...
  5. 486 of the bestest there. Top, top turnout
  6. Oh look, they're re-writing history again
  7. That defending :lol: :lol:
  8. Worth pointing out that last season, Fabien Brandy was playing Sunday League football in Manchester. Conceding goals to pub team players
  9. Not true. This isn't the "10 points for going into administration" penalty, which is the only one where the Football League has a cut-off date. This is an abitrary penalty which can be applied at any time.
  10. Neither QPR nor Redknapp have ever had any dealings with Mr Joorabchian. Definitely not Edit: Or is it Zahavi? I keep getting those two ****s mixed up
  11. It's a third-party plugin, so if the developers who made it can fix it (and prove that it's been fixed) then I'll certainly look at re-installing it, but they've not released an updated version for a couple of years now so I wouldn't hold your breath.
  12. That's never going to happen
  13. Less than two weeks' notice And it'll be £50-odd as well.
  14. I've booked the Saturday night with return trains. Lastminute.com were doing a relatively decent deal on the Jurys Inn a week or so ago.
  15. Puncheon for me. Fair to say a year ago I'd have laughed at the idea If Cork had started the season then he'd be very close, but he's missed half the season so far. If he keeps his performances up for the rest of the season then he'll probably get my vote.
  16. Absolutely terrifying.
  17. Absolutely nailed it.
  18. Mopping toilets again, I expect.
  19. I'll let Baj field that one
  20. I'm comfortable with that
  21. It's never been a problem before. It's something that could be done at some point, but having spent my entire New Years Eve cleaning up after a hacker, it's quite low down my list of priorities, I'm afraid.
  22. The FAQ is the default vBulletin-issued set of questions and answers based on everything being left completely open. We've never done that for a number of reasons, the main one being security. Uploading files to the server leaves us open to someone uploading something suspicious and causing problems for the site.
  23. Morning all, As you may or may not have noticed, on New Years Eve we were the target for a bunch of annoying hackers. After spending a few days investigating this, it appears as though there's a security vulnerability within the Arcade plugin we've had installed and running on SaintsWeb for some time, and this loophole has been used to deface the site. In order to plug this hole, I have had to remove the arcade. I appreciate that a number of you used it regularly, and I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but the security of the site and user data is infinitely more important. Cheers Steve
  24. Upload them to somewhere like Imageshack or Imgur. Alternatively, if they're already on the internet somewhere, enclose the URL of the image in [IMG][/IMG] tags
