Safe standing embraces exactly the same policy, all tickets issued are for a specific standing spot. And of course, it's easy enough, and entirely legal, for someone to go to a club's ticket office and buy a ticket for a game without handing over their name and address, so the identification "issue" would be no different.

Wasn't he sentenced to community service? It all makes sense now...

Fluked a refund on the train as one of the parts of the journey was cancelled due to the weather, so £59 wasn't wasted

I was under the impression that the burden of proof was on the prosecution to prove guilt, not the other way around.

Sorry, not been around much lately as I've had a big project delivery at work. Prediction League should now be updated.

Surprised they managed to get that much for him, to be honest. He's scored a few this season, but before this season he'd scored one league goal (which was actually an own goal incorrectly credited to him!) in 16 starts and 36 sub appearances

From less than half a season, and only playing two thirds of most games, getting substituted on 63 minutes, much to my annoyance

I think it centres around the well-publicised legal disputes between Gaydamak (Snr) and Chainrai/Kushnir in the past. They became interested because they were still owed money by Gaydamak and saw that the club was listed among his assets in an Israeli newspaper. It was obvious that he wouldn't sell the club to them, so they made up some non-existent Arab to effectively "flip" the club, but they had to string it out for a bit longer to make it seem credible ().

I will be responding to all applicants over the next day or two. Thanks to everyone who has applied.

Up and back on the day from Kings Cross, £59 return. Not completely hideous.

As you may have noticed, the news section of SaintsWeb has been restored in terms of content and enhanced with two new writers in recent weeks. I'm still on the lookout for a few more, though, to add a bit of variety to the editorial. As a result, I'm looking for three or four additional writers. Basic requirements are that: a) you can construct sentences and write coherent articles; b) you have a decent grasp of good journalistic practices (particularly related to ethics and law); c) you are reliable. I guess this role would be ideal for journalism students looking to get a bit of experience and add some "real-world" work to their portfolio. At this stage, this is an unpaid role. Applications should be sent either via PM to me, or via email to applications@saintsweb.co.uk Oh, and serious applications only, please.

Completely unrealistic... Owen Hargreaves still playing in 3 years' time

Considering some of the train wrecks we get normally, I'm generally delighted when we've got a demoted Premier League ref!

It baffles me why people continue to use thetrainline.com - they offer exactly the same routes and fares as the operators themselves, but they whack on handling fees at the end as well. I usually book mine through Virgin Trains, although it's often worth checking the operator of the train you're travelling on to see if the fare is slightly different. One leg of the return trip from Carlisle this week is using TransPennine Express rather than Virgin, and the same fare was about £3 cheaper than Virgin through their site.

He has a point, but referees are already demoted to the Football League after bad performances.

The tube (and DLR) will be running on the 26th, and all London buses will be running a Sunday service.

I'd prefer to go back to stripes. Firstly, this one was to represent a special commemorative occasion, and secondly we'd have to change "Come on you Reds" permanently, which is probably beyond a lot of our fans

Hmmm...

I'm moving this weekend and don't need the following items: 3-seat leather sofa Bought from DFS for £500 four years ago, in decent condition, although the middle cushion has a bit of a me-shaped dip in it Colour is "mocha brown". Indesit washing machine 1200 rpm, this model. Excellent condition, 3 years old. All offers considered, must be able to collect from Southampton before Sunday though.

Rather incredibly, 25 people went for 4-0 last night I should have some time to look at the intermittent saving problem this evening, by the way.

Ah... you've changed your username since the last renewal, haven't you? I was wondering who that one was...

Pretty sure the first payment of 4 pence in the pound was conditional on a) the club raising enough money in transfer revenue, and b) with the cost of administration deductible. So what, in theory, was more than £3m being paid out to creditors in March will be - at best - £1.5m.

It was me - their wages, at approximately £160k a month between them, account for almost exactly a third of the £495,000 monthly budget. Also worth bearing in mind that Hayden Mullins, Michael Brown, Richard Hughes, Dave Nugent and John Utaka are each earning more than Kitson or Lawrence...
