Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything particularly good for our first go, by the way

I am delighted to announce the launch of the SaintsWeb Podcast I will (hopefully) be joined on a fortnightly basis by a varying cast of Saints fans to discuss the current issues surrounding the club. In the first episode, Dan Kerins is alongside me to talk about the MK Dons and Pompey games as well as having a brief look along the M27 at their financial woes, wrapping up with previews of our trips to Norwich and Wycombe.

Catching up on this thread this morning, just a point of order: no he isn't.

Suggestions that someone has actually been conducting due dilligence and may be revealed by the Guardian tomorrow. No idea how true that is.

Yep

That was what I was hinting at (probably badly), but I presume she would still be in trouble personally if they were found to be trading insolvently? It would be pretty obvious as to the reason she resigned as FD, after all...

I'm still intrigued and suspicious of her reason(s) for standing down as Finance Director but retaining the position Finance Manager.

Just two 45-minute defensive slots available now. As the 90-minute slots have been over-subscribed, there are likely to be 5 people who requested 90-minute slots who I can only fit into a 45-minute slot.

Anyone know what would happen if they were to fail to deliver the document on time today?

Jesus christ. As if the shambles couldn't get any worse

Assumption being the mother of all ****-ups, of course Jubilee line's often part-closed at weekends for engineering work, hopefully they haven't got any planned that weekend! Metropolitan line is another option and is actually a lot quicker from Finchley Road onwards, but it's really ****ty trains :mad:

I do wonder whether that process is legal (it's certainly ethically dubious), given that Mark Jacob is a senior partner at Fuglers - just a bit of a conflict of interests...

The tube station's only bad if the ground's full, and England games see thousands of people leaving in the last 5-10 minutes of the game to avoid the queues. For a cup final, where one set of fans will clearly leave pretty quickly when they've lost while the other will hang around celebrating, it actually works out very well. I went to the League Two playoff final (Bristol Rovers v Shrewsbury) a couple of years ago (attendance of 60k or so), hung around to see the Rovers celebrations after the game and still got on the tube without much of a wait.

Going back to West Brom, apparently.

Realistically, there are currently 6 scheduled services that morning. If (and it's a massive "if") they are all fully stocked with 10 carriages like the commuter train I get on every day, they could probably fit 1500 on each service at a bit of a squeeze. That would allow 9000 fans to get to Waterloo on the train. There are also two services from Southampton Central to Reading, where you could change to go to London Paddington. As these are Cross-Country services, they tend to have fewer carriages and fewer seats on those carriages.

I would be amazed if the coach companies haven't bumped up the price because they know the demand will be there. As Stu said, the Customer Charter or whatever they've called it this year states that coaches will be operated at cost price.

Presumably Chainrai, as a secured creditor, can put them into administration, and as he's now running the club, it's pretty much the same thing.

Ultimately, if it's proven that they were trading insolvently, Saturday's game should never have taken place.

The view counts are generally only updated once an hour.

I dunno, the interest rates should have recovered by 2020...

Right, latest update: Everyone who is a Full Member who has emailed so far is in. I'll list each of the people who have registered, but I'm not going to put any provisional lineups up just yet as they could (and probably will) change quite a lot until we've got both squads filled. In alphabetical order: Andy Porter, Arizona, B Rabbit, bigdavewatson, bpsaint, Delmary, forever a red and white, Foxy, GenevaSaint, Griffo, INFLUENCED.COM, JustMike, Minty, Neilza, Noodles, ooohTerryHurlock, prideofthesouth, RedAndWhite91, REDARMY79, SaintDonkey, saintsforlife7, sotonjoe, Spades, St Hando, stevegrant, The Flying Finn, Um Bongo Phil and Nick will again be managing the two teams. I am mostly looking for defenders now - centre backs, particularly

This must be the first time in history that Peter Storrie hasn't enjoyed having money waved in his face...
