Kickoff will be 6.45pm. Not sure on the floodlights, if the weather's like last year I'd hope they'll put them on, but if it's "normal" end of May weather, we shouldn't need it. It only got so murky last year as it was a particularly cloudy and muggy day. All places are now filled, and these are the provisional lineups: HOME TEAM (manager: nickh) GK: Spades RB: Minty CB: bpsaint (45) CB: ooohTerryHurlock (45) LB: Neilza RM: Andy Porter (45) CM: INFLUENCED.COM CM: saintsforlife7 (45) LM: sotonjoe ST: RedAndWhite91 (45) ST: B Rabbit --- CB: magnet (45) CB: SaintDonkey (45) CM: forever a red and white (45) RM: Danny (45) ST: Foxy (45) AWAY TEAM (manager: dubai_phil) GK: REDARMY79 RB: GenevaSaint (45) CB: The Flying Finn CB: bigdavewatson (45) LB: JustMike RM: Griffo CM: prideofthesouth CM: Noodles (45) LM: Scudamore (45) ST: stevegrant ST: Um Bongo (45) --- RB: Delmary (45) CB: stusdad (45) CM: DrZuess1979 the 2nd (45) LM: Arizona (45) ST: St Hando (45) As I said previously, I've not been able to accommodate everybody in their preferred time slot, so my apologies to those who asked for 90 minutes but only have 45 minutes - at least I've saved you £120 I will be emailing everybody shortly with details on how to pay

I think that was the only pub in the whole of Norwich that had Sky when I stayed for the weekend there when we won 1-0 in 2007

Compleat Angler is usually alright, there's also a massive Wetherspoons on the Riverside complex, both of which are a minute or two from the station.

You didn't say whether you were willing to play at the back...

And of course you've been absolutely spot-on with your fortune-telling :smt033

Probably record Sunday week, released Monday (1st March)

Now open to Registered Users as well as Full Members, only two 45-minute places (defensive positions) remain available.

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.
