Fantastic signing, and if the fees quoted in the Bristol Post are accurate, it's an absolute bargain as well.

Write to the club and tell them you'll pay the extra stewarding and policing costs of having blocks 1-3 fully open - they'll be delighted with the kind offer. Do agree with that - rather than let the majority disperse, they inadvertently create a much bigger potential flashpoint by the entrance to the North car park.

Just the 33 people predicted 1-1 yesterday

I think it's probably safe to say the suggestion that someone was stabbed and/or killed is probably untrue - the Echo website would have run with a big story like that by now.

Usually a few days - there are some transactions on their way through by the look of it that will probably show up tomorrow; I expect yours is probably among them.

£250k was the fee Man City paid us.

Yep, they're fighting off a DOS attack... http://status.twitter.com

This. Massive relief.

Shouldn't be too long. However, it actually now appears that the BBC story was wrong and that they've not actually applied for the work permit yet because of the likelihood it'll be rejected, so they're "taking advice"...

It will automatically try again in three days time, although if everything's in order anyway, chances are it won't work then either. Best bet is to cancel the recurring payment in your PayPal account and resubscribe through here

There would probably be grounds for appeal based on him missing one world cup qualifying game through suspension and one ANC match presumably either through injury or suspension. With those two games ignored, he's played 8 from 10 competitive games, which would be enough to be eligible for the work permit.

If selected, yes. Not as far as I'm aware.

It's worth bearing in mind, before anyone uses that data to bash people with, that there was an African Cup of Nations tournament in January 2008, where Tunisia played 4 games. If he played in all 4 games, that would give him 9 from 12, which is 75%. Unfortunately I can't find any lineup data for those games on the FIFA website, the CAF website or Wikipedia.

The ruling certainly used to be that the player had to have played in 75% of his country's games for which he was eligible for (if he was suspended for any period, I don't think those games count), and the country had to be in the top 70 in the FIFA rankings. Whether that's changed recently, I've no idea. From April 2008 (the furthest back the FIFA website has match lineups) to now, Tunisia have played the following games: 1/6/08: Burkina Faso - Jaidi played (yellow card) 7/6/08: Seychelles - played 15/6/08: Burundi - played (yellow card) 21/6/08: Burundi - didn't play, presumably suspended 6/9/08: Burkina Faso - didn't play, unused sub 28/3/09: Kenya - played 6/6/09: Mozambique - played 20/6/09: Nigeria - didn't play, unused sub So from 8 competitive games in the last 15 months, he's played 5, which is only 62.5%. Even taking into account the game he was possibly suspended for, 5 from 7 is still only 71.4%, so that'll be the reason.

Arse

For that reason, I'm in

I dunno, there are a number of tits on here

And that revenue is dropping through the floor.

Surprised they haven't been given the Square, that's usually the pub of choice for the OB

E-mail me at steve@stevegrant.co.uk and I'll try to sort it out.

Yeah, there'll be an image next to the player's name and photo on the big screen when they're announced in the line-up pre-match. It'll also be listed in the programme and on the OS - see here for Simon Gillett's profile page :cool: They were both £700 each (as likely first-team regulars), so there's nothing left for SITC. SaintsWeb has made up the shortfall (haven't worked it out exactly yet, but it's somewhere in the region of £50-60 or so) as we didn't quite get £1400 from contributors. There will be some money from SaintsWeb going to SITC, though - I've not got off my arse to sort out the gate money from the forum match yet :oops: Haven't done so yet, but it's something I could ask...

Right, I think everyone's had more than enough time to vote in the polls, so here are the results. "New Signing" was the overwhelming winner in both player polls, and as a result of that we will be sponsoring Graeme Murty. I also got an e-mail from the club on Monday to tell me that Simon Gillett had become available. This was put to another poll, as his name hadn't been included on the original list. The vote was overwhelmingly in favour (65 to 2) of sponsoring him plus the overall vote winner from the other two polls. So there we have it... SaintsWeb Forum Members will be sponsoring Graeme Murty and Simon Gillett for the forthcoming season

Cracking through-ball :cool: right through the defender's legs
