I think the essence of the tradition remains, slightly modified to allow for scrutiny and transparency of the draw, but in general it is still 'balls being pulled from a bag'. Simple and easy.

Leave the FA Cup Draw alone.... don't **** with tradition!

tht exited;) .... had a one man disco in the middle of a field in deepest darkest wales! ..... do we own flat 12?

I think your text got read out on radio solent!

Two Games from wembly! bring on the Mk don's ....How can you get that excited listening to Radio Solent!

.... and not a good pan full of fried up sprouts and mash and turkey? what sort of house do you live in?

What are you doing at the weekend?.... being Saturday and Sunday, Monday being the accepted start of the new work/school week - But Sunday being the actual start of the week! but in the bible the sabath was the last day and a day of rest after 6 days of toil...... and on the seventh day (and all that!) pretty ambiguous one thinks:smt074

Surely Boxing day is the 26th?? The day after Christmas - Monday is just a bank holiday as one of the two official holidays is a weekend, which is a day off anyway??:confused:

Why would you move to a SMALLER club?? don't be daft!

I can't believe that so many people are so short sighted as to the huge benefits that being a host city will bring. Everything the 9 has written above is correct (by the way went to watch the mighty newport county last night!). This City needs something to generate a buzz and being a host city would certainly do that - the 'shoe in' for the rugby world cup does n't count because we are traditionally a football city - the city needs something big, this was the next opportunity... yet again they (the council) have failed to grasp the nettle. it gets added to the list but we need to do something to get this place back on the map!

Because he was never given the ****ing chance! One of the greatest talents ever produced and completely wasted because of venables love for sick note.... still a ****ing disgrace!!

Regardless of the Club being in administration the bid is with regard to the city hosting matches for a world cup some 9 years away. What was going to happen if the club had folded, would the stadium have just been flattened to the ground? Of course it would n't - The Stadium was always going to be there even if the club had folded..... which was never going to happen by the way! Also the council could have come to the table a lot earlier with an offer to help the club when in its hour of need..... but Royston and his merry band were too busy hunting out the yellow and blue ribbon to open the new Ikea!! Again there was a Echo front Page to say how the council were looking into ways to help b ut they were just media sound bites before they all disapppeared back into the bunker to discuss lesbian issues and traffic lights... They have let us down massively over this. By the way this company does n't spend money... it just collects it! The stadium is one of the few jewells the city has but the council just counl n't see what a massive missed opportunity this is. I went to Gun Wharf yesterday and walking around it I never fail to be impressed at what PCC delivered there - a shopping environment with vision and class like I said before our council has massively let us down... not just on this but pretty much on everything to do with give the city any hope!

Despite the big front page echo expose and all the melodrama about the FA/FL/PL, the only people to blame here are the inept and totally uninspiration Southampton City Council. The Bid should have been lodged at the outset. The benefits that we had at out finger tips far out weighed thhe rival bid from down the road, or indeed any of the other bids from citys such as Bristol and Plymouth. we have great infrastructure compared to other citys with good road, rail and more importantly air links. Our stadium still ranks as one of the best in the country and would only have required a relatively small amount of work to increase capacity, and our geographical location is perfect. So why the **** the dweebs that sit in office in the town hall did n't pull there respective fingers out to get an expression on the table is absolutely fascinating. They fail to deliver anything of any inspiration to the city..... apart form an Ikea and then wonder why electoral turn out is so absolutely shocking. You only have to look at todays draw in RSA to see what huge attention is paid to the World Cup and what business and revenue is generated from the event. The amount of attention that would have been on the area as one of the host citys for the first two weeks would have been immense and a reamakable feat.... but it won't happen as they have let us down again. if you want vision and innovation from a council I am affraid you have to look @20 east - they leave are council standing!:mad:

still 27 games left!

Why? ...one teamalways stormsup the table and we are looking like a good bet. The programme notes from hartlepoolread the same with Turner tipping us as the outside bet for promotion. We are only 13 points off of the promotion places but our form puts us only three points off the pace so why not just wait and see and enjoy the season!

Is this a five star way of saying FACT?

like this badge!

hats off to you mate... good work! let him know that he will always be a legend.THink the autobiography would be a stirling idea!

agreed.... a councilwith very little vision or innovation and sadly running miles behind there counter parts in both directions!!!

Thought wotton was very good when he came on.... really helped the defence out and it is great to have so many options now.... would just like a bit more variety from the countless corners we win... great result!!!

defo one team of three/four please can you let me know who to contact for more details??

Sorry... been away all day in wales... does anyone know the official score ... have we got involved or are the great council leaders in an emergency 'where toput the next set of traffic light' meeting??

nice to hear the woolston ferry - we should sing that more. ..... me and the carlisle flyer managed to stay on an industrial state in stockton (which my mhm says is used by the localladies of the night:rolleyes:) before hot footing down to the big smoke yesterday to watch 'The SPECIALS' at the appollo last night.... a fantastic couple of days......still think we need to do more at corners and give young james a break.... a very good away day!!!

robbery??
