  1. I've been told there are problems with the existing structure,.

     

    I've heard this too, sometime ago. I haven't posted this before because I thought the source was a bit dodgy ie a ground worker & in my 27 years in the construction industry, I've yet to find a groundworker who's an expert in structures, however, he may have been right.

     

    the Architect was originaly employed by the club and was on insistance from the club employed by Leadbitter.

     

    It's not at all unusual for the Architect, Engineer or any other consultant used in the pre-contract stage to be novated across to the contractor.

  2. ALL catering outlets will sell them. The X's on the map are additional points which only sell programmes.

     

    Ah.. ok. I read the white crosses as being the catering outlet locations, rather than sellers additional to them.

  3. Um, so, the OS has updated.

     

    Programme Sellers map : http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/documents/sfc-stadium-plan-with-crosses148-409790.pdf

     

    "This includes all stadium catering outlets before the game and at half time as well as in the megastore before and after the game, as well as roaming sellers."

     

    Not sure this isn't a good move. Would have preferred the bikini cannons though.

     

    According to the map, the outlet in the Family Section, isn't selling them.

  4. Audio recording from a 1975 show, "Saviles' Travels", that has surfaced, in which a young girl can clearly be heard imploring him to "Get off my backside".

     

    Always thought he was a complete creep. At least he can be found guilty without the ordeal of victims being cross examined by his high paid lawyers. Explains why he had vile in his name...

     

    If nothing else, that is really quite creepy, even if entirely innocent.

  5. Personally I'm not too bothered where I get my programme from, but if the club have gone about dumping the sellers in the manner described then that is pretty low. I like to collect the progs & have one for every match I've been too, if I have to go to the Magastore for one I'll be sure to pay on my SFC credit card, thus earning myself a 10% discount.

     

    The timing of this is a bit awkward for me, as due to the ridiculous ko time on Sunday myself and oldest son will be arriving late due to his rugby match, but youngest son is being dropped off by mum to make his own way into the stadium. As he'll be arriving in good time, he is on programme purchasing duties, he will also be featured in this one, so it's doubly important he knows where to get one from.

  6. Can it ever be justified?

     

    When you really really need to know something. Like, Where this little girl is.

    If he's innocent though & genuinely doesn't know here wear-abouts, will he just give any answer the police want, to stop the torture, thus sending them on a time wasting wildgoose chase?

     

    I'm not saying the family are to blame, please note. No family should have to plan their lives around preventing a possible abduction. It's the bastard who has abducted the child that is to solely and wholly to blame .. and for whom I would break my usual principles and bring back the death penalty if guilt is beyond doubt... but I do wonder why this 5 year old child, with cerebral palsy what is more, was playing on her bike some 250 m from her house, out of sight of the family, after sunset, with no adult supervision.

     

    I agree, and as you said, the family are not to blame, you should be able to let your kids play unsupervised, but parents have to face reality, we do not live in Utopia & this sort of thing will happen from time to time. Our 11 (nearly 12) year old has to be in before dark. Paranoid, possibly, but hopefully sensible as well.

     

    Unfortunately, I cannot see this ending well.

  7. Steve as you say you don't know a grat deal about Construction industry.

     

    I only wish design was finished when job starts on site, but in my experience there are always loads of changes, and many features have not been fully designed prior to starting on site. Also the Client's are constantly changing their minds regarding the specification.

     

    The beauty of the Design & Build contract, or as we call them Build & Design.

  8. GET IN THERE!!!!!

     

    Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Ronald Reagan, George Washington, Babe Ruth, General Custer, Geronimo, Brad & Angelina, George Foreman......Your Boys took one hell of a beating.

     

     

     

    That is all.

  9. I think I just heard on the radio that Adam Lallana became a father on Wednesday. I saw "think" as I was leaving the room as it was mentioned, I've not seen it anywhere else, so I hope I'm not making it up.

  10. For those aged 40+ who went to Bitterne Park Comp, a certain Mr Horsley, the skate RE teacher, shacked up with a Doris from my year, who name escapes me, very shortly after we left school. Allegedly.

     

     

    Yep, I remember him and it was true. He was still teacher then when I was there for a while but he left under a cloud, was escorted off the premises. There was a big pupils protest in the underhall about it one lunchtime and everyone refused to go back to lessons. Never came to light why he 'left'

     

    Wow, I never knew that & I'm only a year behind VFTT. I think he was sniffing around Mrs Barnett as well.
