Yes, we received all 3 of ours now, all by RM

What a voice, what a performer. Simply the best. RiP Acid Queen

Two of the best value player in my opinion are Tim Flowers and Mark Wright. Flowers was bought for 70k and really blossomed 😇 whilst with us, eventually moving on for 2.4 million. Wrighty was a make weight when we bought Keith Cassells (remember him?) so effectively free. Another one who was highly successful for us and garnered a decent fee when he moved on.

Sicknote is about 4 years younger than me, and lived just around the corner (the clue is in my username), I've known him since First school. He would destroy us in jumpers-for-goalposts games in riverside park or in the school field. We have a mutual friend who was his best friend from back then, and still is to this day. He was/is a Spurs fan and was thrilled when DA went there. Last i heard DA was earning £3k a pop for giving corporate/motivational speeches, wiki has him currently living in The States. Another Bitterne Park boy, who was definitely a Saints fan was Leroy Whale, but don't think he made it to the first team, another one you couldn't get the ball off in playground matches.

What a guy! Got to love the bloke. "Beat the Budgie" sounds like something he did in the privacy of a hotel room whilst on away trips 😉

Can't speak for the entire NHS, but I know that SGH is fully open, even for elective surgery. Mrs Geezer had an email today saying only those with child care issues and those that wanted to pay their respects would be considered for time off, if it could be accommodated, so not guaranteed. Mrs G is going in, taking the enhanced wages and a day of lieu.

Loved big Joe when he played for us, always gave 100% and was a master of the dark arts. My favourite memory is when he was chasing down a loose ball, sprinting side by side with the opo player down the touch line next to the East stand at The Dell. He gave a little nudge and the other guy ended up over the low wall and in row A, which, if you remember was below pitch level. Upon realising what had happened JJ looked over to survey the damage. Happy with what he saw he gave a toothless grin and a clenched fist salute to the East Stand 😂

One of our best, really sad to hear this. RiP Spike

Sadly he's stopped digging his hole now. RIP to one of the greats, and seemingly, one of the most genuine and nicest people in the world of British entertainment.

Shocking news. Saw him at The Brook in 2010 (I think). I've never seen anyone hit the drums so hard, or so ferociously, it was truly an experience that sadly I won't see again. One of the best, and will be missed. RiP.

Ah ok, I hadn't realised they'd changed it. It's been a while since my old man used my son's ticket.

The lights shows either a concessionary or full priced ticket, they don't differentiate concession types. Give pops the kid's ticket, that way when the light flashes, the steward will glance up and see an older fella and quite reasonably assume it is a pensioners ticket. The steward won't ask to see the ticket.

What a tragic day for cricket. Marsh was a legend when I was a kid and had aspirations of being a wicky, Warne a legend when my childhood cricket aspirations had long since crumbled. Two greats lost on the same day RiP both, but at 52 Warne was a terrible shock.

How terribly sad, he looked a real prospect and I expected him to go on and forge a fantastic career. I hope he is successful in whichever direction he choses to go. Credit to the club for doing what they could to support him.

Just seen on the beeb, passed away aged 80. Jazz drummer at heart, but did a great job of rock n roll. RIP

If you're talking about the new £1000 seats in the Kingsland, you'll be the first to sully them, the Queen gig was the Itchen stand only.

My son's got one, and he gave up his ST 2 years ago.

I've was double jabbed in May, tested +ve on Monday, my god, Sunday to mid Tuesday was the worst I've ever felt, never had a flu come close to it. Absolutely fine now, apart from a croaky voice, and and slight cough. Over those 3 days I lost 9lbs in weight, so every cloud and all that, needed to lose a stone, so had most of the leg work done for me 👍. To be serious though, I really can't get my head round those anti-vaxer freaks, I dread the outcome if I hadn't been jabbed. I now have to ride out the rest of my self isolation, with fingers crossed.

I see your Marsden & Chaplow, and raise you a Dave Armstrong and chuck in Keith Cassells to make up the numbers 😉

I'm going tomorrow, and printed mine off on Monday, probably worth giving the ticket office a ring.

Fonte and Alderweireld are also there, if van Dyke wasn't injured there could've been 6 past and present centreback in my fantasy team 😄.

I've been able to get a free 7 day trial on sky entertainment, got to remember to cancel it now though.

Very sad news. That is a terribly young age to go at. RiP and condolences to his family.

Any idea if he lived in Bitterne Park? When we first moved to BP, about 20 years ago, the postman would often mistakenly deliver post to us addressed to Wayne Talkes. At the time I thought the name was familiar, but couldn't place it, on the few times we spoke he was always very pleasant and apologetic on the postie's behalf. It wasn't until a bit later, when flicking through one of those fabulous Hagiology books, that I put 2 and 2 together. I've since assumed "my" Wayne Talkes was the ex Saint. My condolences go to the family.

I had this scenario in mind when they refunded me in error. The guy in the ticket office told me that everyone who was a STH at the start of the season wiil remain a STH until the end of the season, and all benefits will remain in place irrespective of refunds paid or not.
