This was my recollection as well. Amazed tgat Ipswich will charge their fans £43 for a seat in the corner. Do the clubs get any leeway to charge on a reciprocal basis? Or limit numbers depending on tickets made available in the opposite fixture ?

Was a No 10 for a while I believe.

So if Sholing find a great potential talent that Saints have missed, who’ll get the nod first, Saints or Chelsea ?

Jimmy Gabriel

Inspired by John B to go further into the memory, and perhaps a bit obscure as a double name: Frank Saul.

That’s a good delve into the memory bank. Well done, Sir. (Before me going to The Dell but have heard the name).

David Peach(es) As in one of Geldof’s daughters

GK: Here’s one I made earlier.

Surprised they didn’t get Eddie Izzard to model their new kit

I thought Vince was a close friend or supporter of Corbyn

Isn’t that the role Downs has signed for ? Can’t see us spending £18m on a younger player to send him to Goztepe

Eric Martin.

Looks the sort of bloke who’d appoint Russell Martin as manager. Definitely RM’s spiritual home.

Mark Dennis

Article says: Shouldn't be as many on here will no doubt be prepared to offer to drive him there.

That's enough for me. Anything else over and above that is a bonus.

Compounded by a more frightening thought is Smallbone tackling in front of him, and Bazunu behind him. Any bets on conceding 60+ again this season ?

Don’t disagree but it’s not the most crucial thing this summer.

I’d go along with this. The contract extension wasn’t great news but Saints have form for this. There are more critical issues to address than Jack Stephens remaining at the club. Stephens or Bazunu, I know which name I least want to see on the team sheet next season.

Depressing isn't it ?

I’ll reserve judgment on Still, await a few results and performances rather than a few friendlies and interviews with local media. As LGTL says the acid test has yet to come. But in fairness to him I think he’s been at the club nearly two months and in that time hasn’t told us what he eats or how he votes. For that alone I can start warming to him.

Another option that was once considered by the club but all went quiet was the option of an Away ST. Not fully explained what it was or explored, I assume it might have been a glorified or enhanced membership to get priority on away tickets.

I missed out on Northampton but am not moaning about the system. But how would the ballot work for a family group ? When we go to away games it’s usually three of us, so your ballot system would need all three to be selected presumably. Bollocks to that.

I fully accept he settled the squad well on arrival, overcoming the ‘scar tissue’ etc. If he wasn’t such an arrogant bellend his time with us might be remembered more fondly.

Agree. I’d be pleased to see Charles reach his potential with us. Keep Fernandes and he alone would probably see us have the outstanding MF in the Championship. And then there’s Smallbone of course …
