This took place outside of the ground between two sets of people who happened to support different teams. Other than that it has very little do with football. It did not take place inside the ground. Fights happen in pubs every day of the week for all sorts of different reasons and all too often people do get their heads stamped on. I once had my skull fractured during such an event. IMHO it's about time this thread was locked, it was done to death before it seems in the thread just after the game. Let's get back to talking about football related matters.

Gotcha! Hmmm, Aldershot maybe? I'm only guessing.

Best post on here. Pretty much the only really sensible one. Can anyone say why the police don't hold away fans back? There's always trouble and a bit of intimidation as the opposing sets of fans pass one another. Absolutely daft.

Probably not so behind closed doors afterall, otherwise why would they want to inform all supporters about the reshedule? This game vs Brizzle will be open to public.

Pretty sure Thomas captained the side a few times and was captain for his previous club for a while.

Sorry Piltchards, just read the OP again and it's clear you are talking about the team in which case you have to say Swindon away.

No, the forced administration was the end of the rot for me. A really exciting turning point. For me the lowest point was some time last season when Lowe seemed to be preparing us for life in Division 1 with the youngsters, a poor manager and no investment - I could only see attendances dropping further, more in-fighting and more protests.

On the contrary, they would have had the place buzzing.

For me it was the Birmingham game that was the best. Brum hardly touched the ball once all game - I recall shouting "you can't handle us" at their manager from a couple of rows back.

Yup, but some people on here actually do their jobs well.

That would be my choice too. Supported Woking as a kid, which included the amazing cup run when they beat West Brom 4-2 at their place and then narrowly lost 1-0 to Everton, the reigning cup-holders at the time. Happy happy days. Timmy Buzz Buzz Buzz.

They had an incredible run with Keane after being rooted to the bottom as we are. We need a similar epic run. Unlikely but utterly possible given the way the team is beginning to gel and the possibility of further investment in the first team throughout the season if our good form continues. On paper we have one of the best squads in the division and our look on paper is beginning to show signs of transferring to the pitch. We have to win each game thgat you would expect us to win - against teams from about 8th down and pick up points against the top 8, which we showed signs of doing even before the current team selection bedded down.

Anyone remember Gwen Stefanni??????? A few times we've been on the rack But since Liebherr its not gonna be like that 'Cause there ain't no holding us back now there aint no holding us back now Let me hear you say This **** is Lallana's, L-A-L-L-A-N-A-S [4x]

Met him a few times - nice lad and I don't begrudge him doing the best for him and his family. With a better squad around him I'm sure he could have really shone for Saints. I note what others ahve said about players leaving too soon. Personally I think it was the right time for Surman. Lallana on the other hand does need to stay to develop further. I would add Bale's name to the debate - what a waste of incredible talent.

Lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!

We will not win this unless Leeds and about 3 other good teams in this Division get knocked out before we get to play them. We will win tonight but we have too many frailties defending right now.

Yeah, we should just pick em up and move em. Wouldnt take much in terms of reconstruction or anything. Ermmmmmmm......... Have you seen the boxes at Spuds? I think how lucky we are at Saints every time I see White Hart Lane.

He was on the bench. That's good enough for me. Everyone who was there for that game can recall how great the atmosphere was. Despite the tenseness of the match I always felt we would win and beleived that the players could raise their game at any point, especially with our backing which was first rate.

Bloody hell!!! Are they still doing this? I still take a spare cap each time I go out of habbit from having a ST in the Northam a couple of years back.

We seem to have stopped the long songs, other than away by the looks of it. I remeber singing OWTS and barmy army for 20/30 mins at a time a few seasons back until I nearly fainted (nothing to do with the beer, honest!). Even a vocal Northam aint gonna do the trick though I'm afraid. changes in the Itchen North and the Northam/Kingsland corner have made things difficult. Too many Saints fans just dont want to sing - or at least don't want to be one of the few that sing in certain stands - it's too embarassing and you get too much attention fro mthe stewards who think you're either mad or drunk.

As said in another thread, move the home end to the Chapel. A concerted effort could be made via websites and by handing out fliers at the ground before ST renewals and in time the Chapel could be a really good home end. For those that think this is not possible, You're wrong - it can be done. I stood in the Northam for years but have now moved over to the Itchen with my folks. I'm sorry to say that the Northam really doesnt make much noise anymore, at least compared to the away fans. We should have a whole home end to roar the lads on. You do not need to be right next to the away fans - opposite is in fact better because you can get better banter going and the atmosphere would be so much better. Closing the Northam/Kingsland corner and the relocation of the singers in the Itchen North has made things worse.

LOL, love it! Brilliant.

LOL, nice point about Christians but you're anaology is worng. Their faith is based on untruths. My faith is based on evidence of what I have seen with my own eyes.

Actually I am not sure we have improved much over that timescale. We have become more adept at defending set pieces and we have an aerial precence both in attack and in defence but with that some new weaknesses have also appeared. What I think I am seeing is potential, rather than an improvement. I have no doubt a fair few of our squad will leave either in January or at the end of the season and I would expect a fair few new faces in as well. Pards is testing players this year - those that make the grade will play their part in the promotion push next year and those that dont will go. A few people on here seem to have short memories. Let's not forget how bad a shape the squad was in before the takeover. It's a work in progress. Progress will be thorough and methodical. I have hope for the future, but at the present I see little improvement in the football on game day especially in the STYLE of football we are playing. I have faith.

pffff, not like we got excited about Theo at 15 was it.....
