St Marco

Wouldn't that draw attention to you though? I mean if someone is jumping up and down like a monkey while pointing and laughing at people some may find that a bit "odd". The guys in orange coats might hand you over to the guys in white coats! Do it Turkish!

Forgot about Borderlands 2! There have been a lot of decent games out this year that should be in the sale There are a few more i'm hoping for like the new F1 game, Rayman Origins, Walking dead series, lego batman 2, Darksiders 2, Sleeping dogs, Dark Souls games, Torchlight 2, Dishonured, Hitman etc. Maybe pick up Resident Evil 6 if it is under a fiver.... The Call of duty games normally get their sale on xmas eve or xmas day. The old rule is never buy something that is not in the daily deal section because chances are it will be a daily deal eventually and be even cheaper.

I'm no computer expert but I imagine you do need a decent ish pc to play them. At least the newer ones will as they are very detailed. But I think for Rome total war you should be ok. I imagine civ 5 should be ok too.

I would say the Total War series was similar. They will be in the steam sales no doubt about it and will be cheap. I'd recomend Shogun 2 and Empire. But if you want more ancient era go for Medieval 2 or Rome. You can't go wrong with those games! Or Civilization 5.

Xmas sale should start tonight hopefully. This is the big one. Hoping fm13, xcom, far cry 3 and Assassins creed 3 get decent discounts

They are selling the 360 and ps3 versions for £23 at game today. Better be quick or they will all be gone! http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HubArticleView?hubId=183698&articleId=183699&catalogId=10201&langId=44&storeId=10151&cm_sp=christmas-_-deals-_-tvdeal

Hoping this one is in the steam xmas sale this week and will defo get it.

The Premiership is the best league in the world and naturally i'd rather Saints were in the top league. The thing is I imagine the few saying they prefer The Championship are basing that on last year rather then the other seasons we had there getting stuffed i.e getting relegated. That season was possibly the worst team I have seen us have ever. The football was awful and don't think there were any good momments at all. The best feeling I had when we were in the chamionship was surviving that last day against Sheff Utd. But in comparison to surviving in the PL the emotion was not even close. For me the games you win in the PL are more meaningful as they don't happen as often. If you win every week you tend to forget them as they don't stand out. Like we can all remember beating Utd 6-3 but do we remember beating Exeter on boxing day? And that is why I think the PL is better. Although we lost against the Manchester clubs when we went 1-2 up at Manchester City the chaos in that stand was amazing. We almost beat the champions and i'd much rather be doing that week out week in then win against a team that is of a lower level. Because a week or so later it is forgotten.

Any other company and they would of been put down months ago. The only people that benefit from today are the admin team. They continue to rack up their fees for a further month and no doubt on that court day they will ask for even more time. Somebody needs to do the decent thing and take ol Blue behind the shead and end it once and for all.... However for us lot there is more fun to be had!

And I bet half of them actually had their own court cases there to attend to and were just getting a free bus ride to the court

I'm wondering if Chinny is doing the old if I can't have it no one can move. Because as already indicated he wouldn't pass the FL owner tests so even if he won he couldn't run it.

Yeah that's what it sounds like. I don't think the fact they will put forward another admin is the reason they have pulled out.

It does not make sense. At least not to me.... The court case tomorrow is to see what the legal valuation on the ground is and give permission to the administrator to sell it. It is not a case where Portpin request a new administrator as wouldn't that have to be done at a different hearing? Why would Trev back out on the case being heard under threat of being replaced? Surely it is in the people owed moneys interests for a sale to be completed asap? Rt hey already had a vote with those owed money and the amounts were agreed. Secondly Trev would be able to say that the FL have already indicated that Chinny would fail their tests of ownership due to past administrations. Again having another admin in charge won't change that. Point being Trev could argue in court it is the only option they have. But to ask for an aadjournment means something isn't right.

Based on the pics I could not see them in them. I don't have the saints player.

I don't think that is right to be honest as quite a few players are not there. Jos, Puncheon, Mayuka, De Ridder, Gazza, Morgan and Lallana (maybe he was a patient in there) etc. Pretty sure when someone says to you "hey we are going to go see the kids at the hospital to cheer them up" very few have to be contractually ordered to do so....

They were poor. They reminded me of the QPR fans. You can see why it was a 29k attendance as was huge amounts of empty seats in the away end. You would think being quite close they would of sold out their end multiple times. Can't wait to go back to their place! I think their manager has been reading from the Pompey managers handbook. Say your fans are outstanding to hide the fact your doing a bad job!

My American partner and her family all think it is a good idea. Logically you have to compare it to alcohol in the prohibition era. All it did was give rise to crime/gangs/corruption and everybody could freely buy drink anyway... It is the same thing today. If you want to buy it you can get it almost everywhere. It isn't hard to find. Better to legalise it and regulate it. My partners point of view is it will help create more jobs as eventually they will sell it in stores like alcohol and tobacco. And on top of that they will create more income when in a time of recession that is really needed. But most of all if you think about how much money has been spent on trying to prevent it there were far better ways to spend that money. Trying to prevent it never worked and will never work with our cultures. There are naturally going to be health things about using it just as there are about everything else. But I suspect if alcohol was banned and cannabis was legal you wouldn't worry about getting punched in the face by some yob on a saturday night. Plus right now the NHS just seems there to deal with drunk people and their situations at the weekend. The only thing people who are stoned would be going to hospital for would be to raid the food cupboards! I don't smoke but I used to growing up. I'm sure for most people it was the same. I don't see the problem really. Just because it is legal does not mean people will rush out and all do it. Thats not how it is in amsterdam. For those growing up it will be just like alcohol now. There if you want it.

Another way of showing what im trying to say is look at this list here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_attendances_of_European_football_clubs Of the top 11 clubs in Europe in terms of average attendances 7 are German. Dortmund have the highest so is there no surprise that they now seem to be emerging as one of the biggest forces in football? Won the league two years in a row. Look dangerous in the CL. And they have a population of just 500k.... Shalke are a very good model for us to copy as we have very similar cities in terms of populations.

No chance in hell Cortese or whoever is chairman is going to put prices down. It is against our culture. People charge whatever they want and we put up with it. As I mentioned other countries do it differently and they benefit hugely from it. Say for example you got a 40000 seater stadium and you charge £25 for a ticket. But due to the price you can only sell 33k (Everton). Thats £825k a match. Then say you have a 60000 seater stadium and you charge £15 a ticket which is full. Thats 900k a game. More people in the stadium means more drink/merchandise sales which would create more profit. So say just on the games you play 19 at home and each is full that is an additional 75k a game x 19 = £1.425m a season just from league games. If it costs £20m to extend the stadium that would have been recouped in 14 years (based purely on home league games). To think of it another way we could of this season not bought Ramirez and Jay Rod and used that money to upgrade. If we got relegated we would naturally have to decrease ticket prices further. Say in CCC a match cost £10 and we sell 40000 a game that would be £400k a game x 23 games = £9m+ a season. Which is a huge amount for that league. That is obviously just an assumption and I doubt would never happen but if I were in charge I would expand it and make the tickets cheaper.

My personal opinion is that additional 5% would be impossible to fill right now. Especially when we have a no mans land between Northam and Itchen wing. The club could attract many more people to games if the tickets were cheaper. We have amongst the most expensive match tickets in the country. If the highest was £30 and lowest say £15 we would get a lot more people wanting to come to the games. Football as a whole is pricing the average fan out. In England it is a joke how much it costs. We need to follow the German way and build bigger stadiums and cheaper tickets. I stayed in Stuttgart for a few months with work awhile back and going to the game cost me about £7 and that included free travel. Every game was sold out that I went to. In England we seem to have gone the other way where we want to keep things small but charge those who go more. The tickets will continue to go up and up here and that will mean fewer people can afford to go. So it isn't about demand or how many fans we have. We took 45k to Wembley while in league one. That shows we have higher support the 32k. If we had tickets the same as in Germany i.e £10 max then we would easily get another 5000-10000 fans no hassles at all. But we won't do that as it isn't the English way.

Because your trying to imply in the thread we would sell out the dell really quickly as we had the demand while trying to imply that we no longer sell out quickly even though we have to sell an additional 17000 tickets to do so at St Mary's....Basically trying to say the demand is not as high which is wrong.
