Sorry Nick but that is ********! This young lad Connor has had the balls to take on something that he didnt start and carry it on, and has done well. No one is relying on a 16 yrd old at all! Forget his age, because to be honest that has **** all to do with it, if I had organised the march at an age of 37 would the abuse, insults still be coming? NO is my answer, people seem to be using his age as their main point and personally I think it quite sad because they cant throw anything else at him. For Wotte to sat "some young people" well thats pure ignorance just like our beloved Chairman!

Ill tell you why players have not come out publically, and that is becuase they do not want to rock the boat. I have spoken to several ex players recently about it, and they have all admit they have got a nicey nice approach with the club conerning tickets, and hospitality. Have you noticed the ones that have come out have not said anything against the current board and have politley skipped passed the issues. Im afraid your right there Trousers. Saints to be fair is just an other employer to these players and a chapter in their life, once gone many dont really care. Of course if you ask them about it they will say what a shame blah blah but deep down it doesnt count

Protest stage 2: February 21st, meeting at bargate again.
exit2 replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
I did like the idea of a march away but, you will never get the numbers to support it Im afraid. The fact is that some people cannot stop going to football, me included. I still think a mass sit in at the end of a game is quite good as done at the Dell against Newcastle etc, then move it outside -
A few of the larger HDD's now do not appear as a drive letter as mass storage. The thing to do is right click the my computer icon, goto manage and then goto Disk Management. The drive should appear there, all you need to do then is mark as active and create a logical drive or extended drive depending on your requirements. Once that has been done just format it and away you go. Hope this helps, let me know.

http://www.abqjournal.com/sports/0701726sports02-07-09.htm Ex-English Star Parked in Duke City Mobile Home Park By Toby Smith Journal Staff Writer The gawky man is standing amid a seen-better-days East Central Avenue mobile home park. "Have a throw, mate," the man calls to a reporter who is about 10 feet away, holding a soccer ball. The reporter underhands a gentle toss, about nose high. As the ball approaches, the man leans forward and, bending slightly, meets it with his forehead. With a whomping sound, the ball comes back at five times the speed it went out. "Again," the man says. Once more the ball returns hard and straight as a string. Then a third and a fourth time. Each one stings the reporter's hands. "Like snapping your wrist," the man says indicating the movement of his head and neck. The reporter long believed headers in soccer meant taking balls anywhere on the skull. "Not if you're a striker," says the man, who was. "The ball goes right here." He points to a spot just above his beetlelike brows. It's got to help, the reporter muses, to have a strong neck, which the man clearly does. "Never be able to hang meself," he says laughing. "Just be dangling, alive." The neck, the head, the snap. All combined to make the man a marvel, first in soccer-mad England, then later in the United States, during the dawn of pro soccer here. Once upon a time Ron Davies drove a Jaguar, employed a maid and signed autographs until his fingers hurt. Now 66, Davies owns no car, lives in an aging RV with his wife and two cats, and it's his hip that pains him these days. Neither Davies nor his wife, Chris, work, though each take pains to point out that their life is not of want. Davies gets Social Secuity from the U.S. and England and his wife says she has a small pension. They choose to reside in a 40-foot Winnebago, in a scruffy trailer park because, they say, they like the place and have friends here. And besides, they add, if only to bring more confusion, they're not going to stay here forever. They settled in Albuquerque five years ago. Ron Davies did some construction work until his hips started killing him — arthritis from soccer, he says. Last year he had a hip replaced in Albuquerque and he'll have the other done this month. The surgeries, Davies says, were paid by an indigent health insurance offered by UNMH. "Your country," he tells the reporter, "takes lovely care of its elderly.'' Tucked away inside the RV lie some yellowed clippings. The items are the only evidence of his prowess — until you get him outside to head a soccer ball toward a pretend goal. Playing striker, chiefly for the Southampton Football Club, in Great Britain's highest division, Davies scored a remarkable 153 goals in 277 appearances, from 1966-1973. By comparison, think of a baseball player hitting a home run in nearly every other game for eight years. Which is one reason why some comparisons make no sense. Thus, think of Davies' stats this way: He did it sans sterioids. "Just me feet and head." Ah, that cranium. More than half his goals, he says, came off his noggin. "I would be at the post," he remembers. "We had wingers could split a sixpence on a cross. I could hang in the air like your Michael Jordan ." Whomp. G-O-A-LLLLLLL! Being tall helped. He was 6-foot-1, rare for a Welshman. "The Welsh are small, miserable people," he says laughing. "Big Ron," the fans called him. He drove the Southhampton faithful crackers. "Give it to Ron!'' they chanted, a refrain 40 years later that is recalled fondly along England's southern coast. Indeed, Southampton supporters recently raised almost $10,000 for Big Ron to get some needed dental care. The height of his career came on an August afternoon in 1969, in a match that is still talked of in breathless tones. Southampton traveled upland that day, to face mighty Manchester United, the New York Yankees of soccerdom. "They had won the European Championships the year before," Davies says. "I think they took us too bloody lightly." The result? A stunning blowout: Southampton 4, United 1. More astonishing was that Ron Davies scored all four of his club's goals. Using a baseball comparison again, his is a feat far greater than hitting four home runs in a game. Simply, goals are rare as unicorns in a match at that level, particularly if they come against powerful Man U and their then-superstar, George Best. Davies left Southampton in 1974 in a trade with United, but that stay ended quickly. Injuries had already set in. He played for smaller clubs in England and then in South Africa. In 1977, on George Best's recommendation, Davies came to the United States, to compete in the new North American Soccer League, for the Los Angeles Aztecs. He played in L.A. for three years, then in Tulsa and Seattle for a year. By 1980, he was out of the game and coaching high school soccer and tutoring kids on the side. He'd like to coach privately in Albuquerque, after his hip surgery. "If a child has no talent, I'll tell the parents so straightaway. Only way to do it." He should be coaching, says Pete Clinch, a Brit who played back home and has coached elite players in Albuquerque for 30 years. "He is truly one of the prolific goal scorers." Davies met his wife in 1981, in a suburban Los Angeles bar. "I didn't understand a thing he said," Chris Davies says. Nor did she understand soccer. But she liked this Welshman with the funny accent. "He made me laugh, he joked about everything. If I came from a beauty parlor with my hair curly, he said, 'Sorry you got electrocuted.'" They have spent 24 years together, bouncing about the country. When asked about the couple, Stefan Klimaj, an RV neighbor who runs errands for the Davieses, shrugs and says, "They're like lots of others. They do what they can." But mostly they do it unrecognized, unnoticed. That is until Big Ron Davies hits a soccer ball with his head toward a goal that does not exist.

Me and Missus just watched that and have to say what great memories that brought back. Looking at some of the players there, Matty, Pahars, Beattie, Mazza, Wise, Kev Davies, Kachoul, Walcott, Oakley ...................where did it all go wrong But thanks for the link, made me smile and Im afraid Saints doesnt do that for me at the moment

I'll but in on this one. I made contact with Wilde on behalf of the trust on the evening he brought his first load of shares. From that conversation we arranged several meetings and to be fair everything he said sounded great. His vision, what he wanted, the guys he had lined up (although we didnt know their names) So everything sounded good. I know others had spoken to Mary Corbett who also felt he was the right man to lead things forward. So when you say credentials what did mean? Are you after anything specific

Going on averages......... we have got just over 1 point per game, so on that form we should get 17 points over the rest of the season. That will give us 45 points.........on past years 2007 - 2008 Leicester City went down on 52 points 2006 - 2007 45 Would be down as Hull finished 21st with 49 2005 - 2006 45 Would be down as QPR fininshed 21st with 50 2004 -2005 Would be down Gillingham went down with 50 2003 -2004 Walsall went down with 51 I think we need 25 points for survival and that we aint gonna get!

The only person who said they had a credible source was the guy started the thread. We all know the rules with "itk's" on here. They say something that doesnt come off and they are full of ****e and get abused. The ones that come off / are correct get forgotten about

Am I right in thinking in 1978, we tonked Watford at the Dell in league cup, we then went back there for the second leg and lost i think 5-1 and then lost in extra time?

We did this against Newcastle when protesting against Branfoot / Askham. Made one hell of an impact especially as near enough all of the under eaststand and Milton stayed there for about an hour
