Saint Fan CaM

The whole day, the whole experience. It's going to be immense!

Skates, Arsebandits, West Ham, Palarse and Reading.

It was great to see the likes of Barnard on the pitch celebrating with the rest of the team. Didn't see Chamberlain though.

Is your ticket for sale then St. Neil?

Would be very interested Armitage - trying to find out how to PM you without luck at the moment?!?

Will start on Saturday by coming on here and chat b0ll0x for a little while over a cuppa. Leave for SMS at 1.30-ish and park up in Woolston, then catch bus over bridge. Get to Chapel Arms where I'll have a pint or two to soak up the atmos. Pick-up a cheeseburger on way down to Stadium. Watch match - choke back the tears when the Markus chants start and at the final whistle when the place erupts. Leave ground and walk back over the bridge happy as Larry. Drive home - load up music gear and travel over to Roddington Forge to perform with my band for the evening (and have a couple more pints). (I'll probably mention Saints promotion over the PA, but it will undoubetly fall on deaf ears).

I hope Bompey go up in the play-offs and we all stuff Pimpley good and proper. (:

As usual the travelling supporters sounded fantastic - as though Home Park was the new SMS! Well done - wish I could have been there.

Can I be the first on this thread to suggest a 2nd statue outside SMS of Markus is an absolute must. Or at least something named after the great man like a stand or something? This summer is the time for the club to really do something permanent at SMS to celebrate what Markus did for us all - he didn't spend many years with the club like Ted did - he never got that opportunity bless him - but he did invest his time and money to make the lives of all Saints supporters (and the City of Southampton in general) so much richer. March on Saints for Markus!

Brilliant!

Solent just said NC is on the field with the players at Home Park celebrating - now that's great to hear...he'd rather be with Nigel and the boys than being in the boardroom. Mind you, I bet the sandwiches are not much to speak about with their budget! (;

Well done Nigel Adkins. It will be interesting to see how you cope in the NPC - I truly hope you are able to stay right the way through the journey and seal a place in Saints hall of legends. We'll be right behind you - I hope NC and the family are too.

Yep - I was confused about the decision to fire Pardew and unsure about Adkins appointment, but always sure of Nicola's right to make those decisions because he saved us by bringing the club to Markus' attention and then agreeing to sort the mess out that Lowe left. Everything is coming together nicely at all levels of the club - I just hope that Nicola recognises the contribution the long standing ST holders have made - I really don't want to be shafted with stupid pricing just because we're climbing back up the leagues.

Connolly hits the woodwork from 40 yards out!

Morgan back onto the field of play. Great news all round. Lallana has run his socks off today - fantastic player.

Anyone else feel like this is a bit of a surreal moment? Saints not scrapping for relegation - not scrapping to get into the play-offs - not holding on for dear-life. It's just not Saints! We are renewed...this really feels like the re-birth of our great football club!

Come you Saints .... 0-2 up and coasting into the Championship! Pity the service on this forum is so damn poor. Can't even get the 2nd half thread open in time/atall!

What the hell is the matter with this forum? Rubbish.

I hope the old bill is out in force around the pitch to stop the mongs from going on the pitch at the end. Really don't want to see Saints name dragged through the mud and don't want to see Plymouth fans faces rubbed in it...they might not have a club left to support.

45 minutes away from the Championship...this is it!

Come on Kelvin...don't let us down here....

****ing yeeeeessss!!!!!b get in you beauty!!!!!

Sounds like we're sticking to the game plan....wear them down and they'll tire.

Corner Saints - here we go.

Amazingly the server is pants and yet only 24 odd posts?!?!?
