This. But she did say "IF the conditions were right". I took this to mean "if Alex gets a massive salary increase that matches any offer he might get from a Prem team".

We all would have seen the trophy being presented but for 1,000's of mongs invading the pitch at full-time. (;

You are all barking. Make of that what you will.

this!!!

Absolutely top post and echoes my thoughts too. I've really enjoyed L1 actually. OK, some of the football has been a bit pants at times and some of the officials are terrible, but overall the games have been exciting and I've been going along expecting my team to win. It has been great to see a genuine spirit among the players and indeed among the fans. Looking ahead just a little bit, one thing that I will be enjoying is seeing a Manager finish a season on a high, be able to confidently add to his squad and start the next season with a full pre-season of settled players under his wing. In other words, we are for once giving ourselves the best chance to start next season on a high. One last thing to say. I have no sympathy with any JCL who suddenly comes back to Saints because we're now upwardly mobile and who now cannot get a ticket for upcoming NPC games. All the ST holders particularly that have stuck with the club through the dark times will rightly reap the rewards as Saints go marching on.

Brave people - hope you're not wearing colours! If we win and effectively send them down, it could get ugly for any Saints fans celebrating in the away section.

The playing surface will be relaid over the summer I think (happens most seasons I believe) and I doubt it's condition will affect Sundays game. Having said that, while I understand the party spirit will be among us all, I really don't think running on the pitch is a particularly good idea. Would rather see the players with their families on the pitch doing a lap of honour - they bloody well deserve it.

I think that Hammond or Schneiderlin with Chaplow is a good combo. Not so Hammond and Schneiderlin - the goals dry up and we're very one dimensional.

Think we will hit a consolidation point next season again - top 10...possibly play-offs, but all depends on the quality of the incoming summer signings and the decisions about who's out the door. Tricky stuff to keep squad spirits high whilst losing deadwood.

West Ham really - others I couldn't give a rats @rse about.

Bloody hooligan youth - keep off the damn pitch and let the law abiding supporters of this superb football club enjoy the proud march of the players and their families around the pitch. pmsl.

£395 would be acceptable - that would represent an over 10% increase which is somewhat higher than inflation ATM.

A win - hopefully by a massive margin just to nail home the certainty that we ARE the best team in L1 and on the South coast, but glad just to win. I want us to go up auto regardless of GD. It's going to be a great day whatever the score - we are going up, we are going up!

Definately Bournemouth. Limited funds would mean less strengthening. There's a couple of players in the other teams that might fancy the step-up if they lose out on promotion (e.g. Pilkington, CMS).

Is it me, or does that sound so wrong?!

Mackail-Smith. Brown from Pimpley. Pilkington. These for starters would be awesome signings. Don't think Nigel will be wanting to sign too many as otherwise team spirit might be tarnished.

Fantastic work Mike - thanks. Have the club contributed yet or have they suggested they will?

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.
