+1. You'd have thought, seeing as we have watched Saints in all three top divisions in the last few years, that people would realise the difference in quality between someone who does quite well in League 1, and someone who has done well at international level.

Absolutely.

Haha brilliant. Pretty funny that he repeatedly pointed out that these things were done 'in the privacy of their own bedrooms'. Sort of makes his whole presentation a bit redundant.

I'll be pretty pleased if Calderon is the first signing of the summer. He looks a decent prospect and that'd more or less be our starting back four sorted.

When you say you've got them, have you actually physically got them, and if so, what are they like? Getting mine soon btw.

It's just ridiculous. There's no way I can get a credit card, I'm a 20 year old student FFS. I will beg steal and borrow until I've scraped together enough money, but I'm not happy about it.

The more I think about it, the more stupid it looks. Say if you're a couple or father and adult son who already have a season ticket in the Kingsland. You now have a month to find £786 if you want to get the early prices. To some people that might be no problem, but to a vast amount of people that is a huge chunk of their monthly income that they just will not be able to spare all at once.

Yeah it is 17-20, and I agree that up to 25 is young really. I'm 21 in October so this will be my last chance to get the young adult discount. That's if I can find the money to pay it all at once.

that one's cool but obviously fake.

I think this will lose potentially a couple of thousand people.

Gone up £30 for me but still a pretty good price. Lack of the instalment plan will lose a lot of customers though I'd expect. It's all very well to suggest people could save up but some people have been unable to for various reasons.

I was thinking while watching the dire England game yesterday that I'd love to see us sign someone from Japan or Korea.

haha please tell me you're joking! That's utterly ridiculous. I know you have to rely on the reports of people on here as you can't get to many games but come on...

Yes!

IIRC, David Luker had already drawn up the season ticket prices last season, before the takeover happened.

Nice win! Wish I had that much money to risk!

£3.30 for a pint of Pride is ridiculous! You can get one for £2.50 on the strand in central London. There are a few traditional pubs left- usually the real ale ones- but so many are chain owned these days. Agree that Wetherspoons can be very good and is certainly good value for money, although they vary quite a bit in each one.

That's handy because I'm about to embark on a pub crawl across the east end of London. I may just about be sober by the tournament.

Interesting!

Train just went past 'Paine Funeral Home' which is mildly amusing somehow.

Where there's food and alcohol, I'm there!

This story also got a whole page in yesterday's evening standard. Funnily enough, on the opposite page it stated how Joe Cole had impressed Capello in training, despite missing 4 penalties.

I've voted twice now. If everyone votes once he'll win no problem.

Bump! Let's get voting for RLSGM!
