TopGun, Ford have said (recently) that the proposals are to go on one shift and build only chassis cabs. The current economic climate has forced this latest move on Ford. What niggles me is the volume, 35,000 per year, that Ford were quoting for chassis cab production. I am told by insiders that Southampton & Kocaeli have not built 35,00 per year for at least 5 years! If this is right then there's a problem in the counting house! Sad news all round, just awaiting the silly comments now, like on the Echo site.

I would too, it's just the right weather in September to do that sort of thing.

By that do you actually mean to go down to Plymouth and sample the Ho?

My hunch, no accusations, no evidence, just a gut feeling and, while sailing close to the wind, all probably above board and highly legit. Lowe and Wilde come back. In tow, and unbeknown to us, they have a consortium who are ready, willing and able. BUT they need to pay bottom dollar for whatever reason. So Lowe and Wilde, whilst doing their very best, happen to get to the stage where the club is placed in administration. Out from the shadows steps a consortium (fronted by RL and MW) who successfully negotiate control of the club, wiping all the overdraft and other lesser borrowings off (leaving only the stadium mortgage, which is amply provided for in the negotiations between the consortium, Aviva and the O.R.). Not only this but they can provide ample funds for a concerted push for promotion from L1 (despite any points deduction). Now, in all that we must remember that ALL the shareholders lost their holdings. However, in their first released trading figures, a year or so later, the consortium reveals that RL and MW received, over and above their salary, a 'brokerage fee' that is at least equal to the value of their lost shareholdings and is paid, tax free, in whatever way they use to describe it. As this is a hunch, and I am certainly no financial or legal whizz kid, I have to ask, is this possible?

Aaaaah faarkit! I succumbed!

Tim, I don't even need to click on the link mate. The way Saints are going I'm gonna be living in a bottle!

He's already had the bullsh!t injection.

Away, as in Her Majesty's Pleasure? Just wondering!

Doesn't time fly when you're enjoying yourself . .

Does that avatar say hatch or beatch? (If you get my drift?)

Yep! One hillock and the rest has been boll . . .

Mail sent, with great and pleasurable memories of the greatest centre forward that the world has ever seen.

No need for lights if the SEB have cut us off!

The players are going to have to get used to the wide open spaces if this season pans out the way I fear it will.

Slightly off topic, love your avatar, have you had it approved by 19ranteensomedunce yet?

Mobile phone network?

Just checked and I am at work that day so I can't contribute in any of the proposed ways. I'd probably go for the march away though as it's getting close now to the point of no return with these numpties in charge.

You're right, a demo outside reception does little. They pull the curtains and hey presto! We're not there!

Don't we all think that? Welcome back Stuey! :smt054

G'night Jon boy.

Both are admirable sentiments, but it can happen to a club our size (and bigger - Leeds) and we're not good enough to stay up so I reckon that makes us prime for Admin or worse. And if it happens? I couldn't see myself going to watch some diluted, regurgitated version of a team I have loved for 45 years. That love would die with the club. I would, if any, watch my local team Eastleigh.

Expected, totally and utterly expected.

Reports of 5,000 shares sold @17p each. How much were those badges Duncan?

To sell something you need to have buyers. To get buyers your product must be sensibly priced and of merchantable value (fit for purpose).

Bee-hive you naughty boy! Much lolage in the Marlands today then? Will 19Ranteenburntduncebreast be on here remonstrating with us later? Remember not to tie him up too much in his discussions as he can't afford the fiver to post more than three times a day.
