Bloody hell, even their ex players can't raise enough subs. -
Cameron - "Multiculturalism has failed"
georgeweahscousin replied to SuperMikey's topic in The Lounge
Having lived a year in Luton, I would say it is abundantly clear that Multiculturalism has failed. -
Straight in the bin? I bet it wasn't a recycling bin either, think of the rainforests! NC is a disgrace etc. etc........

This quote sums it up:- Le Tissier, arguably the Saints’ most famous player, was made to wait for 10 days before being granted tickets for Southampton’s recent FA Cup clash against Manchester United — despite the fact there were many empty seats at St Mary’s during the game. ....because we knew it wouldn't sell out. Gutter press at it's finest.

Rickie Lambert - League One Top Scorer Again?

They all count! -
Now just two behind Wright-Phillips and Mackail-Smith at the top. Not bad for somebody having a "poor season" goals wise!

The refusal to sell a season ticket at Southampton FC

Rubbish. We paid for the added extras. i.e. food, ex players etc. etc. Those didn't of course materialise. -
The refusal to sell a season ticket at Southampton FC

I think it is difficult for fans that didn't go to the Silverspoons event to understand why some fans aren't supporting Mr. Illingsworth in this, so as someone who did attend and felt both ripped off and let down by it I thought I would share it with you.... I bought four tickets for the event, when I purchased them, they came with the promise of food, ex players, many bars, entertainment etc. etc. What we got for our money was a total dump of a nightclub, with one tiny bar(serving overpriced cans that took about an hour to get), not enough toilets(everybody urinating outside), the worlds worst DJ (who even ruined it when the fans tried to get an atmosphere going by overpowering them with the wrong words over the mic). There were no ex players and no food. It was a disgrace in all honesty. A total rip off. I aired my grievances on the facebook page and somebody (I don't remember the name of) said he was a friend of Mr. Illingsworth's and gave me his e-mail address and said he would be happy to respond to any complaints. I worded a polite but highly critical e-mail about the event to the said e-mail address. I didn't ask for a refund, just an explanation as to why certain things were promised, that never happened. I received no reply. I have spoken to quite a few Saints fans who all felt the same as me, and all e-mailed the same address. Not one received a reply. Do I believe the club should revoke somebodies ST without giving them a reason? No. But excuse me if I and many others feel little sympathy and don't buy into the whole "victim" persona. His complaining to the media of not being given a reason is hypocritical as far as I am concerned. Don't ask someone else to do something that you aren't prepared to do yourself. -

I find it difficult to take the "I've been given no reason why from the club", when I haven't been given any reason why, the facilities I was promised when buying a ticket for the Wembley debacle didn't materialise. -

Do the press need someone specific to talk to? Can't stand "self appointed" fans spokesmen. They are the same for every club, and tend to not represent the majority of fans views. Wembley, wasn't about it being crap, it was about it not providing the things it had promised. -
I am sure there is somebody who doesn't go to every game, that could be trusted with it. Even, if they only had admin access during games. I don't go to every game, you would probably need a pool of users, like the contributors, who can let Steve/baj know when they are available to do it, and a rota made. I would be willing to do this as an experiment for the Peterborough game. To see if it helps?
