Don't agree with that at all. Who broke the story of Dickson signing for us weeks before he signed? People are quick to pick them up on speculation ( EVERY paper in the land prints speculation ) doesn't come to fruit but seem to conveniently forget when they get it right.

You don't have to be in the loop to notice that the Echo has been banned from the club, do you?

Alpine. Alot of people still are not computer literate and/or don't have access to the internet and rely on the print version. Do you not understand that? Anyway, that's not the issue, the childishness and pettyness is. But yeah, was stupid of me to post this thread, as no doubt will be hijacked with " so what " and " yawn " etc etc by the super duper internet fans unable to empathise with others.

... and with your location, I wouldn't expect you to be.

None really. Generally speaking, the anti-Cortese stuff has been kept to anti-Cortese threads. If people don't agree then they don't have to read the thread.

Oh my f*cking god. Are you that sheltered/arrogant not to appreciate not everyone ( especially older people ) have internet access or are computer literate? FFS

I would say they most definately ARE banned this season. The 'pictures' from the report are from away pre-season friendly games this season and not from the game itself.

You don't have to support him to support the football club.

Sorry, I might be missing your point?

Just an observation, people had been speculating on whether they would be banned or not, now we have an answer, they have. I didn't even mention his name. It is extremely petty to STILL be banning the Echo when alot of Saints fans, especially the older generation, rely on the Echo print for their Saints-related news.

Seems like the Echo are still banned from the ground judging by their 'report' in todays Echo. All a bit childish really isn't it? Many people rely on the Echo for their Saints related news.

Yep, that seems the way it works. There is no middle ground. The thing is, if people actually could find a middle ground then there is room for both. Cortese has some real positives about his attitude, he is definately focused. I just think the "fame" of being a football club chairman has gone to his head and he needs bringing down a peg or two and winding his neck in.

Everyone that is anti-Cortese has an agenda don't they?

Have an X Reg SRi 150 for sale as Spares or Repairs. Needs a new cylinder head so just going to bit the bullet and get as much as I can for it. 4 months MOT, 2 months tax. What's my best option? Echo? Scrap? Ebay?

StuRomseySaint hasn't posted for weeks.

lol@Dulldays. Funny. P.S - This is non football related and you have posted it on the main board. Maybe you want to practice what you preach if you want people to take your suggestion seriously?

Ahhh ok. Well in that case, I think you hit it pretty spot on.

That might have been sarcasm, but you are probably not far from the truth there...

It won't happen.

Asked the question a week ago and it was reffered to " The Club Spokesman " to give me an answer. Nothing yet...

Who made you forum god, you big gay? Scared of the truth?

What job do I do then? Oh... look, you don't know... Gimp from the midlands selling knock-off gear on ebay and you tell ME i've got a sh!t job?

Will you buy me a pint and say sorry when I am proven right? xx

What if Pardew walked out? Would you blame Pardew or Cortese?

No. I put this to you. People like yourself are jealous you are not in the loop. You do not know where I get my information from, where Hypo gets his from or where FF gets his from, or anyones infact. Even if anyone was to name names and sources, the blind faithful here still wouldn't believe it. The installment plan is a great example. I went away and got conclusive PROOF , first hand, that the administration costs of a plan were minimal, contrary to what the club told me. I was told that the club wouldn't lie and have had 2 months of people making excuses for the club, even though I am the only one on this forum that has put the effort in to find out FACTS regarding the costs etc. So, what I am trying to say, it wouldn't matter if people name their sources etc... you lot still wouldn't believe it, so all there is to do is to sit and wait for the fallout and only then might you realise that some people on this forum DO have access to the inner-circles of the club ( not saying I do by the way ) and respect what they post. FF is most definately well connected and he doesn't post things unless he believes them to be factual, and I don't think he would post anything as FACT! anyway, as Mr Cortese will have a solicitors letter on his doorstep before he can say " holy BA strikes "
