Yeah I've just got myself a new credit card to buy mine on. Back in the Rupert Lowe days we had to pay for season tickets in March, and we constantly sold our best players so had no idea what team would show up next season. So I'm fairly blase about the whole thing. Whatever will be will be.

Wanyama could easily be a £20-£30m player in a couple of years. I think he's got more potential than Morgan (who is also a bloody good player, don't get me wrong).

Think people are misunderstanding the point the OP is making. In 2003 / 2004 our average crowd was 31,717. This year our highest crowd was 31,659. So despite having quite a few 'sold out' games, none of them even got to our average attendance ten years ago. Yesterday was a sell out, but is was 1,000 less than our record attendance. That's a big difference, they must be counting differently these days.

With the amount of pointing to the badge on his chest he was doing when he walked round the pitch yesterday, it didn't really look like the actions of someone who's about to leave. Regarding joining Liverpool, I think I'd wait to see what happens to Suarez before joining them. Without him this season they'd have been 4 or 5 places lower in the table. If he goes to Madrid, coupled with the extra Champions League matches, they may well have peaked already.

Les Reed was strongly against the idea when they spoke to him at the awards night on Tuesday. He couldn't see how it would benefit our players. It's a stupid idea, it may work in other countries but few countries have such a strong lower league setup as England. Some of the top flight clubs in Spain don't get crowds of much more than 10k, so I imagine lower than that it's 5 men and their dogs.

I actually like that Leverkusen one, it's a lot better than our current shirt. Personally think the Milan kit looks awful. I know everyone seems to hate the kit we have at the minute (I'm not too keen myself), but I do see an awful lot of them out and about. Bearing in mind I live in Fareham, it's the most common kit at the football training my son attends in Stubbington.

That's not exactly gossip is it. They clearly rate Chambers above Clyne, it's been evident all season.

This isn't shops though is it? It's restaurants, a cinema and maybe a bowling alley. If it's true that Odeon want to move out of Leisure World to this site, I'd have thought people would be happy with this idea. The entire West Quay site then becomes something along similar lines to Gunwharf, but bigger and with proper shops instead of outlet stores. As usual when something like this is discussed, you seem to talk as if it's the council investing and doing the work. I don't imagine SCC have £70m knocking around to invest in vanity projects. If they did, then maybe they should reduce council tax instead?

Marrow.

Why do they need a 3rd kit? Surely a club with the community at heart should be able to come up with a home and away kit to cover all clashes. 3rd kits are just a scheme to milk fans of money.

Is/was Terry Crump a teacher by any chance? I had a teacher in Horndean by that name.

There was a mother's day special in hospitality. Tea and cakes (and pink sparkling wine) rather than a full meal, for £95. You could have a private box if there were more than 6 of you.

That may have been the case in the past, but nowadays 90% of the budget gets leaked ahead of time.

I don't understand the assumption that safe standing areas would have lower prices. Capacity remains the same under the safe standing model, but clubs have to make an investment in order to install it. I could actually see them charging more for the privilege.

To be fair he wrote it in the singular.

Are we still planning to bring in a CEO?

Recently moved to the Fareham area, and need somewhere local to watch televised matches. Any suggestions, or do I need to head further west?

I preferred this story when it was in the other thread.

I see Everton are going back to Umbro next season and getting a bespoke kit. Thought Umbro were only doing teamwear kits nowadays?

I'm guessing people know that he was linked to the Real Madrid job before he even came to us? He's very highly regarded in Spain, definitely not the failure that some seem to think. His time at Saints will have only strengthened that reputation. I wouldn't be surprised at all if his next job after us is at one of the big European clubs.

Never sure how that dropped points thing works. On Tuesday did both us and Arsenal drop 2 points? Both teams were leading at one point after all?

I actually think now would be a great time to bring players in. Have half a season to ease new players in, getting them used to our style, then come roaring out of the blocks next season.

Agreed. So Brown won the ball. By that reasoning Gaston subsequently won it back before Brown clattered into him. Should have been a foul and a red card.

Do you have to have one adult for each child? Trying to buy online, one adult one senior and three under 11s but it won't let me. Seems a bit stupid, what happens if a dad wants to take his two children?
