I didnt go for the drink, I also didnt know that they were advertising 3 pints for a £1. Why we went there was that we had 3 youngsters late teens early 20's who did not have tickets. So the plan was for them to sup up the atmosphere in a great environment. When we went to the Millenium (Cardiff is a bit of a pit) lots of fans without tickets went into the pubs and enjoyed the day from there. No reason to believe as this gig was promoted that this would not be the same. It was a massive disappointment that it was so disgusting , filthy and third world. It is ok to say 'London is crammed with decent pubs' not having frequenting them around wembley before and also seeing that it was a Saints only event I felt more comfortable leaving the 2 young ladies and a lad there. We were able to find 3 tickets so they got into the match (But yet again greedy saints fans made us pay above the odds for the privilage, except Hemel Saints group)

as far as I understand it, is that it is impossible for him not to pay the wages as he is liable. If he can see he not able to fulfill that commitment he has to wind the club up.I dont think that is at all likely to happen yet

Yep, you should go and avoid going out ot any clubs if you have to pay. Enjoy yourself

I agree that it seems that it may be a fight to the death. Ifr BA are prepared to rent other aircraft for a cost of 5m a day then they are going for broke (poor term perhaps) I have not yet seen any good reason why BA staff should get more pay and perks than any of their competitors. if the staff are so good they will walk into jobs at any other airline.......

Ive just been reading the comments on the UI. The last comment on there that Silverspoons is a Yardies club, would not surprise me one bit.I doubt that NI or COYR will get a penny back from the owners of that place. I think it would be best if they came out and gave us a run down of the costs, that would at least show us that the fans have not ripped their own off. It was put that it was sold ut and so 20k in ticket sales. Please tell what the costs were

To be fair they made it sound good. I have never been to a NI event before and so was not expecting the totally naff place it was. The Echo should feel a tad aggrieved that they were part of promoting this disaster. I wonder if NI will put any comments about it.

really good show, and Jonathan Pearce has gone up in my estimation

thanks

I was told, (not sure if it is true)that the BA staffs contracts were from 1947. If true then how can that be correct for 2010? I understand why they want to keep their perks, but they should understand if they want the company to be there in 10 or 20 years time they have ot make the changes. IMO they have little support from the public as a whole. They have taken the wrong route and sadly the union leaders always come across as militant uncouth oafs, who only seem to be able to bully.

Are you the one who hung the flag up? If so I asked you what TOSSA and Coleslaw meant

reading that makes me sick. If food was on sale (I didnt see any, but I left at about 11)I think it would have been pretty risky to try any, after seeing the toilets and state of the place. I had given NI the benifit of the dubt that he hadn't known the state of the place.As he had been there before i feel fairly cheesed off with him. I await a response from him.

good one

Good, I have not seen any post on this thread or any other defending the venue or its promotion. As for the loos, the floors were deep in fluid, my best hope was that it was water

Trousers, for the return of £60 (6 tickets)I dont think I'll bother. Sadly, if as I have read that NI had indeed been to the premises it saddens me.Foolishly I and a lot of others fell for the stuff in the Echo and on the COYR website.Having a well known fully fledged and committed Saints fan, who I believe is always well intentioned, involved in this gave me confidence. We left at 7am to get there for its advertised opening 9am. On arrival our hearts sunk. 20k for that!!! now I know renting places in London is expensive but even Peter storrie could not fall for that fee.

BBC doing what they did when we close to going into oblivion, talking about a missing cat that time

Labour deserve to inherit the mess they have caused. Sadly the country is badly damaged and we have nobody in any political party who has the ****** to grab the nettle

better than South Today who havent even mentioned it yet. No Dinage on Meridian who did a decent feature to be fair

To be fair if I and others had any idea it would be like it is they would not sell any tickets. Personally I felt that the way it was advertised, it looked a good place to start the day off. I can only assume that NI had not seen the venue, if not then Im sure the damage it does to him is more than earning himself a few grand.

I voted Harding as MotM as he was up against thier best player. Fonte was superb and then the whole team did well. The first 10 minutes we looked edgy and Carlisle most likely to score, but a superb cross from Antonio and we got the penalty. From there we were comfortable, but i did not like the way we played after our fourth. Sitting back instead or giving us more excitement. I found the last 30 minutes an anti climax. Great day and as per normal with these things a lot of my memories will be the journey up, seeing all the cars decked out in colours, and Fleet being full of happy saints.Forgetting the Silverspoon everything else was superb. A word for the Carlisle fans, i thought they were a good bunch and only let themselves down by leaving and not watching the presentation ceremony etc.

I found them offputting, especially in the first half

those are good

the bit in the Echo had us thinking it was a top event. We went up with my daughter nepthew and niece who hadn't tickets. Telling them that it would be good and that they could stay there and watch the game with other fans who alos didnt have tickets. There was no way I was leaving them there, and so we went and got them some tickets from fans. Thanks to the fan in the club who came and offered us a ticket at face value (i think he was from Watford way) but not so happy with the so called Saints fan who sold my brother 2 at £50 each (face value £34) as they ought to get something for their trouble after initially wanting £100 a pop. I would have let them keep them and see them lose their money.

Please call me Avram when you are replying thankyou

Oh no not another player gone from my team. I only ask for the game to be settled on the pitch, a level playing field and no interference from outside. I want the football authorities to help me best as I can. Can you loan me your best midfielder, I promise he won't score
