Justwhen i thought we were getting on.....

Thats the way.

Land command HQ ?

Alpine were you the fan living in Vienna who sent in a e-mail to Radio Hants about his son now being a Liverpool fan as he didnt want to be assosiated with losing.Well he can hold his head up this week.

when are you moving down to Salisbury then? I live in the area now.

How does the point scoring go on that? Ginge was only teasing with his pointscoring, he has a sense of humour you know.

i think I used Churchills expression not the beginning of the end but the end of the beginning in a post about Wotte and our results. It of course the way Alpine has put it either way although after the results I would think my interpretation.

and i thought comedy was dead

Is that a point for me? Attendances will improve when the team gets more points. yes some will stay away until RL is gone and that is their right, but the majority of saints fans go to watch the team and so with an improvement then they will return.Not in 10's of 1000's but they will come back. We now have to keep the level of performance to keep them coming.

Also didnt he watch them when he was a boy?

he was the saviour 'look i have found his shoe, the Holy shoe.' Life of Brian tm

I assume it is 30/0 to me as I cant recall you winning any points.This is an ace by the way 40/0 Will attendances improve or decrease/stay the same. I would have thought it be reasonable to expect them to go up on the new feel good factor, whilst not fact YET i doubt there is anybody who would think they won't or do you think not?

NC i cant agree about JP having the majority votre. I myself and many others I believe went into it understanding it was what the club had to do. I was sceptical but supportive in that I felt and from what I knew we were in a corner trapped like rats and this was the best way out. RL kept Jan too long but he has proved me wrong on this occasion as I was anti the Wotte appointment as I had at that stage heard from people that he was not liked.I then heard how he conducted himself at the first team/staff get together and from then on I realised he had some thing about him.I sensed that he knew team spirit was paramount and he has strived to get that. I had a few cheap shots at me when i let it be known that the camp were united and up for it, but now they have shown it is the fact people have warmed a bit to Wotte. RL is prudent IMO and whilst i would love my club to be very pro active inthe transfer market i understand the need for prudence and so accept we can't

By splitting the sentence and so highlighting the fool part it gave the wrong slant to the meaning of the words i put. Im glad you are much older than me (giggle, all of 6 years) and will also have felt the disappointment of missing out on stadiums when the powers that be kept teasing us.It was also going to be situated by the heliport at one time as well.Im surprised you do not feel as pleased that we have a stadium to be proud of (the team at present is not, but for me it hasnt been since Nichols time) However you want to dress it up RL was part of the reason we got it. Perhaps the wording fool is offensive to some but it normally is warrented when i say it, on this occasion I will unreservedly withdraw it on this occasion. Are you going to state that attendances are not going to increase then?

I may at times think to myself I wish some would go to other sites but dont say it as i think it is good to read others views.I dont like some of which is said but i know the same is in reverse. I come from my own position but find it difficult to understand some who only seem happy in negativity. It is football 22 men kicking a bag of air for a living, it doesnt matter really if you really stand back and think about it.In fact it is ridiculous how we as adults let it get so important. How about we talk about the chairman of ICI and analyise what he has done wrong...not so interesting though is it?

Oh I forgot that because Gingeletiss has said it it must be right. I have put forward my thoughts and stand by them. I dont know how old you are but if you went through the 60-70-80's and listened to a stream of people promising the stadium and all it was came to nothing then perhaps you will understand why i am grateful that te new one was built.i dont know who was the main mover each side has their own version.All I know is RL was on watch when we got it, not LC or even John Corbett. I notice you edited my wording, so I have put it back in full. 'You see if you can't see any good you are a fool, because nobody is all bad and RL has been positive and negative' So dont turn the words and if you are also of the same mind that he has done all wrong you are also a fool. The attendances will rise when results improve whoever is in charge. Are you saying the attendances will fall? I have answred the same old nonsense you put out.Come back with a compelling arguement and i am willing to change, but if it is the same old mantra give your typing fingers a rest.

I dont think it was down to that per say. I myself did not like the way fans were trashing the young players who had due to circumstances were put into the 1st team. They were IMO giving it all and due to lack of experience and some poor tactics not getting the results they deserved. When they needed support and understanding some on this forum only wanted to criticise them.

Staying up will be the acid test.The players out of contract will be offered lower ones IMO if we do avoid the drop. We will have to get some money in from somewhere to keep us going through the summer.Forget not that Saga BWP KD JE wages are paid 365 days a year not just the football season. Fans boycotting the s/t's will help towards somew of these players having to be sold/released. It will pain me if so, but i will do my bit by getting a s/t i just hope the majority see sense and also get theirs. If we go down i dont think there will be a problem as we will go into administration and the best will leave anyway.

RL is not WHOLLY negative to the club. He has done some poor things but also some good things. The good things I'm grateful for the poor things make me want him gone. If we stay up and the performances stay as they are i myself see no reason for him to go. I wanted him gone for keeping Jan too long, if he has rectified that then I can live with it. My support if for SFC and anyone who I deem is trying to hurt it i will take issue with.When RL was going to get GH back i was very much against the man, when he kept Jan I was also. When he helped get the club a new staduium I was pleased with him, Wotte is providing some results im pleased, the financial mire is stabilising a little and so again i'm pleased. You see if you can't see any good you are a fool, because nobody is all bad and RL has been positive and negative. If I thought RL leaving would unite the fans then i would again be right behind it, but at the end of the day the only thing that unites the fans (in the main)is wins and I suspect the attendances will follow whoever is in charge. As i also stated earlier LC was very vocal in saying he woud replace Wotte if he came back, surely that could have been as big a mistake as RL getting rid of NP. But of course that will be glossed over.

Navyred I hope will find it in him to return.he like myself was disgusted how the young lads took the brunt of a lot of unfair criticism.

Kelvin is punching the ball more, perhaps the strength in his wrists are improving

He was spot on about some fans IMO.

might be

I myself have to hold my hand up.I recall when Wotte was announced manager I put up a post saying it'was like swopping the village idiot for Baldrick' I was then told by some friends at the club how things had changed under him and how the morale had lifted. i then got behing Wotte and asked for fans to give him 5 games before judging. So far so good.It is not over but we have a start and a few smiles again.

Fans like 1965 and Alpine are starting to get a little pannicky.There campaign to destabilise the club is coming off the rails and are now looking to try and turn it around in terms of saying what if. May i also point out that LC said if he came back he had a replacement lined up to take Wottes job. That could turn out the same mistake as RL getting rid of NP.
