A little bit of irony there, me thinks.
-
I dont have skyplus, and if I did i dont think they would be that keen on me watching the 1970's Big match at 8 o'clock at night. Anyway as I said watching credits made me all sentimenatl.

I myself am sceptical but if he saw that it was a necessity to win some games to keep us afloat and his investment then perhaps.I also wonder that if it was seen that he was paying for Saga fans would jump on him about the whole loaning the players out in the first place.Like i say sceptical but not 100% sure it is not the case.

Well as Im running a business it is not that easy to to sit down and watch the tv at those times. I dont read every thread and although I was at the 1979 fianl and a very good day I had too.As we lost I wasn't that keen to watch.

Wow, can we touch you? The 'Laws of football' dictate that if you don't adhere to them you pay the consequences. Perhaps my wording 'law' was too complicated or I didn't word it so you could understand. Mr Plod doesn't come and arrest you if you don't comply with the leagues rules. They can stop you entering their competition and whilst unlikely it would be stupid to risk and what is the point anyway? If you don't take notice of the planning guidelines( you may dress it up as building control or any other agency you wish, but the fundamentals are that if you don't comply you don't get the permission.) you will have a fight. I myself at present have had to appoint a barrister regarding a dispute with the council regarding prescriptive rights that has gone to the land registry for arbitration, and so incur costs. They can get very costly of course. The case is that the club built the stadium on the information given to them that would make it proceed at its speeediest as well as taking into account the safety issues. Tell us why the club lied or why else they would put such a gap between the pitch and fans? Unemployed Lol

As I put all in my opinion of course

Watched it last night on ITV and thought it was great. Seeing the credits for the Big Match took me back to the 'good old days'

I dont bother with the ignore button as I might miss something intelligent or constructive one day. Wilde would not be here if it wasn't for jokers like you who fell for his talk hook line and sinker.By now a proper alternative would have arrived and RL would have been ousted and our finances may well not have pushed us to this.All opinion of course but the fact is that the day the fans who wanted 'anyone but Lowe' have brought the situation upon us and so we have him back. Yes I accept his financial judgement but that is because i had no faith in the lot that replaced him last time. ps. ity is the very anti Lowes who have to resort to the ignore button as they dont like the truth.
-
There is nothing wrong if feeling that way, i just believe you are totally wrong and we will move on.
-
So the choice is to try and stay up and then avoid administration, or take it now and try and get promoted.Either way is very risky.I myself am happy to try and stay up,and i still think we will.
-
Its OK OSM you keep with the cheap comments. It was fans like you who allowed the Wilde bunch in the first place, who instead of moving the club on have put us in a worse position than when they arrived. You may think you have the moral high ground but you aint And if you really believe that MC is the one to run the club then you are a REALLY bad judge.

I did not look if you were as somebody as careful as you would make sure before putting up such a big wager. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9838&highlight=administration I can't be bothered to find anymore, there are so many threads on it. In this particular one there is a poll, you know the things that people get to vote yes or no on here. Well there were 92 who wanted us to go into admiistration and 162 who didnt . Now that is a large percentage who are members on here who do wish to go into it. As you have asked me to come up with the goods and i have noiw delivered, now answr the question I put to you a couple of weeks back where you didn't answer. Give us a list of all those investors you said that werre out there that Rl was stopping investing.

I can see easter has come early for you as you now can put loads of different emotions up. LM or LC by chance, or were the hearts from a lady at the club?
-
You started it.
-
I agree, but some believe he will be hurt by it.I think he is a wealthy man in his own right and whilst it will hurt he wont lose much money.What it will hurt is his pride and that i believe is more important to him than the money.
-
Richmond saint springs to mind, ...has...been..calling...for ...it for..months. there are others who have put their keeness to go into administration as it will in their minds get rid of RL and think he will lose money.I wont help for me to mention user names as they will get all upset and i dont wish for that.Have you argued in favour of it? I wouldn't be surprised.
-
No your previous opinion was not accurate but badly judged. If you went back to the start of last season he was on many occasions the motm. He was the victim of fans not giving him a fair chance as they listened too much to a load of Sunderland fans who were smarting from a humiliating relegation season.Yes he came with his confidence dented but still made some crucial saves that earnt us lots of points last season.This season he has been appreciated more and that has helped his game even further.DMG will in time also win fans over, and as David in Sweden says lets hope it is our shirt.
-
Well being a dimbo I would have realised that the farm track was existing and not a new build and so the rules put down would be different and so may have won the day.If I was designing a new build and didnt follow the league regulations or the planning departments wishes i may not get a game of football played, foolish of me but there you go.
-
No, but he was a lot of time upfront earlier in the season. I accept that I was wrong about Saga and he has done well but at the same token fans ought to also see that DMG has had a tough time playing up front alone and has done his best to get goals throughout. I think a large section of fans have been very unfair on him, and still can't accept it. Thank god KD had the guts to show all the doubters what they couldn't see, the amount of fans who were pleading to allow Bart to play as he was seen to be our No 1 and i hope DMG will also show fans how bigotted they were in their criticism.

The Devalued Prime Minister of a Devalued Government
OldNick replied to Johnny Bognor's topic in The Lounge
I would suggest that when they left power in 1997 that the rules that the BOE was regulating the industry would not have been taken away like Blair and brown did as soon as they came to power.To let the bankers self regulate was a nonsense. -
The sack of ###t whose goal got us a point at Blackpool and 3 points against Cardiff in the last few weeks.

Staying up would show any persons who the club are in debt to that more income was likely to be coming in.The pot for tv money whilst still small is increasing and also the S/T revenue will of course be higher. Not massive amounts of money but enough perhaps to make them a little more patient.I myself know in business that certain debtors are having trouble paying at present but as long as I have confidence that they will still be here in a years time I will not push so hard. Our CCC survival may well help in that for the club.As soon as it looks lost then the rug may well be pulled. Only IMO of course, I drad the day i hear that we have gone onto administration and the people who are gagging for it as a quick fix will see what a long term disaster it will be.It will be the death knell of us ever getting ack into the big time i believe.

Do you really think that we are talking about an incident being little Tommy has fallen over and scratched his arm. If you are an architect and asked to draw up plans for a large public facility i will queue to have look it, Im sure it will be very educational. I can imagine the planners when you tell them 'Dont worry about evacuation of the injured as the league rules mean nothing and as for your health and safety , forget them they know nothing.' We will form a queue of fans with buckets to quell any fire, the injured will be passed over the heads of the crowd and my mate Bob once was a cleaner at the St Johns ambulance brigade and still has a roll of bandages in his locker.' 'But Mr Victor remember the Valley Parade disaster where the emergency services couldnt get in.' 'Oh stuff and nonsense,the fans just weren't as stoic as they at SMS. if they are right up to the pitch it is less far to chuck them for the blankets that are used as stretchers will come into play.' 'but what about the league regulations that say the pitch is not to be any closer than 2.25m on new stadia and if we don't adhere to the rules we may well not be allowed to enter the league.' 'Won't happen we are SFC nobody would dare ban us.' Of course it is not how you would put it but if you really think a game of football would carry on when an ambulance is required to get to an incident I'd be amazed. The stands were built as they were for good reason, and the club as far as Im still aware did not lie.

MC has told you that there is investment if RL is not there. So why wasnt there any under her time in the last 2 decades? Why didnt it appear when RL had been deposed? Forget not that the Wilde bunch came in on the back of all the investors they had lined up. The SISU deal as far as Im aware did not go ahead because they would not answer questions put to them by RL LC and MW.
