I agree, I was 1 who championed his signing and I know he loves it here but finance must play a part in his omission.May Iadd he has been less than clinical when he has played. The lack of games is not always a good excuse if you are a goalscorer.

I can see both sides of the debate , surely you must realise we'd all love the 'star' players turning out for us but needs must and a club losing so much money has little if any room to manouvere. One of those players back in the team may be beyond our budget.

but Arizona the question is about scoring goals and all due respect Saga did not do so under NP

A friend knows a fringe player who plays for Luton. If he gets on the pitch even if it is for a couple of minutes he gets £500, can you imagine what our much valued high earners would be on apearance money.

has the club got a picture of you then

Yorkie, that is sad, i dont understand your position as you have supported us for years and to let politics deprive you of your pastime. When did you decide not to go under RL?

what is the saying about trying to play an organ in a cathedral

Im glad they have given it back to LM and that it was not disrespected. I have always wished that there was some suite etc named after him but it is all internal politics and it is obvious RL and Lm dont get on.We have to accept it is the biardroom and I doubt if any of us would ever have know it was there or had the opportunity to see it anyway.

Thanks for that Um, he made my blood boil and to be fair to LM he really made him look the p#### he was

All ive heard about Jan is that he is a great bloke and very down to earth. I understand StM being cynical but I doubt RL would wish for the club to pay overtime for his staff to go and converse with the 'flatcaps'

well we do like to celebrate things with style. The Adams family were out in force last night.

No problem at all. It sounds quite relaxing.

I think it is conveinient as the club like all other retailers are hurting.they would have had to cut prices anyway and so this may take up some of that cut.

I will refrain from sniping back on your first childish response. I do not support everything Rl does and says. I just look at it how I feel. I have been going since 1968 in that long period i had my hopes raised on many occasions about getting a stadium. Under, some what seem great chairman, they never came up with the goods in fact they held us back when LM was doing wonderful things and we could well have won the league had they stumped up for Trevor Francis in the season we finished 2nd. RL was our chairman when by hook or by crook (I dont care who) he got it done. It matters not 1 iota to me who put what where,but he at least signed it off with whoever. Yes Stoneham may have been good but if the running track was inside the stadium, which for cost it probably would be, that would have made a difference to my pastime as the pitch would be father away and the atmosphere lessened. I dont go ten pin bowling and don't see why other sports should be levered into a bigger sports facilities. The shopping aspect I would have stomached as i would see that as being something that the profits/rents would have made the club healthier. As for stomping away, well perhaps they did i suspect dealing with a load of Liberals who didnt know international cricket was going to be played at the Rose bowl that they didnt object to. They couldnt see that it would have made a big difference to Eastleigh in regeneration and have shopping centres that people might actually want to visit. Tell me how much better Eastleigh is now compared to then and I will say it has gone backwards as a centre and the residents have lost out, mainly due to a few who scared them by telling thewm that football thugs would be running through their streets. I put on here as i see it and would listen if the opposing people understood that just because people understand some of what RL does that it doesnt mean we love him.

He's done well to have 22 orders to be cancelled. If the deals are definately still going to be signed next week surely the bank could support him, or they are worried about the health of his business.

It is no good Le god many do not understand the useless idea this cosmetic vat deduction is.

lol

I noted when I went and watched a basketball game in the states that with the ticket you got a pizza and a coke. How about the club giving vouchers for kids to have a yorkie and coke etc in the family section.That may bring a few parents out with their kids but also help them with the cost of taking a kid to a game.(I would point out this is not of self interest)

no he didnt, but it was answering to a poster saying you were unlucky not to win, when in fact you were lucky not to lose. The referee gave the free kick and so you should stop whining about that if it is a case of actual happenings.

Good that you are back.

Alittle unlucky!!!! Inzaghi should have scored 2 in the first half

was the call from the Fratton End and yes i was and had a good laugh in injury time.

its a nonsense anyway, stores including the club shop will drop prices due to neccessity more than 2.5% and still will have trouble selling.

Well if it meant us to have a running track around the stadium Im glad we didnt get it.Would the club have owned those facilities or was EBC going to have those costs. Wes I respect that you know far more than I do on this subject and I dont know who we should tham for the stadium, but I do know that since the 60's I had seen the promoise of a stadium time and again come to nothing.Under RL the stadium was delivered and so he must have some credit as SCC does as well. I do not see a problem though him trying to be shrewd and get the best deal.

BTF I agree and I was not aiming it at yourself or any other poster but Hacienda has lowered his comments to me on this thread and so I thought he needed a bit back. i try and be restrained but I will not sit and take abuse and then not answer back.
