Of course, where are my points. 5 will take me above Forest

I doubt that more than 250, may be 500 if I am generous, are staying away purely because of the Lowe/Wilde alliance. I would suggest the majority of last seasons "regulars" simply got fed up with the last few seasons crap and with mainly young, untried players at this level coming in could not see any chance of an improvement. Coupled with the economic crisis hitting most of our pockets and £26 to £28 a game plus other costs associated it is perhaps understandable that gates have hit such a low level. A few wins, good football entertainment and a climb up the table and gates will no doubt improve to near to last seasons levels. Those who did not attend last night missed a cracker of a game.

Not going to happen like that TS.

Lets not forget Marshall, there goalkeeper who made quite a few great saves. We had 12 shots on target and 10 off.

Just back and I really enjoyed that. Just going to relax now. Well done the lads.

May be the Nay's were right. The DJ has opened up 200 points.

Always a shame when someone posts with good intention and without a track record for bull****ting yet is challenged almost for every word posted.

We should be able to pick up USA for a song soon as they have just voted to go into financial meltdown Bit of arm twisting going on at the moment. The whips are out (just to keep it topical )

Yep I have spoken to someone I know. Ladbooks were offering 125/1 on a Saints 2-0 win with Surman to be first Saints scorer. I pointed out first goal was an own goal. Ladbrooks say the first saints scorer was still treated as Surman. So there you are folks. Mystery cleared up. I would have thought the bet was a real Long Shot Well done to him taking money off the bookies.

Could it have been a football bet? After all he said he was at a football game. Sort of score and scorer combined?

Then you are a liar. I know your rantings over a long period on the old 606 and you would never have accepted such an inexperienced coach. Stop trying to justify your obsession with Lowe. I am not an out and out anti Loweite but you are driving me there.

It was 3 people putting on a £10 bet each winning £1250 plus £10 stake = £3780 Not difficult really. Unless you think Long Shot is telling porkies!!!

I agree with your comment TopGun I consider Sundance has an unhealthy obsession for Leon Crouch and Rupert Lowe on opposite ends of the scale. I agree with some of his views, I disagree with others. I know enough to realise neither are Saints nor Sinners. However it is this unhealthy obsession and the offensive manner of the postings that are the main issue for me. Each to his own but if you bite or bait (as some have done on here) you are only feeding that obsession in my view.

And there was me thinking Fulthorpe was the "Walty Mitty" of the consortium

You are steadily going down in my estimation.

The last I heard Michael Brown was denying he was going. He has a year left on his contract and unlike football it is a little more difficult just to move counties in such circumstances. I know Michael is unhappy over not being picked enough for 1 dayers. I also know he can easily give up and work in the city but I suspect we will have him hear next season. Why would he want to go to Surrey anyway. Money is not a problem to Michael from what I have heard. Surrey are in disarray. His future is with us.

Good to see Chap in the Chapel giving his opinions again

Thanks for the update Longshot. I am still very sceptical and as you say, we have heard it all before.

Yep, imo you are correct.

Notts 211 all out, a lead of 8. Now down to our batsmen putting up a good score.
