I wouldn’t be adverse to the old Southampton city crest being used on a shirt, maybe even a third kit. Some teams with adidas as their supplier have had retro style thirds kits made, with the trefoil and a retro club badge, I’d love to have seen something like that for us.

Not something I’d really noticed before but you’re right, it is rare occurrence. 2017 was the last time our first two home games were back to back Saturdays. Hadn’t happened before that since before the 80s if ever.

The first 4 of your 5 points all come down to expenditure, and as the club have wasted money on the wages of Gavin Bazunu, Damien Downs and a 2 year contract extension for Alex McCarthy to the tune of 40k a week then no I don’t buy this line that the fans should have to foot the bill for your points you raised, especially as the increase in ST prices amounts to about £550k in total. Let’s not forget the club wasted approx £825k in paying the wages of Oriol Romeu to do fuck all for 7 months, and paying off the contract of yet another failed management experiment, so cry me a river about “inflation”. Lastly was I not entertained last season? No, not till December time, the first 4 months were a shambles that the fans had to endure, and then the following 5 months as entertaining as they may be were null and void, because some people representing our club chose cheating rather than doing things the right way, with no care nor thought for the shit storm that would follow if caught. lastly, before getting high and mighty about name calling, perhaps consider not calling those arguing about the price increase a “lazy victim” first eh.

There’s a detailed post on the fab F.A.B thread which states Hampshire police had already drawn up plans prior to a meeting with fans and the respective clubs safety teams and the bubble was their decision. Whilst the FAB might not have pushed back on the bubble as a whole they did raise complaints about the timings of the whole thing. Given they were patting themselves on the back about the whole thing I’m sure Hampshire will be forcing the bubble again next season. They can’t afford anymore bad publicity.

Doesn’t matter what the fans want, Hampshire Police will call the shots on the bubble decision.

Watford moved for tv to Sunday 1.30pm Fuck off Sky.

Both games against the Skates to be pushed back to the following day. Wouldn’t be surprised if Hampshire police have a say in the Boro game time and date too.

You missed the bit about him helping go after ex servicemen, particularly those that fought in the troubles and in Iraq, and then appointing the lawyer who was proven to have lied as his Attorney General.

It’s a good observation but to be honest it’s not a weight class that has a lot of those big knockouts we love to see. Doubt we’ll see another fight at St Mary’s this year due to the pitch damage such events bring. Will probably see him back at the BIC towards the end of autumn, or very likely on the undercard at a bigger Queensberry event, possibly even Fury vs Joshua if it happens.

Great fight, great atmosphere. Brilliant advert for the sport, won’t have trouble selling tickets for another fight at St Mary’s.

Yeah the chapel was never on sale from the outset tbf but it does look like they’ve since netted off the kingsland/northam corner and probably moved anyone there into the Northam. They were giving away free tickets on a seat filler site I’m subscribed to such was the lack of interest. Still, fans have been in a good voice and a good few chants of OWTSGMI. Plenty of familiar faces in the crowd too.

Some stadium this. Fuck knows why they never thought to put a retractable roof on Wembley. Turkey must be pig sick being eliminated already, utterly dominated both their games apart from the only stat that matters.

Only just heard about this, seems an interesting decision, apparently to prevent players getting tired from playing three matches in the first week of the season? Personally don’t mind that tbf, having a close to zero stakes competitive match instead of a friendly ahead of the campaign starting is probably better prep. Dare say it’ll get more bums on seats than a midweek first round tie. edit: it’s just dawned on me that it’s entirely possible we could open the season with a cup match against the blue few. I suspect the old bill may encourage a pre recorded draw to prevent certain ties being pulled out the hat.

Hopefully the two derbies return to the December/Easter sort of dates of previous years September was too early for a game like that.
