People watching at SMS

I was lucky enough to be in the MLT suite today with seats for the game just behind the directors box. It was very interesting to se some familar faces. Mick Channon, Francis Benali, Killer. But I was most surprised to see Mark Wotte.

 

Why and in what context? Conducted himself very professionally and in extreme circumstances if you ask me during hsi time as manager and his treatment in the end was a tad shoddy but at least he did ok out of it financially allegedly.

 

If Mark Wotte can enjoy a game at SMS makes you wonder about the great McMenemy and just how the big the 'bitterest pill' is? Lets hope he swallows it soon and pays his money and follows the fine example of Wotte sometime soon.

I thought Mick Channon looked well, certainly lost some weight around the face, back to that 'craggy look'. Unfortunately because of the crap PA system (a few speakers at the back of the stands would sort it), I could'nt make out much of what he was saying, but great to see him nonetheless.

Made me smile when he said his second greatest moment was winning the League cup for Norwich. Watching the tumble weed drift from the Northam in proverbial silence was quite funny. True diplomat and love him all the more for it. Mick Channon the greatest? I think so.

Apart from Bobby Stokes' immortal moment, my most memorable goal is Mick's run, shot and goal from the halfway line against Coventry way back when.

You really can't help yourself can you?

 

Do you honestly believe Wotte bought his own ticket?

I doubt that and supporters sitting at the back of the stands next to a speaker would not be too keen either. We have had extra speakers on the ground behind the goal at the Chapel end for a few seasons now, but you still cannot hear what is being said.

When we first moved to St Mary's it was quite clear but it seemed to change to unintelligible a season ago, or two.

As opposed to Nigel Pearson I suppose.

Can't stop myself highlighting an interesting assessment between two ex-Saints managers? No I suppose I can't in this relevant case, and IMO like a few others I firmly believed Wotte bought a seat although I doubt he wrote a cheque and no doubt he is more than comfortable with chip and pin.
