fletch Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 I like this bit!! "as new chairman Nicola Cortese looks to turn them into the South Coast’s answer to Barcelona" Although it doesn't actually said he has ever said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dronskisaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Sad that they had to put the *****y little bit about the Echo row at the end - I must check for a common ownership link. The Echo for me is just something I used to deliver...used to be, has been...just about sums it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 "Fans queueing overnight for tickets to the FA Cup game against local rivals Portsmouth were surprised to be greeted at 6.30am yesterday by Cortese carrying trays of coffee." Nice stuff! Yeah, I loved that bit. Even if it's just PR, it's a cracking effort. The Barcelona link is a bit lazy though. I imagine Randy Lerner at Villa and the board at West Brom would feel a bit narked when they read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Block 5 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Dunno. Are you then?? Possibly. Can you promise me I'm not going to wake up and find Woopert is still running the club and we're playing AFC Totton in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_hill Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Seriously, people are going to moan about a one off special shirt without a sponsor to commemorate our football heritage?

Sussex Saint Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 If it's stripes or a sash I don't care. It's just great to see the club on the move in the right direction again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice stuff! What's this with trays of coffee? It should be mugs of tea, dammit. We're an English club, not some soft continental cappuccino-sipping fairies.

once_bitterne Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Hope it is the sah design.

Red and White IS Southampton, but not necessarily stripes! +1 The 1980's was Saints most successful decade and Saints didn't have stripes at all between 1980 and 1989. Makes complete sense that a 125 year anniversary with no sponsor should be that of the kit 125 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 (edited) From 1885 to 1974 saints did NOT have white socks. From 1885 to 1938 Saints did NOT have black shorts. From 1885 to 1896 and 1980 to 1989 Saints did NOT have red and white stripes. From 1885 to 1974 Saints did NOT have this badge... That is 89 years out of the clubs 125 years WITHOUT that fan designed 1970's badge. Time for a badge redesign Mr Cortese. Those that think the badge has historically always been part of the club need to think again. 36 years out of 125 years is not alot!
