Crab Lungs Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Cortese definitely on the charm offensive. But don't get me wrong - he's doing it not just to prove a point that he is a good person but because he GENUINELY IS ONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintgaz Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Just read the story. Congrats to the new parents and well done Mr. Cortese. Nice to have a chairman with a heart!!!

St Landrew Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 What a brilliant story, and what a superb imaginative gesture by Nicola Cortese and the club. It slightly makes the head spin trying to work out if this is the same club I have been following these recent years. The transformation is amazing. Oh, and congratulations to the parents of little Jessica too. I wonder how long it will be before she takes her seat..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano6 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 I heard from close sources within the club that Cortese only offered the Season Ticket after he found out it was a girl, and so would be unlikely to be going to any games anyway. They also said he has instructed turnstile operators to be on the lookout for other people trying to get in on that ticket. Despicable IMO.

benjii Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 I stood on a freezing terrace at Elm Park watched us get two red cards and lose to Reading.... I stood in Krap Nottarf and watched them put four past us... I've seen us lose to countless lower league teams.... I've spent hundreds, thousands of pounds watching Saints.... what do I get?

Avenue Saint Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 (edited) Work with the girl, very happy for them.. What a gesture by NC. Should be a nice tonic for all the twisted moaners, looking for the first opportunity to jump on the "Adolph Cortese" banwagon! True gent!

ericofarabia Posted 6 February, 2010 Share Posted 6 February, 2010 Skatesmuff are going to do a similar thing to the next tadpole born at FP .... safe in the knowledge it will cost sweet FA as the season ticket for life will only last 2 weeks and they don't have a home game till the week after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and congratulations to the parents of little Jessica too. I wonder how long it will be before she takes her seat..? Agreed Andrew, It's good to see someone who's close enough to the fans to react to this joyful event. I think Cortese was moved by the story (as we were) and what a wonderful humitarian response. At least, he didn't do it in the hope of getting a good coverage in the Echo ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despicable IMO. have you looked at the crowd recently Deano, especially in the Family Section .....LOADS of little girls in there with their mums and dads, so doubt very much if your "source" is correct. We haven't even had a game since Jessica was born....so how the hell would he have done that already (unless of course the turnstile operators live at the stadium between games, or perhaps he's phoned them all up to tell them in person!) stop being such a sourpuss and just enjoy a nice heartwarming story .....:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
