StuRomseySaint Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can we not do an open-top bus parade through the town... that would probably class as one of the most cringeworthy moments in my Saints supporting life if we did.

You really need to stop worrying about what other people think about us. Fair enough it's a noddy cup for noddy clubs, but as an event the nippers would enjoy it. We've had several years of doom and gloom, so it's about time the nippers had some days they can enjoy. You are getting old Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would be a little OTT for us to do it, I'd much prefer something more low key like a parade around the stadium before a game or something. However my 10 year old brother would love it - and I would deffo go along for the feel good factor!

JRM Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 it will be nice to have the squad picture at the start of next season with a trophy at their feet. when Luton won it they even gave fans a chance to have their picture taken with it, the trophy is massive, about 3ft tall!

Taking 44,000 fans to a final at the new Wembley IS a big deal regardless of what competition it`s in. ML and NC want the club to be self-financing so they are obviously going to try and raise revenue off the back of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BECAUSE it is a day out at Wembley, our first at the new stadium, it's a chance to be amoungst 44k other Saints fans getting smashed and having a good time. The actual game to me is a bit of a side-show. Winning the trophy isn't embarassing, celebrating it like it's the FA Cup is... This is nothing more than a poor mans Charity Shield in my book.

acersaint Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 I think the posters putting down the JPT are being very unkind to the lower league teams who maybe will play at a higher level and why shouldn't they have an opportunity to play at Wembley. Let's not put them down. We are very fortunate to have the infrastructure and the backing that we have. That will get us back to the premiership but let's not undermine the value this competition has for lower league teams. I couldn't get a ticket but will still enjoy the day and if we win I will be happy to join in any celebrations going without any embarrasment whatsoever.
