JustMike Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 After reading the thread on Pahars it reminded me of how his farewell lap at SMS and the fans reaction to him made me shed a tear, how many other saints moments have made people feel like that?

Colinjb Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 Camara's winner against Norwich. Such a mix of relief, joy and hope..... such incredible hope that we could and just might make it out of the hole we were in. I was on the verge of tears of joy. Alas no. Being 4-0 up at Wembley after an hour. It still doesn't seem possible to me yet it was, couldn't care less that it was only the JPT, after the last 5 years, after all that crap, and then balanced with all the activity and improvement this year, THAT was the moment when it sunk in. Yes, I can now be proud of my club again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky_Mark Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 higginbotham scoring the last minute equaliser at Palace to keep us going for another week and the whole of the day at Wembley and yet another one, the day and as a whole with all the different emotions when we lost at Pride Park in the play offs heartbreak in the end but the comeback and Rasiak goal to take it to extra time was special!

SO5 4BW Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 Was just going to mention that Notts County game in 1982-83 - about as bad as it got in the early 80's. Two players in jail, out of Europe, bottom of the division after some really bad results including a 0-6 at Spurs. Woodward and McMenemy led the team out. Fantastic support all through Also - seeing the camera cut to Ted Bates and Bill Ellerington on the bench at Wembley after Bobby scored. A personal one - at West Ham in the runners-up season. One of their players has a shot - craning forward to see it - seemingly inevitably - hit the back of our net - only to see Nick Holmes chest it down and clear. God I loved that man...

bpsaint Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 (edited) The play off game at Derby,going from tears of joy as Rasiak scored to tears of sadness as we lost the penalties. Slumped back in my seat with the feeling that the club was going to go downhill from there which unfortunately happened. Crouch vs the skates, Pahars vs the skates. Camara against Norwich,felt emotionally drained after that game,still remains my favourite game I've been to at SMS. When Danny Wallace bought the match ball out before the Bolton game in the 03/04 season. Don't think anyone knew he was going to do so and it was sad to see him struggling like he did. The final whistle at Villa Park in the 03 semi final and then during abide with me at the subsequent final. Watching Kelvin and Deano lift the JPT at wembley.

Big_Bald_Si Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 3 key moments for me that almost had me in tears: * FA cup final 2003. Was so proud of the boys and all the Saints fans stayed right until the end. We were clear underdogs, but still. * Relegation from the Premiership 2005 - on the drive back to Reading, my old man and I didn't say a word to each other. Absolutely the most gutting moment as a Saints fan. * Marians last game. If this didn't choke you up, you ain't a Saints fan. I love that little Latvian.

Saint_Jonny Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 Ive only come close too tears once, Sheffield United last game 07/08. I didnt want to go to the game that day, couldnt bare to see us go down again, the old man dragged me through the door though and it was well worth it. When the Kingsland did that motif' thats when it really sank in, and I had to hold it all in. God im a wetty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 During the Norwich JPT game, I dropped my uneaten hotdog on the floor of the Kingsland. Was a bit upset, they're not cheap, and I was hungry. Being a Saints fan is all about ups and downs, highs and lows. We cry for the sad things as much as we cry at the good. This is something Man Utd fans and other glory supporting fans will never understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 Got a bit of a lump in the throat around the time Markus took over and they played that video of Saints history on the screens. It really drove it home how much passion there is for the club, what a massive gesture Markus made in rescuing the club from oblivion and what a debt of gratitude we owe NC for putting Saints on Markus' radar.

Arizona Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 travelling up to leeds with you and that guy behind us saying the game was off! I don't remember believing that. My memories from that day are: -Freezing my tits off -Meeting the Leicester fans at Leicester Forrest Service station. Their game had just been frozen off (Cardiff away I think). Seemed odd that they would be there. - Having a free seat next to me because someone didn't show up - Listening to Liverpool collapse and lose at Pompey on 5Live - Loads of snow in Leeds - My uncle lending you a hat - Waigo and James being appaling. - A great goal from Snodgrass. - Harding putting a howitzer JUST wide with the last kick of the game. - That fat bastard Leeds fan falling on his arse on a patch of ice and looking up to see 3 bus loads of Saints fans giving him the Vs. - You and Matey Boy singing "we're the dark side over 'ere" when my spotlight got stuck on and I couldn't get to sleep on the bus.
