The9 Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 Bizarre. "Nearly doing what fans ask on the Forum" - they've cut up the pitch, and you can help yourself to the topsoil. No, it's NOT the turf. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2067113,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 9 June, 2010 Author Share Posted 9 June, 2010 Can just imagine some bloke loading up the back of his megane decked out in full saints gear and a shovel. I can imagine someone getting a (Liebherr?) digger down there and flogging it off on eBay for the next 2 years and making himself a few quid.

Andy_Porter Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 Surely if they're already paying a company to dig it and carry it outside the stadium it wouldn't have cost that much to get a 35 yard roll on skip and dump it all in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 Effectively getting people to shovel his sh!t now. I love the way its dressed up as the club doing us a huge favour. In fact, I might get in on the act and put an advert out. At my house, for a limited period only, I'm offering lager fans the unique chance to get their hands on a large number of empty glass bottles. I've spent the past few weeks removing many litres of lager from these bottles. The way that it has been removed means that that lager itself is no longer usable, but the bottles themselves are in great condition. Some of these bottles have previously contained some award winning beers including San Miguel, which won the best Spanish lager award last year, so I thought it would be nice for Saints fans to get their hands on them before they are removed. The bottles are located in two large plastic boxes in my back garden. If you fancy taking some and being the envy of all your lager supporting mates this summer, all you need to do is bring your own black sacks and help yourselves.

S-Clarke Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 "With the World Cup coming up there is sure to be plenty of barbeques over the summer - fans might be looking at smartening up their lawns and this would be an ideal solution. It's a simple enough process, all anyone would need to do would be to mix a bit of seed with the top soil and then spread it over the top of the lawn." w.t.f.

St Landrew Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 It's really peculiar. Every gesture the club makes is now taken as a negative. Earlier last season, Cortese went out to overnight queueing supporters and asked them if they were all right, and provided them with coffe and sandwiches. He also made the gesture of providing a lifelong season ticket to a new born baby. Those were ok, I suppose, or were they somehow perverted..? Now we have the club's old topsoil being made available. So what..? Well, I can tell, that it is half as good as the old Dell topsoil, it will be superb. In fact, it'll be better than most people would be prepared to pay out for. I do sometimes wonder how many brain cells football supporters were spared at birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave it to you to work out what. Stu, ultimately, I couldn't give a toss about Cortese. What intrigues me is that he has has made the odd tiny blunder, according to a few Saints fans, and suddenly his worth is somewhere between Hitler and Satan. Get some perspective, peeps. The bloke got his mate to buy your beloved club from extinction. That sort of gives him the benefit of the doubt for a bit longer than 5 minutes. Or is this the way football fans go with their opinions..? Totally black or blissful white, with no grey inbetween..? If that's the case, put your football supporting head away for a few seconds, and think of what all the moaning and sniping adds up to in the grand scheme of things.
