What are the things that we don't see anymore when it comes to the Saints?

 

 

I will start with the Daily Echo not having anymore exclusives.

 

Goals against beating the goals for in the league table.

 

Anymore?

 

Seeing them Playing in the Premier League

The Daily Echo office having a "scoreboard" outside with the latest Saints score...... though maybe it's still there !?

Going to the Dell and being able to watch the Reserves and get live updates on how Saints were doing AND a free programme ( albeit only 1/2 pages!).

Losing more games in a Season than we win.

 

Kids standing on milk crates at the front of the terrace.

 

Sitting your nipper on a Crush barrier so he or she can see

 

Paying to enter the stadium on the day with coins

 

And people shouting "Nipper coming through...." and the crowd moving aside so you get set up with your milk crate behind the white wall.

 

And then during the game laugh at the expressions on the faces of opposing team players when they realise that they've run out of pitch after a mad sprint down the line and there's that low white wall and then us to stop them!!!!

 

Mischievous ladies (I presume they were ladies anyway) trying to pull the shorts down of players who had strayed too far back to get a bit of distance for a throw in....

Throwing coins at a target being carried around the pitch as the Albion Band played. R.A.F Police Dog displays.

 

As a youngster being hit with all the coins as they didn't reach the target canvas.....Seeing the players pick up the coins that did land on the pitch and the old man telling me that was the players wages....:D
