AwaySaint1 Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 What is the worst thing you have purchased this year costing £5 or more that was Saints related. Season ticket? 2 pints of beer at the stadium? this years shirt? Full membership of TSW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Bates Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 Um, my Saints dog bowl because I have a King Charles Cavalier and now her ears go into the bowl and food gets on her fur and makes it knotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 Judging by the low turnout on this forum these days averaging 70 (+/-) since the £5 fee was introduced, compared to 300 (+/-) before, need I say more. The worse £5 not spent obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just you, i think there's an air of resignation amongst supporters now. What's the point of bravado, passion and optimism when it's futile? The club is like a runaway train now. The breaks are burnt out and the momentum is unstoppable. The only question is when, not if, we derail spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question is when, not if, we derail spectacularly. It also somewhat tiresome that virtually every thread turns into a pro-Lowe versus anti-Lowe debate and with the the large majority of posters you know exactly what they will have written without the need to read the post itself It's a reflection on where we are right now at a very low ebb and a massively fractured support base.

I listened to an interesting discussion involving Jimmy Case on the radio some time ago and he described the club as a triangle. One point of the triangle is the fans. One point of the traingle is the team. One point of the traingle is the board. If the triangle is broken the club is not united and a divided club cannot be sucessful. Either the fans get behind Lowe and the board OR Lowe and the board need to go. It's clear that fans will never be united behind Lowe and Wilde so the triangle will remain broken until they go.

Colinjb Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 Worst 5 quid? The money I spent signing up to this place... No, a round of lagers at the stadium. With Lowe's return I expected an upturn in the quality of the matchday catering. Was so sorely dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 I put 5 quid on Crouch to score first on his England debut, during the summer he was still here. He was injured and didn't even play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly as bad as me putting money on Crouch to score the winner at Fratton Park in April 2005. But the time I got back from the bookies he was announced as injured. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't play he's classed as a non runner and you get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 2 pints of awful beer in the King Alfred before the Norwich game earlier this year. Would have gone to the Guide Dog but it was a midweek game so didn't have a lot of time after getting off of the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrollman no2 Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 A couple of pints of beer in the concourse. Time for real ale! Lowe out. Abbot and Green King in! Oh how i agree with this statement. For a long time now i think when they were building SMS,they made a mistake with the plumbing and ran the waste pipes from the toilets straight to the beer taps in the concourse. At least Lowe can say hes recycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You very rarely see real ale in any function bar (ie one that isnt open regularly) as it mostly doesnt keep well due the lack of chemicals and pasteurisation and keg bitter is worse than lager.

brmbrm Posted 14 October, 2008 Share Posted 14 October, 2008 Well I only browse here occasionally and sign in rarely, so that is £5 saved because lack of enthusiasm. But the comments about the beer/food/catering at SMS are spot on. It is total sh!te and the club are missing a real opportunity. Spent 7 months in the states some years ago and tried all sorts of sports there (as a specatator): american football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey,whatever. Its not just the seat and the game, but the whole match day experience is great. But at SMS, to be honest, its a pretty bloody ordinary concrete stadium, the beer and food is crap and so 1-dimensional. If the game is great who cares, but if it aint (and it aint) then some improvement here would (a) bring more money into the clubs pocket and (b) make it a generally better experience. But will it happen? Will it ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true, you do at the cricket (ie England games) but different market. About the best you'll get at any football ground is Marsdon's Smooth. OK, it's not brilliant but it's better than John Smith's or Carls****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickmick Posted 15 October, 2008 Share Posted 15 October, 2008 £5 on this site. There is so little decent subject/conversation on here that know one is posting. Even dragging up old managers good or bad has become boring. Perhaps we should allow the Skates on the main board to liven things up a bit.
