OldNick Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 It is news to me. I would have thought the SaintsWeb could put together a decent side, but i suppose it could get a bit tasty as the UI might get a bit miffed if they were losing. Afterall Im always being told the UI is full of undesirables Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 I was approached recently by both Stu and Nick with a proposal, but I'm not entirely comfortable with certain aspects of it, which they are both aware of. I'm happy to discuss it, but until they come back to me with a revision, the idea's dead in the water as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 From Stu: Give this 'open letter' to him. It will not be a Ted Bates Trophy match. It will be a Ted Bates Memorial Day, on the weekend of his birthday ( provisional date ) , first weekend in May. A chance to raise money for charity, and remember Mr Southampton. A match involving the forums and ex-Saints players will be just one of a number of events through the day and evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 I imagine your reservations are that it would be used as some sort of stick to beat Cortese with because he did away with the Ted Bates Trophy.

hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Nothing I'm going to put on here until I've discussed them with Nick and Stu personally. Reply from Stu: The idea to have a charity day in the memory of Ted Bates is not done to antagonise the club. It has nothing to do with them and to be blunt, would be none of their business ( unless they wanted to get involved ) . It is about doing something for charity, and giving Ted a day where we can all remember him and raise money for charities close to his heart. Really not sure what there is to be uncomfortable about... As I said, the event is not connected to Southampton FC in any way, and this would be made clear.

Gemmel Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 (edited) I know Steve Grant pretty well and respect his decision (And there will be a reason), although can't help thinking how ******* mad it is that politics should play such a part in supporting a club and having a kick around. Not sure having me playing in a Ted Bates memorial match, does much to honour the old fella, but am up for a game, if there are another 15 that fancy it. Independently of course.

dubai_phil Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 I cannot believe anyone is doubting the reasons that we cannot do this. The TSW footballing heroes have two of the finest managers in world football with a Sporting Pedigree second to none. Clearly only having ONE team from each forum is dead in the water as OldNick would simply sue Granty & Baj when we put the banning order on him to stop him taking over MY job as Team Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Maybe they could email Keef and get S4E involved? Or TSF? Or that other one whose name I can't remember that was a bit pants that time between TSF and TSW? Or B-anter?

dune Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 I cannot believe anyone is doubting the reasons that we cannot do this. What are the reasons?

The9 Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 (edited) I'm happy for the global bestest Saints forum football trophy to continue to reside with Saints Forever over those cnvts at Essruu's Saints Fun (RIP). After the thrashing we doled out at Fleming Park (astro) back in 2005(ish), we've had the hypothetical trophy longer than Cheats FC had the FA Cup during the World War now, even stole some of their players... and in MY head Saints Forever segued into TSW and then SaintsWeb, so YAY, we won already without even playing. Plus I've seen Illingsworth play centre back, so we'd be fine anyway. Not that I'd get a game any more. Edited 17 February, 2011 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is an 'us versus the world' mentality on there. Of course, him having a vendetta has nothing to do with him being a total d*ck and getting banned for it.

trousers Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Surely people can set up a team called "SaintsWeb Forum Posters" if they want to?

Turkish Posted 18 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 18 February, 2011 (edited) Or call themselves FC Web Saints. I think what it boils down to is Boj and Steve dont want this forums name associated with anything that is not officially approved by the club in case it upsets someone there, which is a pretty sad state of affairs.
