Saint_Jonny Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 No international breaks is a good one. And being THE big fish this season has been a bit of fun, next season we will simply be one of a number of bigger fish, and if we make it to the prem - one of the small fish.

Coastal Saint Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Playing teams with real supporters. JPT Leaving games with a smile (cus we have won again) No international breaks.

Griffo Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 (edited) A lot of things. Visiting new grounds. Long Tuesday night trips to Hartlepool Winning more games than we're used to No international breaks Terraces. Especially Peterborough's one Being hated by almost everyone Having nearly half the attendance at some away games Sadly, the JPT Edited 3 May, 2011 by Griffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 An easy chance of Wembley with the JPT. Excitement. Making Premiership attendances look cack compared to a League One club. Playing clubs we haven't played in years. Aside from that nothing springs to mind. I've been desperate to see us get back to the Championship, I really enjoyed our spell there. I don't even care about the Premiership, as long as we don't sink from the nPC anytime soon. Or ever, ever again. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 no international breaks and as someone above said, going to small poor clubs and seeing that they still have proper fans even though a Prem outfit is just down the road. Like Oldham. To be honest, I have really enjoyed being in L1. Won't be sad to leave it but it does have its moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 As I said on another thread One of the best things about league 1 is it's made us bring in players who for the first time in years appear to appericate playing for saints. Players who have been down in the lower leagues for much of their careers and know being at southampton is a good place to be. Far better than teams of overpriced journeymen and forgeiners that made up our teams for the last few years long may it continue. Also as others have said It's been fun being the billy big ******** of the league. Oh and ticket prices as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge_B Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 I nearly started a similar thread the other day. My final memories of the Premiership were of players happy to take money out of the club without putting anything back in. Right now it feels like the squad are playing for the club. I want Saints to win every game they play and get promotion from every league, but if rising through the leagues means losing any of the spirit it feels like we have right now then I will definitely miss that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker268 Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 One thing L1 has shown me is that Saints have one of the best sets of true fans in the country. Consistently having the crowds we have had shows just how many real Southampton fans there are, opposed to a lot of Prem clubs who only have crowds of a similar size due to the fact they are in the Premiership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Probably be the only time we'll ever break the 90 point barrier and of course, as long as we stay out of it we'll never be able to take +50k fans to Wembley again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperm_john Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 the lesser amount of traffic on a match day trying to get away from sms than champ or prem games ...being able to guarantee a ticket for pretty much every home game on the day (still a probability tbh) ...being at the lower end of english football all the nob head arsenal fans etc all have treated me with added respect for following 'sh1t football' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Looking over during a home game and seeing a pocket of away supporters trying to keep warm as they know they wont score at St Mary's.

Dalek2003 Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 The terraces. In a way the old fashioned simplicity and honesty of league 1. Felt at times we were going back to the old days.
