ant Posted 12 August, 2014 Share Posted 12 August, 2014 Blimey, I'd forgotten about the little old club shop. My uncle used to take me there to buy assorted bits of club tat with my pocket money. Can't have been very old the last time I went - was it actually situated at the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBenali Posted 12 August, 2014 Share Posted 12 August, 2014 Only started going to games in 1995/1996 so a majority of my Saints supporting life has been at St Marys, but still brings back many memories posting those photos.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 12 August, 2014 Share Posted 12 August, 2014 I started going to the Dell about 1970 as a 6 year old and have wonderful memories as man and boy of our old ground. Very different times and very enjoyable. Thank you for uploading those pictures. Gave me something to smile about and remember when football wasn't all about mega million pound players and super rich foreign owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 12 August, 2014 Share Posted 12 August, 2014 Excellent Norm thanks for that. In comparison to SMS, yes it was a dump. But in comparison to say, ummm... Fratton Park, it's a f*cking Palace!! Miss the place greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of a single match at St Marys that has bettered the atmosphere of The Dell I'm pretty sure Saints 4-3 Norwich in April 2005 destroyed the atmosphere of my final match at the Dell, which was Saints 1-0 Leicester on a dingy Wednesday in late January 2001.

ericb Posted 19 August, 2014 Share Posted 19 August, 2014 Great memories, my first game at the Dell was 1984 and miss the place massively. Dump or not it was just better fun, better atmosphere and more competitive back then. Also the feeling of a surge on the Milton when Saints scored, and the noise of a properly - hold each syllable till you're almost out of breath - OWTS like we used to get in the 80s on the Milton couldn't be beat.

lifeintheslowlane Posted 19 August, 2014 Share Posted 19 August, 2014 This was always my boyhood favorite line up Ahh such a pure and uncorrupted footballing era we grew up in ...as long as you turned a blind eye to Tommy Traynor's betting irregularities and George Kirby's physical assaults on goalkeepers.
