Unbelievable Jeff Posted 9 March, 2015 Share Posted 9 March, 2015 London saints has over 200 members and is still going strong around 25 members on average go to every away game I was going to join that but then I had to fill in forms and send a cheque (I don't have a chequebook anymore) and it all became hassle. What we need is a simple group of fans in London that all'sit in one email group, and someone sends out an email everytime a game is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 11 March, 2015 Share Posted 11 March, 2015 Who leads / organises it, or is that the issue, i.e. no one does anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO5 4BW Posted 12 March, 2015 Share Posted 12 March, 2015 Guess the answer to both the last question and the OP is 'no'. I'd be up for watching any evening games in a pub in London. I can't guarantee getting away from work early enough to get down to SMS these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rubbish website, lack of activity, and zero response, has led me to the impression they're just a bunch of old f*rts! I think we should start our own cooler London gathering.

shurlock Posted 12 March, 2015 Share Posted 12 March, 2015 (edited) Who leads / organises it, or is that the issue, i.e. no one does anymore? If you're talking about London Saints, it's Mick Strickland. London Saints is still going strong but revolves principally around away games (useful for cheap train tickets). It has a social side but it's pretty crusty and irregular (e.g. a get together at the end of the season as well as other activities in the summer but theyre only for a hardened few who go back years). In other words, there's a niche if saints fans living in the smoke just want to meet up and watch a game in the pub.

SO5 4BW Posted 12 March, 2015 Share Posted 12 March, 2015 Think most of the London Saints activity is organising to get down to matches so the field is clear for televised matches. Cooler London gathering sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxford_lou Posted 12 March, 2015 Author Share Posted 12 March, 2015 But the identification of the problem (post #1) and suggested solution (#9) were both yours Lou - you sound like a natural organiser! Yeah, but I already get the **** take out of me too much, just for organising drinks in Southampton. If I start organising ones in London too, I'll get a reputation! Plus no one is going to meet up with a girl in London. I need a couple of guys to set something up before they'll have the nerve to invite a girl along... But let me know once you've done that!

SO5 4BW Posted 13 March, 2015 Share Posted 13 March, 2015 Ok, ok - for the sake of your reputation! The TV matches I'd be up for are midweek rather then at weekends (either home in leafy Surrey then or at SMS) so I'll organise something for the first one of next season.

Griffo can be the leader. That's not a nice thing to say about website, as Mr Grant who is moderator on here responsible for Website ! we may be old Farts In your opinion, with most knowing each other for years, but we have had many younger fans join in recent years, we've also arranged meetings with ex-Saints in London and raised substantial money for charities over the years Best events were when we had players come to end of season parties after Wimbledon (Great escape season), West Ham (Bally in charge) and Arsenal (when we lost 5 -1) However it has proved impossible to get players to come to these do's in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW5 SAINT Posted 20 March, 2015 Share Posted 20 March, 2015 I tried London Saints when I first came to live in London 15 years ago. But it did seem to be mostly a group of old friends who had known each other for years and were now mostly living back in places like Salisbury and Winchester, so not really London concentric at all. I would be up for meets to watch games with other Saints in a pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxford_lou Posted 20 March, 2015 Author Share Posted 20 March, 2015 Lou, did you make a new years resolution to meet as many Saints fans as possible this year or summat? No, I just don't have any friends who support the Saints, and I don't like going to games on my own. It's easy for boys - boys have lots of boy gangs who watch football. I don't.

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 22 March, 2015 Share Posted 22 March, 2015 No, I just don't have any friends who support the Saints, and I don't like going to games on my own. It's easy for boys - boys have lots of boy gangs who watch football. I don't. You say that, but none of my friends support Saints so I have literally no-one to go to matches with. When I go into tend to go either on my own, or I'll try to meet up with those on her, for instance I went to the Arsenal away game with one of adriansfc's mates. Can usually get someone to come to the pub to watch it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 23 March, 2015 Share Posted 23 March, 2015 I'm in the same boat as Lou & Jeff. Never lived in Soton, so know no other Saints fans IRL. Would be up for London based viewings, trips to sms etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
