Perhaps he was dreaming about you dreaming, and had advised you (in his dream) not to eat so much cheese the next time you're in his dreams? Gorganzola?

Window Cleaner Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 or was it Golden Goal tickets Nah, it was a sort of fruit machine ticket made of coloured thick paper that the supporters club sold to help the club back in the 70's. I used to sell them, Dart's Night at the BP was a real money spinner for the club. Probably cost 10p but I couldn't be sure on that. If you got 3 Oranges you made quite a bit I think. But I do remember Golden Goal, thought they only sold them at the ground though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of my old employers were in the deep dubbin I doubt that I'd dob them money. We made 7 million £ out of Wayne Bridge, 6 million out of James Beattie, that money has been thrown down the drain of hiring mediocre players, why should the lads give us money?

I'm not saying they SHOULD.

Correct because you don't know where it will end up or if it will have any effect whatsoever. It's too late now, your money will be gobbled up by vultures.

If you can't understand morally why a fabulously wealthy individual like Wayne Bridge for instance should make a relatively small contribution to help save the club he supported as a boy (the club that gave him his entry into the privileged lifestyle he now enjoys I might add) than there's probably little point in trying to explain it - suffice it to say most Saints fans on here will instinctively 'get it' without the slightest difficulty I hope and believe .

Football has a place in our history , our society and most importantly in the hearts of it followers that places it above the mundane world of rigid commercial self interest and cold logic . . But the fact is Charlie that the club has destroyed itself, bad management, bad football,bad decisions and even some bad fans. I just don't see that we should expect former players to give us a hand up. Nor fans because there is no guarantee whatsoever that the donations will fund the continuity of the club. Why should Wayne Bridge and James Beattie who played valiantly for a long time for less than average Premiership salaries fund the continued existence of wasters like Euell??? Who earns more for doing absolutely f*ck all than they ever did for providing great football for the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 Perhaps Wayne thinks it will not help one jot. Well we're told by both the Administrator and Leon Crouch that's there's a real and immediate risk of the club folding before a new owner can be found . Perhaps they're both lying or exaggerating the seriousness of the situation , but not being able to examine the books myself it's my policy to believe what these apparently reputable people are saying until it's proven they're not acting in good faith . This is nothing to do with paying undeserving players wages per se - it's about the survival of the club . So if Wayne does think his contribution is not necessary he may well be wrong , fatally wrong . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
