Took my 2 1/2 year old daughter to St Marys for the training session earlier in the week (trying to ease her in gently). She loved it but kept telling me she wanted to get on the pitch and "play football with the big boys"! Bit difficult getting her to understand that she's not allowed. She also kept trying to get down the front where all the other kids were getting autographs from the various injured players - not sure what she'd have made of Wayne Thomas close up though. Got her a "football t-shirt" from the shop after too. I think it might be a while before the first game though - her boredom threshold is low! I've been hooked ever since a 2-1 home loss against Coventry in 89 (i think) with a Danny Wallace penalty as my first "live" goal.

First ever post! Had to post on this as it's reminded me why I'm a Saints fan. Happy memories. What a team we had back then; Le Tiss, Shearer, Wallace, Osman, Case, Flowers, Dodd, Rideout... takes me back. Bring back the glory years, can't wait for the new season. COYR.
