If Saints were a song then they'd once again be nestled somewhere between D:Ream's 'Things Can Only Get Better!' and Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence'.... Yes, it's been another week of back-to-back defeats, defensive frailties and a continued waning of overall confidence (for players and fans alike!) TSP244 attempts to pick through the bones of those Ipswich and Boro games, while looking ahead to the visit of Leeds (and inevitable Joel Piroe goalscoring exhibition...)

Thanks for the feedback, Dusic. Always useful to get. We appreciate that for many long-term listeners some of the intro may get a little tenuous, but we’re picking up new Saints supporters week after week and not all of them know who we are or how we operate. Hence consistently sharing the overview of the weekly panel, patron tiers etc. We’ll do our best to keep that as succinct as we can moving forward.

Glad you enjoy the podcast. Appreciate you listening. Regarding the costs, we don’t have a main sponsor (the ads really don’t provide much) so have to pay ourselves for weekly hosting/production, the technology behind our content (ie Streamyard), the physical equipment the chaps use to record, software for producing social media clips/snippets, social events and our website. We also provide patrons (depending on tiers) with merchandise (plus international shipping etc.) at the end of each season. While some of that obviously isn’t compulsory to the success of the pod, we want to try and make it the best listen/watch we can, so track and invest every £1 back into the final product. Over the course of a month/season it adds up, so the patron contributions remain vital (and appreciated) to keeping the show on the road. Hope that helps 👍🏻

The latest episode of TSP(243) is available now, reflecting on another frustrating home performance/defeat - this time against Leicester City - as well as previewing the visit of Ipswich Town and Saturday's long trip North to Middlesbrough.
