Some of the greatest times that I ever had whilst watching Saints were when Ron played. Remember him signing from Norwich when we were promoted to the 1st Division in `66 for £55,000! Was at Old Trafford when Ron was credited with all 4 goals. Great, great days and a great, great player. Keep well Ron.

Sounds like a good bloke.

Or a lesbian in a mans body.

Or Simon Schama

A Labrador

Certainly better than "Hole in the Wall"! Vanessa Feltz in a silver wet-suit!!:smt107:smt107:smt107. They go for the comedy "Top Gear" type humour, which is not surprising with "The Hampster" fronting it. It`s harmless enough.

I think that this sums it up. I really don`t think that it is to do with whether we are at The Dell or at SMS. It is to do with Southampton attitude, a love of the City, and an appreciation of what the Club means to Sotonians. Rupert and his mob really don`t have a clue!:mad:

I think that you need to qualify what a "Winning Run" is. ATM 2 in a row would be a winning run.

I seem to remember Rupes saying similar things during our relegation year.

The Jews have been persecuted for well over 1000 years. Perhaps, now that they are in a position of strength they don`t feel like taking any more crap from anyone. Just a thought.

http://www.classicspeedway.co.uk/southampton.htm This is quite an interesting site.

I also have this on VHS. It is a superb bit of ghost story-telling. A ghost story that is actually scary. Really enjoyed the West End production a few years ago as well.

When SMS was being built I went on a tour there and I asked about undersoil heating and I was told that there would be none as the number of games called off through frozen pitches is minimal so it wasn`t worth spending the extra money.

Wilde takes the money and runs? House-building is not a very profitable business at the moment.

Have been watching the "WC Fields Collection" that I have been given for Christmas. Wonderful stuff! Looking forward to the "Tony Han**** Collection" that I was also given.

All players that we have never heard of or never liked are going to be crap! (Viafara etc):confused:

I am sorry but I grew up in this city. Saints were always a vital part of Southampton. As you can see from my posts ( spelling/punctuation) although I have had my share of alcohol, I am not totally "car parked" (to quote Micheal McIntyre) and am saying what I really feel. I am sorry if this comes across as the rantings of a drunkard but it couldn`t be farther from the truth. Sometimes it takes the release of alcohol to say the things that you really feel.

OK. I am sure that tomorrow is another day. Things will be a lot better tomorrow.

Yes I am currently very maudlin but I am a ST holder (since mid 70`s) and after many years of following Saints as a way of life have suddenly come to realise that there are ****s at the club who have no concept of what the club really means to the City and whats more don`t care!!!

Met Briggo a few months ago. The man was Southampton through and through. Oh for a few more the same!!!

Yes I am ****ed. But it does not mean that I am stupid or do not mean that I feel any the less sad about our current predicament. Please don`t think that I am simple minded.

I apologise if this clashes with any other threads but after a few glasses of wine and a couple of glasses of expensive port, (check punctuation! I am still copmis mentis!!) I really feel like I have to say exactly how I feel. I am nearly 60 (yes ****ing 60) years old. I am sat watching The Who at The Isle of Wight on Sky Arts. I am thinking about my years on this earth and the important part that Saints have played in them. Of all of the things that have been important to me in all of that time, The Saints are the thing that have been with me as long as I can remember. They have been important to my grandfather and to my father. Suddenly there are people in charge of "our" club that only have an interest in "their investment" and have no interest in the history or relevance of SFC to the wider community of our city. The "Spirit of Southampton" if you will. I feel at a complete loss as to what to do. Someone please help me!! I . I have lost the Speedway, I have lost the Ice Rink, I have lost the Lido. I have lost so much that is "Southampton" and I cannot face the loss of SFC. Please somebody, do something!!!

Not especially well known but a great loss to music.

And they were booed off by all accounts.
