John Boy Saint

That measurement was taken at the end of the day after a good evening meal 😁

Oooo that water is a bit exotic! 🤪

They’d still make a dogs dinner of this offside Ai VAR technology, which has been superb at this tournament so far.

Ha-ha the PGMOL crew chalk off a good goal after 3 minutes with their thumbs up their backsides. VAR has been so good up to now

I can’t get Glen at league one minus 10’s referencing Rooney as ‘ol Potato Head out of my head.

Guehi about the only player able to eat his dinner tonight knowing that he’s earned it - being short changed by that powder puff Rice pass and retrieving the situation, anyone else would have made a half arsed dogs dinner of that: even if they had the gumption.

If I recall correctly he didn't even know he was going, he thought he would be playing that night, apparently his Dad, at the game, didn't even know until everyone else in the stadium did.

Blimey @Wurzel are you watching this thread on catch up!? 😁

Greedy one trick pony, who after a Headline grabbing start for us got found out and he didn’t have a solution. Hope we move on past this shop window.

Pretty certain that when it was being built, it was said the stadium design allowed Chapel, Kingsland, and Northam to have 5000 extra seats bolted on to them. I also seem to recall more recently that adding 5000 seats to SMS would cost more than the £32m it cost to build the whole stadium.

Slighty off topic - A few years ago I seem to recall that if you got promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt following relegation, that the remainder of the parachute payment for your second season "stayed behind" in the EFL for distribution. Just wondered if I imagined this or it still happened?

Wealdstone FC just off the A40 at Northolt, 10 minute walk to Ruislip Tube station - 20 minute ride to Wembley. Saints are on their list of teams to invite for Wembley parking. Man City were in there on Saturday with 1400 folks, like us eating BBQ, drinking fair priced beer. So they certainly had a busy weekend boosting club funds. Coventry were there for the semis.

A mere £7.50. Just so easy.

I have to say being sat somewhere near the Stratosphere giving a great view of the pitch. I will say I was pretty calm throughout the game, having watched Saints for over 40 years with my own eyes, rather than on TV, it was very notable how well we controlled Leeds keeping them at arms length for the majority of the game. great day out

I have to say that they were a big part of making the day great - they were so welcoming. Listening to the guys directing parking, they had 1400 City fans in on Saturday for the cup. Just brilliant to be swelling the coffers of a non league football team.

Downes was with one of the back room staff down in front of us looking into the crowd - the back room guy was patting Flynn on the badge and seemingly gesturing he is staying here!

If the original ICF members turned up for a scrap today our yoof would be running home to Mummy.

Bet the Janners in the stands won’t be best pleased

Tickets arrived Parking sorted Just need to arrange a Sherpa and Oxygen for the ascent to our seats up in the Gods.

Be funny after all the gobshoiting that there’s a little enclave of Saints fans in their end

If you look at your confirmation email the postage element has VAT on it, a £1.35 first class stamp on its own doesn’t attract VAT, once you add a service like signed for, or special delivery then that is VAT’able. There are many private mailing companies out there that are regulated and can ensure a specified delivery by using many means. Whistl is one of them. As an aside I was told l long ago by a postmaster that if you want something to get there with no value inside Signed for is better value than Special Delivery as they go in the same bag and through the same route at the sorting office, you are just not paying for the insurance.

Cheers M’Lud - tis done

you need to stop sucking that lemon my friend! I know someone who works at Saints one of the cogs in the machine who hardly sees any games because they are part of putting the show on. While you are sat in your seat enjoying the game they are working behind the scenes whether it’s at SMS or the training “complex” (because that’s what it is). So if the club decide that they are going to reward staff as part of the team that got us to this game, with a treat for them, their other halves and kids, who have put up with the mood after a shit day and possibly antisocial hours - so bloody what it’s their bat and their ball - they can do what the hell they want. These days every ticket that’s given out by the clubs is accounted for, any that find their way into “wrong hands” can be traced and there will be serious repercussions, and that includes the players. if you have an axe to grind question where the 20,000+ other tickets are going - not club staff.

Given having read much of the above, I was amazed at how easy it was to get a ticket for me and Mrs JBS once in

Hmmmmm - my clock just went from 35 minutes to 1h 11 minutes 😳
