Mate - I didnt even go to Silverspoons, basically for all the reasons mentioned on here, I knew it would be cr*p (look at my other posts) and stayed well clear. The reason im acting as devils advocate is that im hacked off with the Saints Trust (or whatever guise they want to go by) and their attitude towards other fans. they think they know it all, yet f*ck up left, right and centre. Their silence during the lowe era was shocking, the ted bates statue, the Saints Aid "event" and now this....they are all gong and no dinner. BTW - I had a f*cking excellent day thanks very much, saw my team win something at Wembley and had the added joy of watching a football match with my dad for the first time in over 20 years !!!!

enough of the bend over, pull down tousers and take one mentality...

Its this kind of attitude that will allow NI and the others to do this to fellow fans time and time again....

Whilst everyone seemed to enjoy themselves in Silverspoons on Sunday there was one issue. Sunday was a great day in the history of Southampton Football Club, it was a celebration of the fact that the club is still in existence almost a year after the trauma of administration, in this respect the result was secondary. Er, no it wasn't....I would wager that almost all Saints fans were there on Sunday to see our team win the JPT. I certainly didn’t see or speak to anyone who was there to celebrate our existence. We at COYR were determined to try and do our bit in making the day a little bit special for supporters, on this occasion by acting as ticket agents for Silverspoons Club 2000 at Wembley So why does it say here (http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/johnstones_paint_trophy_2010/5071135.Saints_fans_plan_to_party_at_Wembley/) that the event was organised by Saints Trust Chairman Nick Illingsworth, and I quote "Organiser Nick Illingsworth came up with the idea after joining friends at Silver Spoons for the Everton vs Chelsea FA Cup final last year." The vast majority of the fans present seemed brimming with the "spirit" of the day and like ourselves concentrated on enjoying the occasion Little bit of a dig there at the people that have raised concerns but, inevitably as at any event some are bound to have experienced less than their expectation, in this case Silverspoons itself was taken by surprise by the sheer exuberance of Saints supporters, Here's where they start to offload the blame, "its not our fault, we just have too many brilliant fans" they have had so called bigger clubs than Saints in recent years, but none had displayed the capacity to drink & be merry that Saints supporters showed on Sunday. More guff to bloke smoke up our ars3s Contingency plans were quickly put into place by the owners including opening up a further bar to sell cans and this alleviated the problem of queues to a certain degree although not completely. We are normal fans, not event promoters(now they tell us)out to make a quick buck, we genuinely tried our very best to lay on something special to add to the enjoyment of the day, we like Silverspoons, were taken aback as was the entire nation at Saints supporters capacity to throw a party, not just at Silverspoons but all around Wembley itself. It could be said that the event was a victim of its own popularity. Again, more smoke up our ars3s, and apparently, the conditions were the same everywhere….!!! With this in mind whilst most of the comments we have received have been positive(Really !!), we take our new venture very seriously and whilst almost everyone seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and proximity to Wembley, a small blot on the landscape was the queue for a drink, the very problem that we sought to eradicate, even we couldn’t have foreseen the capacity of the Saints fans for this on Sunday. What !!, How about addressing the lack of “ex saints”, the condition of the place, the drunk DJ, the false advertising etc etc Over the last day or so we have listened and read carefully those views and we are now looking at ways in which we can thank you all for your patience and not letting it spoil your day, if you can give us a few days to think of a way to do this we would be grateful. Here’s a suggestion, why not offer refunds. In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact us by e mail at info@coyr.co.uk COYR are Saints fans too, we look forward to your comments.

Once again the organisers hide behind a pathetic "it’s not our fault" statement. If you claim to be "not experienced event promoters" then stop f**king trying to act like one, and whilst you are at it, stop trying to be festival organisers, statue organisers etc etc. Everyone on this board knows it’s the same people every time that are behind these shambolic incidents... The best thing for you lot to do is to put your hands up and admit that this is another c*ck up on your part, offer people refunds and make the costs of the day transparent to everyone that parted with a £10 to get in.

Saints Aid springs to mind Ted Bates statue springs to mind Organised protest against RL springs to mind

The Linden Tree in Lowford had a copy available last night !!!! Complete with DVD case, printed cover etc.

- Were their any "Ex saints players in attendance" as advertised. - Did the Saints bus pass by and stop off to let the players share a few beers with the fans.

Give Schneiderlin and Lallana a blank cheque with Liebherr's signature on it and tell them to write a figure in that they would be happy with. Make that their weekly wage.

Thought Ep2 was very good. The battle scene towards the end was particularly impressive. However, I dont know why, but for some reason I dont have a "connection" to the main characters like I did with BoB.... I think that where BoB is set in an environment that im familiar with , you immediately feel accustomed to the surroundings etc...whereas, the pacific is (and feels) a million miles away.

what he said

I was expecting an accident of some sort. Feel a bit let down...

Take a crate's worth into Weasles, he'll go through them and offer X amount for the lot......repeat until all CD's have gone

Hope you answered "Champions League glory..."

There is a shop next door to Shirley Police station that buys CD's. Its called Weasles and used to be down St mary Street. When i got rid of my cd collection, the owner offered pretty good prices.

Really, are you sure that out of all the managers in the world, there isnt one that could do a better job than Brown. Each to their own I suppose.

Good, the bloke was a 1st class prat.

I was unable to get of the FOC tickets that have been on sale recently, and dont fancy paying £100 for a ticket off some c**t on ebay, so.... If anyone ends up having a spare ticket/s they want to sell, please let me know. cheers

dont do it
