The investment priorities will probably be on hotels , entertainment, restaurants etc …long before any cash is spent on the stadium !

For the older fans among us . All clubs have had a traditional vocal ‘ end ‘ Pompey have the Fratton as an example. A decent home Northam end will / should definitely improve the atmosphere and can only be positive . Giving away fans 60% if the Northam has only helped our opponents!

This thread bought back many memories from half a century and half a world away ! Especially Haymarket , Warrens pubs Battle in Watts Park - I was a Market Diner Skin .. Ipswich away .. I recall a pre season friendly at Brighton where we took thousands .. all singing along the beachfront. no one mentioned the skin girls of the era . They were formidable led by Pat Lovelock who I dated at one stage until she beat me up ! I remember her kicking in a big male skinhead Palace fan outside Selhurst Park !

What a stupid thread ! Im from Southampton went to Bitterne Park school , worked at Vospers. Dell regular , Milton end went to FA Cup final May 76 , been many times to St Marys. I now live in Perth Western Australia .Does that mean accoring to some dumb idots on here Im not respected anymore as a Saints supporter !

Forgot to mention. On FB there is quite an active Australian saints supporters group !

From Southampon. Raised in the Milton Road end - back in the day Warrens pub etc ! Now based in Perth Australia.Still get to go about 2 homes games most seasons. 🙂

I knew Tony and his deaf mate Dave who used to pull all the birds ! anyone remember the 'ladies' of the early 70s bovver days ! Pat Lovelock ? I went out with her and when I gave her the flick . She kicked me in the goolies and left me laying on the ground in agony outside Woollies in Above Bar !

I'm a Mush and proud of it .Living abroad at present doesn't change that. Great memories of following Saints .Away days at Ipswich , was always good one .I was at Wembley in May 76 . Still have the ticket stub and programme . Got the FA cup winners tattoo on my right upper arm at Zacks after- still have it ! Probably stupid looking back on that ! What I feel is the club will always be at the heart of the supporters. What's really changed for me is the players are now mercenaries with little allegiance to the club. I guess you cant blame them for that .Often living and playing in a foreign place they know nothing about. That's what the mega money has done to the sport at the Premiership level. So yes even I have lost a bit of passion overall. Still love the and have passion for the club but I realise now most of the people on the payroll do not share it .

Deal was agreed on two months ago for RK to go to Everton - good source - We just have to realise the football world see us as a mid tier WBA, Norwich, Coventry, Notts Forrest ,Palace Type of club. That's where we fit in and the world see us. Anyone with talent and ego - player or manager is always looking to reach the next tier Until we invest in upgrading our flat packed stadium I reckon that will always be the case

Posted about 4/5weeks ago - Done deal even then according to my scouse mate who has family connections with Everton !

A local football team mate here living in Perth Australia and a relation of Joe Royal told me two weeks ago Koreman to Everton was a 'done deal ' It will happen -I dismissed it at the time !

Dear All Liebherr do not only make cranes and fridges. I work in the Australian mining industry and they are a massive player in the mechanical shovels ( the huge machines that load the haulpacks ) about 5 Million each and they are starting to get a few haulpac fleets in as well about 3 million for each truck !

Ive made the trip many times - and no publicity but then I only came from Perth a much quicker trip !

They were probably getting confused with that stupid Aussie Oi Oi Oi..!

Sorry , you don't know what your talking about. I've recently been in business meetings regarding supplying Liebherr cranes with tyres I can assure you not one but two of the Liebherr family are very actively involved !

Raised in Southampton. Been supporting Saints since I was five..Now 5 ?...something ! Based in Perth Australia. Still get to around two gamea a season

Yes ..It was Chris Dodson...idiot used to cut his face with a razor to look 'hard' Dated Pat Lovelock for a short while...remember finishing with her and ending up on the deck outside woollies after receiving a hard kick in the crown jewels !

Have not posted in ages..A few names or faces I recall from those days...Vinney, Ossie, Dave Greet, Steve Graves, Snowy, Pat Lovelock, Ally McCloud, ? Dobson who went inside for a nasty crime to name a just few..

Thanks - listening now !

****ed off - saints player not working due to 'inactive account' - yet I have paid them ! Anyway will have to make do with reading the comments on here !

No need for Saints player again this week.Away game vs Skates on pay TV live at 9.00pm way down here in Perth. Just hope the slimly Skate B. have paid their power bill and we stuff em !

I will unfortunately miss this one. However I get to around three home games every season from Perth WA I will be there for the home fixture later this season. Have a good trip and lets hope a for a good win !

Usually listening in at 11.00pm K.O. time on Saints Player.Trying to focus after the pub....Live on pay TV tonight in Perth WA at 8.45 PM ...Normally Premiership games only ...Sweet !

Definitely far more dangerous place to visit during the 70s and 80s.Went to all of them John Milkins testimonial was a test of nerves.We were stuck under the stand Only a couple of hundred of us at at the most.Battered them about 8-0 ! One of our lot still managed to run on to the pitch a take a pompey flag away from one of theirs before the game !
