Toadhall Saint

Took the words out of my .......... keyboard.

Very true, very true.

No - I bought my season ticket for no other reason than to support my club.

Also are the BBC not focusing more on the "lower" leagues this season? I'm sure I've seen an advert with all the club mascots running around.

How much does it cost?

Don't think so - thought they left just after the take over. I'm assuming Henderson will revert to the reserve now.

Another peice of the jigsaw and by all accounts a good one.

A true football man and a huge loss - RIP Sir Bobby.

Well said Lordswood - life was different back then (bloody hell I'm sounding old). Football just seemed more........ honest.

LOL

Not overly happy but then again I'd just think back to this past few months and think - Christ what am I moaning about.

50 - are my expectations too high?

Funny this - I was only thinking about this yesterday! For me the greatest time of supporting Saints ie, they gave me as much as I gave them was circa 75 (I was 9) until probably about 2003 (not far off 30 years). The players that played for us in that time were some of the greatest players that had graced English football - the sides were littered with internationals and those IMHO that would have not been far off - truely halcion days for a Saints supporter. There are the obvious players (in no order of greatness) Channon, Keegan, Ball, Steve Williams, MLT etc but the others that truely played apart - Graham Baker, Mark Wright, Joe Jordan (yeah I know he was a skate but what a Centre Forward), Rod & Danny Wallace, Armstrong, Mark Wright, Ivan Golac, Jimmy Case, well the list goes on and I know I've missed loads! How to reconcile those with the ones of more recent years - I can't really, the game was different then - tough tackling midfielders, only one sub allowed, offside rule different, player fitness, pitches (they haven't always been like snooker tables) and obviously the money players are paid etc. I'm just glad I had the chance to see and yes adore the above players. I totally beleive that we will rise again and future generations of Saints fans will get to see a better calibre of player playing in the great red & white. The last few years have been hell on earth but you can only appreciate the good if you have felt the bad. All things considered tho' I still feel privileged - just watching one game with MLT in his pomp and never knowing what he was going to do next - priceless.

.+1

Neither do I as we will sell if we get an offer - the sticking point and the reason they have not moved on has been their (high) wage demands IMHO.

Beacause he wanted to see his mate before??

Things will happen when they happen - I'm sure, nay convinced that AP etc are working on the playing side of things but it's not like going to Tesco's to buy a tin of beans.

Agreed Stevo - lets build our foundations on stone and not sand. It takes time to build those foundations and from what I've read and the actions so far that seems to be happening. We've all suffered from hasty decisions being made about SFC in the past.

Its amazing how many people must have missed that part of the overall statement.

Mods sticky please!

I think you would love that.

Apparently so - personally I think it was to catch up with Murty as he was playing in his testimonial I believe.

Pity really but there you go. If he doesn't want to play for Saints then he can go and go now.

If you look at his personal worth and then just put an assumed interest on in just one year I think you'll find that what he has spent already is small beer.
