Third Division South Days

Notice opening shots, of the Walsall game, on Saints Player show LM arriving at SMS signing autographs.

Over the course of the coming season(whether promoted or not) I would expect continual development of the younger players into the team. Before we go out and buy anyone NC will be asking NA whether the younger fringe players are good enough. It may be decided that the likes of Martin. for instance, should be given a good run before dishing out lumps of money on a first choice centre back.

Not too concerned if people wish to leave early(some may have no choice). I know I would rather be there for 89mins than not at all. I find far more annoying that we seem incapable of starting a match on time and it now seems 20mins for half time is the norm(never mind some of the additional time fiction). Strange that the discipline of players and managers is quite rightly under scutiny but officialdum dont have any when it comes to organising the matches.

That's it. Been kicked out because they're too old.

No problem with both paying the price for their actions but I find it ironic they've lost their jobs from the Sky organisation. How many male presenters who work for Sky Sports or News are over 50? How many female presenters are over 30. A display of cleavage also seems to be required. Ageism and Sexism does not appear a problem for the employer.

Sky sources

Sky Sports News announce they are about to broadcast an item which does not actually appear for an hour.

Have you noticed that the first announcement at halftime is the latest score at the match we are all watching. Absolutely pointless.

or he's in the squad for Saturday

6 points against Carlisle & Peterborough and gate could be approaching 30000.

Wonder why holding concerts at St Marys no longer seems to be on the agenda.I know they were stopped when the future of the club was uncertain but would think the revenue generated would be grabbed?

Based on last 6 matches Form Guide Saints top with Brighton 1 point behind.

Wonder if Terry Paine could give them a master class. Scored a few direct, if I remember correctly.

I'm normally in my seat 5 to 10 minutes before KO and even then before thousands of others. I've no wish to eat junk food, drink tasteless keg bitter or indifferent coffee to kill the time. I just can't think why substitude info can't be given to the majority.

They may be announced before I get to the ground but in the two announcements before KO certainly not.

I heard the Saints line up twice before KO but as usual there is no information on whose on the bench. Surely knowing who the substitutes are is of interest as we are constantly being told that football is a squad game.

We may also be seeing a bit more of NAs management style. If you get a chance of first team football(particularly the younger players) and you do well you will continue to be selected.

I would think what we've read on the OS is word for word what the players have been told this morning.

Does anyone know if NA applied for the job or did NC approach him?

and Gordan

It was spin purely for Bournemouth supporters. Not good if it's known that your manager is looking to move on. Remember the attitude to Hoddle when he went to Spurs.

Wished that theory had worked with Sagonowski.

How do I contact Admin re Subscription problem?

Its deteriorating fast because its all so boringly repetitive and has anyone's view of NC been changed -very few- I suspect.

Steve -I coughed up the fiver yesterday with some misgiving. A large number of members of this Forum appear to totally ****ed off with a number of individuals who have who either hijacked or instigate threads with their anti NC obsession. Yes quite rightly its an open Forum but its deteriorating fast.
