[/img] Ted Bates (RIP) receiving Terry Paine's 1st England Cap, on behalf of SFC. I was delighted to be Tels guest that day.

Joe, with Krakens help, I have posted some on post No 62.

I can see my old house in Burlington Road in the 2nd picture above!

Yes, with further help from Kraken. Thanks

Many thanks for your help!

Trying to upload photo. Sorry. I'm having a real senior moment, trying to upload some photos of SMS during construction. I think it better to view in my (new) photobucket Saints album. (If anyone is interested). http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd494/NormanB14/

Yes, Joe. I have two albums of photos of the stadium site pre, during and on completion. I have thought about putting them on Fleabay as I'm clearing out loft/drawers. I might try to scan one or two and put on here.

Wrong! Ride mine often. From Top of Hill Lane down to Town Quay (stop for coffee and cake) and then back home via Cowherds (stop for a 'Lemonade' ). Do that with my grandson 2-3 Sundays a month. Back to the students promotion, good luck to them, I'm just jealous.

We also have a massive Senior Citizen population, get a small percentage of that at St Marys and you're looking at seriously big numbers... I got my £15 ticket yesterday (plus an under 17 @ £10) and didn't get the offer of two free beers! Perhaps they knew that I like Single Malt? I'm all in favour of promotions to boost numbers but so long as I'm included!

Some of the 'oldies' will be able to put names to faces of this squad.

Thank you.

I have a Saints photo on Photobucket. How do I add it to the forum, please?

I really enjoyed today. We outplayed Boro and could have had 5! Chaplow was superb and RL bossed the line. Well done, Saints and NA!

Thanks for posting! No use to me, as I shall be in Block 20, but I'm sure it will be great for others unable to go today. I'm 'Billy No Mates' today as grandson is going to a b/day party paintballing. Silly boy!

I was there. It seems a lifetime ago.

The Fans

Just back and I wish I had stayed home! Dear Nige, what the f*&% was that? We were dire, the game was dire, Butterfield was dire, Forte was DIRE, the Ref was dire, my burger was dire, Croydon was dire! The only thing that disturbed the Palace keeper all night, was the sight of the legs on the Pom Pom girls! I go to games to be entertained and tonight, I was short changed. The only positive from my wasted journey and wasted 8 hours out of my life, was the Saints support. Roll on Saturday, because if Saints/NA have no respect for the cup game played tonight, the team selection on Sat wil.

From my (big Fat) pension, I paid £30 for three tickets! Plus fuel £20. Eat using Nectar points in Pizza Hut. Two pints of Shandy and one Pepsi, Say £8. So, for £58 I get to enjoy one of my very rare away games with S and Gdson. Not bad for a night out for three! ps, the part about the big fat pension, is bull****!

Going with Son and Grandson. Any tips on where to park, please?

I think you might be getting Luker and Oldknow mixed up. I found DL very helpful.

Happy Birthday! Did you get your bus pass in the post with your birthday cards?

Make both games, HOME fans ONLY! Problems (from both sets of idiots) solved. Stand by for flack.

I was at Eastleigh yesterday afternoon, in the ******ing rain, watchinh my grandson playing football. On the same touchline, were 7 other Saints ST holders. I'm sure this and other commitments accounted for many of the empty seats.

My grandson's team have a 2pm KO. I won't be at SMS. Sod Saints playing on Sundays!

Oh dear! You really are in deep trouble. Don't open the door to callers until this has blown over. Have food delivered and I strongly suggest you look at this website, http://www.perfectapology.com/
