I seem to recollect that a Pompey fan may have died at Fareham Station when a group of Saints fans were on their way to 'visit' Fratton Park for an evening game, not involving Saints, back in the late 1960's This story requires verification but I recollect it being relayed to me by a couple of my schoolmates at the time who didnt really have any interest in football at school but liked to be involved in rucks.

Wolves are apparently looking to sign Che Adams. Him and Arma joint striking force against us next season???

The World Cup seems to be a lot more successful than previously expected. The high price of tickets, flights, accommodation, internal transport etc etc was supposed to result in fairly empty stadia, It doesnt look that way now and the games, so far, seem to have been played in front of near capacity crowds. Can't really understand how so many people, especially from lower ranked nations and those not enjoying a fairly high average income, can turn up for the games. Still I suppose it shows to those staunch supporters of the current US President, that people from outside the 'Greatest Nation on Earth, can turn up, with money in their pocket and smiles on their faces and have a jolly good time.

I have been a season ticket holder for over 30 years. Do I get three bites at the cherry?😇

Can any one of you wippersnappers who have a far better understanding of the modern world than an old fogey like me, advise whether it is still possible to obtain a 'proper' Season Ticket (ie in hard copy not involving one of those App thingies!!) I cant remember how I managed to obtain one last year and there doesnt seem to be an opportunity to request one on the Saints webpage.

I remember seeing the Rolling Stones at the Chargers Stadium in the early 1980's during a visit to family in the area. Really wanted to go to a George Benson show in the centre of the city but the Stones show was an experience. Sat at the top of one of the open stands with an overpowering smell of cannabis. Nice place to live, I imagine.

Perleese!!! Dont demean yourself by using American English. Plenty of proper English such as 'from the beginning'. 'from the outset' etc etc😉

or Van Dieman's Land?

Blimey, Hockey playing Rups has changed since he was Chairman of the mighty Saints!!

The 9-0 shellacking we suffered at SMS against Leicester was really painful. However since then we have apparently sold/loaned/waved good bye to 1 Goalkeeper, 2 defenders, 1 Midfield player plus 2 Managers and a Chief Scout as well as the great 4-3 recovery amongst three wins last season. Leicester must really love us at the moment.

Ceylon is an option😎

At least when the UK is forced to enter into some sort of defensive military action in the future, there will be thousands of young bucks willing to volunteer to transfer their pent up aggression to defend this green and pleasant land against nasty foreigners.

It wont happen overnight. As far as I understand the current Aggregate Companies and others holding the Freehold or Leasehold Properties along the waterfront will need to be 'persuaded' to relocate. This could either mean that their Leases are bought out or the Council are able and prepared to Compulsory Purchase the land. Presuming the Aggregate Companies want to remain in the Southampton area ie relatively close to their Agreements with the Crown Estate to dredge for material in the English Channel, there would need to be a suitable option to store the material. This is why ABP are involved in discussions. I guess there could also be opportunities for the club within the adjacent Central Trading Estate with the land likely to be owned by the Council. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the empty site which burned down prior to the Preston game a couple of years ago.

Does he stock those baseball caps with the peak at the back? I'd pay a bit extra to gain a bit of street cred😎

Bring back Sir Stanley Rous as head of FIFA!!
