As an offer from the club, yes. As opposed to just 'taking it': Or: The last two quotes implying that neither of you were actually entitled to claim the young adult ST. Which is why I enquired if scott_saints was just fishing.

Not sure if you are fishing? It's not a shame though, if we want the best for Saints then we have a part to play. Not just in shouting them on at a game but also paying the price at the turnstile. If some skate was ripping their club off by getting cheap tickets when not entitled to then we'd be all over them like a rash, calling them cheats!

I had to laugh at the off camera comment 'Tom? Tom ain't got the strength to hold that!' There is only one Tom on the squad I presume?

Don't tell the Crack Whore that the £7m - £9m was cash we actually had!

It's the last day they are on sale, logically, which would be August 5th. On the first day they were on sale there was a young guy at the kiosk trying to get an U17 ticket. His father was waiting around, the lad looked nervously over and beckoned his dad. The T.O. needed proof that he was U17. However, the lad was 17 the following day. Before the cut off point. Cue the father getting really lairy with the T.O. Refusing to 'understand' and accusing the club of 'scamming' him. The ticket was a present for the lad and Dad didn't see why he had to pay an extra £100 when his Son was purchasing a ticket while he was 16. The manager even tried to explain and in the end the father paid up but not without giving it the large one about 'That's why I don't come down here, faaaackin' scummy club'. While all this was happening security had assembled behind him, and there were more than the normal youngsters stood there! I can understand his chagrin in there not being enough information, he claimed there was nothing in the echo, but he was embarassing the young lad, while providing lots of amusement to the queue.

That is not how you spell syphilis. However Piers, and all the Newscom team, certainly could spread the word!

A bit like I told the guy who bought that stinker of a Ford Escort from me...."yeah, I love it and I'd not be selling it, it's just that I need a bigger car for the family"

During the 70's it was any 'away' club's fans ambitions to outsing the home fans. This could, depending on the visiting team's fans, include 'taking' the away end. The Milton fell into this category sometimes and while there was no segregation the police were sorely tested at times. There were several visits by ManYoo, a couple from Chelsea, a memorable one from the skates (74 I think) and we even had Millwall in there for an Everton game after Millwall had endured a torrid time, the previous (F.A. Cup) weekend up at Goodison Park. The season we were first relegated I recall turning up at the Milton for the Manyoo game only for the Police to turn us away as the Milton was full. We ended up in the East Stand, near the players entrance. Our arrival was met with aggression because the utd fans were almost everywhere for that game. Cue a pitch invasion from the utd fans who swarmed off the Milton to try and help their colleagues under the East Stand. Police dogs and handlers did finally clear the pitch. It was around about then that us Eastleigh lads decided that the Archers was a better place for us. After all, it did save us the bother of the walk that way after the game. Those chocolate boxes were a strange affair and, as previously mentioned, were not all that good for viewing.

mlg?

He is no such thing. That part of a woman has depth and sensitivity.

Hmmmmmmm, I'm wondering what the joke is? All I'm getting is one from last year with the players arriving on bikes and Pardew in the gym?

AaaaaH! I loved Majorca Majorca.

Oh go on, I'll bite. Therefore not a nipple but a t!t ?

Benthelegend became known as Benthebellend if that helps?

Happy Birthday Duncan!

I went down and got STs for my son (U11) and myself on the day they went on sale. They photocopied my son's birth certificate. Yesterday I decided to order our WBA tickets over the phone. At the other end of the line 'John' was mumbling so I asked him to speak up. The line went dead. Make of that what you will. Second attempt. This time a young lady, with a wheezy voice answered. I asked for tickets for my son and I. She asked for my name and address and then I offered my Customer number. She told me it would be £15 plus the admin. I told her it wouldn't be and proceeded to quote the OS to her. She went away and after a minute or so came back and agreed. However, they would need to see proof of age as I was claiming a concession. I told her it would not be needed as they already had it. Again she went away to check, returning a minute or so later to confirm what I had said. Three things come to mind. 1. Is it not easy to put an indication on the PC screen telling them that my son is entitled to a concession? Let's suggest a tick box named 'Proof of age confirmed'. 2. Are the club paid a portion of the telephone charge I incur, thus encouraging the telesales operators to prolong calls? 3. If I get any more of this crap, Monday when I call for ML Cup tickets, I will then always call in for tickets. At least I can then waste their time, if I get fed up with them, by calling the office manager over for a discussion!

I agree, maybe an offer of employment came in that was more of a challenge or floated his boat more than SFC does? There doesn't always have to be chicanery and skullduggery behind someone leaving a job, as some may think.

Thank you Dune

I can imagine the comments in some kitchens in beautiful 'daan taan' Gosport: " Don't worry Tanya, you can stiw'ave yer fags 'n white lightn', cuz wee'r on benefits an don't ave ter pay any cancel tax anyway"

Or Alt + 0128 ( € ) & Alt + 36 ( $ ) work on a UK keyboard, not sure if on an Ameringlish keyboard though. Only enter numbers on Num pad.

Sound advice, they appear to be chancers. In that second photo, if the headlights are 'grainy' then how are they going to prove who was driving or how many visits had occured in that duration of 4 hours?

One of my faves, along with Gilchrist's overhead effort in the 4-1 FA Cup replay win against WBA, '76.

We'd call that relation 'sister' but hey Ho!

I would buy a small parcel of land and it's contents, all from dodgy Russians. Then I would totally obliterate it and turn it into a nature reserve, prohibiting all previous wildlife/webfooted creatures/frequenters from entering said area.
