Reminds me of the Smith & Jones sketch, "Guilty of having black curly hair". The bloke was walking slowly, AWAY from the Police, showing no sign of aggression and obviously not doing anything that might be construed as provocative. This was an unprovoked, serious assault, even if his death is unconnected to the fall. Where is the 'barrage of missiles' the protestors were claimed to be 'hurling' at the poor, defenceless, plod ? Dress them up like para-militaries, they will act like para-militaries. Any excuse for a ruck.

Your son comes home, announces he is gay, and his new partner is from Poopey. No, maybe you are right after all.

Glad to be of service.

They are not fish, they are salamanders, and they live in some bl00dy big caves.

How do you get .0662032 Saints fans ? And I'm sure there will be more than 16 others with them

Cumbria is the product of Local Government re-organisation; previously it was the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, with Barrow-in-Furness and the Walney peninsula being in 'God's own' Lancashire. Also, from the ever reliable Wikipedia ( area in km/sq ): 1 North Yorkshire 8,038 2 Cumbria 6,768 3 Devon 6,564 4 Lincolnshire 5,921 5 Norfolk 5,371 6 Northumberland 5,013 7 Suffolk 3,801 8 Hampshire 3,679

The art works are almost entirely in storage, as there is nowhere to display them - so who will miss them ? Also, some would say that for the city to have this amount of money salted away in this manner is itself an obscenity. You also make statements about "a minority of 20,000" residents - the fanbase is much bigger than the number attending SMS, and the impact on the city of the club completely disappearing is likely to be far more detrimental than a few paintings, that nobody gets to see, being deleted from the catalogue.

The fans turned up, the team didn't.

Now you see, that's where your plan falls apart

B0LL0X ! Driving my son home from his band rehearsal last night, he came out with the following : Mark Wotte sees a old woman struggling with a shopping bag. "Are you alright ?" he asks, "Can you manage ?" "P1ss off, you Dutch git." replies the old dear, "You helped cause the mess, you help sort it out." --------------- A child is taken into care after being hit by his father. He turns down a childrens' home and a foster home. "Where do you want to stay then ?" asks the social worker. "At St Mary's Stadium, they don't beat anybody there!". ......................... How true :mad:

Agreed. It would have been nice to go down fighting though.

Football League conspiracy to keep us in the bottom 3 and therefore take the points hit in League 1 next season

Plymouth winning at Blackpool

We should have told the FL we would take the deduction last week.

I think it is safe to assume that Wotte will not be our manager next season.

When he says that 'if we achieve refinancing then my objectives will have been met', it's almost as if administration was his aim all along !

I am afraid I will be a non-attendee, do to a combination of geography and family commitments, but I most certainly DO care :mad:

Why do so many people say thay have been assured by the FL that a deduction does not apply ? ( Most recently at the administrator's press conference ). The one thing that seems certain to me is that it will end up in the courts; either Luton, Barnsley, Plymouth etc complaining we didn't get a deduction, or Saints ( assuming we are still viable in some way, shape, or form ) complaining that the FL reneged on an assurance. As usual the only people gaining will be lawyers.

Is it not that before the cutoff date the deduction is always applied immediately, and after it they hold off to see where you finish before deciding when it will apply ?

If the alternative was to wash the melted mush down the drain, I'd take his offer. Rupe's would hold out for the full amount and find himself knee deep in a raspberry ripple lake without a penny to buy a mop.

Or not willing to place the same inflated value on the club as Rupert ?

And.......where did they go ? ( PS, refer back to Ginge's post on the previous page )

That is inevitable due to to human nature. The current response is purely emotional. The only income any football club can count on is ST sales, everything else is down to individual circumstance; mood, weather, family, finance, work, the reputation and nature of the opposition, the competition being played, etc,etc,etc.

What NC conveniently forgets is that the crowds were not just down due to Rupes, the 'product' on offer has tended to be very lean fare, and the customers voted with their feet when they judged they were not being given 'value for money'. Crowds of 28K would not have got us any more points, our league position is down to Portaloo, and that as much as anything else has impacted the club's finances and chances of garnering investment.

And if we had consistently acheived 28K crowds, would Rupes have understood that this was a show of resistance against him ? LOL The Board knew that having Lowelife back on the scene would antagonise a large part of their customer base, that was a gamble that has now come to it's inevitable, unfortunate, conclusion. The ONLY reason Rupes came back was in desperation to try to maintain some value in his shares, and the reason potential alternative investors were scared away was because of his inflated ego and asking price.
