IamLeGod Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Sorry If there are other threads similar, but is everyone else as excited as I am about this season as I am? I don't even care about the -10, or League 1. FINALLY, we have got what looks to be a top drawer management structure in place, and a manager that can genuinely take us back to the Premiership and potentially do a job for us there! The more I think about us getting Pardew, the more convinced I am that this is an inspired appointment!! There does generally seem to be a buzz on about the club, which Pardew is doing well to publicise, as that will surely pass on to the players...hopefully meaning we can take some momentum into the opening run of fixtures!! I cannot remember being soooo excited for the season to start in years, probably since the start of the 2003/04 season, let's just hope this season doesnt flop as much as that!!! COYR!!!
sussexsaint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I cannot remember being soooo excited for the season to start in years Me too which is bonkers when you consider what position we are in - we are starating in the relegation zone of div 3 but I am happier than I have been for years and years
RedAndWhite91 Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Could not agree more, having my first season ticket adds to the excitement, and I am positively buzzing for August 8th!! For the first time in years things actually look positive, and like you said, the -10 points or the League One does not bother me one bit, I cannot wait, I share your excitement, and I'm sure many others do too. COYR indeed!!
Colinjb Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Was quite excited back in 03/04 and 06/07. This however is different, very different. I'm just waiting for something to go wrong!

thorpie the sinner Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I am genuinely excited about being excited again!!!
sussexsaint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I think for one I have confidence in the set up - there is no more Lowe factor and , as yet , the new regime has not put a foot wrong and is making sensible decisions at every turn plus the word Billionaire keeps bubbling on my lips
Colinjb Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 NOOO!!! Be positive!! Just for you mate, i'll try. I've become so cynical since I reached my mid twenties.
Croydon Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Having been through so much with Saints- my optimistic streak has been battered down but I've got to agree, this season is exciting. We have a structure, we have a good manager, we have the makings of a good team, we have a rich but seemingly sensible owner and I've renewed my season ticket so COYR....
Petersfield Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Excited too - tempered by the nagging doubt in the back of mind that this time last season I was genuinely confident of our prospects too, d'oh!! Totally different situation now though; I really think the worst is behind us and we're starting the long climb back to the PL [-o
John B Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Excited too - tempered by the nagging doubt in the back of mind that this time last season I was genuinely confident of our prospects too, d'oh!! Totally different situation now though; I really think the worst is behind us and we're starting the long climb back to the PL [-o We may get to the PL but it depends on how much money the new regime wants to spend.
Ampersound Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Really excited about the new season and I'm looking forward to going through all the emotions that watching Saints play put me through. I think the only thing that will dampen my spirits is that my seat is alittle bit too near the pitch and not so much under cover for when it rains... but as long as we win that damp day.. who cares! :-D
Draino76 Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 You are right to be excited an you are right not to start a thread about it. I may start a thread how I am indifferent to the signing of an Ipswich town reject.

Tac-tics Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 First year off being 18 and able to drive but could'nt get a season ticket due to coaching commitments. Allready brought tickets for Millwall & Brentford. Since the takeover, I have'nt even remembered we start on -10. I genunely think we could win this league STILL. hard to decide if thats my head or my heart telling me that. Roll on the 8th

At the moment the team is not that good but hopefully that will improve a long way to go before we win the league I would have thought
Saints foreva Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I'm excited about the new era, but same cannot be said about the team. We will be in another relegation battle unless some new signings are made (5 or 6)
Tac-tics Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 p.s I only think we can win it with at least 5 players
alpine_saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Looking forward to the Brentford match on the 22/8..
Capel Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Looking forward to the Brentford match on the 22/8.. Same here! Can't get to the Millwall game unfortunately so Brentford is the first game I will see. There are going to be 8 of us to swell the St Mary's faithful!! COYR!
Iowsaintsfan Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Cant wait, dying to start going to games again COYR
sussexsaint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I too am itching to get to the games but I just want a few more newnames and a chance for them to get match fit then I will be screaming those 10 points away away with the rest of you It will be gutting to have won 4 on the trot and only have 2 points but I would settle for that
Draino76 Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Only jokin. I'm one hyped up little ***** me. FACT.
the saint in winchester Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I was excited while sat in the Kingsland on Saturday. Then the game started, and I was more attracted by watching the directors box through the binoculars. That doesn't mean to say that I won't be excited come Aug 8, after AP has got a team together and fit for purpose. Come on!
eurosaint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Like the rest of you I am happy that we are in a better situation now in terms of ownership, structure, finances etc, etc... Just one word of warning however : If we lose to Millwall (yes, it is perfectly possible!) a new sense of perspective will need to to be adopted, ie. this ain't gonna be a cakewalk and may take a while with many ups and downs along the way ! Personally I am confident that we are on the up but realistically we have a long way to go before believing that we have an 'all conquering', title chasing squad !! Having followed the Saints for more years than I care to remember, I advise caution against overly high expectations and undue optimism !!!
IamLeGod Posted 21 July, 2009 Author Posted 21 July, 2009 Just for you mate, i'll try. I've become so cynical since I reached my mid twenties. Good Lad!! I can feel that creeping in...hit the big 2-0 this year!! WE should all be positive this is an exciting time for the club!!
kpturner Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 It is a shame that pre-season excitement and optimism always has to give way to reality once the first game is twenty minutes old ;-)
kpturner Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 mate im getting old!Too old for your nappy perhaps :-)
IamLeGod Posted 21 July, 2009 Author Posted 21 July, 2009 (edited) Nah man i mastered the potty aged 16, mummy was so proud Edited 21 July, 2009 by IamLeGod no need for two man's really

Having followed the Saints for more years than I care to remember, I advise caution against overly high expectations and undue optimism !!! Booooooooooooo!!! No more negativity!!! I never mentioned winning the league or even promotion/playoffs. Just Generally excited for what looks like it could be a truely positive period of history for the club. Ofcourse there will be ups and downs, but in comparison to the last 5 years...things are certainly looking miles better!
Stax Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 This is the most excited i have EVER been about saints. We have a billionaire owner who is in it for the long haul, yes we are in Div 3 on minus 10 but im sure now that one day we will be back in the prem! minus Mr Lowe how good is that.

We are gonna be in some dark places this season - especially at the start, do don't get carried away just yet.

I said "personally I think that we are on the up", surely that is not negative ?? Nobody wants success for the Saints more than me ! On this thread there is a general display of wild optimism which could easily result in an 'over the top' adverse reaction if things go wrong early in the season, that's the only cautionary point that I'm making but please don't let me spoil the party !
