I must say, it was nice to actually read through a thread with some nice sentiments & polite conversation (& random geographical facts re: levels) without politics & descending into petty arguments by the usual baiters.

 

The thread was about Oldham tickets so perhaps the title put off those computer desk wind up merchants that pretend to watch the games, but still. Nice to read a bit of nostalgia from some of the good old boys! Warmed my heart a bit although maybe I'm getting a bit sentimental in my old age.

 

The club start winning away, defending set pieces, hit the positive points tally, receive tremendous support, bang in a dozen goals (many from open play) in our last 4 games, string together a run of results that have us top of the Soccer am League One table & now we're having threads that actually cheer you up after reading (rather than frustrate with barbed comments & bizarre, fickle opinion)...whatever happened to raise the happiness level on this forum & quash some of the inane apathy?!

 

Wonders will never cease! This Swiss gang & Pardew assemble really are very good aren't they! ;0)

 

Oh, off topic slightly so apologies. I can't make Oldham but have my tickets for Orient. 2500 Saints fans & a day out in the big smoke...can't wait!!

 

 

 

 

 

[i know it's not rocket science but paying attention & respecting the hordes of your loyal paying customers, diligent actions & researched decisions combined with a balanced & wise manager & coaching team (with experience of the appropriate level) buying a few key players alongside wise free transfers & keeping hold of the emerging stars we've developed (without selling them at the first sniff of an offer)... Well, it's what we've been praying & wishing for for years! It just seemed common sense deluded anyone who stepped inside the SFC boardroom in recent years!] ;0)

Where does 'up north' start and therefore defining where the country disappears into a **** hole??? I would suggest Didcot as that is where I have been working for the last three years and that is one hel lof a dump!I am currently in Dudley which re defines the ass hole of the world!... and take it from me I have seen some ****e places. I lived in Stoke for three years....and yes it is pretty near the rim! ... Althought I thought Carlisle was probably somewhere near the rids.

Of course not!!! My first hse there when I was a baby 1956-58!!Think it is a Chinese rest now just as you come off the ferry. Dover Road??

 

No taken from Egypt point!!

 

'Thrippleton's' meat pies. famous through out the Island. A real bag filler for a trip to Oldham. And a flask of Crowleys Alton Bitter to wash it down.

Think the shop remained as a conventional cafe before the Orientals moved in to the 'Jade Garden'

The lowest league ground is Grimsby's Blundell Park (actually in nearby Cleethorpes) which is two metres above sea level.

 

No. Stadium Name Home To Height (feet)

1 Blundell Park Grimsby Town 2

2 St Marys Southampton 3

3 KC Stadium Hull City 6

4 The Deva Stadium Chester City 16

=5 Portman Road Ipswich Town 17

=5 Carrow Road Norwich City 17

7 York Street Boston United 18

8 The New Den Millwall 19

We're second in the league!!!

 

Note it says feet, not yards or Mtrs. If the Ice caps melt, we're buggared!!

totally agree with stipulated shyt holes, but as someone who has lived in derbyshire for 17 yrs I can see that there are good and bad places in north and south (and even within counties themselves, just in different ways. I wouldnt consider Portsmouth to be a nice city any more than I would Barnsley or Stoke. I actually enjoy going to the utter carp stadiums sometimes. Should try to enjoy them whilst down there if you can as we wont be there for long!

Should be a fun day out - wrap up warm it's gonna be a cold damp one!

 

Not sure what pub will be the first port of call - but I can taste that first pint already!

I'm getting really really ****ed off this season missing some cracking away holes which in previous seasons I'd have gone to. Can anyone lend me about £1,000? You can't get f'ing anywhere on Incapacity Benefit and the thought of Carlisle, Oldham and Hartlepool would be a must in the past.

 

My nephew up in Sunderland and I'm determined to make Hartlepool to see him and Saints at least. Did I mention would anyone lend me about £10,000?

one of the few matches i can make being in merseyside. If anyone has spare tickets will gladdly pay. Need two together if poss? can meet up on the day.

 

I think I have one spare, tickets are unreserved, tickets on day cost £2 more, I'll be at ground around 2.45 if anyone interested or Picadilly Station at 11.08 with the rest of London Saints

That's more like it.

 

That was yesterday morning. Thursdays & Todays sales combined with people buying on the day, I think we will have close to 1000 which is good
