fletch Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 I like this bit!! "as new chairman Nicola Cortese looks to turn them into the South Coast’s answer to Barcelona" Although it doesn't actually said he has ever said that.
Master Bates Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 "Fans queueing overnight for tickets to the FA Cup game against local rivals Portsmouth were surprised to be greeted at 6.30am yesterday by Cortese carrying trays of coffee." Nice stuff!
thefunkygibbons Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Such a wonderful vibe around the club these days
dronskisaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Sad that they had to put the *****y little bit about the Echo row at the end - I must check for a common ownership link. The Echo for me is just something I used to deliver...used to be, has been...just about sums it up!
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Wouldnt mind being sponsored by Armani, im sure theyve sponsored Italian clubs in the past but TY Beanies can **** off!
miserableoldgit Posted 5 February, 2010 Author Posted 5 February, 2010 Am I tripping? Dunno. Are you then??
GenevaSaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 That article just seems to be a rehash of whats been written on here. Not that I'm unhappy!
Noodles34 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 As a STH I am bit disappointed that non investers into the club were served coffee by NC. Perhaps he is planning to visit us all personally?
jam Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 "Fans queueing overnight for tickets to the FA Cup game against local rivals Portsmouth were surprised to be greeted at 6.30am yesterday by Cortese carrying trays of coffee." Nice stuff! Yeah, I loved that bit. Even if it's just PR, it's a cracking effort. The Barcelona link is a bit lazy though. I imagine Randy Lerner at Villa and the board at West Brom would feel a bit narked when they read that.
Block 5 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Dunno. Are you then?? Possibly. Can you promise me I'm not going to wake up and find Woopert is still running the club and we're playing AFC Totton in the league?
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 As a STH I am bit disappointed that non investers into the club were served coffee by NC. Perhaps he is planning to visit us all personally? Its a charm offensive but just reinforces how you can't please all the people, forward your address to him and you never know !!
miserableoldgit Posted 5 February, 2010 Author Posted 5 February, 2010 Possibly. Can you promise me I'm not going to wake up and find Woopert is still running the club and we're playing AFC Totton in the league? F`sure!
forever a red and white Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 i really really hope we DON'T get something like that. Our tradition red and white stripes, lets keep it
Block 5 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Its a charm offensive but just reinforces how you can't please all the people, forward your address to him and you never know !! Exactly. I did that and NC is currently in my kitchen whipping up some bacon and eggs. While I eat it he is going to read the Daily Express out loud for me.
paris Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Have the Express got offices in Soton now ,that's three articles in one week....
Sold To The Man @ The Bar Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Have the Express got offices in Soton now ,that's three articles in one week.... It looks like the Echo are using the Express as their mouth to the outside world !!
ponto1963 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Stripes or 80's (Patrick) style on the back. would be good
sainter28 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Still managed to have a dig with the last line in the article!!
Channon's Sideburns Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 This article seems like Murray using the Express as a mouthpiece to dig at Cortese...by getting the plans into public domain without using the Echo. Since when have the Express done ANY articles on us..let alone 3 in a week???
greg_hill Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Seriously, people are going to moan about a one off special shirt without a sponsor to commemorate our football heritage? There really is no pleasing some people. I love the one off design and look forward to buying a shirt.Thank you NC.
Sussex Saint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 If it's stripes or a sash I don't care. It's just great to see the club on the move in the right direction again.
Norm Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Sorry if this is already posted somewhere. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/156392/Southampton-to-get-new-strip I hope you had NC's permission to post this. Otherwise you might end up (like the DE) being banned from SMS.

Bakovnetski Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Where is GeckoSaint when you need him for a mock-up?

I never wear Saints stuff to the game but I will buy one of these - still won't wear it mind - it'll stay in the bag.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 "Fans queueing overnight for tickets to the FA Cup game against local rivals Portsmouth were surprised to be greeted at 6.30am yesterday by Cortese carrying trays of coffee." Nice stuff! What's this with trays of coffee? It should be mugs of tea, dammit. We're an English club, not some soft continental cappuccino-sipping fairies.
Gingeletiss Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Where is GeckoSaint when you need him for a mock-up? He's already been busy...see wear a shirt thread.
Gambol2K9 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 This is the actual 1885 kit that next years is said to mimic:
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Would rather have red and white stripes Not really a commemorative shirt of the 125 year anniversary then. It is only for one year. If it is the red sash shirt with no sponsor then I'd be happy.
saint_stevo Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 This is the actual 1885 kit that next years is said to mimic: Doesnt show
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Doesnt show http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/English_Football_League/index.html Find it yourself on here.

once_bitterne Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Hope it is the sah design. Not just because a change will be good but also to see the hysterical reaction that is bound to appear from those fans who seen convinced that Saints have never played in anything other than uniform sized red and white stripes. Red and White IS Southampton, but not necessarily stripes!
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 This article seems like Murray using the Express as a mouthpiece to dig at Cortese... 'dig at Cortese' ?? The chairman is at the club at 0630 with trays of coffee in hand for fans who have queued for tickets !! I bet John Terry wishes the papers would have a dig at him in this same manner.

I bet John Terry wishes the papers would have a dig at him in this same manner. I mean more about the disclosure of the sash shirt...no-one had mentioned that in the press before.

Not just because a change will be good but also to see the hysterical reaction that is bound to appear from those fans who seen convinced that Saints have never played in anything other than uniform sized red and white stripes. Red and White IS Southampton, but not necessarily stripes! +1 The 1980's was Saints most successful decade and Saints didn't have stripes at all between 1980 and 1989. Makes complete sense that a 125 year anniversary with no sponsor should be that of the kit 125 years ago.
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 (edited) From 1885 to 1974 saints did NOT have white socks. From 1885 to 1938 Saints did NOT have black shorts. From 1885 to 1896 and 1980 to 1989 Saints did NOT have red and white stripes. From 1885 to 1974 Saints did NOT have this badge... That is 89 years out of the clubs 125 years WITHOUT that fan designed 1970's badge. Time for a badge redesign Mr Cortese. Those that think the badge has historically always been part of the club need to think again. 36 years out of 125 years is not alot! Edited 5 February, 2010 by Matthew Le God
miserableoldgit Posted 5 February, 2010 Author Posted 5 February, 2010 Didn`t the club bring out a red and white quarted shirt to mark the end of the Dell? Seem to remember that that one was quite well recieved.
