Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 So, out in Waxy O'Conners off Piccadilly Circus on Friday night. When I left, the Missus pointed out someone wearing a Saints coat. I thought fairplay, I'll go over and say hello. It wasn't until I got over there I blurted out "Bloody hell, it's Nick Halling". Anyway, real nice guy, seemed pretty happy to talk Saints and the NFL (my other passion). Also commented on Ed Chamberlain and said he's doing really well now after his illness. Good to see Saints fans all over the place (I also have 3 in my office on Oxford Street). It just goes to show how well supported we are outside Southampton. Anyway, no real point to my e-mail, just thought I'd report back!
krissyboy31 Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 I was thinking during his commentary on Saturday's game "If you're a Walsall fan, now might be a good time to go make a coffee" and thinking that in his head, like mine and everyone else on this website, he was probably saying something like "I might just stay and watch it myself!"

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Author Posted 1 March, 2010 Any of you members of London Saints? Can you play darts? http://www.londonsaints.com No and unfortunately not. May have a look into this though! Cheers!
Channon's Sideburns Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Nick Halling's a nice guy. Used to come into my old office many moons ago, think he lived in Everton at the time.

Saints everywhere in the Smoke!
Kelly Smunt Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Nick Halling was, unfortunately for him, at the Wycombe game last week. Didn't he used to write in the matchday program?
South Londoner Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 I'm over in Victoria; unfortuntately the only Saint in my office. Did see someone in a Saints shirt jogging around Clapham Common a couple of weeks ago.
Hatch Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Make that another one here (am bang on Oxford Circus/Regent St). Saints everywhere in the Smoke! Oxford St / Bond St. I am the only fan in the office.
nathan Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 When Ormerod used to play for us, he always used to make a comment about it on Sky whenever talking about Brett Favre (a famous quarterback for the non NFL fans).
Saint In Exile Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Shepherds Bush for me.... Not seen any other Saints around my office.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Any of you members of London Saints? Can you play darts? http://www.londonsaints.com Oi! If someone volunteers to play they're having your place in the team, not mine!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Oh and I'm representing the Southampton massive in Peckham! And Mile End from time to time.
Rut Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 When Ormerod used to play for us, he always used to make a comment about it on Sky whenever talking about Brett Favre (a famous quarterback for the non NFL fans). He certainly did :-) I remember they came back from a story about a statue being built for Favre. Halling said something like 'that was a bit disappointing, when they said we had a story about the 'Brett statue' I thought it was going to be about one being built for Brett Ormerod'. Whoooosh - totally over the heads of 90% of the people watching. Great stuff. I saw him at a Crewe away game once. He had a poxy Steelers jacket on (he does lose Brownie points for supporting those f******!!!) but anyway - got talking and he'd just driven up there for the day as he hadn't seen Saints there before. Top man.
LA77 Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Is Nick Halling the guy who does the round up on the football league show? Didn't he do our season review DVD's?
SaintDonkey Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 I ran into someone wearing a Saints jacket in the Sobell Leisure centre Friday night (just up the road from the Emirates) said he did some work for Saints. And now I look at pictures of Nick Halling it could have been him... Scouting youngsters for Saints from under Arsenal's noses perhaps

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 I think we should have a London Saintsweb pub session!
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Author Posted 1 March, 2010 I'm over in Victoria; unfortuntately the only Saint in my office. Did see someone in a Saints shirt jogging around Clapham Common a couple of weeks ago. I have a few mates that live on Clapham Common, who are Saints fans. Really could be one of them. If they were mid 20's and tall, it probably was!
South Londoner Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Definately a youngster in a old "Friends Provident" red and white shirt. I had my old "Fly Be" white and grey away shirt on; I gave him and cheerful "Alan Pardew's Red and White Army" to which he responded with the thumbs up !!
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Author Posted 1 March, 2010 I think we should have a London Saintsweb pub session! I agree, completely. Get together for a few pints.
South Londoner Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Plenty of decent pubs in Soho that require a visit !!! I really like the The Ship which is in Wardour Street (I think.)

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Wheatsheaf in London bridge could be a decent shout? Good real ale pub and easy to get to. I feel a plan coming together

And me - on Gt Marlborough St (1 behind oxford street) - W1 Saints! Mental, I reckon we all must be about 100 yards from each other right this second!
theyin Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Brixton based and Soho for work (when there is some), seen one or two R&W's on the Common myself which is strange as it's usually the upturned collar type with cauli ears round those parts. If it happens, make it a real ale joint if at all possible, there's plenty about.
niceandfriendly Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 +1 here, working on the Strand - no other Saints fans spotted here yet.
ericofarabia Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/5034908.Pompey_back_in_the_High_Court/ Surely one of you lot work at HMRC HQ
Deppo Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 It's all quite funny. I still want them to be around, though.
Fan The Flames Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Down on the edge in Dartford Heath, my boss is also a Saints fan. Two of us in a sea of Charlton fans. There are saints fans everywhere.

Pilsmer Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 +1 here, working on the Strand - no other Saints fans spotted here yet. I'm just round the corner in Covent Garden.
zigsdad Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Oh and I'm representing the Southampton massive in Peckham! And Mile End from time to time. Denmark Hill for me! I sometimes see someone cycling north towards Camberwell Green wearing an old Saints shirt (the one from the great escape years)...
eurosaint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 I worked on Oxford Street (at Marble Arch) for about 20 years and never met another Saints fan so we must be on the up !!! COYS
SaintBobby Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Definitely up for a London-based Saints web forum meet up. Based in Clapham, work in Westminster.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 March, 2010 Author Posted 1 March, 2010 Definitely up for a London-based Saints web forum meet up. Based in Clapham, work in Westminster. I know it's short notice, but how's everyone fixed for Friday? Could meet up in Central (somewhere like Waxy's) for a few beverages after work?
maxi_sopez Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Go to Uni in Leeds, but from London. North of the river boy though, will need by stab vest if i go south of the river!
TBone-Tone Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Down on the edge in Dartford Heath, my boss is also a Saints fan. Two of us in a sea of Charlton fans. There are saints fans everywhere. New Eltham for me. Full of Charlton and Millwall.
ManorHouseSaint Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 In Southfields now, but was near Finsbury Park (hence my name!). I work in 'ammersmiff and live with 2 other Saints fans and know of at least 3 other Saints in Streatham, Camberwell and Elephant & Castle. Could probably get a decent London Saints XI for playing games...
Badvoc Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 Make that another one here (am bang on Oxford Circus/Regent St). Saints everywhere in the Smoke! I'm bang on there too. I can see Oxford Circus tube from my window! Where abouts are you? Based in the old Classic FM building (above Benneton) right on the corner of Oxford St/Regents Street. Seems like there are a few of us about in the centre of town. Soton here, Soton there, Soton flippin everywhere!!
Morph Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 +1 here, working on the Strand - no other Saints fans spotted here yet. I'm on Cheapside, City of London EC1. .
ItchenRob Posted 1 March, 2010 Posted 1 March, 2010 I'm in old broad st So am I ! (I assume you mean the London EC2 version !?)
S4INT Posted 2 March, 2010 Posted 2 March, 2010 I'm over in Victoria; unfortuntately the only Saint in my office. Did see someone in a Saints shirt jogging around Clapham Common a couple of weeks ago. I was until recently in Pimlico with all my family - we're all 'London Saints' though I'm now up at Notts. Uni

saint lard Posted 2 March, 2010 Posted 2 March, 2010 I worked in Piccadilly and lived in Finchley then Osterley for about 20 years,often bumped into saints fans surprisingly. Had a few drinks with Kevin Davies when he was with us in the long island tea shop just off from Covent Garden.
Mr Saints Posted 2 March, 2010 Posted 2 March, 2010 I'm on Cheapside, City of London EC1. . I'm not far away at Queen Victoria St. Saints are well represented in my office.
labibs Posted 2 March, 2010 Posted 2 March, 2010 Live in Camden, work just off Euston Rd. Not a single saints fan in my office, sadly a couple of skates though! Next time we're on TV, might be a good idea to all watch it in the same bar or something?
