Guided Missile Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 (edited) ...and with that in mind, I have already blocked the weekend off and have started to make preparations. Being on a Saturday, it'll be best to get settled in a (5 star) London hotel on the Friday night. Following the inevitable victory, staying the Saturday night will be a necessity. Brunch on Sunday and a lazy trip back, dreaming of a trip in 2010/2011 to Fratton to spank the cheating matelots and repeat it at St. Mary's for good measure. I have to be honest, I'm getting a hard on just thinking about it... ...good as the Johnson's Paint Trophy party was, I think this will be the time to go large...very large... ...and if not, an outright promotion the following season...

Guided Missile Posted 15 April, 2010 Author Posted 15 April, 2010 I admire your optimism. You see, I was thinking about that. The problem is that it is far worse to have some cr@ ppy trip booked for that weekend and miss the party than to plan for it and it not to happen. F**k, I want it so much...
ladysaint Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 I know an away ST holder who is getting married that day he never thought when planned we would stand a chance of getting to the play offs being minus 10 at the start, he is really panicking now.

Wedding ceremony at the Green Man, honeymoon in the Championship. Simple really...
scott_saints Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 If it helps, we wont win all 5 games. We're Saints, you should know this.
Sold To The Man @ The Bar Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 Is it a bit early to start the whole ... should season ticket holders get 2 tickets debate ?
Secret Site Agent Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 If it helps, we wont win all 5 games. We're Saints, you should know this. No, we're the NEW saints, we have thrown off the hoodoo of the past.
Born In The 80s Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 If it helps, we wont win all 5 games. We're Saints, you should know this. Correct. When it comes to Saints, i've learnt that being negative is the way forward. Anticipate the worst, and the chances are you'll be right and won't be too disappointed. Get your hopes up and you are setting yourself up for an almighty fall. P.S. Sorry to **** on the parade.
RonManager Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 No, we're the NEW saints, we have thrown off the hoodoo of the past. The NEW Saints are just about to win the Welsh Premiere League. We must be the New New Saints then... :confused:

Get COYR and Illingsworth to organise and throw him a bash
Channon's Sideburns Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 You can book return National Express on that day for £8 from Soton....
Whitey Grandad Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 I have a holiday on that weekend that we booked last year, so I can categorically state that we shall reach the final.
InvictaSaint Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 It's my 39th birthday on the 31st.....would it be cheeky to have an early party.... on the 29th....at Wembley? ;-)

Has somebody hijacked your account? This seems far too positive for the original GM
marc_saint Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 (edited) Me and ten others are due to be going to France that day for a weeks holiday. In fact we'll be in the middle of the Channel so wouldn't even have any radio reception. However...... I have a plan! (If the impossible becomes a reality!) They clear off to France..... I go to Wembley and see us with promotion! :-) After have a couple of beers in central London Train from Victoria to Portsmouth 10:30pm Ferry to Caen getting in at 6am 5 hour train ride leaving Caen at 8am to Rennes via Le Mans The wife then collects me for the hours drive to our house! Easy!! :-) Edited 15 April, 2010 by marc_saint
so22saint Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 We're guaranteed to get to the final - why, because it ruins my wife and I's night away in London seeing Paul Weller, and we're guaranteed to win it as I'm driving to the South of France on the Sunday... Money on it

suewhistle Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 Hmmm, how many can you cram in a Westerly Centaur; they'll not get you as wet as a Sadler... I may have a course to teach on Mondays so it would be a pain getting there and back from Italy. Doing no planning for any trip yet as I think it _highly_ unlikely, but, but GM you bastard, raising the thought!;-)
marc_saint Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 You'll get less wet if you take the ferry across instead of the boat ;-) I knew there was a flaw in my plan! lol
St. Neil Posted 15 April, 2010 Posted 15 April, 2010 No, we're the NEW saints, we have thrown off the hoodoo of the past. "They'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight!"
SoccerMom Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 "They'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight!" Congratulations:D
saint_stevo Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 i am in Newquay that weekend...........train job for me then!
charliegeorgesflymo Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Have to say - France, Newquay, 5* hotels - what a well to do bunch we all are
charliegeorgesflymo Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 actually I've been to Newquay - scratch that
Tac-tics Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Meant to be doing a Pompey in the community funday that weekend!!!!! oh bloody brilliant.
paris Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 I've been quitely thinking about my financial side of all this so i'm also opening up to the idea of getting over to Wembley ... Stranger thing's have happened ...
mancsaint Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Will have to watch Sky Sports 1 HD in Pickwick's Pub, Basel with a large Warteck or six as company.
Pilchards Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Maybe it's best we don't make it as half of you won't make it? As for me, NOTHING stops me!
saint_stevo Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 how long on the train from Newquay to London?
Tac-tics Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 how long on the train from Newquay to London? 5 hours.
dubai_phil Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Stevegrant could become a legend.... The Forum Match is on 27th and had been planned for ages and the trip back had long been booked. Only noticed last week - the co-incidence, or is it Karma Vocano permitting of course
merrimd Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 "They'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight!" I have absolutely no idea why but I read that with a Bill McClaren voice in my head!
Andy_Porter Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Without wanting to jump the gun does anyone know the dates of the play off semi games?

suewhistle Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Have to say - France, Newquay, 5* hotels - what a well to do bunch we all are Ha! Not if you teach English in Italy. Mind you, I do have savings which I'd be prepared to spend for something worthwhile....
Jack Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 While I'm extremely confident that the Huddersfield and Col Utd will drop enough points for us to make it if we get maximum points, I'm not so sure we can do exactly that. I can see us missing out by 2 points. I pray that I'm wrong, and Saints prove us all wrong, for the right reason for once. In Pards we believe.
dubai_phil Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Phew, with the HT score thank heavens I can spend the 29th doing something important like buying Harrods Potted Stilton Cheese rather than drinking copious amounts and singing
alpine_saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Looks like Johnny got it wrong. Ah well, however dark the cloud, it still has a silver lining.
