benjii Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Will David Connolly be there? I, for one, would be interested to hear about the challenge of being the club's best striker whilst being somewhat injury prone.
Gemmel Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 They should get ron down for this. Wait for Tim to come online - he'll know whether Ron is fit for travelling, would be a fantastic effort if we got him over. I'm guessing this isn't an official event - judging by some of the attendees
Lord Duckhunter Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Are we going to have 8 pages of moans because of the Mayflower ticket tax?
Seaford Saint Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 I just booked 2 tickets.....surely its time for big Ron Davies to come across the pond. If its funds you need to make this happen...£100 from me to start things off
Gemmel Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 I wonder what Mr Cortese will make of this. He is very protective of the "Brand"
Thedelldays Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Wait for Tim to come online - he'll know whether Ron is fit for travelling, would be a fantastic effort if we got him over. I'm guessing this isn't an official event - judging by some of the attendees seriously...we should really push the club to get him over IF he is up to it... seriously maybe we as fans could help (money wise) bring him over...I would chuck in a few quid to help

Have they selected a charity yet? And will this be be accompanied by some pyramid scheme or product that we have somehow managed to do without for so long?
KK the 2nd Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Might take the missus as a valentine's treat. Worried about spoiling her somewhat though as I was planning on getting her a new vacuum cleaner for Xmas.
eurosaint Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Might take the missus as a valentine's treat. Worried about spoiling her somewhat though as I was planning on getting her a new vacuum cleaner for Xmas. Looks like she'll have to make do with a dustpan and brush then !
70's Mike Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Is this an official club event or will NC be up in arms?
Toomer Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Is this an official club event or will NC be up in arms? Is that an age thing Mike or just a tad cynical;)
Gemmel Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Is this an official club event or will NC be up in arms? I don't think he will be over happy.
dronskisaint Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 I wonder what Mr Cortese will make of this. He is very protective of the "Brand" I would think that he would know all about it - it's hardly a secret from the world if tickets are on sale (not sure how long they have been so before the OP picked up on it). I would relate it to a golfing day, evening with Lawrie & Le Tiss for Kevin Moore on a bigger scale. On a practical & PR note it would be difficult to disapprove af a charitable function celebrating the life of the club...I'd like to think they would work together on it but that may be optimistic! Interesting too that it will be 126 years in 2011:? NB - I've booked tickets & would happily contribute to a Big Ron air ticket fund (or a general one to get other ex-stars over)
aintforever Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 I wonder what Mr Cortese will make of this. He is very protective of the "Brand" Who gives a **** what he thinks?
NickG Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 worth going to, looked at link and poster - Osgood, Ball and Stokes all lined up.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Going, via a good friend booking a ticket for me. A good night, a few beers, lots of laughs, with some tears for those who can't attend, amid great company. Nothing more to ask for? Maybe we'll be well settled in the top two by then?
dune Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 Might take the missus as a valentine's treat. Worried about spoiling her somewhat though as I was planning on getting her a new vacuum cleaner for Xmas.
Saint_clark Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 (edited) worth going to, looked at link and poster - Osgood, Ball and Stokes all lined up. Erm? Edited 9 November, 2010 by Saint_clark

beatlesaint Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 worth going to, looked at link and poster - Osgood, Ball and Stokes all lined up. Whats the matter with you ? Three guys who all did great things for this club and all died far far too young......... and you get a quick jibe in ? Pathetic.
NickG Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 they're dead? how come they are doing this show?
hamster Posted 8 November, 2010 Posted 8 November, 2010 I wonder what Mr Cortese will make of this. He is very protective of the "Brand" My sources tell me that he is guest of honour and has agreed to match, £ for £, everything that they donate to charity from the proceeds of this event.
Hatch Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 I don't get it. What exactly is going to happen?
benjii Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 TBF, it will probably be fairly tired and cliched but entertaining all the same. Good line-up with Channon, LMc, MLT, Keegan etc.
thegaffer Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 My sources tell me that he is guest of honour and has agreed to match, £ for £, everything that they donate to charity from the proceeds of this event. Sources?
Pokerchampion Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 Who can ever get fed up with the Danny Wallace jokes on a snowy day , and Osgood taking the FA Cup around with him in the back of his car in the town . Im sure some newer material will be around with Keegan and Shearer in town .
Noodles34 Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 booked two balcony boxes, tickets seem to be the same prices?? Never been in those fancy boxes, take along a few customers
itchen Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 It was looking good until I got to the bit " The night will be hosted by Southampton fan Mike Osman who will ensure plenty of laughs along the way." This would be a first. Incidentally, I can't see anything about it being for charity on the Mayflower site. Where have people seen this?
Big John Posted 9 November, 2010 Posted 9 November, 2010 Sources? which bit is incorrect : guest of honour? matching funds raised for charity?
rolosfc Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 Looks like it will be a good night, just before my birthday as well so I may treat myself. 2011 though! Could they not have fitted it in this year??
saint_mears Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 This is the main event of the celebrations as the club have failed to do anything of note. Cortese hates the history side of the club as seen by his actions towards the clubs legends. Slagging them of in the media and renaming the suites and generally treating our history as scum. fook him http://www.mayflower.org.uk/event.asp?show=SFC11

hypochondriac Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 Well I suppose that this explains why the clubs first sashed shirt was chosen for the celebration year then? The cynical among us could suggest that is a good marketing decision.
saint_mears Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 you are free to support another team in the mean time.....you are free to march against cortese with your 10 followers at any time you wish... bye Anyone thats supports the actions of cortese it a total fool and where has this 10 followers rubbish come from ? Expect to read alot more about cortese and what hes been up to at SFC in weeks to come. Delldays you will be eating your words i promise you.

The cynical among us could suggest that is a good marketing decision. That's if you completely over look the fact there is no shirt sponsorship this season. Take that on board and weigh up the financial impact and you are in need of a far different adjective.

There are obvious reasons for that too but I can't be bothered to go into it again as it has been done to death so will leave it there.
aintforever Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 It is a bit off that they are celebrating 125 years of a club that obviously wont let them use their logo. Someone needs to take their head out their ass.

Fowllyd Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 Anyone thats supports the actions of cortese it a total fool and where has this 10 followers rubbish come from ? Expect to read alot more about cortese and what hes been up to at SFC in weeks to come. Delldays you will be eating your words i promise you. Where should we expect to read these revelations? On here? In the press? And, assuming that you know what they will be, why not just tell us all now? Go on, tell us - just what has Cortese been up to?
Dellman Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 He's been up to getting us a top young manager to win football matches, that's what, and its ok by me.
benjii Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 TBF, I think the shirt was a clever marketing idea and I'm all in support of clever marketing ideas. It has sold in droves so clearly people like it or are too stupid not to buy something they don't like in which case they are ripe for a good marketing decision. Frankly, who really gives a **** about a 125 year anniversary? What about 120 years? 130? 135? 128?

Frankly, who really gives a **** about a 125 year anniversary? What about 120 years? 130? 135? 128? I agree. To pretend it was some kind of generous donation because of how deeply Cortese felt about the history of SFC is absurd. No problem with it by the way and actually think it was a good idea, just don't pretend it was something it's not.
Andy_Porter Posted 11 November, 2010 Posted 11 November, 2010 It was looking good until I got to the bit " The night will be hosted by Southampton fan Mike Osman who will ensure plenty of laughs along the way."

Same here, I think I'll probably still go as a mate wants someone to go with. Listening to Mike Osman trying to be funny for a couple of hours won't really be pleasant.
