dronskisaint Posted 13 November, 2010 Share Posted 13 November, 2010 I think there is far too much being read in to all this by some....when MLT & various cohorts have done shows in the past nobody has dreamt up agendas, rifts...it's all about making money (whether for charity, individuals or whatever cause) by providing entertainment for those who want to buy a ticket. Noone is forced to buy these..there may well be a few of thes events in different formats so you can pick & choose. I quite like Mike Osman & where else can you get a comedic host who is a fervent Saints fan? I'm happy to wallow in nostalgia, clap & cheer players who have given me huge pleasure in the past, laugh at the anecdotes & probably shed a tear for Legless Bobby Stokes & that goal. This is the recipe for a good evening in my book so I'm going...simples (as Devon people say too often!) The new shirt is great..good marketing & marking occasions go hand in hand if the person running the club/company/marketing is doing their job properly.

sainthomer Posted 13 November, 2010 Share Posted 13 November, 2010 Im looking forward to going.

up and away Posted 15 November, 2010 Share Posted 15 November, 2010 Originally Posted by benjii TBF, I think the shirt was a clever marketing idea and I'm all in support of clever marketing ideas.

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. I don't even remember Cortese claiming it was a generous donation, I would imagine this was Markus's idea. All been kept very low key. What it does scotch is the ludicrous idea that this was all done for the profit on shirt sales. If you wanted to make money, keep the old shirt and have sponsorship on it!

Lord Duckhunter Posted 9 February, 2011 Share Posted 9 February, 2011 All joking aside perhaps Rupert should be invited. Move from The Dell, 2003 Cup Final. I hate the bloke but the one thing that's nagging away at me with these celebrations is that it's going to be Lawrie, Osman ect's take on the history of the club. If it was an evening celebrating Lawrie and his acheivements I would be there, but this is advertised as a celebration at the whole history of the club and should include Pre Lawrie, Lowe and the part that ML & NC played in ensuring it's survival. Of course there will be jokes about Lowe and proberly NC as well, but I hope it's a balanced evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cortese cult in full effect. Shall we wait and see if any of the current squad or manager go first? 'not aware of any ban' is pretty lame spin you're swallowing there. Just put Rupert Lowe as the person aggressively distancing himself and the club from its own history. How much would you be tossing yourself off in joy then? Le Tiss packed it in a decade ago and could fill the mayflower by himself. Let's see in 2021 who would go to an evening with the greasy spiv you seem to hero worship.
