Saint Garrett Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 (edited) Picked for Live on BBC. 1pm Sunday. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2404221,00.html Edited 28 July, 2011 by Saint_clark added link
Saint_clark Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Interesting. Won't be as gutted if I miss out on tickets in that case.
This Charming Man Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 How on earth can people be content with watching the Skates on the box? I would be in bits if I wasn't there. On the plus side, hopefully it will mean some of our soft, OAP, please sit down supporters will stay at home.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 They will be pleased that their cup final will be televised, such a shame that this time on an even playing field we will tonk them.
trousers Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 How on earth can people be content with watching the Skates on the box? Because there are more important things in life than going to a game of football per chance? Just a hunch.
Griffo Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Because there are more important things in life than going to a game of football per chance? Just a hunch. Possibly, but this one game is more than a game of football.
Nexstar Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Because there are more important things in life than going to a game of football per chance? Just a hunch. Like sitting at home watching it on BBC One?
Wes Tender Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Great that it will be televised. I sincerely hope that we thrash the cheating bastards and a real bonus if it is witnessed by far more people than otherwise.
Griffo Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Also good because the TV audience will see my flare.
Lets B Avenue Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Also good because the TV audience will see my flare. Are you going to put your leg over the front wall?
Saint Garrett Posted 28 July, 2011 Author Posted 28 July, 2011 Just as long as we dont lose...PLEASE DONT LOSE !!!!!!
JustMike Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Good. Will be MUCH easier to get tickets. bet it wont be!
doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 How on earth can people be content with watching the Skates on the box? I would be in bits if I wasn't there. On the plus side, hopefully it will mean some of our soft, OAP, please sit down supporters will stay at home. Becuase there is no way we will all get tickets, so for all the ones that miss out at least it will be on telly which is better than coming on the SWF while it crashes and burns.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Great. A stinking hangover for work on the Monday.
70's Mike Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 at least the away end has a roof now, but i suppose there is still only one toilet, yes i know the whole ground is a sh*thole,and that small tea bar.
saint_bert Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Booked the monday off work now. I'm doing as many away games as possible before December to hopefully stand a good chance in the likely ballot.
ericofarabia Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 On BBC ? Ummmmm. Not sure how the overseas rights work here in Dubai. The waste of space that is Al Jazeera Sports has the franchaise for The Middle East I believe. They hardly ever publish a schedule in advance and they didn't seem to show half of the Championship or L1 games that were on UK TV last season - so maybe there is a problem with only showing Sky matches .... aaaaarrrgggghhh!!
DJ_TOAST Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Good. Will be MUCH easier to get tickets. Don't think will make any difference really. I usually take following week off work for Xmas so ok on hangover side. Just got to get good few away games under me belt now to be able to get a ticket.
Griffo Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Don't think will make any difference really. I usually take following week off work for Xmas so ok on hangover side. Just got to get good few away games under me belt now to be able to get a ticket. It won't harm anyone's chances, that's for sure. Some people could be tempted to stay at home and watch now it's on TV. Especially with money being tight around christmas time.
Nexstar Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Also good because the TV audience will see my flare. Nexstar likes this. Although, there's not a rat's chance in hell you'll get it in.
Griffo Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Nexstar likes this. Although, there's not a rat's chance in hell you'll get it in. Don't worry, it's all being secretly planned in an underground chamber.
LGTL Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Brighton got 3150 at £30 each. Can't see us getting that many myself.
Johnny Bognor Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Fantastic! It's the daughters' birthdays on the 17th meaning there was no way I could go. Now I can. Lovely jubbly!
niceandfriendly Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Nexstar likes this. Although, there's not a rat's chance in hell you'll get it in. There's every chance he can get it in. The bag checks at SMS are hilarious. It goes a little something like this Steward feels outside of bag. Thinks: "yep, that's a bag". Says: "Thank you enjoy the game". Sometimes they ask you to open it a little but they never move anything around inside. Complete waste of time but excellent for those who want to bring in their own drink.
SO16_Saint Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 My baby will be circa 10 days old - it's first footy match, albeit on tv, will el clasico Hampshire style

Lots of us 'oldies' are STH's and to be 'slurred' in this way is most offensive. Apologise you clown!

saintrich Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Oh great, not allowed time off work in December. Might have to volunteer to work all day Saturday, in return for the Sunday off.
This Charming Man Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Oh great, not allowed time off work in December. Might have to volunteer to work all day Saturday, in return for the Sunday off. There's a reason sick days were invented...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 No. Stay at home. You really are an arrogant, obnoxious, cretin. I have been supporting Saints for 51 years and have been a ST holder for 44. I did my apprenticeship standing in the rain and singing and shouting at away grounds all over the country and Europe and I have earned the right to sit down and enjoy my football without some arsehole telling me that I'm not welcome. Just who the f*ck do you think you are? Bugger off and do one. Prat.
saintrich Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 There's a reason sick days were invented... Seeing as my manager knows I go to every game - I doubt I'd get away with that. I'd also have to hide from the TV cameras, which won't be much fun when we score a 90th min winner and everyone celebrates down the front of the stand.

saint1977 Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 We have to learn from 2005 and pick players that have the character to stand up for themsleves in what is going to be a very hostile atmosphere. Crouch, Antti, both centre halves and the entire midfield bar Quashie bottled it and refused to put their foot in or compete with skates baying for them, only Camara joined Quashie in turning up. Can't see Hammond or Chaplow being intimidated in the middle of the park although we might actually need to calm Morgan down a bit! Rickie can handle himself and Barnard might actually be inspired by the hostility and imagine the celebrations if he scores! Lallana is a much tougher cookie than the talented but lightweight lad of 2-3 years back. The only players that would worry me in that atmosphere are Morgan - but for the opposite reason of him getting too pumped up (if only the 2005 team had that issue...) and Ox-C. Given the latter probably won't be at the club by then anyway I'm feeling quite confident that whatever XI we put out, they won't be fazed by it and hopefully we can put some wrongs at that horrible old rust bowl right.
Thedelldays Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 fair point saint1977..but I just dont see that in this team...should we lose..we will bloody try though.. just cant see the players folding like the team of 2005....this lot have been through so much together

Just who the f*ck do you think you are? Bugger off and do one. Prat. Haha. Calm down. Please refrain from using personal insults to get your point across. You'll only end up with an infraction. Tut tut...

I reckon Hardings the man for the job then. I'm sure he will happily abuse any pompey ball boys that come within range.
This Charming Man Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 I reckon Hardings the man for the job then. I'm sure he will happily abuse any pompey ball boys that come within range. A stern shove of the ball boy into the crowd should crank things up a notch or two.

Um Bongo Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 PERFECT! Couldn't get the saturday off work but the Sunday is Xmas do day.....Smashing the skates and then expensive pints and crap food...good times.

Just who the f*ck do you think you are? Bugger off and do one. Prat. +1. Not exactly my choice of words, but I agree with the sentiment.
Chez Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 I reckon Hardings the man for the job then. I'm sure he will happily abuse any pompey ball boys that come within range. nice. I can just see him jumping into the crowd under the South stand to retrieve a ball for a quick throw and the whole pace going off. Later, when we are looking to waste time he'll smash the ball into the crowd taking out a skate in the process and it will go off again. Unlike Higginbottom in 2005, Harding won't hide. I'm starting to get excited about that game already.
Macey_J2 Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 (edited) Also good because the TV audience will see my flare. And my inflatable skate! Im really hoping i can get a ticket for this, i'm prepared to pay considerable amounts to be there. I cant imagine the bus tour grannies that frequent many away matches will have the appetite for destruction required for a blood thirsty match down the road. COYRS!!!!!!!!!

PhilippineSaint Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Shall we do what Villa fans did at St Andrews? If we left them in that condition it would technically count as an improvement on the existing facilities.
