Jimmy_D Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 Return flight out to Orlando: £1600. 21 Day Disney Ticket: £275. Mobile Data Charges: £5 per megabyte. Being in the Hollywood Studios park, in a Saints kit, and running into a dyed in the wool, been a fan all his life, fully decked out in kit, supporter from Leeds: Priceless. Having a random person see me in my Saints shirt and come up to me to make sure I knew what the score had been: Also priceless. What a start to the season we've had! Kind of feels like I've returned to a parallel universe where England are suddenly good at Cricket and Saints are on a 10 league game winning streak, but I'm not going to complain Sounds like we should have been wrapping games up a bit more comfortably than we have been, but the luck has helped us out with that so far. Hopefully we can improve on our closing out of games so we don't need so much luck. It safe to say that hopes, and even expectations to a certain extent, have been raised a fair bit by our start!
Barry the Badger Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 I take it you've not been following cricket these last 5 years then.
ART Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 Indeed what a start to the season. For myself it's double joy seeing local team Montpellier 2 points clear at the Top of the French Ligue. I'd like to point out that both Montpellier and Saints were previously relegated together. Onwards and upwards.
The9 Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 £1600 for a return flight to Orlando ? I hope there are 4 of you.
Pancake Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 21 days at Disney - are you mad (yet)? This. £1600 for a return flight to Orlando ? I hope there are 4 of you. And this. What the very ****ery ****?
Stattmeister Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 I used to live there. Loved seeing the odd saints fan around. John and co run the Cricketers (used to be on I-drive but I think it's moved?), they're all Chelsea but gave me muchos respect for being Red and White!
This Charming Man Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 I'll be stuck at the Turkish/Bulgarian border when we play Lesta on Saturday. May grab a guards AK-47 and let off a few victory shots, should we win.
Jimmy_D Posted 24 August, 2011 Author Posted 24 August, 2011 21 days at Disney - are you mad (yet)? Heh, very slightly, more down to the heat than anything, but I'm a fan of roller coasters, so... I also went on the Skycoaster: £1600 for a return flight to Orlando ? I hope there are 4 of you. I couldn't remember the price off hand, it was all booked years ago. I just looked up a quick price for if I was going at short notice for the benefit of the mastercard ad style post. I take it you've not been following cricket these last 5 years then. Indeed I have I've loved every minute of our rise, and 'tis slightly annoying that I missed the moment we made it to the top. Of course the challenge now is to stay there during our away tours coming up, to see if we can end up being remembered as one of the great teams in history. Back to Saints, I just hope me coming back won't change our fortunes, because it'd be bloody expensive to get back out there! Hopefully we'll be able to combine this good start with our ususal route of improving as the season progresses.
Block 5 Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 I don't give a toss where you went on holiday. I won't be going anywhere this year because I have cancer of the anus as result of being shafted by David Cameron's big society.

When wearing my Ricky Lambert t shirt with No.7 on back at Universal in Florida last summer, first I met a Leeds fan (there not all bad) who assured me that Saints would get promoted last season, then met into a a woman from Liverpool and her family in hour long queue for Harry Potter ride, who assured me that her son was one of Ricky's best mates. Also met several other Saints fans in kit in Disney

Ziggy Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 Just got back from Majorca and there were loads of Saints fans there - all with big broad grins!
Saint Nicholas Posted 25 August, 2011 Posted 25 August, 2011 Just got back from Lanzerote. The Pool man was there one day, when my lad came down wareing his new Saints home shirt. Pool man says "did they give you that shirt free?" Nipper says, "No dad paid £52 pounds for it. Why, who do you support?" Pool man says "Ipswich" Lad says "12 goals in 2 games, I'd shut up if I were you". I pizzed myself. Good Lad!
