JRM Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 This is what my mate just put on facebook..he's just got back. What can I say an experience I will never forget! Cortese took my phone from me too look at the pictures of us lads at the training ground that day at Plymouth and when i asked my first question he said he recognised me thats y i showed him and he said thats it! Pure legend, who has amazing ambition and determination for the club! Doesn't like forecast (thankgod) Has handed plans to the council to exstend the ground too 44k has a player in mind for when the transfer window opens. Tells people to just 'not get caught if you use someone else's ST' his words! Told us poyet was just bitter and jelous of Adkins because he got the job and poyet didn't. Sorting out the Internet page next year hopefully when contract ends. Is going to sign hooverfield permanent in jan. Rumours of Owen are rubbish. Never put in a bid of 6.5 for roddreguiz cos he's not worth that. Sad chamberlain left but was family persuasion. Got in contact to Plymouth chairman to try buy every saints fan at plymouth a beer last season but Plymouth said no and he argued it and they wouldn't allow it. Great guy! i think your mate is plssed. buy every one a beer at Plymouth? he could have offered us all a away ticket with no booking fee, that would have been better. if he has handed plans to the council they would almost certainly become public, either through leaking or consultation they would do with the local area looking at impact of higher ground, why drop that into discussion rather than officially declare clubs plan to increase stadium. what is this training ground in Plymouth that cortese recognised him from? strange. all in all the summary sums up how the hearsay reporting back from these dinners is more or less pointless. how does cortese know Poyet was "bitter and jealous" ? he doesn't know anymore than we do about that and what Poyet thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 What does handing some plans to the council prove? That 44k is the capacity he feels Saints can achieve in terms of support. Also, "plans" don't come cheap, he would have paid an architect firm a great deal of money for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 Really hope we don't build a new stadium since it would be at a terrible location. Agree with this. Would like us to give a bit more of a unique feel to St. Mary's. It lacks that so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 (edited) Really hope we don't build a new stadium since it would be at a terrible location. iirc the architect that did the youtube video of St Mary's expanded said that they considered moving to a new stadium in Shamrock Quay. If true then it really isn't that far in terms of distance from where it is now. Edited 17 November, 2011 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 and what does he mean do not get caught if you use someone elses season ticket? you are allowed to, that is why you can upgrade a childs season ticket to an adult, for that very reason, someone else is using it. i struggle to see the purpose of him divulging bits of information to half wit fans who are too excited about cortese recognising him from a training ground in Plymouth to contructively summarise what he actually means, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think that's pretty self-evident No reason to think the guy is lying - even if one or two of the details may not be perfectly or accurately recollected; I believe Cortese said most of this but time will tell what it means. Either the guy is full of sh*t or he's sincere enough but underestimates how complicated football is or his ambitions and ultimately his actions really do outstrip anything we imagine.

aintforever Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 Love Cortese's ambition, we are definitely lucky to have someone like him running the club. All these, "my mate said" is just second hand rumour though, as I said it would be much better if questions were asked at a fans forum and all replies were on the record from the horses mouth. Also, bit of a coincidence that one of the people who got an invite was some happy clappy mong who hangs round the training ground to have pics ytaken with the Chief Exec!

Cortese has spoken before about stadium expansion in interviews. The training ground... Driving back from plymouth the lad and a few friends were driving down a326 and saw the team bus. The turned into staplewood with it and met the players off the bus. Lambert gave them a beer each and they spoke with cortese. There are pictures on a thread on this form. In fact it was me who told this forum about the fan match with ex players the night of the plymouth game, which everyone laughed off... Well that was because cortese had told them about it. Cortese believes poyet is jealous because it was down to him and adkins for who got the saints job. Cortese went for Adkins and Cortese thinks Poyet is bitter about it.

saint-crinny Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 Is the buying the beer story not a gesture from Cortese to try and help out PLymouth as well? Him paying for one beer per Saints supporter is a nice touch to say thanks to Saints fans and celebrate promotion, but also guarantees Plymouth that money. Not much i know, but a nice gesture all the same, considering the financial problems they were having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
