trousers Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 @jordansibley: Morning all. Some exciting news coming up on the OS at 10am this morning. Before anyone gets in a flap, it's not transfer related! #saintsfc
Pancake Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Im starting to think that Trousers is Sibley... too quick...
Saintjersey Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Portsmouth cease to exist and thus Saints return to the top of the Championship.
Cricketphilly Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 If it's not transfer news, i'm not excited.
This Charming Man Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Season tickets? Cortese is actually a robot? We're buying the Skates and renaming them Southampton B? We're finally expanding the ground to 50,000 such is the demand for tickets? We're going to become a feeder club for Barcelona?
Jack Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Planning permission granted to increase SMS capacity to 55000, to coincide with our push to the Champions League. Fact.
Colinjb Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 We'll flap if we want, we'll flap if we waaaaant. We are Southampton, we'll flap if we want.
This Charming Man Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 We're renaming the ground to 'The Daily Echo Arena'?
Colinjb Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 We're renaming the ground to 'The Daily Echo Arena'? Or the deal with Virgin has finally gone through.
Pamplemousse Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Cortese's naming the stadium after Matt Le Tissier?
Colinjb Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 New sponsorship deal of some sort. Has to be.
supersonic Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 heard vague whispers of the train station deal coming into light...and that the council had approved our planning application to expand SMS I'm probably miles from the truth but that's a rumour I heard
This Charming Man Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Imagine it will be a new contract for someone.
Sour Mash Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 heard vague whispers of the train station deal coming into light...and that the council had approved our planning application to expand SMS I'm probably miles from the truth but that's a rumour I heard No chance.
jawillwill Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Murty joining the back room staff? Or, Murty is the new official Saints Player Commentator for all games.
Mowgli Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 heard vague whispers of the train station deal coming into light...and that the council had approved our planning application to expand SMS I'm probably miles from the truth but that's a rumour I heard Do you not think there would have been a thread on any planning application that may have been submitted?
trousers Posted 22 February, 2012 Author Posted 22 February, 2012 heard vague whispers of the train station deal coming into light...and that the council had approved our planning application to expand SMS I'm probably miles from the truth but that's a rumour I heard in a pub in Winchester per chance...? ;-)
Colinjb Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 in a pub in Winchester per chance...? ;-) On maybe an unrelated tangent, I was discussing 'possibilities' of expansion and the railway station in the Eclipse not long ago. While a little worse for wear though... you understand.
hypochondriac Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 I guarantee it will be one of the least exciting pieces of information of the year so far.
Sour Mash Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 New contract for Adkins. Good shout that, would be a decent buzz to be fair.
Saint-scooby Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 We are all invited to take a poo at SMS and rate the experience
jayrivers Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Could this be related, just saw it on twitter The Football League @football_league Also being announced at 10am is the final shortlist for the @FootballManager Outstanding Managerial Achievement #FLAwards

doddisalegend Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Could this be related, just saw it on twitter The Football League @football_league Also being announced at 10am is the final shortlist for the @FootballManager Outstanding Managerial Achievement #FLAwards I reckon we may have a winner...NA in the shortlist
saints-cris Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Im expecting the word 'exciting' to be used fairly loosely
Pamplemousse Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Yup I reckon this is it, he's taken us from the bottom of League 1 to being on the verge of promotion to the Premier League, nothing short of remarkable and Adkins is definitely worthy of a nomination.
Colinjb Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Rickie and Adam in player of the year nomination.
This Charming Man Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 I would call it good news, rather than "exciting news".
Pancake Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Adam and Rickie up for Player of The Year awards. Nothing to see heee.
trousers Posted 22 February, 2012 Author Posted 22 February, 2012 @jordansibley: Rickie Lambert and @adlallana1 have been nominated for the npower Championship Player of the Year Award - full details on the OS #saintsfc
Appy Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 He reeled you all in again! That's what he is paid for
Lazlo78 Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Not really worth the build-up Not big news but I think it's only fair that they highlight this nomination and I assume it's Sibley's job to motivate people to use the OS. Reading the thread from the beginning, most knew what type of news to expect, so fair play to Sibley for creating a little suspense And congrats to Rickie and Adam!!!
doddisalegend Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 He reeled you all in again! That's what he is paid for I think maybe he should pay trousers some commission then......
Turkish Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 damn, i was hoping for news on the barcode scanners.
Junction 9 Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Why don't they wait until May before doing this?
Lazlo78 Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Why don't they wait until May before doing this? Same reason that FIFA2015 will probably hit the stores soon
trousers Posted 22 February, 2012 Author Posted 22 February, 2012 I think maybe he should pay trousers some commission then...... I'll take £4 for cash
jam Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 heard vague whispers of the train station deal coming into light...and that the council had approved our planning application to expand SMS I'm probably miles from the truth but that's a rumour I heard There was a really good post on here a few years back from someone who seemed to know what s/he was talking about, which explained why having a station alongside St. Mary's was extremely unlikely. I think it boiled down to running an electrified line through to the spur that passes the stadium and lack of room.
farawaysaint Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Am I the only one who thinks it's exciting news?
pingwing Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Good news! Maybe they will get England call ups too...
