AndyD Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Unfortunately I can't be there tonight but have been to a 9 or 10 games this season including Pompey twice so I'll be feeling the tension too.On my return from work, I'll be putting my 3 year old girl to bed (hopefully by 7.30pm) as the Mrs is away at Zumba and then I'll be straight to the garage (drinking den) armed with 4 beers, 10 malborough lights and my digital radio. That's my evening planned, just thought it'd be interesting to hear from the fellow radio/saints player listeners? I'm going for 1-3 saints and a West Ham 2-0 win.

SanFranciscoSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 I am at work when the game is being played, so I remote in to my home PC, record the live stream on Saints Player as an MP3, then when both myself and my wife get home from work, we have dinner then play the game. Yes we both jump out of our seats, swear at the ref, curse at Merrington whenever he says a dumb ass comment, and generally have all the highs and lows that everyone else does during a game. The fact I am now an hour north of San Francisco makes no difference at all. My wife (who comes from here), cried after the Reading game (which we watched on tv), and it killed our weekend (as it awlways does if the result does not go our way). Several thousand miles makes no difference to how a lifelong Saints fan (I am now 51) reacts to a game. COYR!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 (edited) I shall be in my study and if it's as cold as yesterday I'll be sitting in front of a big log fire. Snowed again last night,only 10 days ago everybody was in their summer clothes already. Global warming.. my ass. Anyway I shall probably have just the one tinny of Carrefour's finest because I start work pretty early every day, 'bout 4.30 am UK time.

OttawaSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Will tune in from work, but then I will have to go pick up he kids from school and miss the last 20-25 minutes. I hate the tension as I run into the house and look at the laptop screen for the moment of truth. Last week it was...3-1 WTF!?!?!?! Was hoping we'd have gone on from equalising to win the damn game....very nervous for tonight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrey Saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 At work 6 - 8.30 pm, no radio, no internet. Drive home listening to Radio 5Live Extra (thank the Lord for in car DAB radios), switching now and again to Radio London to pick up the WHU score. Hoping Saints are 0-4 up* by half time so I won't cause a road rage/elation incident if/when Posh/Saints score 2nd half. *A man can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be using the school wifi to listen to 5live extra through my phone, and get regular score updates. Got a West Ham fan and a Bristol City fan so I'm expecting a lot of shouting and excitement.

SouthportSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 I will be listening to Saints Player in Southport. If Saints are winning with twenty minutes to go I will switch off and pace around until I'm certain its over. Then I take a deep breath and switch on for the score!

hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Football league regulations concerning live broadcasting no doubt. But if I had a radio I could listen. I don;t get it. Anyone know of a 'back door' method. I can't cope with Sky's Score Centre and messages from mates at the ground are about 10 minutes out of date. When we moved down here I planned to go to quite a few away but the ****ers who promised me plenty of work, leading to a pay rise and ft contract have renaged. We'll be fine but penny's to rub together have been needed for other luxuries like burger puffs and beer recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if everybody could just listen to games on the radio online they couldn't make us pay up for the player network now could they.Guess it brings in a bit of revenue for the clubs especially from those of us who don't live locally and can't get FM reception . At the end of the day it's about money, if you live in the local radio's reception area you can listen for free, if you don't you can't.Simple as that. Can't you get an old tranny to listen with, everyone has a beat up old thing somewhere or an old car radio and a 12 volt battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd_barrett_saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 I'll be listening at home in Buenos Aires, on SaintsPlayer, as usual. Went to a bar to see the Reading game stream on a big screen on Friday with another Saints fan here (posts as Rojiblanco) which was a nice change, but won't go back there now as I'm already convinced the bar is bad luck.

Fwiw, I'll be in a university library, 'working'. You beauty, thanks Ludwig. It's on the 5live EXTRA site though: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5livesportsextra/commentaries/ The main site,5live, has the Reading vs Forest match: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5livesportsextra/commentaries/ It appears that they kick off 15 minutes after us, I like to think that this will inspire the players to put extra pressure on Reading knowing that we are back on top and hopefully they will crumble like a pile if Jenga blocks.
