djharvey Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 In the iplayer video of celebration's in the dressing room the team started to sing we're all going to vegas. Is Cortese taking them all on a celebration trip and didn't they do this last season also? Bl**dy well earned it if so!

Is Cortese taking them all on a celebration trip and didn't they do this last season also? Bl**dy well earned it if so! It could be, or could be in relation to Fat Sam saying that he was going to be in Vegas on Play-Off Final day and had no intention of cancelling (ie. he expected to go up automatically)...

Big_Bald_Si Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 I reckon it's just a scary coincidence and they've all booked holidays to Vegas. What are the chances?
beatlesaint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 I expect Cortese half jokingly told them they could have another trip back there if they got promoted this season too
paulwantsapint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 NC & NA will be taking the squad to Vegas Fat Sam will be there after west ham lose out in play offs Saints will help west ham out of financial ruin after they blow another fortune on bad gambles by taking a player or 2 off their hands
Fan The Flames Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 It was Lagos, NA met a Nigerian Prince on the internet who is going to turn their promotion bonus into millions and put on a guard of honour in Lagos when they come to collect it.
beavis17 Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Jack Cork @jackcork1 It's such a good feeling when you don't expect something but it happens! Did not think my passport would get sorted in time. #Vegas
beavis17 Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Wasn't big fat sam supposed to be going to Vegas? He still will be lose when they lose to Cardiff.

Turkish Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Cortese promised them a few weeks ago if they went up he'd take them to Vegas again, so yes they are. Cue stalkers hanging around airports hoping to catch a glimpse.
This Charming Man Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 The fun you could have in Vegas on a professional footballers wage... Chucking $1000 chips around, a load of brasses on the go, VIP tables, all the booze you can drink and all the gear you can sniff. No better way to celebrate.
ottery st mary Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Fat Sam is not going to Vegas..... He is still going on the River Boat disco shuffle on the Thames.. with the team and the fans to celebrate their automatic promotion.. Maybe they could sell all their tickets to tourists at half price..

Put it this way I saw more smiles at a funeral. :-)

Ken Tone Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I expect Cortese half jokingly told them they could have another trip back there if they got promoted this season too I heard he later explained he meant he'd take them all on a coach trip to see Johnny Vegas at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Genk Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I'm chuffed for Corky that he has got his passport sorted! He's been worried all week, but can celebrate properly with the rest of the lads now!
Thedelldays Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 think of old jos....he has gone "home" (where ever that is) and his old man has got him digging up the garden
david in sweden Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 It was Lagos, NA met a Nigerian Prince on the internet who is going to turn their promotion bonus into millions and put on a guard of honour in Lagos when they come to collect it. I hope he sussed that one. This "invitation" sounds like a variation of the notorius Nigeria letter. They claim to have a fortune that they will share with you, but when/if you turn up to collect it.. you are kidnapped and held to ransom . A polite NO is in order Nigel !.
niceandfriendly Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I miss all those emails promising me riches beyond my wildest dreams with wonderful Pigeon English grammar and spelling mistakes and good solid made up names. Bloody spelling and grammar mistakes, eh?
ericofarabia Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Bloody spelling and grammar mistakes, eh? I was just giving an example - well done 10 out of 10 for being the 1st to spot it
mancsaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I went to Vegas in 1992 and planned 3 days there, left after one day. See one casino and you've seen them all. Also went there at the formation of North American Saints, great company crap venue. Mancsaint

Whitey Grandad Posted 3 May, 2012 Posted 3 May, 2012 I went to Vegas in 1992 and planned 3 days there, left after one day. See one casino and you've seen them all. Also went there at the formation of North American Saints, great company crap venue. Mancsaint I was there for three nights in the early eighties. We had a spare day at the end of the exhibition so two of us hired a car and drove to the Grand Canyon and back in a day. I'd have liked to have gone to the painted desert but didn't have enough time.
kpturner Posted 4 May, 2012 Posted 4 May, 2012 Rumour at the awards dinner tonight is that Cortese has cancelled the trip because it got into the public domain - but of course the person who told me could be telling porkies. He has Punch at Forte at his table ATM,

Matthew Le God Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Rumour at the awards dinner tonight is that Cortese has cancelled the trip because it got into the public domain - but of course the person who told me could be telling porkies. He has Punch at Forte at his table ATM, Cancelled. Why? Maybe it got into the public domain. Nonsense. What is the thought process behind cancelling something you were going to do just because it got into the public domain? Same applies to what some people have said about transfers and Cortese, yes they would prefer transfers not to "go public", but why does that mean you cancel them completely? Makes little sense. In any case, scenes after the Coventry game in the changing room on the BBC of the players all chanting "we're all going to Vegas" was quite a big clue they were going to Vegas, along with players Tweeting about it!
Saint_clark Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 What a load of tosh. The rumour that Cortese cancelled it, that is.
Sour Mash Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Nonsense. What is the thought process behind cancelling something you were going to do just because it got into the public domain?

In any case, scenes after the Coventry game in the changing room on the BBC of the players all chanting "we're all going to Vegas" was quite a big clue they were going to Vegas, along with players Tweeting about it! Exactly. Clearly a stupid rumour amongst the fans or at best a p**s take by whichever player told them that.

Still, you clearly seem to know much more than them about the whole thing - so we can drop the subject.
WealdSaint Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 (edited) I know absolutly nothing about what is going on. However, anybody who has ever tried to organise a works "do", will tell you that sometimes these things just don't happen because you can't get gaps in everybodies diarys. Either that or you leave several people behind which leads to the rumours of "Player X is leaving the club because he did'nt go to Vagas" wheras he had been to see the specialist to sort his toe out for next season.

kpturner Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Exactly. Clearly a stupid rumour amongst the fans or at best a p**s take by whichever player told them that.Sounds to me like you are just saying what you "want" to be true. Were you there? Did you speak to any of the players? Some of them were definitely putting over negative vibes about the possibility of this trip going ahead - FACT, not rumour amongst fans. Why would the players want to "take the p**s" about it? Maybe they are just feeling pessimistic about it because they haven't heard anything about it since the last game. Who knows.
VectisSaint Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 In any case, scenes after the Coventry game in the changing room on the BBC of the players all chanting "we're all going to Vegas" was quite a big clue they were going to Vegas, along with players Tweeting about it! Have you considered that maybe it was never actually planned, but that the players were goading NC into taking them to Vegas again.
HopperSaint Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Spoke to most of the squad last night and asked them all about Vegas. Almost everyone said they had no idea whether it was going ahead now. Players seemed in the dark. Definitely not booked yet that's for sure. Have to say it was a top top night and all the players were a credit to SFC.
shurlock Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Morgan also mentioned going to vegas in his interview with the French press.
kpturner Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Who actually gives a shyt of they go?Presumably they do.
Sour Mash Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 How much you reckon one of these Vegas trips cost the club? £100k?
