Colinjb Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 The more I see how the club are operating right now, the more I can only think of one word to describe it. Dignified. Not cocky, not in your face, not dismissive but just plain classy and with a greater degree of dignity then could have ever been expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleysfc Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 How do they know which fans were ever-present at St Mary's this season?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 (edited) How do they know which fans were ever-present at St Mary's this season?? By having a ST (which doesn't mean non ST couldn't have been ever-present) but the article seems to suggest that the critera is a ST.

Soton7 Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 Sounds like a c ock waving statement. Every fan wants to be there but unfortuantely this is a closed door ever only apart from 50 lucky winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 Would be a better event If they had the players on the pitch doing 'The cross bar challenge' chip in the bucket (Golf) soccer skills knockout where the fans vote the best and maybe a charity match between the squad to entertain us with some show boating. I would be pretty sure you would get thousands of fans coming for that on top of the trophy being presented and a video showing the season highlights. Just my thoughts.

Nexstar Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 I know loads of people that couldn't afford to pay such large amounts for a st but can afford £30 every other week So they went to the same number of games at season ticket holders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 I know loads of people that couldn't afford to pay such large amounts for a st but can afford £30 every other week So why didnt they get a 0% credit card and pay that off and get a number of games free??

Stepgar Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 The more I see how the club are operating right now, the more I can only think of one word to describe it. Dignified. Not cocky, not in your face, not dismissive but just plain classy and with a greater degree of dignity then could have ever been expected. Completely agree, brilliant show of dignity and respect to ALL the staff there whether it be playing staff of the toilet cleaner, they get to go. Celebrate it as a family should do and with the lottery of 50 lucky fans as well. Love it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cocky, not in your face, not dismissive but just plain classy and with a greater degree of dignity then could have ever been expected. I think if the plan is to pack in 45,000 people in the Cortesedome for a Tuesday game against Bolton then a parade for the whole city would actually be a good PR exercise for the tens of thousands of potential fans. Since when does a football team getting promoted require a dignified response? Have you ever met any football fans? It ain't Sadlers Wells mush.

Liquidshokk Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 i know a LOT of stewards who work for SFC.......none of them have had invitations!..............(and before anyone asks, yes they ARE employed directly by SFC)...... I think only full time employees get invited to events. I know a part timer for the club directly who doesn't get to go to anything. Guess stewards are classed as part time?!

doddisalegend Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Assuming I'm one of the lucky 50 I think it's a great idea.......If I'm not invited I think it's a crap idea and we should have had an open top bus around Southampton finishing with 1/2 a million saints fans partying on the common....

Since when does a football team getting promoted require a dignified response? Have you ever met any football fans? It ain't Sadlers Wells mush. Totally agree, plus they'd be able to flog a load of cheap t-shirts and flags. Kids especially love this sort of thing and it would be memorable event for them to cement them as Saints supporters.
