Wouldn't a broom cupboard suffice for the radio station, and hospitality without a view of the pitch doesn't make sense. It's probably a Gala bingo hall draw in people from Shirley.

Fan The Flames Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 (edited) Well that stirred the pride I have in the Saints for what they have given us over the last coupe of years, it also tweaks the hope and expectations for our future.

Saint_lambden Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 It had Cortese on it for about 10 seconds. Therefore, I am going to pretend I don't like the bloke or that he is the Dictator of Southampton for attention on forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 The fact of the matter is that we've never had it so good, so think before you jump up and down and criticize how things are done. There's nothing not to like about that video, it's positive and the majority of things in that video are actually happening - so it's not just PR spin.

Turkish Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 Just confirms what I thought in that it is a PR piece and would be a good thing to show potential sponsors or corporate clients. Yes i agree.

It's been sent out to thousands of regular fans though, so I doubt that's the primary motivation. I'd say it's more along the lines of the club building on the feel good factor and communicating their plans for the future with the fans. That's how I see it anyway. I'm pretty sure they have lots of corporate spin which we never see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 ...hospitality without a view of the pitch doesn't make sense. It's probably a Gala bingo hall draw in people from Shirley. Most hospitality in Wembley, Arsenal etc doesn't have a view of the pitch, it's not just about corporate boxes anymore.

I'm pretty sure they have lots of corporate spin which we never see. Sending it to fans is a good bit of PR but IMO the DVD and that PDF file from the other day looks and reads like a device to attract corporate sponsors and for the business community. Again it's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 Not sure... I don't think creating some PR to attract corporate sponsorship is a bad thing (it's actually a good and logical step), but I thought the video itself is a bit overly dramatic. You see?

Turkish Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 You really are a *****, 3 people out of 11 mention the chairman and what they said is true. How i wish i could be a great guy like yourself and be able to resort to calling people *****s on internet mong boards because i dont agree with their opinion on something. As i said there was a lot of good stuff in it, but I felt there was an underlying theme of self congraulation from Cortese, plenty of "what a great guy the chairman is" type quotes. Which IMO is a bit unessasary, he is doing a great job, we dont need it rammed down our throats everytime anyone from the club speaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you at least the people from Shirley (whatever you mean by that) leave their bedroom. With cash converters, Aldi, and the new Gala bingo at the Cortese Dome the worlds their oyster.
