Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I went to all three turks with my brother and a mate. MLG please take 6 off your stats as it was just the 3 of us but with 9 tickets. thanks
Turkish Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I went to all three turks with my brother and a mate. MLG please take 6 off your stats as it was just the 3 of us but with 9 tickets. thanks So did I, so that's another one.
Dig Dig Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I think you'll struggle to name many teams that would get over 74,000 people through the turnstiles for 3 games whilst in administration and heading for relegation. Pompey for example will get about 33,000 for 3 games this season. It's all largely the same people coming through the the turnstiles in those situations.
Turkish Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 One thing we dont have is more fans than Everton, who came up with that ****e? have a guess....
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 So did I, so that's another one. If you went to all 3, then he has to take 2 off the stats as it's one person buying 3 tickets (obviously Turkish is a loner). There could be some deaths since then as well, better make allowances for that as well, possibly some new fans have attended their first game, some plastics. This is getting complicated.
Turkish Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 If you went to all 3, then he has to take 2 off the stats as it's one person buying 3 tickets (obviously Turkish is a loner). There could be some deaths since then as well, better make allowances for that as well, possibly some new fans have attended their first game, some plastics. This is getting complicated. IIRC we had about 16,000 season ticket holders that season, If we work off a conservative estimate of 1,500 away fans a game (i know Burnley brought more than that, but to make MLG's figures more acceptable to him) then that leaves us with 21,500 other different fans excluding away fans who could have attended the games. However we do know some people went to all three which needs to be factored in, as well as the people that might have gone to only two of the three. This is all getting very complicated, however it's safe to say that MLGs attracting 74,000 people whilst in admin figure is unsurprisingly massively wide of the mark.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 That's not the funny part, the funny part is that he thinks the skates had over 30,000 different people attending their games! That is just mental.
BadgerBadger Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 The problem is your'e all not producing enough future Saints fans - start now and then they'll be ready to fill the new stadium.............
This Charming Man Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I can't be bothered to read through all the other pages but I would just like to add... hahahaha. What a load of rubbish, will never happen. Now let's not try to get ourselves all worked up like the Skates did with their floating potty. It will make us all look rather silly when it doesn't materialise.
Charlie Wayman Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 In your dreams! What a load of boo-locks! It doesn't even look good and that brown hangar looks like a second world war concrete blockhouse. It's a typical Saints thing 'though, all promise but no delivery.
Saint Garrett Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 In your dreams! What a load of boo-locks! It doesn't even look good and that brown hangar looks like a second world war concrete blockhouse. It's a typical Saints thing 'though, all promise but no delivery. Personally I think it looks awesome. Can't see it happening any time soon, but can't fault the plans personally.
Joensuu Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Wish we had threads dating back to the first St Mary's stadium mockups. Bet the same 'never going to happen' posters were just as prolific, and just as opposed to change. I personally love that the club are thinking big. I love the images, and love the ambition. I find the constant bashing, and wreaking of any infrastructure-improvement threads to be really strange. What do the naysayers get from their negativity?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 They are not really even plans, they are just drawings and artist impressions. Might as well of been whacked up by the 9 or something.

ericb Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Awesome we're going to be able to buy droids from next to the ground, something i've always wanted at a football game. Still they're pretty pictures too look at but anyone that can remember pirelli knows that pretty pictures and a good idea doesn't make a stadium. Oh and nice to see Matt Le Mental (when's he getting his day on the undateables anyway?) back on form with his propoganda
Elias Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Looks like Tom Cruise has let his brother escape again....

And your inference here that St Mary's is as useless to us now as The Dell was to us back then is effing retarded. What do you get from grizzling about what we currently have which is an excellent modern football stadium many clubs would kill for. Get some perspective.

tajjuk Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 They look awesome, they have also clearly been changed since they were first circulated so they are obviosuly being taken seriously. However they are just plans, impressive ones, but still just plans, nothing more. it's good to see the club is thinking big and has ambition. It's amazing they have created 6 pages of 'debate'. Particularly as those pictures mention no stadium seating capacity, yet that seems to be all that has been debated here. They mainly seem to now focus on re-generation of the area surrounding the stadium. Are so many people relectant and so pessimistic that they couldn't see that the area could be re-devloped and that t would benefit the club, the city council and those living in the area?
Joensuu Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Bet they weren't. Why? And your inference here that St Mary's is as useless to us now as The Dell was to us back then is effing retarded. This is not being infered. What do you get from grizzling about what we currently have which is an excellent modern football stadium many clubs would kill for. Get some perspective. No grizzling from me. Simply calling it as I see it. Some posters share the club's ambitions; whereas, the noisy ones who wreck every thread they get their hands on, seem dead set against anything improving at the club. I don't understand the mentality of an interweb troll, I don't know what you get from it. If you object to the club progressing, state your reasons why. If you want to see the club progress, but have some reservations over spending, or us over-streaching, fair enough, state them, but don't just snipe snide comments from the sidelines. What are your problems with the club commissioning, and releasing CAD visulisations?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 The first scale mock up will infuriate Turks even further.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 It's in there somewhere, all different from the others grumpy but covered in only the finest caster sugar. Hard on the outside but soft and sweat on the inside, just how we like him.

Not even plans, just pictures. There are likely to be some form of plan behind it, even if it's just to create some CGI mock up's and watch MLG get mugged off on SWF. I think people will take this seriously once formal planning applications are submitted and we have some detail other than some impressive looking pictures.
Matthew Le God Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Back on topic, this is interesting... I'm guessing the building next to the stadium would be clad in Corten steel and, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a large banqueting suite, as AFL also incorporated a similar wedge shaped building into the new stand at Edgbaston. Corten steel: http://pinterest.com/dezeen/corten-steel/ Banqueting suite at Edgbaston: http://www.edgbastonstadium.com/banqueting-suite/
Barry the Badger Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Oh good, a banqueting suite. I can watch the football safe in the knowledge that some rich tosser is having a jolly nice roast.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Why is that interesting (serious question), do you think the sand cruser bit will be a banqueting suite? I thought all the glass bits would be that, like at the Emirates.
Turkish Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Why? This is not being infered. No grizzling from me. Simply calling it as I see it.

Turkish Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Well it is interesting to me, so An open air banqueting suit like on your very interesting drawing will be packed to the rafters when we play Stoke on a tuesday evening in February.
Scummer Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 An open air banqueting suit like on your very interesting drawing will be packed to the rafters when we play Stoke on a tuesday evening in February. It's not open air you clown. That's an architects drawing with the roof removed.......
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I am lost, what does the Mcphail centre of music have to do with anything?
Dig Dig Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I am lost, what does the Mcphail centre of music have to do with anything? It's cladded by that rusty brown **** like the wedge building in the superdome mock up's. I think anyway
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Yeah that's what I thought. Is that going to be the sandcruser bit or is that something else like a massive megastore to buy foam hands in and stuff?
Dig Dig Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I think MLG is suggesting that it's a banqueting suit as it's the same shape as the one in the edgbaston picture.
Matthew Le God Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I am lost, what does the Mcphail centre of music have to do with anything? The post I quoted says... "I'm guessing the building next to the stadium would be clad in Corten steel and, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a large banqueting suite, as AFL also incorporated a similar wedge shaped building into the new stand at Edgbaston." It then says "Corten Steel:" and shows a similar(ish) building (The Mcphail centre for music) to the one in the St Mary's building clad in Corten Steel. Discussing cladding may not be everyone's idea of fun, but it is still relevant to this thread however dull it might seem.
Saints foreva Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Exactly! The 3 Championship home matches after Lowe left and relegation to League One a certainty = 23k, 27k, 24k The 27k one was cheap tickets. Kids £5, adults £10. We got a similar attendance vs Forest while Lowe was still here due to similar priced tickets.

hypochondriac Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 An open air banqueting suit like on your very interesting drawing will be packed to the rafters when we play Stoke on a tuesday evening in February.

Good way of getting Turkish off your back, bore him into submission. Here is some more of that Corten Steel stuff just for you Is the idea of it to make a new building look old and **** so when it does get old and ****, nobody notices? Edited 13 March, 2013 by Tokyo-Saint
hypochondriac Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Can you post some more Corten Steel Tokyo? I was getting bored of this thread but your picture has livened things up.
Alwightmush Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Here is some more of that Corten Steal stuff just for you So this is how Liverpool are looking to build their new ground?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Sure hypo Here is a horse made from James Corden's steals: Here is a cat sitting on a dog, again made from James Corden's Steals
hypochondriac Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I think we should have a Corten steel Cortese sitting on the Ted Bates statue outside of the stadium. That would liven things up considerably.
Bearsy Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 is corten just another word for rusty? genuine question. no trolls pls
