simo Posted 21 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 21 June, 2013 I think the club need to explain their reasons behind this first scrapping the flag now the memorial cup/bear ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 I think the club need to explain their reasons behind this first scrapping the flag now the memorial cup/bear ;-) What about the Ted Bates Trophy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmel Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 It was very poorly attended, so I am not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 Might be a footballing decision too. Wasn´t it 45 min games? Those usually dont give a lot of answers footballing wise for the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restark19 Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 I went last season and felt like it was a bit of a waste of time. The fact that Arsenal sent their 'B' team (if it was even that) took a lot of the interest out of it. Saints were poor too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis17 Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 I imagine it will be the Real Sociedad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepgar Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 Wasn't the Ted Bates trophy originally just the one game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSixty Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 The format was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 The format was a joke. Awful format too long between games and yes we were terrible...... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the colonel Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 The format was a joke. the format was a good idea and would still work if they reduced the time between games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holepuncture Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 I think the club need to explain their reasons behind this first scrapping the flag now the memorial cup/bear ;-) IIRC she didn't feel comfortable with the flag, the trophy I believe is respectful to all, but its down to the family really. Personally, I reckon a tribute match is decent each year, pay our respects and focus on the future of Saints as ML wanted us all to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crab Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 I can't believe that Cortese has scrapped this. He really doesn't give a sh*t about tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 I can't believe that Cortese has scrapped this. He really doesn't give a sh*t about tradition. Agreed. I remember my father taking me along to the Liebherr Cup when I was a wee boy. Can't believe it's gone after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo Posted 23 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 23 June, 2013 Well I thought it was a good occasion for families to take their kids to , my nipper, nephews and friends kids loved it with the fair and events it created a bit of a community feel about it and the kids have been asking when its on ever since the season ended I think the club are missing a trick at getting kids interested in coming to saint marys ! My boy will be really disappointed when I tell him its not on anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 24 June, 2013 Share Posted 24 June, 2013 I should think Cortese was raging about how many people got in for nowt last year* thanks to the half-baked policy of not securing the fairground area for ticket checks from about 10 minutes after the first game kicked off, then letting everyone in and out of the concourse without checking tickets. (*I know of 2 ) I wonder if they charged the merry-go-round and Wurlitzer the car parking charge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 24 June, 2013 Share Posted 24 June, 2013 I believe when we play Sociedad, that will be for the new 'Cortese Cup'. The winning team also get's the opportunity to dine with Nicola Cortese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
