S-Clarke Posted 5 November, 2014 Share Posted 5 November, 2014 Is there going to be a live Youtube stream of it or any coverage? or is it all being recorded for distribution later? And Saint Armstrong is a jammy bugger for getting the chance to tour it with Fonte! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 5 November, 2014 Share Posted 5 November, 2014 A nice touch but don't like the way it starts with 'Saved Southampton Football Club'. What would you have said? The Club that we have now is very largely down to him initially and to his daughter since his sad demise. When one stops to consider the precarious situation that we were in when he arrived and bought us and then imagine the alternative scenario that might have unfolded otherwise, I don't think that it is inappropriate to say that he saved the club.

pap Posted 5 November, 2014 Share Posted 5 November, 2014 Pap that is brilliant Thanks, Gemmel. I was actually inspired by a school trip to Fort Spitbank. They had precisely two shítters on that fort, one for the commander and another for everyone else. As such, its application here is one of the highest honours one can pay to the man, and I can see no way in which it might be perceived as disrespectful.
