thorpie the sinner Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 615am in France, just me, my thoughts and a strong coffee for company, thought it was a good time to take stock of our recent situation. What do I really want as a devoted Saints fan? I am 46 and watched my first ever match at the Dell in 1978, Ted McDougall netting the winner in a 2 1 victory over Sheff Utd: I saw some amazing matches at that wonderful old stadium thereafter, none moreso than the 3 2 victory over Liverpool where Nick Holmes scored 10 seconds into second half just as big Lawrie was coming back out; he smiled, turned round and went back into dressing room. My point is, there have been many amazing moments and there will be many more. Players and managers, some legends come and go, but the club evolves and moves on. Poch left citing no ambition, Ron is leaving intimating the ambition of club not matching his own, 6m a year and a new agent has helped in his decision making I guess. What is our ambition though? What are my hopes and dreams? As I sit here watching a beautiful sun rise in Roz, I realised I want a healthy, well run club to support, Players and managers (like super KEL and MLT) who are proud to wear the shirt, and the dream of something more, the reality doesn't really matter. This year we have a proper European campaign to look forward to, next year, it maybe a decent cup run and the dream of a day out at Wembley. Just having a dream is enough. I am a proud Saint, I am eternally grateful to Marcus, equally grateful to Kat for carrying on her father's dream and happy that we continue to be well run paving the way for a future where our children can also experience the rollercoaster of being a Saint; I look forward to the next manager, I look forward to Europe, I look forward to dreaming next year and I look forward to future memories that truly loving a club will provide.

There are a lot on here that could do with a cup of that coffee I'll tell you. I share the same sentiments. I am a little disappointed in this all,I really thought Ron was a gentleman and a man of his word,but perhaps not. Still we'll keep on rolling in each season with the highs and lows. After all,it wouldn't be Saints would it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biscuits Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 Agree. I'm a Saint. Have been for life and that's never going to change. Ups and downs, promotions, relegations, no matter who is playing or managing for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
