Yorkshire Saint Posted 2 May, 2017 Share Posted 2 May, 2017 Something to lighten the mood. Im getting married on the 8th of July and i have 13 tables. The whole thing is top class but my wife to be has agreed i can name the tables after my ultimate Saints 11 + Manager + 1 Sub Any thoughts: Top table / Manager = McMenemy (Certainly not Puel) 1 = Shilton 2 = Clyne 3 = Bale 4 = Wanyama 5 = Monkou 6 = Van Dijk 7 = Letissier 8 = McCalliog 9 = Shearer 10 = Channon 11 = Paine 12 = Dia Any thoughts ?

Kenilworthy Posted 2 May, 2017 Share Posted 2 May, 2017 Surely there should be a Stokes table? Maybe not a great player but no other Saints has scored the winning goal in a major final (for us anyway). Or to add class - CB Fry, as well as playing football for Saints and England also captained England at cricket, played rugby for the Barbarians and was joint holder of the world long-jump record.

He also a very good poster on here. How about naming the tables after your favourite forum posters. Obviously the head table would be the Turkish table, then a mixture of current crop and good posters who don't bother anymore and you can see why 2 CB Fry 3 Franks Cousin 4 Wes ender 5 Hesingberg 6 Dull days 7.

Has to be Channon at number 8 and Bale at 10 for me. Killer at number 5, possibly Golac at number 2 and Dennis at number 3 Dia at 12 I'd have big Ron in there?

nta786 Posted 2 May, 2017 Share Posted 2 May, 2017 I'd add Bates myself. Regardless, congratulations for your occasion!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworthy Posted 3 May, 2017 Share Posted 3 May, 2017 CB Fry never had a number as they weren't used until 1933. But he played as a full back - since he was a right-handed batsman I guess he would have been a right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 3 May, 2017 Share Posted 3 May, 2017 if you're getting married, the Top table would be more apt if it were named - Paine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted 3 May, 2017 Share Posted 3 May, 2017 Maybe it's an age thing, but I'm not liking Wanyama at 4. It's either Holmes or Williams for me. Actually, no, I'd go with the hyphenated Holmes-Williams table and fill that table with mid to late 40s / early 50s blokes and watch the debate !!

The Cat Posted 3 May, 2017 Share Posted 3 May, 2017 Agree on Wanyama. It's not an age thing, it's a Spurs thing Schneiderlin would be a better option than Wanyama. Played for us in 3 divisions and did much more for the club in that time. I'd have a Guly table. Would be useful for those who want to get drunk and still drive home.

5string Posted 3 May, 2017 Share Posted 3 May, 2017 Create debate on every table by giving each table dual names (as suggested earlier by Vince, post 25: Holmes-Williams). You could then set the guests a test as to which of the 2 names you would actually choose: For example (sorry if numbers offend!): Manager: McMenemy-Bates 1. Shilton-Flowers 2. Clyne-Golac 3. Bale-Bridge 4. Wanyama-Williams 5. Monkou-Ruddock 6. Van Dijk-Wright 7. Keegan-LeTissier 8. Channon-McCalliog 9. Shearer-Davies 10. Wallace-Wallace (haha) 11. Paine-Stokes 12. Dia-Long Whatever you choose, have a fantastic day the both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd the wedding doesnt go well either bride or groom could always do a quick "6 years of a great journey ruined in one day" social media update.

Badger Posted 3 May, 2017 Share Posted 3 May, 2017 Should have a table for some of the family who you have to invite but don't really get on with. That should be the "Paine" table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morse Posted 4 May, 2017 Share Posted 4 May, 2017 Surely the table names should reflect loyalty. Thus the tables should be named after the players with the greatest loyalty to Saints. 1. Terry Paine 2. Mich Chanson 3. Nick Holmes 4. Matthew Le Tissier 5. Tommy Trainer 6. Jason Dodd 7. Bert Shelley 8. Eric Day 9. Samuel Meston (me neither) 10. Claus Lundkevam 11. John Sydenham 12. Arthur Dominy (likewise) 13, Manager Ted Bates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 4 May, 2017 Share Posted 4 May, 2017 If chuck them on the Puel table, because they're boring and no one really likes them. Or the Burley Table (no food, only drink served). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 4 May, 2017 Share Posted 4 May, 2017 If you have any Portsmouth supporters coming to your wedding perhaps you could make them feel at home and set up a Disney-themed "Pompey Mighty Ducks" table for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
