Mole Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 7) If you are refering to the headline - "Hope you die soon" "I bet i don't" it wasn't the Ugly it was On The March. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5166
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 28 January, 2009 Author Posted 28 January, 2009 Sorry Stanley it must have been 'on the March'
Big Ron fan Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 Only one I think I can answer is 7. Wasn't it "Hope You Die Soon!"?
eesti matty Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 4) I am pretty certain that the referee changed the ball for an orange one. It was snowing. Am I right?
teamsaint Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 1 Curiosity Killed the Cat. Also, I would like to know who was Saints first black player. Was it Osher Williams?
treggs23 Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 number 9...no away fans allowed due to stadium rebuilding
treggs23 Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 number 10...probably wrong but have in my head that it was Benali appreciation day with tea towels and moustaches?? We lost 4-3 I think? Anyway that's my free posts for the day so if I'm wrong I can;t give any more answers
mattyg Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 4 It was changed to an orange ball due to snow. 5 The West Stand? 6 Robert Fleck 10 The score was 4-3
Thedelldays Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 10....we lost 4-3 i think..1993 MLT got the saints 3....(i was there, what a dump)
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 28 January, 2009 Posted 28 January, 2009 number 6...Ruel Fox There's a great photo I have got of Graham Poll pulling out his card with Dave Beasant restraining Micky Adams with Fox recieving treatment on the ground and the Milton Terrace in the background. Why I never put it in ITN I'll never know.

I could have posted the answers to 4, 7, 9 and 10 before anybody else had :smt022. Don't think I can be arsed to open a Pay Pal account to stump up the fiver just yet after Tuesday nights go slow on the match day thread My guess for the first coloured player for us would be Tony Sealy. Come on you stattos we need the final decision on this one still. Ta. PS players by the name of Black, Brown, Green, White or Sky Blue with Pink Dots don't count
Plumstead_Saint Posted 29 January, 2009 Posted 29 January, 2009 What a great thread! Didn't know the answers but enjoyed it non-the-less.
adysaint Posted 29 January, 2009 Posted 29 January, 2009 number 9...no away fans allowed due to stadium rebuilding 9 Correct no away fans (I was there! So was I! Live in Newcastle so used a mates Season Ticket and went in the home end. Stayed incognito until MLT's free kick sailed past a motionless Hooper... Jacket off - shirt out. Longest 7 minutes plus injury time of my life! Still don't know how I got out of St James alive that day.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 30 January, 2009 Author Posted 30 January, 2009 All correct apart from Mathew Harding got Matty to sign an autograph as the players marched off the pitch and then pretended that he had signed a contract raising the signed paper to the Chelsea fans Wenger compared Matty to Platini
Rational Rich Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 I'm sure the sweets were cola flavoured, a bit mushy round the edges and rock hard in the middle. Maybe that was just the east stand upper. Talking of which, anyone else remember the bloke who played OWTS on northumbrian pipes in the East Stand Upper Centre? Imagine he would be barred from bringing them into SMS these days.

krissyboy31 Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 So was I! Live in Newcastle so used a mates Season Ticket and went in the home end. Stayed incognito until MLT's free kick sailed past a motionless Hooper... Jacket off - shirt out. Longest 7 minutes plus injury time of my life! Still don't know how I got out of St James alive that day. Anyone remember the live feed at Hulse Road Social Club?
jonah Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 So was I! Live in Newcastle so used a mates Season Ticket and went in the home end. I was there with 2 others too in the Gallogate end (one was studying in Newcastle at the time and had queued up to get tickets)... very hard to remain silent when the free-kick went in! It was funny to hear the players celebrating in a completely silent ground, they all sounded more squeaky than Alan Ball :-) Great set of questions!
