JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I know there are plenty about but why not all travel up to Salisbury to watch ex Saint Nick Holmes and his little team of triers? They get around 1,500 per match and the stadium only holds 3500. You could all turn up in your Saints shirts and sing positive songs. I bet it gets on TV.

At least we can make a statement and show support to another local side. Salisbury or maybe Eastleigh?
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 Do they have pubs in Salisbury? I think so, but more importantly skateboards and rollerskates are more than welcome.

I like the Salisbury idea based purely on being able to Sing "One Nick Holmes, there's only one Nick Holmes" again.
buctootim Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Do they have pubs in Salisbury? Haunch of Venison. Dont cheat at cards there.
Scudamore Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I think so, but more importantly skateboards and rollerskates are more than welcome. Beer, football and skateboards...i'm in... I'll do the website for you then...you just need a catchy name now... Shame you've already regsitered...as setting up a protest would serve as a good way to completely backtrack on a moral highground previously taken about not paying the five pounds required to become a full member...
Channon's Sideburns Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I like the Salisbury idea based purely on being able to Sing "One Nick Holmes, there's only one Nick Holmes" again. 'One Ian Baird' doesn't sound the same does it.... Really think that if some of our younger fans want to get an idea of why so many of us stick with the club, it's for memories of players like Nick.

Shame you've already regsitered...as setting up a protest would serve as a good way to completely backtrack on a moral highground previously taken about not paying the five pounds required to become a full member... What is it you are saying here? A catchy name won't be hard to come up with. How about, "Saints fans that Watch Salisbury Instead as a Sort of Protest Because Things are Quite Rubbish at our Place."?
The Saturday Boy Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Nice idea but I don't think it will work. I go to watch Salisbury quite regularly when Saints are away. I don't think there is another day for the rest of the season that both the Whites and Saints play at home on the same day, apart from Easter Monday but Salisbury kick off at 1500 and Saints kick off at 1945. Salisbury asked before the fixtures came out that if possible that they didn't play at home on the same day as Saints as a few of the Saints stewards also work at Salisbury games too and help train up the Salisbury stewards too.

How about, "Saints fans that Watch Salisbury Instead as a Sort of Protest Because Things are Quite Rubbish at our Place."? I'm saying if you had taken a moral highground about not wanting to pay the five pound fee to become a full member and were scrabbling around for an excuse to join up because you secretly love the website despite calling everyone mongs...well setting up a protest would be a good excuse to completely backtrack on your moral highground...seeing as you'd need more than three posts a day to set up the protest...of course it would actually end up costing you much more than five pound in the long run (five pound fee, costs incurred for setting up protest website, your own sense of pride, etc.) but you could come out of it looking like a bit of a hero...AND get to post on the website you heart so bad on the sly... But you paid up the fiver without any complaints so i guess this scenario wouldn't apply to you JFP... --- Yeah that name might need some work...

saint1977 Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Do they have pubs in Salisbury? Oh yes. Deacons - if it's still there, Haunch of Venison, Rai'Dor and many others. Rai'Dor does genuine Thai food as well.
Scudamore Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Salisbury Saints Skateboarding Pubovers? Saints Go Marching to a few pubs and then watch Salisbury then skateboard somewhere halfcut Protest?
alehouseboys Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The idea's got mileage but...why travel 30+ miles to protest, Eastleigh is the sensible destination. I love Nick Holmes as much as the rest of us 'oldies' but tbh I don't want him as manager down here and if everyone turns up at Salisbury singing "There's only one Nicky Holmes..." it might just send out the wrong message! We'd probably get more local media attention at Eastleigh...and we'd get the chance to give our respects to p*rtsmuff's training ground en route!
saint1977 Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Best idea yet. Why not? At least we can make a statement and show support to another local side. Salisbury or maybe Eastleigh? Pubs are far better in Salisbury. I once tried a Saturday night out in Eastleigh many years ago and it was even worse than Slough. Seriously.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 Saints Go Marching to a few pubs and then watch Salisbury then skateboard somewhere halfcut Protest? I am not trying to alienate your skateboarding contribution to Saints bid to avoid the drop but would like Saints roller skating fraternity to be included in there somewhere.

Do we get to meet Nineteen Canteen in the boardroom afterwards?
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 Do we get to meet Nineteen Canteen in the boardroom afterwards? Does he go to Salisbury games then?
Scudamore Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I am not trying to alienate your skateboarding contribution to Saints bid to avoid the drop but would like Saints roller skating fraternity to be included in there somewhere. Apologies. Saints Go Marching to a few pubs and then watch Salisbury then skate somewhere halfcut Protest?
Scudamore Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 How's about Weymouth then? Listening to Solent the other day sounds like they could do with the money... And we could then skate to the arcades afterwards...
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 Apologies. Saints Go Marching to a few pubs and then watch Salisbury then skate somewhere halfcut Protest? :smt098 Works for me.

They get around 1,500 per match and the stadium only holds 3500. You could all turn up in your Saints shirts and sing positive songs. I bet it gets on TV. I bet it doesn't get anywhere near TV. Nobody outside of our fan base gives a sh!t about our current predicament. The ONLY protest that will work is if the majority of ST holders don't renew, but unfortunately there will be plenty who will still renew at early bird for the sake of saving £50 or so.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 How's about Weymouth then? Listening to Solent the other day sounds like they could do with the money... And we could then skate to the arcades afterwards... Topless skating protest, dressed as nuns?

I have ammended the idea to involve wearing nun uniforms now. Does that sway you at all?

Still showing as 3pm on the OS fixture list, has it been moved?
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 ] She looks to have an instep problem with the right skate. I could be wrong.
