RoswellSaint Posted 24 April, 2009 Author Posted 24 April, 2009 Cor blimey Mr Phil. I didn't do much! Roswell came up with the idea and I just did a wee bit of cottage industry promotion. I'm sure there are more deserving fans out there than yours truely. Appreciate your sentiments though. Good luck to saints tomorrow. Next season starts now! Trousers - I think he had one too many of those Bullfrogs or whatever he drinks in Dubai. Didn't do much myself either, just set the ball rolling. Then everyone else showed what great fans we have.
solentstars Posted 24 April, 2009 Posted 24 April, 2009 Posted this on another thread. Anyone else up for sending in the nomination?spot on lets hope we seemore of this spirit from now on.

Didn't do much myself either, just set the ball rolling. Then everyone else showed what great fans we have. Nope, the Bullfrogs were last week when I got stitched up & had to get on stage and sing YMCA at karaoke night with my son in a club with about 200+ people all in party mood.... (the video is on it's way to the "reasons to give up booze section of You Tube I think) Seriously and I DO mean this, as far as I'm concerned you two did something very simple, didn't involve much work but just reminded us after ALL the cr@p of the last couple of years what being a Saints fan is all about Well done, take a bow
Saint_clark Posted 24 April, 2009 Posted 24 April, 2009 The Supporter of the Year award has already been given, and it was VERY well deserved to Mrs Jan Barrett. Knowing her in person and knowing what she goes through, she is undoubtedly the only person who truly deserved this award. She goes to every home and away game, suffers from multiple sclerosis, has a full time job AND does charity work to raise awareness about MS. Incredible. Says it here - http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11693

Under Weststand Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 I donated 10 pairs on Radio Hampshire today that were given out. Stewart Dennis was reall helpful as I only phoned him at about 12 oclock and he got the ticket office ot call me so they could arrange payment, SD then gave them away to fans who couldnt afford to go. If all else fails call radio hants and they were brilliant. Well done Nickh Just shows the spirit of our club has not been extinguished, it was just put on hold. In fact well done everyone, today & this thread has convinced me we will come out of this, maybe just maybe as a fan base we've turned the corner.

SO16_Saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 different cass, Saints fans. What a truly remarcable group of people. Recession, redundancies, et al yet a true sense of togetherness and 'dunkirk' spirit. Makes you feel proud. Phoenix from the flames.

Can I give you a kiss tomorrow, heard it on the radio and it did make me think what a great club and great fans we are, bugger the politics this is the real SFC and what potential buyers and investors should note.
Wilf Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Just got 4 in the Chapel for the kids. Can't be there myself today, but to all of you who are going, have a great day, I hope there will be a really special atmosphere.
dubai_phil Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Phew, finally got through on the "not an 0800 number", done two pairs Good luck to them in getting them out and about
alpine_saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 O.K. finally got through.... One happy adult and child this afternoon (I hope....) Couldnt sit back and think of children that have never experienced the joy and pain of seeing Saints live...

What a great woman!
OldNick Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Yeah heard him giving the first pair away - a young lady wanted to take her Mum - bless.I couldnt listen to the show and wasnt sure what time they 'd be given away,as it was youngest daughters 21st and was tied up with her stuff. I hope they found the people I hoped they would, thanks for that info.Can anyone tell me how they presented it as in for people who needed it pr first callers. It doesnt really matter as Radio Hampshire were brilliant and SD made time in his show to do it. They could have easily said it was too late etc. Good for them i say.
John D Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Done x2 Had to do it via the ticket info line number on 0845 6889288 and not the offsite ticket number though UTS John

OldNick Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Is this Ladysaint? Because, if so, I do believe that she was also one of the ones who suggested the idea of giving tickets away yesterday. What a great woman!Ive looked in the gallery and shes not in those pictures. I know she is a great fan who follows us around
Northam Girls Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Just donated 2 tickets from me and 2 from my daughter - boy did that feel good

insertfunnyname Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 26000 tickets sold apparently - things are looking up - this idea is catching on. good skills for organising it. i only hope the kids that we are all sponsoring get to see a win.

From 20,000 yesterday morning to 26,000 this morning, with the walk-up still to come. Over 30,000 is still possible.

What a great woman! I don't think she comes on this forum. Those people who came up with this idea have my utmost respect however. It still puts a lump in my throat thinking about how selfless people on here have proved to be over the last 24 hours.

I really hope this is the case. Sounds a bit odd to shift 6K in a few hours...? Nevertheless hope I am joined by as many as possible.

corsacar saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Just got back from the ground after going and paying for 2 tickets[ 1 adult, 1 child], to be donated. Brilliant idea Roswell Saint.[ Shame the girl in the ticket office did not know of the idea, and had to go and speak to her boss].
mcmen Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Hi, Chuffed at the fans for this initiative. I also cannot make the game today but have just booked a ticket and donated. Best of luck to the club today.
Block 5 Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 This makes me proud to be a supporter of Southampton Football Club!
Bailey Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Even if the club struggle to distribute all of the tickets that people have donated, at least people can be safe in the knowledge that the club has been provided with extra funds to keep it going in the short-term. Fair play to those who got this idea up and running. Tremendous idea and a fantastic chance for local children to go and watch a Saints game when normal circumstances may prevent them from doing so. Very much looking forward to the game today! Well done to all!
OldNick Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Jan came and gave me my kiss but no sign of LTC though
dubai_phil Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Jan came and gave me my kiss but no sign of LTC though YOU SNOGGED POOOORTVLIET??? WTF was HE doing there? Don't tell me he's part of Lowe's revolutionary new consortium?
OldNick Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 YOU SNOGGED POOOORTVLIET??? WTF was HE doing there? Don't tell me he's part of Lowe's revolutionary new consortium?I do that to all managers Phil, Im practising my best French kiss for when we meet up.
RoswellSaint Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Posted 29 April, 2009 bump Good question, I had been meaning to ask but have been busy. I will try to find out.
