RoswellSaint Posted 24 April, 2009 Author Share 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.

dubai_phil Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 24 April, 2009 Share 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.

Under Weststand Posted 25 April, 2009 Share 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.

OldNick Posted 25 April, 2009 Share 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.

Bailey Posted 25 April, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
