Jeff Le Taxi Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Now the dust is settling, i find myself looking forward to visiting grounds ive never been to, also am i right in thinking lots of league one clubs still have terracing?
lee_saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Erm not too many, but plenty of old grounds in the league, looking forward to Orient myself.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Posted 29 April, 2009 Just looked at that one! Leyton is a VERY dodgy area should be fun!
lee_saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Just looked at that one! Leyton is a VERY dodgy area should be fun! It's erm, interesting, last time I was there it was a struggle to find a white man (or woman), it's the same as Luton.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Posted 29 April, 2009 Judging by attendances, if we do well we could have more away fans than home at some of these places!
View From The Top Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Just looked at that one! Leyton is a VERY dodgy area should be fun! I would imagine quite a few of us remember the events up there last time we played them! I'm looking forward to it as it will mean I still have a football club.
Reib80 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Yeah I'm looking forward to going to some of these grounds! Really looking forward to going to places like Yeovil and Hartlepool...and if Exeter get promoted, deffo gonna go there as it was right next to where I used to train when I was in the Marines.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 It's erm, interesting, last time I was there it was a struggle to find a white man (or woman), it's the same as Luton. The last time I was there was our promotion season. Is it still in the same place?
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Hopefully if the promotions & relegations work out the right way then we could have as many as 13 localish games. If Wycombe, Exeter & Gillingham all come up from League 2 with Brentford that would be good whilst lets hope Carlisle & Crewe go down at the expense of Brighton. Lastly, hopefully Leeds or S****horpe go up in the play offs keeping MK Dons & Millwall down. Then we'd have all of the following away games which are pretty close Charlton, MK Dons, Millwall, Southend, Bristol Rovers, Leyton Orient, Swindon, Yeovil, Brighton, Brentford, Wycombe, Exeter & Gillingham. You could also had to that Norwich, Colchester, Northampton & Walsall which aint all that far to go either.
alpine_saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 We will walk this league It will be great to win more games next season :rolleyes:
Pancake Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Not sure you could say MK, Sarfend and Gillingham are localish!
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Not sure you could say MK, Sarfend and Gillingham are localish! All of them are only about a 2 hour drive. Not localish but not far either & we'd take a lot to all 3 imo.
the saint in winchester Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 We will walk this league It will be great to win more games next season :rolleyes: OH no! This is the first time I have agreed with Alpine. Bring on next season. We're going for automatic promotion!
Mole Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I'm lookig forward to it, but i'm concerned we may struggle.
Jesus Reigned Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 We will walk this league It will be great to win more games next season :rolleyes: OH no! This is the first time I have agreed with Alpine. Bring on next season. We're going for automatic promotion! Don't get too excited; I assume he's being sarcastic.
Wilko Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 It's erm, interesting, last time I was there it was a struggle to find a white man (or woman), it's the same as Luton. The only thing I look for on an away day is a real ale pub and three points.
West End Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I agree in a way i guess many of us would never have visited a lot of these grounds amazing that chances are there will be 4 ex Prem teams in League 1 so we are not alone I think with the 10 point deduction it will be harder than many people think will depend a great deal on what squad we have available but I am looking forward to it no point crying now I hate the summer cant wait for August the 8th COYR
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I hope we have a good motivator in charge of the team, because otherwise its gonna be tough to overcome a ten point handicap. I'm optimistic of a takeover, I just hope whoever it is can change the negative cr@p that has strangled the life out of the club for years, you would seriously bet against 'The Old Southampton' to turn a points deduction around, so this may just be the tonic to stamp a new winning mentality into Southampton FC. COYR!!!
Chez Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Not sure you could say MK, Sarfend and Gillingham are localish! are fans still boycotting MK games in favour of a trip to Wimbledon?
lee_saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 The only thing I look for on an away day is a real ale pub and three points. No chance with Orient, has the worst pub I've been into by the ground serving horrible beer, stick to some of the gems in the centre of London and then tube it up.....
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Looking forward to some new grounds Wallsall, Leyton Orient, Yeovill, Hartlepool, Carlisle? Wycombe and returning to some old ones like Stockport, Oldham, Huddersfield, Brighton, Brentford, Crewe? Bristol Rovers. Wont be gong to MK Dons though as i've already been to Wimbledon years ago.
La BoIS Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 No chance with Orient, has the worst pub I've been into by the ground serving horrible beer, stick to some of the gems in the centre of London and then tube it up..... If you have a CAMRA card you might be able to get in the Supporters Club which is in the GBG. Superb beer festivals there and current national club of the year.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I look forward to it, new grounds, new teams, new pubs (especially now I am 18!), and hopefully, a fresh start. Let's just hope we can forget this season and start to focus on 'bouncebackability'
Tac-tics Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Really looking forward to this season, something different and hopefully the end of the rot. Agree with RedAndWhite91, having just turned 18, its the first season off many 'messy' away days.

Iowsaintsfan Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 If i only go to 1 away next season (which i wont, i will go to alot more) it will be Carlisle!
thorpie the sinner Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Funnily enough, i am looking forward to next season!! All assuming we get a buyer, a solid manager and players who fit the shirts, could be an interesting time!
Draino76 Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Cannot wait! Southend and Leyton Orient on my doorstep, Stockport my birthplace and 2nd team, Colchester is a brilliant night out, same with Brighton. Grays in the Johnsons Paint Cup plz.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 30 April, 2009 Author Posted 30 April, 2009 Brighton away bank holiday weekend please selectors!
SFKA South Woodford Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 No chance with Orient, has the worst pub I've been into by the ground serving horrible beer, stick to some of the gems in the centre of London and then tube it up..... There are plenty of pubs within a short walk of Leytonstone station, which is the next stop down the line, including a big wetherspoons on the high road less than a five minute walk from the station. It also has the added bonus/disadvantage of a McD's next door. There is also a pub called 'The Railway Bell' which is just across the road from South Woodford station, which is on the same tube line but about a ten to fifteen minute tube ride away. This has the added bonus of being about a five minute car ride from the North Circular for those that are driving and the station also has plenty of car parking spaces.
saints_is_the_south Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Me & 2 mates are also looking into getting rail cards in time for next season. I checked out some rail fares including 3 rail cards & journeys, a return to Brighton come out at £5 each whilst Bristol was about £7/8. For those who use the trains this is certainly the way forward!

Sounds good mate, I'll make sure I head that way, I always head into central London and to Goodge Street!
Pancake Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Summer will be bearable this year what with the Euros and all, its every other summer with no footie at all i cant abide! Eh? Euro's this year?
saints_is_the_south Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Some of the away stands for next season... Brighton Hartlepool Leyton Orient Oldham Athletic Stockport County Brentford
lee_saint Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Jees Orients looks icky It's an end I've been in! It's not too bad, Walsall's is alright too.
saints_is_the_south Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 It's an end I've been in! It's not too bad, Walsall's is alright too. The away bit at Orient is on the side, not at the end, got 2 new stands there now. One used to be an open terrace for away fans though. Here's a few more Swindon Town Tranmere Rovers Walsall
Saintjersey Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 I was looking forward to going to the mighty Hereford, but they are going down
londonsaint1604 Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Hahaha Brighton looks hilarious. Are you sure that's right?
SFKA South Woodford Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Has anyone still got the link to that new football stadiums website? Thought i'd check on the progress of the Withdean.
Saints foreva Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 We may not start the season bottom!! Stockport could be going into admin.. But one of their fans on a multi fan forum seems to think their point deduction will take place this season.. not next...
SaintDonkey Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 Hahaha Brighton looks hilarious. Are you sure that's right? Yep that's right - remember it from a couple of seasons back. The pitch was so far away (with the spectators so low down) you really couldn't tell what was going on.
Kingsland Codger Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 I'm looking forward to approaching the ticket window at the station and asking the lady behind the counter ... "How much will you charge me to Oldham?"
monkadill Posted 30 April, 2009 Posted 30 April, 2009 I cant even watch saints v Peterborough (my home)as they have been promoted
