Would it not be easier for him to ask THEM? After all, if he could see them, surely it wouldn't be so outrageous to suggest he was pretty close to them....

Anders Posted 7 June, 2009 Share Posted 7 June, 2009 "There is no television at the South East regional count at St Mary's stadium in Southampton, and Conservative David Willetts has "gone mad" at organisers, the BBC's Mandy Baker says. Our correspondent says there was one TV in reception, but the security guard had to switch it off because there were too many people crowded round it and it was causing a blockage in the reception area. Mr Willetts was heard to say: "My party will never use this venue again" - yet another blow for Southampton Football Club, the owner of St Mary's, which has faced financial difficulties." oops.

Sevvy Posted 8 June, 2009 Share Posted 8 June, 2009 When they say 21 days do they mean total days e.g. all wrapped up by the 19th June, or 21 working days which would be approx 29 th June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think it was Referendum Party.I'm sure I've read it was in 'The Cotswolds' constituency,which if true indicates it was a general election rather than European.It predates his time with us so the episode and his involvement passed me by at the time.

Saints foreva Posted 8 June, 2009 Share Posted 8 June, 2009 The BBC artical about Surman has made me worry a little about the bid.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8089055.stm Until the takeover at Saints goes through, then we're in a bit of limbo." Pinnacle Group are currently undertaking due diligence at the St Mary's Stadium, having been granted a 21-day period as exclusive bidders. Andrew Surman "At this stage I haven't thought any further than going back to Southampton for pre-season on 22 June," Surnam added. "When a serious bid comes in then that's when you have to review your situation, but we're not at that stage yet." I could have sworn all the due diligence was completed?

The way I understand it is that the financial due diligence has been done - looked at the books etc and they match what MF said. They are now undertaking the legal due diligence which is checking that we legally own what we said we owned - players, stadium, Staplewood etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, if you are not watching the media every day waiting for news (because it is of no interest to you) then when it gets announced it seems like it was all done in 5 minutes flat.

SFC Forever Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 If Aviva did decide that they were going to keep the stadium how much could they get to allow the team full access?

Rattlehead Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 I saw Rupert in The Don restaurant in London today. I managed to refrain from shouting abuse at him although I did utter a fair few expletives about him to my guests. I didn't recognise any of the gimps he was quaffing champagne with. True story.
