Both cracking boozers (never been in The Guide Dog though).
Have had a few in the Book Shop mind(same neck of the woods) which has some decent ales on.
For those wanting ‘bands’ and decent lager post match, get to the fanzones as I believe they have both?!?! [Post edited 21 Feb 9:19]

First gig back at the old girl since re-opening. Ears are still recovering from the mighty Mogwai.
So much more enjoyment watching a gig than the footy (more so this season)…. |

In all honesty 73, looking at the ilk of those who attend the forums and the questions that often leave their mouths it’s probably a good thing.
The Red Wall is built, now what about expanding the ground to a 745,000 all seater capacity…… |

Whilst a resident of the Northam and have been since the ground was opened, I much preferred it when the away fans were alongside. Since the Red Wall was introduced it is like the whole stand has been infiltrated by brainless kids. I mean, case in example, our lot singing about there being only one South Cosst Derby. Chaps, we know Pompey are the rivals, so why the need to air such a song whilst we are playing Bournemouth!?!? Surely you are stoking something not there.
I think with time things will sort themselves out on the atmosphere side as equilibrium takes place with fans of the old Itchen corner / Northam striving to move ends. Once there are a few taking up residence next to the away fans it should help.
Re: the silence from the hierachy, we have often said (and has been well documented on articles here to be fair) that we don’t want constant feeds of news or interviews from the board as they need to take valuable time running the place, however the silence really is deafening. I mean, by all accounts Dragan was the one beating down the door to tell Martin he was sacked yet it’s here say. For me it’s simple, Dragan is the major shareholder so needs to stand up and be counted.
Whilst we can argue or disagree on the merits or not of Cortese / Liebherr, at least we had a strategy. We were told the squad / first team would be built around getting homegrown, English players who came through the ranks playing as the core of the team (and by Christ we were getting there). If Sport Republic are here using the place as a cash cow then just tell us that, but don’t assume we are all mugs and will put up with it.
What is their strategy for getting us back up (if they even desire that) next year?
I love Saints but don’t assume I will be led like a sheep and take the support as guaranteed. [Post edited 19 Feb 9:49]

To be fair Pat, one wonders what he knew about the PL before coming in. For me if he should go, we need a proper tried and tested Championship ilk manager. We are in a mess and really do need / will need, to go back to basics starting with a spine of a team. |

Added to this, why on earth were the plebs singing about ‘One South Coast Derby’ on Saturday. FFS, no need to even bang on about it for christs sake.
Was quite amusing, was catching a leak in a boozer post game Saturday when a guy come in wearing a head band. Commented on how he was gonna struggle to get a train; most of us completely ignored him. Then said it again to which someone replied you can always walk. Then went on about travelling to Europe for games next season. No one even bothered biting which meant his dribbling on about Bournemouth really fell on deaf ears. Poor sod was trying to get a rise. |

Saints FC are simply a small cog in the mighty conglomerate machine that is Sport Republic.
It’s all about the bigger picture Sir

With Saints absolutely on fire since Dragan et al steamed in to save the day, thought I would check out their (Sport Republic) website. Must admit, it had me in stitches and wondering if they actually believe their own hyperbole…….
‘Scouting’ - Establishing a pioneering scouting system to identify and recruit elite talent early.
‘Technology’ - Driving innovation and industry-leading performance, over both football and commercial functions, in the clubs, through the use of leading-edge technology and digital tools.
Wonder who the next lucky club will be to join the wonderful portfolio of assets on Sport Republics books??

Nope sadly he is not a top flight player but then again who from our current squad is. This really does show just how good Sport Republic have been since coming in.

One of the few (and deluded) that stayed for the Brentford humiliation and even the Leicester hammering that year, but tend to just clear off when the three goal rule applies. Dunno why I decided to stay to the bitter end v Brentford, but perhaps it was to give the players some shìt at the end, or for the pure comedy value.
Don’t plan hanging around today so probably be out the exit on the 43rd minute |

Its amazing the number in recent years that seem to have forgotten they were avid United fans prior to Bournemouth hitting the big time.
