Saints Unveil New Kit

Saints Unveil New Kit
Friday, 11th Jun 2010 10:14

The worst kept secret was unveiled by Saints today with the announcement that the 2010 kit would be on sale from 11.25am on Saturday morning.

As expected its basically a copy of the original kit worn in 1885, ie a red sash on a white shirt.

Its hard to be critical of this, its traditional and it looks nice, although pedants will point out that the original kit had the sash going both ways depending on the wearer,but standardised with the direction being left shoulder to right waist, the opposite of this years design.

Apart from that its a nice touch although for me its a little too white an outfit with white shorts and black socks, personally I would have liked to have seen red shorts to give it colour, but thats being picky, it was white shorts in 1885 so they have stuck to historical fact.

As the club graciously informs us they are keeping the cost at £30 for kids and £40 for adults for the tenth consecutive season, whether there will be a repayment plan avaialable for those who havent written this cash outlay into their budget is unclear at time of writing.

arfurdent added 12:50 - Jun 11 Nick I can only endorse your view that this is another manifestation of the high handed approch from NC / ML who are acting as if they own the club. The sooner these people go away and things returb to normal the better

legod7 added 14:20 - Jun 11 Moan,moan bl**dy moan. I think that is the only thing that keeps you going. Take an unblinkered look at the Echo website. 99% of people on there love it. So as usual that puts Nick in a minority again.Nothing changes

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
