    I lived next door to the Cob & Pen. It was a nice pub for a good cheap meal and a pint.

    The most suprising thing is the small percentage of posters that are actually resident in the city currently...even Meowth is more local than most of you!

    My mums side of the family are from Southampton and every other kid I grew up with was either a Chelsea or West Ham fan so I just chose to be different and supported Saints because my mum did.

    Born Brockenhurst. Then moved to Burley. On leaving school Eastleigh and Alton with Hampshire Constabulary. Transferred to Isle of Man in 1968. Always supported Saints. Dad had a season ticket at The Dell. I would go into the boys enclosure.

    This seems true and same with me.
    Man of Kent, born south of the river medway and lived most of my life in Canterbury.

    Not the most exciting city in the world but an energetic student city, minutes from beautiful villages (pubs) and a few miles from the coast.

    Canterbury famous for the destination of the Pilgrims Way where pilgrims from Winchester made the journey to the shrine of Thomas Becket.

    I do the pilgrimage almost in reverse, from Canterbury to what is the shrine of St Mary's stadium to worship those legends in red and white. (Admittedly not quite the same as the original pilgrims walked following natural contours of the landscape, where as I drive, following man made motorway constructions)

    Again I think this raises the question, why Saints?

    Masochism???

    Must be!When I was getting into football Le Tissier was in a run of scoring unbelievable goals and it got me into supporting Saints! Mum used to buy me other teams things to get me into them as she thought what seemed like certain relegation every year would break my heart!Thankfully didn't cave in!My home team Finn Harps generally cause me even more pain but that's what it's all about. Makes the good times that bit sweeter!
