    Old Jordan Sibley stated on twitter that there was a Fans Dinner with NC last night. It appears someone who has a twitter account attended this meeting with Don C.
    Check out @minterrr relaying clipits from @hannahminter1

    Headlines of this story are:

    • We didnt go in for Beckford
    • We did bid for Lansbury from Arsenal but Arsenal were not keen
    • Arsenal did a cheeky medical on AOC last year
    • AOC bid from Arsenal was initially 3m
    • 15,000 ST holders this season
    • Betting company wanted to sponsor Saints but NC wanted local firm
    • 44,000 capacity plans are drawn up and ready if the need is there in the Prem
    • Hardly news - Lambert and Lallana highest paid players (not sure NC would talk about this though)
    • Brunley offered Jay Rod £8K more a week wages than us to keep him
    • Moving away fans has been discussed
    • Person responsible for season ticket distribution has been sacked
    • Adkins was first to be interviewed for managers role
    • Eddie Howe was interviewed 3 times but never offered him the job
    • Would like a new website but crappy one has to stay due to costs of getting out of contract
    • If promoted we will get a decent website :-/
    • Saints offered AOC same wages as Arsenal
    • Don C loves the new away shirt and wears it to the Gym
    • Don has never seen a footy game that hasnt involved saints
    • Don C wont take his kids to a saints match due to language etc
    • New home and away kits next season (shock)
    • Saints were only club in for Cork and Chelsea were good allowing only us to talk to him.
    • Warnock got fined for his stupid comments about saints

    I am relaying info so dont shoot the messenger as I dont believe a few of these but most ring true IMO. Lets the mass debate commence.
    Best wishes to Danny also. He is a good decent lad.
    Enjoy the weekend.

    Wow, what a feast of info, that must have been one hell of a meal, I'm surprised they had any time to eat or drink!

    Interesting about the AOC wages line, I bet he feels a right idiot now...

    Well thanks for that......Can confirm some from my own source but not all. Interesting one about the expansion. We would have a ground almost as big as Chelsea's then. As I say Sounds about right.

    I don't think it's true as there was mention of wages in the original tweet and NC would never discuss what wages our players would be on at a fans dinner.

    Fascinating, AND dinner with the Don...I wanna get there

    Henri Landsbury would have been a good signing, but as our lads are so hot right now, I don't think any targets were strongly pursued towards the end of the window; saying that, an enquiry could have been made before Cork - so we win there:)

    I like that about the betting company - those can f**k right off, (and the aap3 logo dosen't look as bad on the kit as I thought) I don't think we'll have a new kit next season though.

    As for Warnock being fined, wonderful!

    At the dinner table does Cortese sit in a chair at the end and like a Bond villain have a button to catapult irksome people seated around the table into s piranha tank?

    imagine how that midfield would have looked:

    Lansbury----Cork----Hammond/----Lallana
    --------------------Schneiderlin

    was this warnock's comments r.e. the sacking of Pardew on MOTD2? or did he utter something else whilst scraping the bottom of another barrel?

    And is the extension the one that is arched on the sides or the additional boxy layer on one side?

    Meaning is it this one which looks great:

    or this one which looks like a poor Old Trafford attempt:

    us offering chambo the same wages shows atleast he didn't leave for money, and did what he thought was best for his career

    No, that is his body double, he was actually disguised as one of the waiters, did every one check their wallets after? Silly? Well you started it!
