Saints Stuff

Sam Wallace of the Telegraph has also gone for 10th, but with a more positive slant...calling it stability and using a system that works.

 

10th would pretty good imo considering all the changes and the fact we've got an EL campaign to deal with.

 

I'd be OK with 10th and a good run in the EL. Think we're capable of better though.

Saints overhauling their digital strategy. Have no idea what this is about, but obviously exciting....if you actually care.

 

I didn't understand a word of it either.

 

BBC reporting Maya enjoying a meal out... Looks like Leicester's striker to me!

Virgin subsidising every visiting fan to SMS as well. Must be the greatest sponsors ever.

 

Very impressive move - major positive PR. Good on them!

 

A sponsor of one club, marketing itself in a positive way to away fans too. Excellent marketing.

 

Okazaki.

 

Shows what a marketing department with some actual brains and a little bit of money can do.


No offence to any marketing types on here.

 

Also reflects well on us...even if we haven't done anything directly.

 

Very good preview of our season in the Guardian -

Mark Forbes retweeted this photo from 1949. Those were the days.

 

Just need Laces to come along and tell us the names of his childhood heroes in it...

 

Or perhaps his classmates.

 

And in one move Virgin Media have managed to appeal to fans of all 20 Premier League Clubs.

Well done them!

 

There are a couple of photos of this subject. The one above and one taken from a slightly lower angle. We went through identifying the players a few years back. Ted Bates is amongst them. The great Charlie Wayman is second in from the left in the dark suit. Obviously before my time, but it's called reading up on your club's history.

 

Have to agree, with your comment, but the Saints fan inside my head would prefer fewer visiting fans, driving their team on, when we are trying to hold on to a 1 goal lead.

 

Adds to the atmosphere...there will still be more of us than them. Up to Saints fans to be noisy.
