    Hi guys,


    Seen a few people around who received their season card today, accompanied with a FAQ booklet and DVD of the last 3 seasons.

    If you've not already received your Season Ticket booklet - here it is:

    Anyway, in the DVD, this is shown:

    Just shared this with a Man Utd work colleague of mine - he is well impressed... Seems we are starting to get a little bit of respect now. (fyi He is was also well impressed with Oxo when we played them in the cup the season before last and he also thinks we have a good chance of finishing around 13th..)

    Looks good, but it also looks nothing like the area around St Mary's currently. Either it's a very early artist's impression or if it is actually planned I'd suggest it looks more like a new stadium elsewhere than a redeveloped St Mary's.

    That's what I thought. But the council outlined plans to build a "Saints Square" opposite the ground and redevelop around the marina area also, so who knows. Looks impressive though.

    Looks like a completely new development away from St Mary's to me. Costly.

    Thats definetely SMS though, you can see the Britannia Road turn off and roundabout, as well as the spikes just about visible over the top - the itchen can't be extended upon because of the corporate boxes

    Yeah the road looks similar and the Itchen stand is sort of recognisable, but what about the Kingsland? It looks like it's extended onto the railway line, and the rest of the surrounding area is very different. I guess these artists' impressions can look somewhat overambitious.

    I wouldn't get your hopes up, the amount of 'artist impressions' we saw of a new/redeveloped Fratton Park was ridiculous. Then again, you seem to actually have a competent board! :cheesy:

    I know the megastore could do with being a bit bigger on matchdays, but surely not that big. There must be other things there too?

    Possibly a media conference centre, meaning the current one in St. Mary's could be stripped out and perhaps put more corporate stuff in there?

    Just a possibility.

    They could go the whole way and build a football ground with a huge leisure complex on a floating barge and take it on tour during pre-season.
