    Moving away from the transfer window…

    Anyone annoyed at the use of moving advertisment boardings at St Mary's. Having been a season ticket holder over the last few years I haven't seen these put in place before. I sit in the Kingsland in the middle of the stand so when viewing players the advertisment boardings come directly behind the players. Having bet365 flashing about, it's really quite off putting and spoils the view. It's ok for those in the executive box as there are no advertisement boards running alongside the kingsland stand, which faces it.

    Thought of a clever ruse...let's flash adverts the same colour as the United strip...we know how they struggle to see kits.

    Someone said Saints make £20,000 a minute from it...think it's there to stay.

    What I do right, is watch the game on the pitch. Ingenious, I know.

    Well they have to go somewhere. They aren't missing from the Kingsland side for the viewing pleasure of Nicola, it's because the main camera doesn't point at it. I don't know the figures but I'm willing to bet they do bring in a lot considering the pictures are beamed to millions around the world.

    I do find them distracting a would prefer them not to be flashing during play action.

    I'd prefer Nicola focuses on other aspects such as how difficult and time-consuming it is to purchase food and drink at half-time
