Also late April in the 1977/78 promotion season, we got a 1-1 draw from an evening game with a goal from Tony Funnell. If they get up and when the fixtures are released we play them away in late April it would indeed be a potential lucky omen. |

Reply | Goodison Park Memories Thread
at 17:20 9 May 2025
My first visit to Goodison Park was for a midweek FA Cup 5th Round replay in Feb 1981. We lost 1-0 to a goal from Eamonn O’Keefe. Despite having Keegan, Channon & George up front and Stevie Williams in midfield we were disappointing that night. One memory of Goodison from that night was Everton gave Saints a decent allocation of tickets in the top (third) tier of the Bullens Road stand and after you passed through the turnstiles access to the top tier was by escalator! Bit like coming off the tube in central London. We were somewhat awe struck by this as back in 1981 you didn’t have things like this in football grounds! Came back by train on a proper overnight sleeper from Lime St to Euston in the old Mk1 sleeper stock (no, I’m not an anorak or a train spotter). Great way to get back as you could stay in the pub until closing time, then have a takeaway kebab and some tins in the comfort of your own bedroom on wheels followed by a few hours decent kip 🙂 [Post edited 9 May 17:25]

That’s good to hear that there shouldn’t be any clash.
Now Lallana is injured again I suppose you could say that if we lose at Goodson Park next weekend he will have spent the week leading up to the game watching the team Train In Vain.
Also, heartening to hear that Ross Stewart will qualify for a loyalty bonus this summer, apparently he’s looking at buying himself a Brand New Cadillac 😀 |

I’m driving up so I can bring my Dobermann to the parade. I don’t fancy leaving it in the car, well ventilated, to guard it as the last time I parked up a mile from the ground the local scallies wanted a fiver to look after the car; when I pointed out I had a Doberman on the back seat who was quite capable of looking after the car I was was asked by the scallies how good it was at putting out fires… [Post edited 8 May 17:43]

Reply | Would you be happy with Rishi Sunak as a new Saints owner?

That’s a good point, he could do both roles.
He should get the outgoing SR’s approval as he has embraced failure by publicly admitttimg as much on the opening day of the new parliament under the current government.
One proviso: he doesn’t bring Kamikaze Kwartang in as Finance Director 😮
And finally, he can have my daughter’s car booster seat to use in the Directors Box as she’s outgrown it. |

I am beginning to wonder if it is the Saints Foundation who are to blame, perhaps they have found a couple of the intellectually challenged people they assist a job in our recruitment department? |

As the old saying goes, you couldn’t write a script for it. If you did submit it as a script for the series Ted Lasso it would not have made it onto the production company’s boardroom table for consideration. An amazing stat Grim. [Post edited 27 Apr 17:20]

I hope you are right as that will mean he will be demanding a move to stay in the PL. The only problem is finding another PL club mug enough to buy him. At one point, weren’t Leeds interested? If we can find another club that is mug enough then good riddance. |

Reply | The club of Embarrassment
at 17:58 14 Apr 2025
I can’t think of a club that has gone all the way through and out into non-league oblivion in consecutive seasons, but …
Taking on board your question and the division we will be starting in next season, one club does spring to mind, that being, Luton Town.
Season 2006/07 - Relegated: Championship > League 1
Season 2007/08 - Relegated: League 1 > League 2
Season 2008/09 - Relegated: League 2 > Conference National Division
So, from the same starting position, if we emulate what Luton did we would set the most unwanted and embarrassing record ever. I think from memory a lot of Luton’s problems were to do with hefty points deductions that ended up putting them in a position they couldn’t escape relegation from. I suppose to have such clueless muppets as we have in SR running our club it is a handicap of similar proportions to a 30 point deduction!

There wouldn’t be room, from the way Parsons was singing his praises and the multi club format at the last fans forum you’d have to remove his head from Ankersen’s backside first to make room for the brick. 😂 |
