Reply | What ever next? A theme park at St Mary's?
at 17:37 11 Aug 2025
We’re a football club and outside of the immediate City Centre: there’s much a football club can innovatively do to increase revenue. But what has this got to do with football and how is this likely to make money against competitors who specialise in these markets? |

Thread | “Saints need a new striker”
at 14:23 10 Aug 2025
Despite it only been a game in, Jo Tessem has stated on the BBC that Downs is not ready for this level *yet* and that Saints once again need a new striker.
For me, Armstrong works hard to win the ball back but his finishing is suspect. Stewart was the only one to begin winning aerial duels and this was from 80 minutes into the game: the best of the three yesterday. But is it good enough to get out of this league?
We are crying out for the figure of a Kieffer Moore. I thought he was excellent for Wrexham yesterday, despite coming off very early. |

I felt we had too many defenders, leaving us light in midfield. Wood or a fit THB must come in for Edwards, if we must continue with it. Either that or we swap Edwards for a midfielder. Any chance Wrexham had came from the same ball produced from an unchallenged midfield. |

Reply | 5 Things From The Wrexham Game
at 10:18 10 Aug 2025
1. The food options around the ground are vast. Stepping outside after full time felt like being caged in like guinea pigs: surrounded by fan parks. Easy to forget it’s a football ground.
2. Teams are going to come to St. Mary’s and sit back all season. We looked like scoring a bucket-load until their goal, then it was a different game.
3. I’ve forgotten how good it feels to win a football match. My whole mood this morning has been improved - it hasn’t been like this for over a year.
4. The Chapel was enjoyable simply for the fact I didn’t have to listen to proper shite all game - unless it was Wrexham fans and their library shoutouts. I think the atmosphere, with the small amount of people in there, will improve when smaller away followings come. Fair play to Wrexham fans they drowned out the Northam easily.
5. We were a bit further along on the end of the Chapel End “standers”, with most being in the weird box on the end built for what looks like fast-food drive through conversations with away fans, but stand we could with no annoyance. |

No strength on or off the ball. Combine that with an off day in dribbling - his supposedly exceptional attribute - and you have a 10 man team.
Osayi Samuel, another player we were once linked with, was quite impressive. Furthermore, Furuhashi was great, with constant clever movement upfront.
Ipswich only really had a few quality touches, mainly from Szmodics in the first half - in form he could be “too good” for this league.
Ultimately, a couple years ago Ipswich were riding the same momentum train Birmingham are on currently. They had the lucky deflections from shots on their side, and, most important, the belief in winning. They don’t have that anymore. Some of their defenders looks atrocious: constantly allowing the ball to bounce, no spatial awareness whatsoever. |

I fully agree with Grim and TripleNiemi. It’s no wonder we were essentially a laughing stock last season and are going into this with the same lacklustre attitude. Parsons is a massive loser - it’s a wonder how he’s got so far up?
Was he not an internal hire? What was the interview?
“Yeah, no chance really”
“Well, as long as we rival Mcdonald’s and KFC, that’ll do me”
It’s an absolute joke and a waste of what could be successful years watching these clowns run our club. We need him gone for anyone with a proper attitude for winning something - failure to his degree, and his easily swayed excuses for perpetual failure, is not acceptable. |

Anyone have an original idea for a new song? Nice mix of old and new methinks. Additionally, any golden, nostalgic oldies anyone wants an airing?
Will be good to see if the Chapel can be the hub of this - much like the Itchen in 2019/20 ish. Will be interesting. |

The revenue excuse is an easy smokescreen for terrible management. Many successful premier league clubs are surely on par with us in the realm of commercial revenue - the difference between us is recruitment and ambition. |

You can’t get married until 18; you can’t fight in the army until 18; you can pay tax at any age through most purchases. But yet they won’t use the same arguments for those even younger voting. With having kids at 16, you’d have to be very eager.
The manifesto pledge was plainly gerrymandering to get more left wing votes. But it will backfire - the young are mostly polarised to extremes.
I remember school mock elections. No detail put into the issues or reality - just vote Corbyn for freebies was the call! I wish I was joking. Now this age of people will be voting for real. [Post edited 4 Aug 21:16]

I haven’t and don’t plan on voting Reform, but I am right wing / small c conservative. What’s keeping me away mostly - apart from a dislike of Farage’s personality and weirdly cultish following - is the fact I can’t take his manifesto seriously. Do you deem him to be fiscally conservative?
All I see is the right wing version of magic money tree Corbyn. Offering the goodies of the right but with little backup to pay for it, unless you believe net zero will bring in just as much as he says. Most of the tab is riding on this unstable structure. I wouldn’t trust them with the economy. |

Yes, I know of someone who was repeatedly battoned at Fratton station last time out—at the grand age of 15. Going after the proper criminals then. |
