Well that’s the full quota of people I was told were coming in in now, wonder if that means our window is now done?

Funnily enough behave ourselves until the skates was exactly what we've been saying, then we got a 96th minute winner against Wrexham and that went straight out the window

I did make two quid in change though so claiming it as money off the stupid price of pints

I'm not sure just how bad Saints would have to be to make you regret missing shed seven and travis to be fair.

There's a huge amount to be proud of when it comes to this country, it's the home to the diggers and levellers, the birthplace of parliament, it's a widely tolerant and secular country and has a long history (post empire at least) of trying to do good around the world.

I'd also add to that for a nation of our size the cultural footprint in music, film, art, literature etc. is pound for pound the most impressive in the world, as our things like our science and engineering (we invented the internet for example).

We also invented or were a big part in inventing global bodies and systems, like the ECHR; UN etc. that are about justness and the right to a dignified life for all people in the world

But as i said before it's the quiet pride i admire, i think a lot of that stems from grandparents generation, the generation who'd actually been through world wars.

They all deeply mistrusted overt nationalism whilst still being proud of their country, and instead taught the mindset of pride without confrontation.

I've always thought the american way of "flags everywhere, saluting the flag, national anthems before everything and pledging at schools" is both creepy and weird, but also shows a deep insecurity of themselves.

It's a bit like the way the skates have to go round telling everyone their bestest fans, because when you actually look into it they're not

I've always had a deep sense of mistrust of any country that goes overtly over the top with flags and nationalism.

For most of my life i've been quietly proud of that the fact that in this country, unlike somewhere like the states, we don't go in for that stuff and just get on with life without too much fuss.

This new "patriots" thing does - somewhat ironically - seem to be an export from the USA to here and a relatively recent thing, probably no more than the last 10years.

To be fair I was told a right back the club were excited about and two players on loan, so I assume the loans are still to come

I make you right on nearly all of that. The only part that's a little wrong is that a group of maybe 15-20 of us have now moved to the chapel next to the away fans (all ex Itchen North) and it's actually surprisingly decent.

I do wonder how long we'll get away with it though as i'm fairly sure the club will clamp down on it.

I'm normally pretty realistic and not optimistic you are right.

But i like what i've seen of Still and think when it starts to click we're going to tear teams apart.

The fact we're not losing when we're playing badly at a point which i expect to be our worst in the season due to bedding a new manager and having a squad that's changing is a massive positive to me.

I also think from what i've seen so far of the league the standard is poor, and we have much better quality than most down here.

I expect top two, i'm hopeful for top, and no i'm not used to thinking like this either

That's not true though, they'd often shift the segregation line in the Northam and open up a new block for sale if the away team didn't sell them.

This was because they could move the segregation under the stand to allow for it. The new set up has both hard walls in the stand and as far as i'm aware no way of moving the segregation in the concourse.

It is ultimately a f*ck up by the club that will cost us money in the long run

It's just another example of why moving the away fans was so f*cking stupid.

Had the away fans been where they were before the first two areas to have sold out would've been the Itchen North and Northam, but because they've moved the away fans the similar areas are now the slowest to sell.

As per everything with that decision it's looking really dumb from the club and it's going to affect a lot of sales across the course of the season i'd guess
