Fully agree with all that has been said. I have made a couple of written complaints (together with suggestions) re. the Social Club over the past couple of years, without response, UNTIL I elevated it this year, but received only "a pat on the head" response - better than a foot up the bac...

A great reason to be part of Saintsational. Thanks for sharing these memories.

A good standard for so long ago. The dropkicks are now a lost art.

The football looks a little larger/more rounded than today's football.
Have the dimensions changed at all?

Just called the Club. They advised that you need to show a membership card. In answer to my question which one - 2010, or 2011 (to date, I have only received my 2011 "ribbon"), I was advised that "either one" would do. As this is a 2010 AGM, I would expect that a 2010 membership ...

Good question. My understanding is that there is a Directors meeting which will be held beforehand, limiting access to 6.30 - 6.45 pm. The dilema is, if there is a big turn-up and access (checking memberships) slows down entry, will they start the meeting right on 7pm? Like getting to Etihad before ...

Not much in this interview at all - "everything going fine." What interested me, was Dave Mission's acknowledgement that the final chapter in "the Bubble" was a little light on, at the Club's request. I posted some comments a few week's ago about this, that it would have been nic...

To Maxstar22, I was at the Doc's first or second training session at the Saints. That he could kick with either foot, amazed evryone in attendance. The footage cannot provide the "electrifying" feeling and expectations generated around the ground about what Doc could/would do as the ball h...

Agree with Life Long Saint. A great read - shows how much "we don't know" about today's football.

A definite soft ending about GF2 and our fitness vs the 'woods. His insight would have been interesting. Hopefully holding back for 2011!

What is clearly a serious breach of trust between players, is not good for team solidarity going forward.

The problewm now is - what's to come, how much publicity, and what instability will it create between players ?? [/list]

Specialist Kicking Skills Coach



Looking at last year's clangers and suggested player positional movement, there seems to be a need for a specialist Kicking Skills Coach, even if only for the pre-season. Alternatively, a lot more practice built into training programmes.

It's called "foot"ball. Any thoughts?
