Not seen a single comment mentioning fascism, just people questioning the dubious nature of Farage's extreme opinions.

I personally find it extremely worrying/depressing to see people like him get oxygen (the same is true on the other side of the divide with people like Galloway) and he definitely has shades of Mosley like Nick mentioned.

Personally i'd hope as a nation we're better than that, which it seems the majority are as he is polling at less 20% so not even close to a majority

Sorry his own words isn't trustworthy? I mean i'm inclined to agree for different reasons but fair enough

The one thing I’ve always been quietly proud of about our nation is that we don’t do loud nationalism and we don’t do extremism. It was always a point of pride to look at the excess and division across the pond or in europe and think we as a nation were better than that, I just hope we don’t let that trait go because it’s a great one

then there's this

and him singing hitler youth songs

Plus there's the subtext of racism in a lot of what he says, but he's actually a very canny operator and knows how to go "just close enough" without going over the line

incitement to racial hatred is an offence under the 2006 law, it's why so many skirt around the edges without directly saying it.

As for Farage, of course he's a racist, he's had a long history of aligning with racist parties, has multiple talking about his racist beliefs and has been recorded as singing pro-nazi songs in his past and racially abusing jewish people.

I'm not really sure how anyone can not see that he's a racist f*ckwit, and in times gone by would've been completely ostracised from British public life as the majority of the country despise people like that

Season ticket sales looking good. How many will we sell?
at 15:17 12 Jun 2024

Interesting that's a really big uplift. I wonder if it's 4k more than the pre-season sale of season tickets (so ones for the whole season) or 4k more than the combined sales of season tickets and half season tickets (which would be far more impressive)

what i want is a home game against a side we can beat, or an away game somewhere that's good for summer aways (Brighton, Fulham, Bournemouth)

What i expect is Liverpool, Man City or Man U

Ian Andrews had a few decent games if i remember rightly, the problem was he was following Timmy who's up there as one of the best we've had

Probably partially responsible for Branfoot getting sacked was Moody. When that idiot started picking him ahead of Le Tiss Branfoot's spell was basically over

They might not have encouraged you on the last game (i don't count the brighton game as the last game) but plenty of us did.

I pulled mine up in the archers and used it to scoop some of the turf up when everyone went on the pitch, the turf was planted in my mum's garden (i was living in a flat at the time and didn't have a garden) and i donated my seat to the Wagon when Jason re-did it so it's up on the wall there now (along with my copy of the infamous "hope you die soon" branfoot OTM).

We also broke into the Dell well after they'd shut it - with the help of a friendly security guard who caught us trying to rip the milton road road sign off the side of it and just let us in instead).

Plus one drunken night out we removed the massive wrought iron gate that used to close the rat run from the archers to the milton road, think we got about 20foot down the road with it before giving up because it was too heavy and we were too drunk

Top 5 grounds I am not excited about going to next season
at 19:02 6 Jun 2024

Similar to others I guess

1. Wolves, worst ground in the league for away fans as your on a low tier at the side and it’s shit to drink to
2. West Ham, because the stadium is sh*t but on the plus side there’s some great pubs
3. Bournemouth, their desperate attempts to create a rivalry annoy me to the extent I don’t bother going now
4. Newcastle, what’s the point? We never win there
5. Fulham, mainly cause I’m bored of it and it costs a fortune for a pint

Saying that I’ll probably end up doing them all because what else are you going to do on a Saturday?

Kachloul was a good player for us at the time, though the general standard of that side wasn't great, which was proven by how annoyed people were when he left

And still so many missing, players like Stig Johanson (i think i spelt that right?), Scott Hiley, Van Gobbel, and i'm sure there's more lurking in brain somewhere too

i can't remember Chala ever getting a game other than pe-season, think he was mostly there to keep Delgado company.

Talking of which Delgado has been waiting a very long time to come back and celebrate with us in the streets when we win the league (which he promised he'd do when he left)

Lee Todd is the single worst footballer i've seen play for Saints (and i include Ali Dia in that too).

I'd also argue for Paul Wotton who had the footballing ability of a breeze block, and as controversial as this is i'd probably also include Franny (despite him being a great bloke he really wasn't a great footballer).

Funnily enough the hardest position for me is probably keeper, Kelvin would be a good shout there (in the time i've been going), and despite what Nick says Gav is definitely thereabouts

Strikers is somewhere we have an abudance of shitnesss, Dixon, Speedie, Paul Moody, Neil Bartlett (remember him?) and Frankie Bennet spring to mind for me

Not sure which game you went to but they definitely didn't sit in silence the times i've been, probably one of the loudest grounds i've been to in the country and the chip butty song is one of the best chants any club has.

I personally like old fashioned football grounds (not stadiums) and Brammal Lane still feels tight to the pitch and the fact it has proper "ends" makes it feel more intimidating.

Plus of course Sheffield is a cracking day out for the beer

Top 5 grounds I am excited about going to next season

if you ignore the ground i actually enjoy West Ham, some brilliant pubs in Hackney and some alright places in Hackney Wick (even if they're eye wateringly expensive)

Not really too fussed about any of them as i've done them all multiple times but if i had to choose

1. Ipswich because it's a good away day for pubs and i've got some mates there
2. Manchester United, better than City for pubs as you have places like the briton's protection & Peveril of the Peak near oxford road
3. Everton/Liverpool, again more for the day out than the ground/game
4. Brighton because it's always a great day out and an alright ground
5. Forest, the city ground is a cracking ground and Notts is a great city to drink in

I used to love London Road when it was a proper covered terrace but i think it's now seating sadly.
