Fair enough Nick. I know it was a sensitive issue and thought twice about including the reference.

Poll: Which manager would you prefer Saints to have?

Not your fault Chesham, sadly it is a situation that is what it is and I have to remove any reference

It would be nice to see some of them pop back, things evolve and things change, but they all added something to the site.

Rightly or wrongly I have always tried to give people their right to say what they want, for some that proved hard to take, for other it proved hard to stop themselves.

Things have calmed down a lot of late, perhaps some who left will find it more to their liking these days.


Congrats for 20 years, Nick. No mean feat in this day and age when everything seems so short-term.

Poll: If we win a play-off semi at St. Mary’s should there be a pitch invasion?

A good 20 years fella.

Remember retelling the 9/11 attack on here as I watched it live on the TV in my office.

Some good banter, inside gossip, loads of bolllox and some good acquaintances.

Keep it up..

All I can say sincerely Nick is thank you. I think the work you do to keep it going and to try and manage it with an eclectic mix of people and audience is a fine balancing act which you do with dignity.

On a personal note, I have gained alot of pleasure from this site. I don't always agree with everything and some of my own posts I think - what on earth possessed me to write that and wish I could withdraw it, but it has been good to have a mix of views and opinions on a range of things and also some good humour.

I have been thankful for the times fellow posters have offered help with tickets, parking etc and once when I could not get a ticket for what was then my little lad, someone stepped in. The majority of people have been good, decent and honest including some that are no longer on here and some of the contentious ones.

Here is to another 20 Nick - though I suspect I might be either dead or in a home by then!

I heavily relied on this site once we were relegated as it was difficult to get any video of non premier league games out here back then. My main way of gauging how we were doing was through reading the “Verdicts” and I always appreciated your considered approach to not get too negative on the way down or be too excitable one the way back up. Similarly the message board was my only real window into transfer activity so thank you for providing this service which I imagine many ex pat fans Have found invaluable.

Yep exactly the same here, when Saints weren't in the prem this site was my only source.

To be honest I'm not sure how you've retained your sanity over the years with all of the rubbish that get's posted on here a lot of the time by all on here, as well as some of the personal abuse you also get - or may be you have lost it :-)

There have been a few torrid times on here, particularly over the last year or so when it got heavy, and I think you did lose quite a few posters at that time. But you managed to control that with a rod of steel and get things almost back on the straight and level. Hopefully the movers may start to return

The beauty is that you let almost any subject be discussed, not just our common denominator, SFC. The board does tend to be very blokey although good to see Suzie on here a few times to keep us back in check?

There is a great variance of opinions on here for all subjects, Saints or politics or general gossip, as well I think quite an age difference(?) There must also be quite a few voyeurs who read those opinions but don't get involved in the discussions, but what's up with that?

There have also been quite a few entertaining and amusing times as well as the infamous ITK'rs to keep us up with the news of all these world class players Saints are about to sign , but it starts a debate ..........

Not sure how long I've been on here or how many posts I've put on (I'm sure there's a way of finding out?) But I'm guessing some 10 years or so - well it feels like it. Being the non-confrontational type probably more ignored than argued with, but you get used to that

Anyway, keep up the good work

Oh, and all on here keep up the banter - it's quite harmless

I think Nick ought to set out a list of current members (those still here) and those that have left..

Some of the skates who’ve been on here down the years have been quite fun and it would be interesting to recall them...

Maybe a blanket email saying we haven't seen you for a while like all the cr@p emails we allget trying to entice us back to buy from a supplier we used once 6 years ago

Not sure what incentives to use though .......
