Yes they were poor hardly heard them from Itchen North. I thought our support was brilliant yesterday . The Northam was loud and I could see lots going on in the chapel from our lot although you can’t always hear them but we all know how Shyte the acoustics are.
As for the fence rattling as I walked past I could see just fans baiting each other through the fencing until police on horseback arrived and cleared the saints fans away. I did hear one copper got injured though.
Away - 1984 Steve Moran bang thank you goodnight.! There was no way back for them and it was the biggest spare I’ve ever had 9000 saints fans going absolutely mental I ended up on the floor about five rows down almost got crushed to death ffs😎 thisjust about beats Shane Long’s winner at Anfield to put us through to Wembley but not much in it. The second best away has to be in 1976 when Channon virtually relegated the skates but I have to admit as a 15 year old nipper I was bricking it especially seeing half the Fratton end make their way towards us at the end.
Home- the FA cup game at The Dell 1996 when we hammered them 3-0. I remember Jim Magilton scoring . The skates were as quiet as church mice up in the east stand upper.
I more worried about injuries to key players Peretz and Larin we need these two for Sunday . It Would be good to have Jander back in the squad though .
I’m not sure what the urgency is ,what will be will be . Tonda just needs to go about his normal buisness as do the players. I don’t think the players are affected by the wait .I realise I might be in the minority here.
For me it’s The Cricketers . Just a great atmosphere on match days . I used to use this pub before games at The Dell so it kind of feels like home to me. I used to like The Belgian blues bar too also The Lion Bedford place is ok and 5 Rivers is good too before games.
One of the games which stood out for me was watching Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge destroy Glamorgan I think it was a 60 over Gillette cup match but it could have been Benson and Hedges cup. They were smashing it all over the ground, 371-1 they finished I think . Barry Richards was the greatest batsman I’ve ever seen. Such a shame he wasn’t allowed to perform regularly for South Africa.
Absolutely love the game. Played for about 38 years from primary school right up to my late forties where I played Hampshire league . I regret finishing too early on and I’m thinking about playing indoor cricket this winter. As for the transport, for me if I want a few beers I can get a train from Winchester to parkway and then shuttle bus from parkway and there’s regular busses and trains back but I drive quite a bit too. As for the Rose Bowl being soulless it’s a superb ground ffs that’s why it’s been selected for the ashes, it’s not all about getting pissed and chanting lol although I did get bladdered many times in the 80’s at Northlands road
