Save the Saints
April 4th, 2009 . posted by admin
Hi all,
As you may or may not have heard (probably not I would guess) our staff member Matt’s very own beloved Southampton FC is facing oblivion.
Formed in 1885 they have had a rich and varied footballing history which is in very real danger of coming to an abrupt and premature end this season. The club has gone into administration and faces the possibility of being liquidated, which means my lifelong team will be no more.
Rather than getting you all down with a dull video of the administration process (that I had up yesterday), here’s a little video of some of our best bits, featuring the God that is the Tiss:
So ‘What can I do to help?’ I hear you ask, well I give you four options:
1) Join the facebook group ‘Save Southampton Football Club’
2) Go to the three remaining home matches, tickets for the match against Charlton are a mere £15 and they do a very nice chicken tikka pie.
3) Buy something from the club shop. They have a real big sale on right now (for obvious reasons), and are offering 50% off and buy one get on free on everythng. As if that wasn’t enough, you also get a free home game ticket with the purchase of a home shirt.
4) Buy the club (debts are currently around 30 million but I’m sure they would do a deal)
Now I know not all of you will be fans of my team, in fact on closer inspection it appears currently only 12 of you are. However remember the players, Arsenal fans – without us there would be no Theo Walcott. Spurs fans – no Saints no Gareth Bale… The list goes on and on (well that’s it really but you get the point).
So do what you can if you have the time. If you feel the need to flame me feel free, but hopefully you’ll see the chance to help possibly save a team with a great history or maybe even definitely save the team (if you happen to have 30 million squid knocking about) and plump for option 4.

We just have to save Southampton! I have been a fan for a relatively short time, only 10 years, but my heart is all red and white and therefore would break if we disappeared…
There must be someone out there with money he/she wants to put to use!
Come on you SAINTS!!
