Not so sure. They still got 2nd in a place that has always been Labour. People want change, and are lashing out voting for extreme right and extreme left parties. Green party 1st, Reform 2nd in an area where Labour normally wins easily.
The local elections will be an earthquake of people saying they are angry and want change. Greens and Reform will sweep the floor of the major parties, who people have had enough of. Life doesn't work for them and this was the same way before Brexit.That was also a protest vote to say "We want change, now". [Post edited 27 Feb 14:06]

Interestingly, in a Labour voting area, a left leaning area, Reform got 2nd. Does that suggest that Reform will certainly get voted for, in many right leaning areas?
Ultimately, do your job Starmer and get things done, that people want done. [Post edited 27 Feb 13:53]

The game is next Saturday isn't it. Be difficult to release tickets say next Thursday, 2 days before the game, unless they don't want to sell the whole end. [Post edited 27 Feb 13:17]

Why not the full 1700 so that we have the whole end? [Post edited 27 Feb 12:46]

As I said, many people were losing before the Brexit vote, so it's not just Brexit is it? Many people in poor areas voted for Brexit too, not just rich people. They were struggling then before Brexit, and nothing has changed, hence the sudden popularity of the Green party. [Post edited 27 Feb 11:54]

The Greens are appealing to certain types of people, who are fed up of struggling, can't afford a house, can't pay the bills, fed up of being told what to do by ungrateful, selfish bossess, in many cases, earning nowhere near enough to cover all the bills.
And for those blaming Brexit, just remember that people were struggling way before the vote to leave and many struggling people voted for it, because they were fed up of being ignored. And after Brexit, these people are still being ignored, the towns continue to close down, drugs, knife crime feeling overwhelming, immigration a mess, people are looking for a solution to issues that under Labour and the Tories just don't get solved.
But yes, it is ironic that a 36 per cent Muslim area, has voted for a party with a gay leader, who thinks that women can have c@cks. It really is a mad world at the moment. [Post edited 27 Feb 11:38]

There will be a hung parliament if either or both of the main parties don't get their act together. It definitely could be a "mess".
Reform will win in most of the Conservative supporting areas.
Greens will win in the Labour supporting areas.
Liberal Democrats will also take some seats. |

It just seems really quiet and even silent at times. The passion at Birmingham, Millwall with fans in all 3 sides of the ground fiercely supporting their team, is a totally different place. So many of our fans just sit there in silence and even when the Northam sings, it's not very fierce. It's a slow version of oh when the Saints, like it's being sang at church, hence you can't hear it at the other end. It's not fierce enough. Moving the away fans has destroyed the atmosphere.

I can see a group of Saints fans at the top.of the Chapel next to the away fans, maybe about 50 people? The rest of the block is empty in most games. It's like nobody wants to be there. I can imagine the banter between those 50 or so fans next to the away support being fun, but it's really quiet in the stadium. Can you hear the Northam from where you are? [Post edited 25 Feb 23:37]

That's true and I suspect at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, the Saints fans will be excellent, and we will dominate Hillsborough. But St Mary's is really quiet at the moment, and yet we have recently been getting excellent results. The Chapel is sparse with empty seats everywhere especially in the block next to the away fans, and do they ever sing over there? |

It looks like we can realistically catch Wrexham and Hull, but no way we are catching Millwall, 9 points ahead, or Ipswich who are 7 ahead with 2 games in hand.
Hull are 7 points ahead of us, which seems like a mountain to climb, although as you say, they are playing some of the other playoff teams, so could lose a couple of games. Wrexham are the only team we have left to play, apart from Ipswich but have discounted them. So we can in theory beat Wrexham at their place to be one point behind. I think we can get 6th, but it will be very difficult. We need two wins, whilst Wrexham lose two, and then we play them away. All possible, but difficult. |

What is annoying about crowds is that in the PL, evening games were sell outs and some tickets in the stadium were £80 each. We also got thrashed every week. They can make the games then? Unfortunately, because we are only playing QPR, even season ticket holders don't bother turning up, I am a season ticket holder and haven't missed a single game. It is annoying that, especially when Saints are winning games, people can't be bothered to go. We seem to have a good 25 thousand loyal fans, and the rest disappear when it's cold, it's on TV or when we arn't playing a top team. As Nick says, it disappointing when there 30k plus for PL evening games.
And with so many empty seats, and since the away fans were moved, the atmosphere is really poor. Every away team is chanting "library" and the sparse fans next door sit there and do nothing. Although, it did get quite loud at 4 and 5 nil yesterday. [Post edited 25 Feb 23:23]

Absolutely he should stay. The only thing that would change things is if we had a disastrous end to the season and finished in the lower half of the table.
The benefits of keeping him next season in the championship:
- He knows the club, including the players coming from the youth team.
- Next season, he will have had Championship experience.
- The summer will be a period of stability with the same manager, hopefully not too much player changes, rather than the chaos of a new manager settling in.
- The players are playing for this guy.
- I don't trust SR to get anyone better
- He is inexperienced but he has done an impressive job, so full credit to him.
- I like the performances on the pitch now.
- He wasn't too stubborn, too arrogant to go 4 4 2.
Whether he has what it takes to get us promotion, only time will tell. Yes, there is a question mark about his experience to achieve this definitely, but he has done well.in a calm and impressive style. I would welcome a calm summer with a settled manager and squad knowing who their boss will be. [Post edited 24 Feb 17:39]

The problem is that there is far too much labelling. Left, right, fascist, socialist etc when the majority of us just want a sensible, common sense government. If you welcome people from foreign lands to do the wonderful job they do in the NHS and other areas, but want to stop the chaos of people risking their lives in a dinghy and want to stop foreign criminals coming over (we have enough of our own!) does that make you a fascist? If you think that it's unfair that foreign people who come over on a dinghy get a hotel but we have many of our own homeless on the streets, does that make you a fascist? People.need to stop.labelling people as this and that or being abusive. This is why we are getting support for extreme parties, because some of us arn't able to see both sides or understand where people with a different opinion are coming from, just calling each other names.
If a party could just be sensible, for example child benefit for 3 kids, not 10, legal immigration welcomed, but not illegal, police on the streets, hard work rewarded, laziness not etc etc. But none of the main parties are being sensible and none of them can be trusted. So then you get a. ot of support for extreme parties. It's not rocket science really. But the main parties are too busy pleasing their members, protecting their jobs and doing dodgy deals rather than doing the best thing for the country. |

Reply | 5 Things About The Charlton Game
at 21:56 22 Feb 2026
1) I have to agree, the crowd were very quiet. Charlton fans were right, we are a library. I understand when the players are giving nothing, but being on the verge of the playoffs, and the players are giving everything now, you would expect more support. Maybe the way Charlton played just bored everyone to tears. Moving the away fans has made the atmosphere worse. The away fans chant at the Saints fans next to them, and get absolutely no response. Are they red and white zombies or.just shy?
2) Is it about defending slender leads, or should we be putting games to bed? We missed so many chances.
3) Why do so many people go downstairs on the 35th minute, not come back until the 60th minute (so many missed Stewart's goal), and then leave on the 80th minute? If they just want beer, go to a pub on Saturday afternoons?
4) Downes was lucky. He headbutted the Charlton player and would have been sent off with VAR. Charlton though and their theatrics to time waste was painful. This time wasting really is ridiculous when they roll around as if they are severely injured, then get up no problem. it really is a.miracle.
5) The keeper should have done better with the goal. Bazunu though was letting in goals like that every other week, so I am not in a rush to get him back. Big game on Tuesday. Win and we are still in it. Lose and our season is slipping away. [Post edited 22 Feb 22:17]
