Looking at those figures , then it is an excellent effort , hopefully many will return and be rewarded with a few wins later in the season

Look forward to seeing you down here. It's only small but friendly enough and surprisingly cheap in some of the town centre pubs as Hull found out last weekend.

Duggan for Mathers?

Nah.

Well, I'm really pleased you got such a good turnout on your first home game in SL. It's great news too that you're getting good coverage locally and that there is some real interest in what is happening. I hope the club can build on that over time.

I'm really looking forward to my first trip to Bridgend. I can only afford about two away games this season and the Saints match with Celtic is one I just can't miss!

You'll enjoy it.

The facilities aren't that great and not a JJB or KC but the fans are friendly enough and you can get a good drink and a bit of food in the surrounding area or head to cardiff if you want a bit more and the big city night out.

Hey, I'm a Saints fan. You wait until you have the joy of a visit to Knowsley Road. Whatever factilities you have down there will be luxurious by comparison!

I'm really looking forward to the visit.

I like the old grounds though. At least they have a little character.

The new grounds are soulless in comparison and don't have a unique feel at all.
