I guess we'll be phoning around to see if we get someone to play us behind closed doors instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You accept a friendly, then pull out three days before, and it isn’t anything to do with a Covid crisis, an injury crisis, or somesuch? You just decide you’ve changed your mind? It will interfere with your preparations for the season? Fcuk um’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt quite a few will have made plans and booked travel / accommodation. Can just imagine this place if Saints had, for no good reason, pulled out of the Linfield game 3 days ago.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So given the wiggle room within the phrase 'one of the best', both in terms of scope and the total number included, it's reasonable to say we probably are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the roles were reversed, the 'my nan could score 20 a season in Scotland' brigade would be out in full voice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll give us a tougher game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time we had a pretty much complete squad free of loanees? I realise it's a bit of a 'Yer Facebook Da' argument to say that loan players just block the opportunities for our own young players, but when you see our benches full of youth team guys, it's pretty heartwarming. That said, I do wonder if we might still bring a loan in, if they're of sufficient Ronan/Gogic-esque quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not meaningless though in the sense that it's our final pre season friendly and opportunity to get minutes in legs at this point. Guys like Main, Brophy and Olusanya have all been getting back to fitness and Tuesday's game was a potential opportunity for them to get a bit of football before the competitive stuff starts. Scores and performances mean very little at this point but calling off a friendly with less than 72 hours notice is a pretty big pain in the arse for the club and squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume there may be some Hartlepool fans looking for their club to do the same . Forgetting financial costs they have messed up people's plans for Tuesday which is unacceptable and questions yet again how much some clubs bother about their fans . Would have been different if covid or weather had caused postponement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 IIRC the last time Saints played Northampton was the mid sixties, they lost 2-0 in the annual Paisley Charity Cup match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Sorted. So Hartlepool fans who've already arranged travel can come to the Northampton game instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
