TheYellowBox Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 These are definitely still good times. Probably the best. Great post Jim. I remember that the triple additions of Wullie Brown, Steve Evans and Charlie Adams to that team pumped 5 - 1 at home to Medowbank seemed to herald a new golden age. Shows how bad we were and how far we've come. Part of the fun of supporting your local team even when the ground is 90 miles away ! That was my first saints game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy rhodes fancy watch Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Co-efficient was better then though. But that's because Scottish football overall was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 But that's because Scottish football overall was better. Because a lot of teams were spending money they didn't have. Oldermoresensiblepack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byebyedundee Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 The balance then with money is the same balance now.....

Oldermoresensiblepack Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Got tae agree with Fancy Watch on this. Clubs overspent all the way through 80's 90's. A fee of them didn't survive a few of them took the administration and made their way back. And 1 of them went bust owing millions and came back pretending nothing happened. And another 1 went bust and was saved by a rich fan. Saints are a club run within their means. And we WON a cup we didn't BUY IT.
