That is very interesting. Yeah I wanna see the Saints in the W column. But doesn't the City of New Orleans need the business? And what of the season ticket holders? Shame though for those fans who hoped to be in the Superdome, that day.

Many many many years ago I went to Raiders v Saints at Wembley in the American Bowl (1990 I think). I loved it cos I was in the UK then and I was watching my beloved Saints.

But the one strong memory I had was an old New Orleanian man walking ever so slowly down Wembley Way. Now he was the business. You could see, you could feel what the Saints meant to him. But I thought how in the hell did he afford that trip.

I realized there and then I chose the right team. With fans like that, the soul of the Saints lives forever. To you guys, my deepest respect.
