We want your pictures of Saints in the capital - anything to do with the club on street signs, roads, notice boards - wherever. Send your pix to sakeenan@gmail.com and we'll send you a London Saints car sticker.
1. Thanks to LSSC Arran Frood for snapping one of the Saints' own trucker fleet on the A1 hear Hendon. I think they're based at Luton airport - the Saints' version of Eddie Stobart.
2. Ah, the Southampton Arms... there used to be one of those in Camden but it got renamed - but where is this one? Let me know and win a sticker - thanks to Paul Wathan for the snap.
Update: This from Martyn Brockwell - "I do believe the "Southampton Arms" in the picture is in Covent Garden? If it is, then In the early days, we went there as a Committee to try and see if we could use it for an HQ, but no luck. Alternatively, we were out on the razzle yet again and this just happened to catch our eye!" - thanks Martyn but WRONG!
On his second attempt, Martyn was closer to the money: "Although I don't think I ever made it there myself, is this "Southampton Arms" the one in Gospel Oak / Highgate area? My memory has been churning back to when we were looking for a pub with an appropriate name and one of the "North London Mob" mentioning a couple up their way, one of which has since changed name as you rightly say. Having ruled out the Covent Garden one and the one in
Camberwell I used to drive past being just "The Southampton" (I think), I am left with this latest thought?"
But he was pipped to the post by the definitive answer from Dave Thomas: "Is the pub in the picture on the main page The Southampton Arms in Highgate Road just up from The Forum , The old Town and Country Club where I spent many a fine hour?" It is Dave - a car sticker is in the post.
3. Staying in Camden, this is the well-named Greek Orthodox cathedral spotted by yours truly. Seen any more images of Saints about town?
