Chapter 964 Super Saint

"Hey, Harry!"

When the bar owner of Saints Harry, Harry with a rosy nose passed the security room of Glory Square, the security guard standing at the door on duty greeted him with a smile. He was an out-and-out celebrity among the Saints fans.

Especially the Saint Harry's Bar he founded, which was featured in the club's official magazine.

"Hi, you are on duty this morning."

"yes."

After greeting each other, Harry quickly passed the security check in the security room, got on the bridge, and went straight to the artificial island.

It was still early at this time, and the shops in Glory Plaza hadn't opened yet, and they didn't open until around noon at the earliest, so the huge Glory Plaza seemed very empty.

As soon as Harry walked into the Glory Plaza, there was a van parked at the entrance of the passageway, as if it was being loaded.

At first, he thought it was a delivery, but gradually he felt wrong.

Because he is Southampton's groundsman Paul.

"Strange, what's going on?" Harry was a little puzzled.

He is a very curious person, especially at this sensitive time, so he walked in the direction of the truck.

"Hey Paul!"

When Paul heard the voice, he turned around. When he saw Harry, he immediately laughed, "So it's you, Harry."

"What's going on?" Harry walked over and found that it was loading.

But what is even more puzzling is that the goods loaded by the stadium staff are nothing but the turf of the stadium.

"Hehe, you know, turf has a lifespan, and the stadium needs to be replaced with a new batch of turf."

Harry snorted, it's nothing to be surprised about.

Southampton's style of play pays attention to smooth passing and receiving, and has high requirements for turf. Therefore, it is not surprising that Glory Stadium also attaches great importance to the maintenance and replacement of turf.

"How long does it take to change?" Harry asked casually.

These replaced turf,

It is said that it is still useful, and will be sent to some places in need for free.

"Well, usually, it will be faster, but this time it is estimated to be longer."

"Why?" Harry was a little surprised, "The weather has been nice recently."

"It has nothing to do with the weather!" Paul said with a smile, "The higher-ups have already notified that there will be activities in the Glory Stadium in a few days, and the turf is not going to be laid for the time being. We will talk about it after the event is over."

"Is there an event?" Harry was taken aback.

It is actually quite normal to arrange activities on the football field.

For example, Wembley Stadium is often leased to people to hold rugby matches, or to hold concerts and concerts.

But the Glory Stadium has not been rented out yet.

"What important person is coming? What kind of activities are you doing?"

"You don't know?" Paul frowned and smiled slightly.

"How do I know..." Harry was taken aback when he said this, "Could it be..."

"You said it, but I didn't!" Paul laughed loudly, "Probably you will receive the notification in a day or two."

Harry stood there in disbelief, and the staff used electric vehicles to send the turf out of it in piles and loaded it into the truck, he was a little stunned.

Messi is coming!

He is really coming!

The strongest superstar in the world is going to join Southampton!

An unprecedented feeling of happiness enveloped Harry, which he never had even when Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined the team.

You know, although the Swedish center was powerful at the time, he had just encountered a Waterloo in Barcelona.

But now Messi is completely different. He is a veritable world number one superstar, at the pinnacle of his career.

Moreover, Ibrahimovic's strength and personal image are not as good as Messi.

"Paul, can you tell me about the specific situation?" Harry hurriedly grabbed Paul's hand and asked.

"Uh... I'm not very clear about the specific situation. I only know that the club plans to hold an unveiling ceremony. What's more, all fans with club season tickets and memberships can enter the Glory Stadium for free."

After a pause, Paul added: "It is said that the entire Glory Square will cooperate with the publicity at that time, and you will be notified soon."

Harry nodded, of course.

Messi's joining ceremony, I don't know how many fans will be attracted by then.

If the Glory Plaza didn't know how to take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with the promotional activities, wouldn't the management personnel of the Plaza be sprayed to death by the saliva of the merchants?

If the information Paul said is correct, that is to say, as long as fans hold club season tickets and memberships, they can enter the stadium for free on a first-come, first-served basis.

In other words, whoever comes first will be able to grab the front row.

Thinking of this, Harry's whole body burned.

He's not doing it for himself, because he's here, and it's not easy to get a good position?

The key is that his fans will!

"No more, Harry, I have to go in and work!" Paul patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Paul, I'll buy you a drink later, for a week, for free!" Harry said with a smile.

Paul also laughed straight away, this guy with a bad nose always bribes with wine, but I like it!

On the way back to the bar, Harry had already started to think in his mind that he must pass this news to the fans of his fan club as soon as possible, so that those fans who do not have membership qualifications but want to participate in Messi's appearance ceremony, Hurry up to apply for membership.

…………

…………

A fiery red Aston Martin successor speeds by on Southampton's ring road.

Pass through the site of the former St Mary's Stadium, which was razed to the ground not long ago.

When we arrived at the Royal Wharf, we quickly found a place in the internal parking lot and got in.

There was a screech of the brakes, and the car stopped safely.

A stylish British young man in his early thirties, wearing a neat suit and tie, got out of the car.

Tweeting twice, after locking the car door, stepping on her shiny leather shoes, she headed towards Glory Square.

If there is no special reason, no one can drive into the Glory Square. This is a rule established by Southampton.

When passing through the security gate, he showed his ID card, swiped it, and the green light passed.

He is the head of the Southampton branch of Citibank and the youngest branch head in Greater London.

Just like the city he was in, it was the rising sun in the morning, about to shine.

It was still early, but after he crossed the bridge, the gate of Quedu Harry’s Bar was full of people.

Not only that, a long queue of people also extended to the door of the Citibank business hall.

Uh, no, it should be extending from the gate of the Citibank business hall.

what happened?

Jamie Cloud walked over quickly and came to the gate of the business hall.

The gate has been opened, but the black security guards of the bank are guarding the gate as if facing a formidable enemy, and will not allow anyone to enter. From time to time, in the face of inquiries, they will reply, "Sorry, it's not yet business hours, please wait .”

Then there was a murmur from the crowd.

"Hey, Jordan, what's the situation?" Jamie Crowder came over and asked with a frown.

"Hey, Mr. Claude!" Jordan, the black security guard, immediately nodded and saluted.

"It's like this. They are all Southampton fans and they are going to apply for a fan membership card."

The fan membership card, a credit card used by Southampton to count fans' points, was jointly launched by the Saints and Citibank. All fans have one. It adopts a real-name system and cannot be resold or rented. It is a certificate for Saints fans.

"A membership card?" Jamie Cloud frowned.

Of course he knows what a membership card is, and this is something he and the Southampton club have worked out together, for which he is still greatly appreciated at the headquarters.

Except for the period when it was just launched, although many people usually come to do it, when will it be like this?

This long line of people almost lined up on the bridge, at least a few hundred people, right?

"Hey, are you from the bank?" A fan wearing a Saints jersey at the front obviously respected Jamie Crowder of the black security team, so he asked aloud.

"Yes, I am the branch president, Jamie Crowder."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Claude!" The fan was also very polite, "But, can you please start business as soon as possible."

"Why so many people?" Jamie Crowder was a little strange.

"You don't know?" The player was a little surprised.

Not only him, but many people around were equally surprised.

It was like, not knowing is a pretty outrageous thing to do.

"What's the matter?" Jamie Crowder was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be looked at like this.

"Messi's appearance ceremony, as long as you have a membership or a season ticket, you can enter for free."

Jamie Crowder was taken aback, what else?

The long queue lined up before him couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

He would never have imagined that Messi would still be so attractive.

You know, this is just a joining ceremony.

If they really want to say so, it is estimated that Southampton tickets will become extremely sought-after.

"Mr. Claude, can I trouble you to start business as soon as possible, there are already more and more people now, and there will be more people in the future."

"Yeah, we came here after receiving the news. Others will definitely come later, and there will be more people by then."

"Isn't it? Hurry up, let's do it first, and I have to think about how to spend and earn points later."

"Messi has really joined, and he will definitely join us in the new season!"

"Isn't it? I just want how strong our team will be after Messi joins!"

"From now on, we will be super saints, meeting gods and killing gods, meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas!"

A group of Southampton fans chatted about the prospect of Messi joining, and everyone was overjoyed.

Jamie Crowder was a little distressed. It would definitely not be possible to open early, but now there are indeed more and more people, so he hurriedly asked the City of London for help.

However, before asking for help, Jamie Crowder did not forget to call Southampton and asked about Messi's joining ceremony with complaints. It turned out that the Saints were also very innocent.

"We originally only wanted to attract season tickets and membership fans, but we didn't know where the news got out. As a result, it spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and now everyone knows the news, let alone Southampton, even London, Even people from other cities in the UK flocked here one after another, just like going to a market during the festival."

Jamie Crowder accepted Southampton's explanation and apology, and it is estimated that they are really unwilling to have this happen.

It can only be said that who can imagine that Messi's joining ceremony is still so attractive to ordinary fans?

It is estimated that by then, the entire Glory Square will be crowded again.

The number one superstar in the world, after all, is still the number one superstar in the world!

At least the joining of Tottenham Hotspur's Cristiano Ronaldo did not have such a big momentum and battle.

Even North London has attracted more than 30,000 people to White Hart Lane this time.

But compared with Messi, it is still much inferior.
