Ok, so we all know nick-names like wet spam and spuds are pretty pathetic. Likewise Saints being called ‘scummers’ as the word is used by many clubs (at least in the ‘scum’ form) to describe hated rivals. ‘Skates’ on the other hand, is quite brilliant as it is unique to them, historically accurate and grossly insulting. The Blue Few and Portsdown Hillbillies (given their inter-breeding) are also acceptable in my book.
As for other names, I do have a wry smile when I see opposition fans refer to us as ‘Stains’ as it’s a simple rearrangement of our name (and therefore unique), uncomplimentary and also a bit funny. ‘Jam Rags’ and ‘Deck Chairs’ are used for the likes of Sunderland and Stoke as well, so don’t cut it.
Another name I though was quite good recently was West Brom fans referring to Wolves as the ‘Dog Heads’.
Anyone have any more? |  |

Oooh, she’s back. Really what can you possibly hope to achieve on here? Everything you do has the exact opposite effect of what you intend. A couple of decent skate posters on here in the past have at least done their little club proud by making reasoned points, but you?
Your constant cut and paste petty, meaningless rambles just make you and your club seem what they truly are: utterly and irredeemably pathetic. | |

So, does this mean we’re back to “skates” then? I (now) know you were in the RN GG, so must be familiar with this term of endearment... |
Indeed I was Chesh - an airy fairy too as we were known - but I don't recognise the touchy feely RN of today at all. Yes - Skates was always the nickname I remember, and everyone knows the derivation! |  | | |

Did you ever watch the Raleigh documentary a couple of years ago?
Marched in, then it was 'please take a seat' FFS... | | | |

I don't remember it Ron but your description sounds on the mark. Soon it will be first name terms. | | | |

Isn't that supposed to be about the M25? |
But he was driving home to Middlesbrough as I understand it, so both could be correct. |  | | |

Let's be honest, one of the best nicknames for any club in the country is:
Trophy Dodgers
And there are few other clubs in the country to match Soton's sheer underachievement in terms of silverware for size of club. Hardly any clubs can aspire to your club's on-going lack of credibility in the 'filling the trophy cabinet stakes'. [Post edited 14 Dec 2020 14:49]

How does it feel to be in tier 3 skate ?
I suppose you’re used to it having played in the lower leagues for most of your life. |  |
