Pronounce it properly FFS!!!!!!!

[LENNY LEADS THE WAY]

It's not Saint Kilda never has been Saint Kilda and never will be Saint Kilda.

This annoys me no end, when i hear Ross Lyon talk about what's best for the Saint kilda football club or when Dal says he love playing for Saint Kilda.

Can some1 start a petition and send it to the club.

I'm with you 100% on this 100% of the time also.....you may do with altering your sig perhaps until Rossy gets with the picture!

[Spinner]

How do you pronounce it then?

I usually go with S'Kilda with a slightly silent 't'......But thats just how I say it.....absolutely no reason behind it.

[LENNY LEADS THE WAY]

ST KILDA if u spell it like u say it then Sntkilda

[saintspremiers]

How do you pronounce it then?

"Sint Kilda" - just like how you would prounce it if you were referring to the seaside suburb of Melbourne!

[n1ck]

I pronounce it SntKilda. Definately no SAINT Kilda, that makes my blood boil.

[Iceman234]

So we're the Snts?

I thought the Saints part would have come from the first part of the suburb name.

Do people really pronounce it Snt Kilda?

Fascinating thread.

Carna Snts!!!

[Iceman234]

ST KILDA if u spell it like u say it then Sntkilda

Wouldn't it just be St (as in the start of start) Kilda?

SO it would almost sound like St(e)Kilda

A bit like a sneeze almost if it's fonetik

[LENNY LEADS THE WAY]

What s***s me the most is when they say it with the big pause betwen SAINT and KILDA.

let it flow St kilda not SAINT KILDA

[Huzzad]

What do you think St is short for, dumbass?

Like it or not, they mean the same thing. Just cause we put an Australian accent on it does not change the meaning. St is still short for and equal to Saint. So Ross Lyan and Dal are still using it correctly.

Doesn't bother me really, its the same thing. Snt sounds slightly better, but its all apples and oranges

[Iceman234]

[Iceman234]

Out west St. Albans is pronounced "Snorbons mate ey"

But personally I call it Saint Albans.

A few times actually.

We are also called the Saints.....but I wonder where that came from....Maybe we should be called the St Kilda Snts

I was not asking any questions, but thanks.

Perhaps tell that to the guy who decided to call the team the Saints....

Getting a bit worked up aren't we? My understanding is that 'Snt' Kilda is a bastardisation of Sakilder and hence there is no 'Saint' in the name. But why should that prevent us being called the Saints? Just like Melbourne are called the Demons. It's like saying the 'Sydn' in Sydney is actually pronounced 'Swan'.

With you, mate. It shouldn't matter. Prefer it said Saint Kilda actually, we're the Saints, not the Snts.

I'm not saying that we can't be called the Saints. Or anything else for that matter. But it is a massive (mis)conception that we are called the Saints because of the St infront of Kilda, however you choose to pronounce it. Either way, throughout history St and Saint have been intertwined with our club. And I'm not getting worked up, I think the guy who started the post is a little shirty though...

Yes we're the SAINTS not the snts not questioning that i'm talking about St kilda not the Saints

[Saint_in_SA]

Is it really that important, ladies?

Nothing much on hey, bit like over here in Sleepy Hollow.

[Bernard Shakey]

The name St Kilda first appeared on a Dutch map in 1666.

We won a premiership in 1966.

Next one due 2266?


GO SNTERS

[esaint66]

Yeah i too HATE the saint kilda

I say it Snt Kilda, the saints or the aints (only ever for a short period of time after a crap game or after they've blown the season)

Carna SNTERS !!!!!

[Saints43]

Cant believe I read the whole thread but there is a '.' after/under the 'ST' on the club crest. Every version of it I've ever seen.

http://saints.com.au/

It doesn't really matter what the history of an island off Scotland is our club is called the Saint (pronounce it however makes you happy) Kilda Saints.

[johnpeterbudgefanclub]

I pronounce it SntKilda. Definately no SAINT Kilda, that makes my blood boil.

That's how I pronounce it.
