This isn't a usual away game though. There are 10-15k season ticket holders who are used to seating who will be at Wembley. I've deliberately tried to pick a spot where people will be seated. My Dad is 79 and can't stand for 90 mins so needs to be in an area where people sit.

Yep... The company I work for used to have 6 club wembley seats and we often didn't utilise them for semi-finals

As things stand 33,250 saints, 21,000 City , plus club Wembley corporate (which is roughly 60% of middle tier about 7000, companies that own those seats dont always use them) So as things stand 61,000 attendance

Piss poor, once again. I thought Albert done well and of course Lehmann carried the innings, again and the tail dug in (which is a sign of how good the pitch is). However, Gubbins isn't a 2, I'm not conviced Prest will ever make it in red ball, Brown isn't a 5, Yusuf is giving Brett Hampton a run for his money in the WTF overseas category. Destined the drop this season and deserve every part of it. Hopefully it see's off Giles White and Ben Brown.

Nice one - I notice you only quote the part of my comment that suits your agenda. Are you a journalist? 🙂

Away games yes we all stand. Play off final most of the upper was sat especially on sides

Good batting from Abbott, Jack and of course Lehmann, really looks to bé a good acquisition.

Chicken or egg. Are you trying to suggest a back 4 without Bree, Perez, Stewart or Larin would achieve the same results? Course it wouldn’t have done, the question is whether a back 4 with Baz in nets, a different right back & without 6ft Larin or Stewart, would have done better than we did prior to the switch. Tonda has explained his rationale, he felt he couldn’t play a 4 until he got the right players in, once he did, he successfully switched formations. There is a legitimate debate as to whether he should have done so earlier, but that debate isn’t black and white regardless of results since, as he had different options in important positions.

I think this is the only logical assumption to make at this stage. As someone who voted Labour in (only the second time I’ve ever voted for them in my life) I can’t hide how disappointed I am by their performance in general, but particularly from this whole episode. It’s utter naivety and stupidity from start to finish and just a completely avoidable situation. I can’t see Starmer lasting out a whole term, and quite frankly nor should he. Nor should the cretins who advise him.

Been messaging a City fan mate of mine and apparently this is their 32nd visit to Wembley since Pep became manager! No wonder there's not a large appetite for this game from their perspective.

So the story is “mostly accuate.” Why then mention Feminist News? Playing to the forum’s misogynists? Is this better for you? https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2026/04/16/trump-pulls-funding-for-catholic-charity-that-helps-migrant-children-amid-clash-with-pope/

Driving to Woking station might be a good option, as there will presumably be some trains starting from there .

Personally for a team with Saints midfield and attacking options I thought it was mad to play an extra defender when another attacker would give the opposition more to think about.

We're all waiting for when the dream comes off the rails. This is Saints after all. And, yet I feel the expectation that we're going to come back with 3 points. The squad is working well, there are goals everywhere and we're hard to score against. The biggest worry is Swansea sucker us into a game of 2-sided Russball. 4-1 to Saints.

Peter Stilton in goal?

I would sign Larin for that amount. Stewart can’t be relied upon, sadly. We need someone better than them in the PL, and if that player loses form, gets injured or suspended for a little while, Stewart can’t play 90 minutes in multiple matches.

Reed was the brains of the operation from when Liebherr took over be it as a consultant initially and then being fully employed. So he had some duds, but its him that brought in numerous players for back to back promotions. Top six finishes and european football. He's done the same at wrexham from non league to the Champ. The Fonte stand off was poor for someone that had done so much for the club.

Yeah it's just whether it's the 3k to match last season's allocation or whether they give us some of City's too. City started a new window this morning I believe so probably waiting to see if that makes any dent. Regardless they're not going to need the rest of the upper tier it seems. Wonder how many more we'd sell. Cant have been thousands waiting for general sale you'd have thought.

I’m sure they’ll be more released, I’d have thought the FA wouldn’t want a half empty ground

Definitely shocked at how quickly they sold. Be interesting to see how many more go if/when we get them.

The JPT and the Playoff Final we drove to Basingstoke and caught the train from there and it wasn't that busy, you couldn't get on at Eastleigh or Winchester. I suspect this time people with travel to Central to get the train from there but you might get diverted out of Platform 4 and have to queue up outside Platform 1!!

The central --> basingrad --> reading --> paddington route might be viable but i guess that'll be packed by saints travelling from north hampshire?

Bloody fickle football fans

It was as black and white as that - results have proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt. I think the point you're making is that perhaps we didn't have the players to suit a back four until Bree's return in January which is a different matter.

I really rate Russ but I'm seeing Larin improve with every game he plays. If I was Tonda I'd be tempted to start Larin in the next two knowing he's got Ross to bring on if needed. Larin just looks like he's thriving and another two starts with hopefully a goal or two could well unleash the beast ready for the big game at Wembley and the last two Championship games. Larin gives the impression he is absolutely chomping at the bit so let him loose.
