Interesting viewpoint, having a look now and ticket sales look very slow for the Pompey game , been on sale a week and other than Northam wall doesn't look like that many sold, particularly either side of away end, think midday Sunday people just can't be arsed with it at such an expense.

Quarshie has a loan offer from Paderborn

You've now lost all credibility with your judgement with that choice of wine! 🙂

Pretty sure clubs don't have to agree and home clubs simply set the price. Clubs used to have to agree pricing in the FA Cup but they binned that rule off a few years back.

There will always be a variation with the kits. We have had plenty of blue 2nd/3rd kits, so no surprise it has been revisited this year. I think it is alright to be fair. Isn't ticket pricing a thing to be agreed with both clubs and the compeition sponsor?

The efforts to make SMS more attractive for food and drink should be applauded. More beer choices, better food options, fanzones ,the Dell etc etc enhance the match day experience and bring in revenue for the club. However the commercial department do make some strange decisions. On Saturday I wss struck by the large number of fans wearing yellow shirts - either last year's second strip or just plain yellow shirts. The turnout of yellow at Wembley demonstrated it's popularity. So why have we moved away from second strip yellow to the simply awful blue outfit?? A plain yellow shirt with a blue sash would be, as a previous poster has pointed out, a great seller. Similarly the pricing of tickets for tonight's game against West Ham misses many opportunities. "Kids for a quid" would have lost ticket revenue (which presumably is shared with West Ham) but would have seen an increase in food and drink sales . It would also encourage a future generation of Saints supporters. Our commercial department gets a lot right .... but sometimes it fails abysmally.

? Guessing there is no news deep down. 😂

I think we’ll have someone lined up. I’d be more concerned that they need to integrate and hit the ground running straight away.

Absolutely buzzing to see all this cash come rolling in this week 🤑💰🤑💰💲💲💶🤑💰💰💰

Exactly that, been a number of players who have stayed or made odd moves because of family. Luckily it’s not like the NFL where you have to go!

My main concern is if this drags on and THB ends up leaving in the last couple of days of the window then we won't have enough time to get a replacement in.. 😔

Won't be doing the Pompey game this year after working out it'll be £140 for my dad and I, just for memberships and tickets, before even thinking to start about travel, food and drink. We only get to a handful of games each season as we've both moved away from the area, so we'd be getting the memberships just for this game. Can't justify it. After being to a few derbies in the early 2000's, the atmosphere from those games compared to last season was night and day. Didn't feel any different to playing any other team in the league due to the "bubble". I think the Boro game might be spicier.

The BBC website made a good fist of trying to explain Villa's situation though I still didn't fully understand it. More concerning is our own. Are we selling THB because we need to or because he wants to go? If we need to, surely our net income by selling Shea Charles alone matches our expenditure this window and with the Fernandes add on and other bits and pieces we must be ok in which case THB should be valued at twice the number being touted. If he wants to go, it's another matter but how desparate is he to make big bucks?

She has to have a membership, been to match in the 5 seasons before this one, and then buy a different match this season.

Interested to see what Tonda does. He could make it a showcase window and put out Ramsdale, Archer, BBD, Edozie and whoever else we might want to flog in the next week. I wouldn't want to see Downes put can understand he might be desparate to play. There are certain players that should be rested (Larin, Scienza) and there are others that could be given a full game (Mubama, Dobbin).

The player has to want the move too. Not straightforward if you have a family.

Interesting...

It's incredible that since we signed him in January Larin has gone from the worst striker in existence to the best striker in the league!

Looks like Villa are indeed signing another CB. Although it's only a loan with an obligation. Probably so they can spend more on other players....

I'd have paid £15. But when an FA Cup QF was £25 there was no chance I was paying similar for a 2nd round league cup tie. A comparable fixture is Leicester in the FA Cup 4th round which was a tenner with no booking fee. Don't see how they can justify this being almost 150% more than that.

But for many it's £27 including the ticket tax. As a member we had an 'exclusive window' of one day early on to buy at £22.50 (+ £2) but these early round cup games often attract casual fans taking kids who cop the full-fat price. If I'd decided to take a couple of grandkids to this one it would have cost me £56 and them another £70 for the other two home games a few days either side of this fixture. You can see why there's an unofficial boycott for this.

Funny you mention that—I was just thinking Southampton hadn't loaned us any players yet this summer, haha. After Dierrick Abu and Rento Takaoka, I certainly wouldn't say no to another loan from you guys I know VA is looking for a striker before the window closes; since Charles Abi and Gaetan Courtet aren't exactly firing on all cylinders right now, I think BBD could help us put the ball in the net, haha.

I’m going crazy ! I’m a member with past purchase history . Heading back home from Australia to see saints , family and friends. I’m trying to purchase a ticket for the Pompey game which for me is fine .However my partner is coming to England for the first time and I’m keen to get her to see the game with with me. trying to ad her / get a ticket is beyond me after over 2 hrs hr trying ! Can anyone advise me - is it possible to buy a friend a ticket to join you at a game !

If this guy is valued at more than £30M, no way the value of THB is less than him given he is home grown. Please raise up the price now!

Yep, like him a lot; and Dobbin. They're both going to be major contributors this season. The fact that Man City didn't include an option to buy tells you something about their regard for Mubama.
