In my opinion by far our most disappointing statistic this season is the fact we have only won 5 out of 13 home games in the league.

I think its purely down to home performances.As i said on another thread no home league win for a few days short of 6 months along with the 3 to of 10 home league wins for MP. No coincidence that after our 3 big home wins last year we then sold out the remaining games.

On the basis that we have only won 3 out of the 10 Premier League games at home under MP, the last one being nearly 6 months ago, I am delighted to see such optimism on here. Not suggesting that it is a must win game but it is really time for that home record to improve.

Interesting to note that McDermott took 10 points from his last 8 league games exactly the same as NA, but like NA that wasnt deemed good enough and they both got sacked. Its MP's 8th league game on Saturday the maximum points return he can now achieve from these 8 games is 9.If we lose obviously that will mean only achieving a 6 point return.

He's a genius and we are lucky to have him. http://www.whoscored.com/Blog/hEl6nTPzxkuz0nQ8oIbFPw/Show/

If Liverpool overcome their 2-0 deficit against Zenit on Thursday then our game against Liverpool will be played on Sunday 17th March, probably a 3.00pm KO.

My first trip to St James Park- What pub will the majority of Saints fans be heading to pre-match?

I bought mine on Monday,BLock LK7- if that means anything. GS Im sure the ticket office will tell you how many are sold if you phone them , but I cant imagine they wont make general sale tomorrow.

I used to take a box or a table 3/4 times a season but I wouldn't do it now as it is completely overpriced and basically crap .Go to Oxfords or similar and have better food / service and wine or beer.Grand Cafe do a booze included package 3 course lunch for around £50. Remember SFC prices don't normally include VAT but you can't legally reclaim VAT on entertaining so it might be even more expensive than you think.

Yep.Forgot to ask how sales were going though.

Bought my two this morning,although I have one Adult ST and two Junior ST's and they wouldnt let me buy 2 adult tickets, had to use a friends customer number who isnt going.

For those going by train confirmation of The Bus Replacement Service. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130207/train-news-for-saints-and-stoke-games_2281670_3067807

Im sure you're correct, fingers crossed!

I dont think NA knew for certain but im sure he was aware a change was likely, just like the majority on here suprised at the timing. Also i have some concern with MP's record, one job which he got sacked from, with the team now playing remakably better since he left, in fact they moved from bottom to 15th, with 13 points from 8 games after he left compared to his 9 points from 13 games he was in charge for this season. Hopefully we havent replaced NA with The Argentinian version of Mark Hughes.

Tickets on sale next week: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/newcastle-tickets-on-sale-next-week-623935.aspx Firstly to 5 away ST's then 3 Away ST then Just ST's, then general release. Ive got a ST been to three away games (Man City ,Arsenal and Villa) but only two qualify as I was on a corparate do at Villa, as I've already booked my flights I would be keen to know what chance anyone thinks I have of getting a ticket.

Has anyone had an email confirmation/receipt,?I asked for one and was promised that one would be emailed out, but nothing received 24 hours later. I really dont fancy turning up 10 mins before kick off, finding out the card wont work and absolutely no proof of purchase.

In 20 months time!

I've been told there are problems with the existing structure, this will be down to SFC to resolve-not sure why this would lead to the contractor being booted off site though. Also told relationship between all involved is rather fractious. Not surprising though since NC fell out with the original planning team that got the initial planning consent and despite personally approving all of the scheme he refused to pay them anything of the pre-agreed fee which I understand was around £50k. As mentioned this was for the initial scheme not the project currently underway( or not).

Cup Final season 2002/2003 ,opening game v Middlesborough crowd of 28,341.

NA said acouple of weeks ago that we would have players in before The Man City game, that is looking increasingly unlikely.

I bought mine on the first day of so of sale from SMS and we are in block 215.

Thanks but both of the kids were pre-registered last month and I have the confirmation e-mail to prove it! Also when I log in I can see them linked as family , with the correct DOBs, but when I click on proceed all three seats come up but at the adult price.I'll just have to call.I did e-mail them via the "Contact Us" link but i guess they are swamped.

Did you get an explanation for this , i.e. are they going to fix it as, my 8 and 11 year old are being charged at full whack £625.Dont see the point on spending 30 mins on the phone if they are going to fix it.Also why dont they allow carparking to be renewed on-line? you have to do that over the phone, but that person cant help me with the season ticket problem.

To get in the top 2 I think Brighton would need to win 10 out of their last 10 matches, maybe 9 and a draw. Middlesborough probably need to win 8 out 11 plus draw the other 3.For me it is between the top three now , as even if one team goes into meltdown, I cant see that happening to two out of the three involved.
