Have we really got this far without anyone suggesting Eni Aluko?

Four goals and five assists is a bit better than anything our midfielders have served up since January, tbf 11 goals and 10 assists in the league across Argyle and Boro. Decent signing for what they paid. Wouldn't mind someone chipping in with those sort of numbers

How many times have you heard him speak? I genuinely couldn't tell you what he even sounds like

Argh, annoying. Working here but guessing it's because I've already accessed it. Worth going to the 'plans and documents' tab once anyone has searched up the application.

They were in the playoffs in January and their owner rolled the dice. Think they brought six players in. Then went and won only three of the last 13 games to miss the playoffs and let Norwich catch up/get in ahead of them.

If PUMA could make Che Adams make the most of his chances then we should've signed them up years ago.

Looked like about 40 seats left a moment ago when I checked out.

LR: "Mauricio believes with the quality we have we can play exciting, attacking football, taking the game to our opponents by playing a high-intensity game. He will continue to develop and introduce young players whilst building on the core of experience that we have in the squad. During the recruitment process Mauricio quickly became our first choice and, while he had other options, we are delighted he feels that St Mary’s is the right place for him and we believe he is the right fit for us." Hmm.

In case anyone missed the email this morning about the early bird window on the safe standing... - Time is running out for you to beat the crowds by securing your spot in the new home-fan-only Northam Stand, from 2.30pm today other supporters will have access to this stand. Make the most of the early bird price in our new stand and access all home league games, priority away tickets, offers on additional home tickets, discounts across the club and much more. This price is guaranteed, regardless of the division. Wednesday 1st May 2.30pm: General sale opens for any remaining availability in Northam safe standing End of the 2023/24 season: Northam Early Bird prices end and full pricing announced. An average of 10-15% price increase will apply to remaining areas.

Yeah, some raised this Q with the club last week online and they put out some clarifications. When they refer to 'priority' it's just the standard season ticket priority on access to aways. Possibly a bit off misrepresenting it as a benefit of having any of the bolt-on packages, but certainly not a change of approach to how away tickets are sold - thankfully.

Given his contract expires in the summer of 2025, you'd hope/think that if we do fail to go up, renegotiating his contract is going to be a priority this off-season.

It was not a serious response, thought that much was obvious. Yep, do agree.

After having to watch us play that fucking Watford team four times this season, no replays doesn't sound so bad...

Yeah, sold out. Took the full allocation of 3,193

I'll put you down as a maybe?

This is how I feel right now too. Would just really like that Leicester game to actually mean something and be a huge moment in the season, rather than an irrelevance. Fingers crossed...

Maybe we will after all

It is. All part of Sport Republic's masterplan to make St. Mary's a more intimidating away day.
