I listened to the latest TSP yesterday and while discussing this game it was mentioned that Tonda has expressed his acknowledgment of the importance and significance of the FA cup given it’s the 50th anniversary. But, as mentioned, that didn’t appear to be a factor when announcing an inferior side against a strong Leicester one in the last round. And I really can’t see the club prioritising this as we’re now in the thick of battling to reach the playoffs, that and promotion is where the riches lay so I’ll be pleasantly surprised if they risk a number of players for this. We play West Brom and Cov within 6 days after and, in reality, the quarter finals will potentially just be another distraction and headache for rearranging two crucial league fixtures in their eyes.

I had a scoot over their forum and they're saying that was probably the best atmosphere from the home fans in their North stand for some time, it was a bit of a galvanising and defiant show of support for their club in bad times. They also mentioned how they drowned out a big away support. Twice as many at Fulham next weekend, hopefully better from our lot but midday KO ain't gonna help. Added to the fact the club will certainly be prioritising the Play-Off push now and with another two away games in the few days after I think they will be putting out a scratch eleven for this. Could be an uncomfortable watch.

They go to general sale to home fans tomorrow so they’ll want to see if demand picks up. Doubt we’ll hear much before midweek.

Heard they were selling fast when they first went on sale, it’s still ST holders, goes to members this afternoon if any remaining so looks unlikely to get to general sale unless they give us more.

I would think their crowd will be right up for this, first game back home since relegation confirmed, a strong show of support. Early goal would help dampen spirits but you’d like to think we’d have too much for them over 90+ mins. You can feel for them in this situation but if we’re serious about troubling the play-offs then it’s surely a ‘must win’

One good thing is we’ll get around 6,000 tickets for that which will be handy particularly if something still on it. Another thing that may help tomorrow night is the crowd actually being up for it. It’s been a shit atmosphere all season at St Mary’s, the place should have been rocking as we piled on for the win towards the end of Saturday’s game but it was crap.

Yep, clearly states 'full allocation' so suggests that's it. If we sell that quickly it's hard to believe Fulham wouldn't offer us more as seems a bit daft to potentially leave another 1,700 seats unsold unless they're willing to just hold them back to see if there's demand from the home support. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/fulham-vs-southampton-fa-cup-2526?dm_i=7KYR,2JGEZ,16SG1Q,5J227,1,0,0,0

£30 for home fans behind the goal so should be same for us. Putney End (Saints end) not on sale to home fans so looks like we've got all that stand if needed. Shame about the Sunday 12:00 KO.

An early goal and they'll wobble and we could go on and have a good time. Only downside to that is the "Cheer up Nathan Jones..." that will be on constant repeat.

Around 3,300 sold for Sheff Wed so far and likely to sell out the full 3,750 so a lot of fans on the road in a few days. Another carve up on the trains for the Fulham trip though.

Boro got 4,200 in the third round but didn't fill that end. Hopefully SFC will push for the entire Putney End (5,900) but there'll probably be more demand for tickets from home fans for this one so can see them segregating it for Fulham fans/daytrippers. It was £25 tickets for Fulham v Boro.

you're probably right but Salisbury Saint who's normally pretty accurate with these things had said that over 3,100 had been sold by late afternoon yesterday which was the first day for members to buy so could very well have had a surge in sales into the evening. But more likely still a block or two to release.

Yep, they've now taken the full allocation and looking on the OS, only around 150 left - if correct 3,600 already sold

I was at Filbert Street 30-odd years ago, we left with 10 mins to go after Leicester had just scored a third to make it 3-1. We heard a couple of roars as we were walking back to the car thinking that’s the 4th, that’s the 5th. Switched on the radio to hear we’d pulled 2 back. Still wrong side of the same scoreline that day.

What a shit start
