Having spoken to the FSA last year the only way it gets overturned is if both fans groups at the meetings oppose it, as it stands it feels like the club is selecting the FAB specifically to have people in it that won't oppose it. In which case the only other action is to take it into our own hands, i'd be in favour of buying tickets and not going, but unless it's the whole away end doing it it won't work The other thing that needs to be done is to get people to change the narrative in the press, as things stand the press love the bubble because they can use it as an example of how fierce the rivalry is (and god knows a lot of our noddies do the same), what we need is voices in the press pointing out the hypocrisy of the fact we are one of only two games in the country to have it, and that the arrests were lower for the train in 2019 than the bubble last season. The problem with that is that as fans we're not massively media savvy, and it seems that the one person who is has become a club shill on this issue (and i like Nick I as a person, i'm just massively disappointed with him on this)

Absolute joke, pretty much made my mind up i'm binning it off as it's completely fucking draconian and unnecessary, just a way for Hants old bill to top up their over time Should do what Bristol City did with Cardiff when their game was a bubble, 200 of them turned up to a pub in Cardiff and watched the game in the pub to make a point

Yeah for all the complaints about people buy tickets to sell the blocks booked out for corporate/club were far more of an issue to people getting tickets. I'd hazard a guess that the people buying tickets to sell is probably less than a hundred (in fact i wouldn't be surprised if it's less than a score), but those blocks can add up to easily a couple of hundred from an allocation.

Last played there in 96, which weirdly i have absolutely no memory of despite the fact i'd been doing aways for a few years by then.

It was the fans fault for not believing enough, if we'd all just BELIEVED, and TRUSTED THE PROCESS we would've been celebrating with him by drinking the definitely not poisoned in anyway kool aid

little note it's not the clubs old logo it's the crest of the city of southampton

I'd imagine the reason was @Noodles34 doesn't use the bingo bus for away games, his purchase of club tat is far to low, he doesn't wear replica kits, doesn't represent a very specific niche group, might disagree with the club, and is actually representative of a lot of lads who go to games. And as we know the last thing the club wants are people who represent annoying "legacy fans" when there's so many other far more palatable groups they want to represent instead.

You're far too representative of the actual fanbase mush, and they can't be having that.

He wasn't my ITK source, that person has now left the club

The bits without seats at all look so much better, god i miss proper terraces

ha! that's my mate doing the voiceover 🤣 @Noodles34 recognise who it is mush? 👀

@Noodles34 may i suggest for your manifesto, - at least one free glass of brandy at home games - a ban on people over the age of 16 wearing replica shirts - vloggers to be publicly flogged on the pitch at half time to set an example - the original ted bates statue to be reinstated - The club to reintroduce paper vouchers given away at random milk cup games to give priority for big game ticket purchases - dedicated section for supporters from basingstoke and salisbury with a capped allocation - @Turkish to be given life time capo status and set the dress code for the ground - Plested Pies to be given the catering contract - Ben Thatcher day to be celebrated on an annual basis - On The March to replace the club programme

Surely a racing tractor, golf club and fishing rod would be the most fitting tribute as a statue?

I can't wait for @Noodles34 application. So is there anything we should know? Nope. Nothing in your past that might come out? Nope. You definitely didn't have a hand in any fanzines or there covers right? Well...

Do it mush, would be decent to have some proper representation on the FAB
