Wimbledon's long ball football meant they scored lots of goals it baffles me that people don't find it enjoyable to watch long ball football?

My biggest complaint with Martin wasn't that his football was shit, or that he lost more games than any manager in our histroy in the top flight, or that we conceded more goals than any other season in our history in the top flight, or that we finished on the lowest points total ever in history, or that he was arrogant and refused to change his style despite the fact it was catastrophically awful to do in the top flight. No, none of them. My biggest compliant is his style of football sapped all and every enjoyment out of the game, even when we won it was akin to watching paint dry, turgid, slow awful stuff, it made jim magilton look like maradonna

Properly shit draw, the league cup is one of the few opportunities we have to get new away grounds and nothing is more boring than drawing a club we've played a million times before - and are in the same division - at home

a 40min prog rock opus that sings about the reclaiming of the water around pilgrims gate to allow for the city of southampton to be extended and bigger dry docks added, it also references the sacking of Southampton in 1338 by the french and reaches it's crescendo at the 17minute mark when the support back it with polyrhythmic clapping and dissonant chord progressions, it is a masterpiece that will win an Ivor Novello award for composition, the first football song to ever achieve this. Or it's another song that's been used a million times before with ever so slightly different words. YOU DECIDE!

I really hope someone asks a really important question about things that matter, like stadium expansion, the women's team, or the price of a pint. Even better if they preface it with exactly where they're from and how long they've been a season ticket holder. Those things really do give the forum full value for all of us

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
