Fortunately we have the FAB on the case, and they will be asking the hard questions here. Like "how does this affect the women's team?" And "can we give priority to people who take stuffed toys on the bingo buses?". We are so lucky to have a group that reflect the core identity of those that go home and away. Piss taking aside though - and whilst this doesn't really affect me in the slightest - this does now basically lock away tickets to season ticket holders only, and also penalises anyone who can't afford a smart phone (or can't use one because of disability). I wonder if this is even legal under uk law? Surely there has to be an alternative (i know they do provide physical tickets in place of season tickets for example)

With Sport Republic's track record cutting loose the entire squad and replacing them would see us go down with zero points and the worst goal difference ever

If we go up we'll be absolutely fine, the gap between the championship and premier league isn't huge and all of our players are good because we signed them. Obviously you're all falling into the trap of using your eyes to watch football instead of trusting the data

Cool so the owner of the group doesn't tell people what they want to hear and always tells the truth. Gotcha.

So let me get this right, when Rasmus says the opposite to a turkish audience it's just being said because it's a turkish audience and isn't true, but when Solak says it to an audience in southampton it's not because it's to an audience in southampton it's because it's true. Cool stuff, nice to know we don't need to question what's being said anymore and that they don't do marketing with us.

I think the police should be commended, all of that extra policing, all of the extra barriers to fans, the anti social start time, the rules around food and drink was a huge success as it reduced the amount of arrests by a MASSIVE 3(three) people compared to 2019. In 2019 it was chaos, a violence that justified the bubble with a huge number of 8 arrests in total. But with the bubble in place the police were incredibly successful in bring that huge number down to 5 arrests. Thank god they did it.

If you could get organised and buy a block behind each goal that was intentionally left empty that would definitely have a huge impact, though there's probably no way of policing it in the ground and people would just move into the gap sadly. The other option is to go, but then all walk out as soon as the whistle for kick off is blown, and just stay in the area out the back of the stand instead. In Europe they'd probably do one of those massive banners to cover the seats, which would be impressive, but we're not that kind of club and to be honest i always find them a bit try hard. One other thing that does need to happen is for fans to engage with the press and express their disgust at the bubble. Minor issue there is that you'd have more strength doing it with representation from both clubs, and i for one don't want to be seen with those cunts 🤣

Thanks for that, a friend of mine also emailed them and got an almost identical reply from them, including the patronising bollocks about them being all round the ground. The most annoying part to all this is that if the fans groups do work together the bubble can be cancelled, as has been proven in virtually every other derby around the country, but we end up with a bunch of wet blankets who've been picked because they watch the women's team that most of us don't give a shit about. I personally have absolutely no doubt that if it happens again next season it'll be a bubble again, and given how shit our FAB are i think the only way we could get it stopped would be to boycott the game. The impact of empty away ends at both games would be huge, especially given the press coverage on them, but sadly i can't see enough people willing to make that effort from either side

It was the home end, the corner of the north stand next to the saints fans, before that they'd thrown one over the partition as you come in into the area the saints fans were in. No idea why they're claiming it came from Saints as it didn't. In fact the din that threw was waving the packet it came in about in the home end after it went off so it'll be pretty easy to identify him

The keeper he reminds me of the most is John Burridge, not the best keeper but not terrible and you knew he'd stop the ball with his face if needed

The Scum Army were established in 1885? So that makes them 141 years old? That's gotta be the oldest youth mob around, no wonder they don't run

It's a fucking cult isn't it? Reminds me of the bollocks Liverpool fans do. None of it is based in any sort of fact and it's like watching swivel headed loons patting each on other on the back for how special they are when they outside world can see all they've done is eaten an entire box of crayons and shat themselves. Nah fuck the cunts, hope someone builds a wall around hayling island and they flood it with the residents in it.

They're still breathing?

Before last night i'd made peace with the fact that this would be one of the worst away days ever. The combination of the draconian and idiotic "bubble", the early start and piss take from the club about how we had to get to st mary's so early, the shit looking weather forecast and their hovel's inability to protect you from the elements, and the weak as fuck, no backbone, arrogant, lazy cunts in our team meaning i was expecting a loss, and our piss poor form stinking out the league. But then we somehow find a way to win last night and now i have a glimmer of hope, and that's going to make it so much worse when we lose to these mouth breathing, sister fucking, scabbing, lying, six fingered cunts

Yup and if what i've been told is true Saints actually actively sell his brothers platform to other clubs, which feels - i don't know - a bit unethical to me, almost like SR is a ponzi scheme
