I miss the good old days of the mid to late 90s where it was often pay on the day at the turnstiles and we'd have 500 spread out in the away end

Will be interesting to see, quite a few were blocked out for Birmingham as well. Looking at Skates ticket news for Lincoln, not only is allocation small, its also split between two stands?!

Yeah but for some teams "e tickets" is just an email with a PDF ticket (i think Skates do that) which is nice and easy to share with a mate on WhatsApp, I would say our access via an official Saints app makes it much harder to share tickets

Out of the 1200 for Lincoln I wonder how many will be blocked out for corporate requests / player comps / regional supporter clubs? How do they distribute tickets with the app requirements?

Saints Disabled supporters association are usually happy to accept donations of old programmes https://saintsdsa.org.uk/

League Cup 3rd round REPLAY wasn't it? Good random mid-90s fixture

Also possible that Lincoln might be paper tickets if they still operate that way, if so will sell out to very high away numbers , Wrexham coming up as well was paper tickets last season for another small allocation

Just seen this on x, any truth in it?

I agree with you for the main reason but would be good if you could have 2 or 3 times a season where you can transfer a ticket short notice if due to circumstances you can't make it, but by transferring you lose the away credit , would help stop seats being left empty and still put off those who just buy to sell on

No chance Colchester will sell out the home end, surprised they didnt give us more to boost the attendance a bit. West Ham at home the same day impacts their attendance, Skates still banging on about taking 9000 up to the Hammers , Waterloo will be full of them

Colchester showed as "sold out" on Friday , not sure for Watford but as that one is digital tickets that are not transferable will be interesting to see how low it goes , obviously will sell out easily but will impact people who used to buy for mates etc

Do they do kids sizes?

Also the day his Dad died i think, can't find the interview he did but was emotional attachment

I was too young to ever see him play but loved hearing the stories of his secret signing at the Potters Heron pub , Big Lawrie always enjoys retelling that one. Hard to explain to today's kids, would be like Saints signing Messi or Bellingham now?

His Dad is a Man Utd legend to be fair
