Football Special

Had a look into this and since 2017 ticket pricing is set by the home club so it's all down to Saints, no agreement needed from away clubs https://thefsa.org.uk/news/the-price-of-change-new-fa-cup-rule-stings-home-and-away-fans/?fbclid=IwY2xjawH8uapleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTDGbWeraDOYTcnT820cr7kPoAVmSbM93RKsR-ZkyPlQkEdBhv0QKT_03Q_aem_YShEZQ1EbJ8ACV9sSKXQrA

I used to be envious of teams with big away followings in that era but looking back loved those away days with a few of us, Sunderland away midweek January 2003 we barely had 200 , saw a 1-0 win James Beattie

Good memory, I think in those days we'd get big away numbers up north if it was a) cup game , b) a ground we hasn't played at for years or c) end of season relegation 6 pointer Think Barnsley was b.

I've heard particularly Man Utd want cap abolished or at least increased significantly, you can see why when this is what they are charging Leicester fans in the 4th round of the FA Cup on a Friday night, scandalous

I remember the days before the away price cap when we'd take the smaller 1500 allocation for Chelsea, looking back paid £52 in 2013 blimey

Also the "best" stand as seen by ticket prices for normal games, Itchen is not comparable as centre blocks taken up by hospitality. Just vanity trying to make the crowd look bigger to the tv cameras by leaving empty seats out of sight

Agree , make a gesture that acknowledges the terrible value for money we've had as season ticket holders (again!) Blackburn seem to have it right

Build Back Better

I think we have more humiliation in us , but like you say it's nothing new to us and our fans take it fairly well. The 0-9s , the Grimsby home cup defeat, the Nathan Jones interviews , it's a Carry On Football all in recent history.

Plus rightly or wrongly plenty of regulars in the Kingsland would like to sit in that stand , if they had to close one stand do the Chapel. Halfway line centre seats offer the best view, in Itchen those are taken by hospitality so why not open Kingsland centre and allow fans the chance to buy there?

Looks like same pricing as the Swansea game and Kimgsland stand closed again, they really are morons running the club https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/southampton-vs-burnley-24-25

Could have been more if Man City hadn't taken off their forward line to save them for champions league

Can confirm have seen the Fat Controller at a few games usually giving it the big one to opposition fans

Devon is our catchment area as @Turkish will inform you, I'm sure there's more than that.

Downes looked like he was struggling in the first half , completely off the pace, was a terrible half , Forest 3 shots 3 goals, i walked out before the half time whistle, sounds like they improved 2nd half but damage was done by then.

I saw him last week in the cup, was brilliant

Being a later round and a Saturday 3pm should help attendance regardless, but having 3 Saturday home games in a row I think they'll have to promote this one quite a bit. If both teams need to agree on pricing just be sensible, £10 adults, £5 kids and try to fill the ground. Burnley are away to Portsmouth the week before , can't see many wanting to do the journey again, they'll struggle to bring more than 1,000.

Farewell Maxwell, thanks for your contribution

Thats a great shout, Notts Forest fans love to remind Derby about that record points season, big incentive for them, we're heading up early, Plan is to get into Hooters for some bantz, charm a few ladies in hot pants, then hit the fan zone for a sing song 🎶 refreshing tasteless pint in a plastic cup for £7

I know , it winds them up so much make sure you keep calling them Notts at every opportunity

Seems odd. First team squad travelled to Manchester and was always the plan to remain in the north for a few days, must be some knocks from last night for these two to get a last min call to travel up and join them

No he wouldn't Matty Fernandes is miles better than him

The Forest fan I know has been unbearable recently, would love to bring them back down to earth Get that Mickey Evans back in the side , he'll take his chances

Can you change the thread title to Notts Forest to use their proper name

A United fan I know through work who was at the game messaged to say he thought we should have won, "could have been out of sight if your players could finish" also said impressed with our support so hats off to those who made the effort to travel up there.
