BARCELONASAINT

cheers mate, i was waiting for an email or something, just found mine in the Saints app, QR code to be activated tomorrow

Has anyone received their E-Ticket yet?

If we don't go up we will be rebuilding the team because we will lose probably 6 players. We then would have to rely on very astute new signings being at the level of what we currently have.

The timing off this is terrible not only for Flynn and the club but also the supporters going to Wembley on Saturday. We already knew we were without Manning and his replacement has barely kicked a ball recently but we now know Flynn is out and Captain Jack is at best 50/50 that he's fit enough to start!

so no Manning, no Downes and Captain Jack 50/50 at best. The thought of Nathan Wood against City terrifies me!

It is really hard to be too negative about last nights result given the incredible run and performances the team have put in to get us into the playoff party. I've seen the comments both praising the noise the fans made and those saying the fans were very quiet. Me and my mate were sat in the kingsland and all i can say is what i witnessed. I thought the home support in general for such an important game was dreadful, the atmosphere was as flat as a pancake. I could hear the Northam trying their best to get everyone singing but not with much success. I'm not going to slag off any individual player as so many had a complete off night. We move on to Saturday and go again. C'mon Saints.

Unfortunately i left it to late to order a knock of top so resorted to ordering a yellow Polo top from Amazon. Will probably fit in nicely with everyone wearing their knock of tops as a pound to a penny it will turn out to be canary yellow when it arrives tomorrow lol

I'm really looking forward to Saturday and a chance to see my team at Wembley even if it's odds on we lose. When we booked our holiday i didn't think there was a cat in hells chance we might end up with a Wembley appearance let alone the slight chance of 3! I will be on holiday when the FA Cup final is played if we make it and if we do get to the playoff final I will have only got back into the country 3 days earlier so will probably miss the chance to get a ticket for Wembley, so i'm going to do my utmost to totally enjoy Saturday whatever the result.

I'm not a season ticket holder, finances dictate that is one luxury i would rather not spend my money on. I go when i can. I have no issue with season ticket holders being given first dibs at tickets (not because they are better fans but because they made the financial commitment to the club in most case well before they knew what sort of season they were in for. Take last season as an example! The issues of ticket availability is totally an FA issue and not giving the fans of the 2 clubs involved in the semi final enough tickets. Its a disgrace they hold so many back for people absolutely nothing to do with either club. Big empty areas of Wembley stadium is not a good look!!

Thankfully i have my ticket but i want every Saints fan that wants to go to be able to go and i dont see why that is not doable. Wembley has a 90,000 capacity, we have sold 33,000 our full allocation so far. City even if the do sell all theirs would only take that up to 66,000 bums on seats. you are not telling me that 24,000 "others" are going to attend a semi Final game! For the love of god the FA are really stupid, we could easily sell another 10,000 tickets, let the genuine fans of the 2 clubs involved be given the opportunity to attend.

I will probably get slaughtered here but.....I spent many years like others on here going to the Dell and look back fondly on those days but by todays standards it really was a shitty little ground where far too many times i got stuck behind some great big metal stantion and left games with neck ache from trying to strain to see. If i was in the crowd behind one of goals which as a kid i often was i would try to get as close to the front as i could to get a good view BUT when we scored i thought i was going to die as the standing crowd surged forward crushing everyone in front of them. God now it's all coming back, i now remember as a kid how i worried about being trampled to death by the huge Police horses outside the Winston. Don't get me wrong i loved the Dell because away teams hated coming to us because the fans were so close to the pitch, however i love St Marys that i can sit absolutely anywhere in the ground and have a perfect view of the game. I'm just probably getting old and prefer my creature comforts nowadays lol

shit i should have read the small print. I'm only going as well because Turkish said we would never lose again.

Ticket purchased and coach booked!!!

Scienza

I must admit that I was absolutely baffled when we took him in loan. His parent club Mallorca could not get him out of the door quick enough and i had never seen him do anything of note when he did play for them...and i watch a lot of Spanish football. However i absolutely love the bloke because he gives everything and has done since day one. Total credit to the Saints staff who have been working with him to get his fitness levels up and Tonda that asks him to play a certain way. He really is fast becoming a bit of a cult hero.
