[EDIT] My ticket's gone. I'll repost if that changes at any point.
-
Try Block 44.
-
It is, middle of Block 42 (Northam).
-
Sounds like a lot of operators to me, just got through and bought 4 together at the back of Block 44. That does mean my season ticket is available now if anybody's interested.
-
Exactly this, noticed the pattern around Christmas when we had an extended period of unconvential fixtures. Saturday 3pm and Tuesday 7.45pm games almost always seem to go our way. Whether that has a root cause in our preparations or is purely a coincidence I have no idea. But yes, there's still more than enough chance to put this to bed.

Which pub would you recommend in Southampton to watch the match?
ant replied to rog's topic in The Saints
Always The Alex for me too. Ooh, I've probably 'met' some of you without realising, how very exciting. NickG, try Wahoo on the high street. Normally have a pretty big projector on in there or there's a ton of screens if not. -
Sky have covered a lot of our games recently, before we start talking about big screens it depends whether they plump for us in the currently vacant last-day Championship slot.
-
The Alex, hands down. Actually it gets busy enough as it is, stick to Varsity
-
Gah, I was in Egypt when they went on general sale and the online system went into meltdown effectively scuppering my chances. If anybody has two or three tickets together in the Kingsland or Northam I'd be anxious to buy them. I'm a season ticket holder so my normal seat (Northam) would be available if that sweetens the deal.
-
Ta, gives me some hope. We'll be in pure tourist territory (Sharm el-Sheikh) so I'm not sure if that makes much difference. Planning to visit Cairo at some point but probably better doing that on a day when my mind's not entirely consumed by football
-
Likewise, except I'm going to Egypt. Much chance that there'll be places broadcasting al Jazeera there?
-
It's OK dear, I'm sure the nation won't linger on it as much as you will. Blackpool fans: now THERE was some ridiculous attire. Anyway I wasn't embarassed either (despite dragging some neutrals to watch the game), only thing I felt was frustration that we spurned the chance to stick one foot in the Prem.
-
Christ, how fickle are football fans? I hope some self-righteous so-and-so gets the chance to dig this thread up in 12 or 24 months time and we can all laugh at the posts within as per the Lallana/Schneiderlin threads etc. etc. He will come good given the chance (and I certainly wouldn't call 5 starting appearances 'a chance').
-
The Alex has signs up saying they're open from 10am that day.
-
I swear some people can't be seeing more than 60-70 minutes of the match. Sure, you pays your money and takes your choice, but if traffic's the primary concern then perhaps the pub or staying at home are better options. Also I think there's a big gulf between the season ticket waving (which I find abhorrent) and this chant.
-
Jeez, I suspect you're one of the only ones - which sport are you talking about?! Cavani and Lavezzi are unreal. It was a good little day last year. Plenty of bits and pieces to keep the kids amused inbetween the matches and I would imagine the Markus flag will see another outing going on what JustMike said. Enjoyed the format too.

Very moving article; he's a big man. Supremely pleased with his performance today. May I suggest that #saintsfc fans wishing to say "thank you" to Billy for today's performance show support for the Luey Jacob Sharp Foundation? No effort involved, just have to send a text message with the chosen amount. http://ljsfoundation.org.uk/

Yep, that matches my experience from when I was last at the ground early on a matchday. The players enter through a door to the left of the Megastore.
-
Every single time I walked to the kitchen today another goal went in, so I'm laying claim to all of them, ha! Apologies for keeping it 'interesting' until late On a more serious note the overall post-match feeling for me is somewhat comparable to MK Dons at home last season. A somewhat baffling comeback that gives us a superb chance to press on and aim for the automatic promotion spots (I'm not greedy, either would do).
-
Apart from being a Yeovil fan of course
-
[EDIT] Hang on, scratch this - looks like I've already posted on this thread when steaming and plain forgot about it
-
Bloody hell, thought I must be one of the older ones at 25 but evidently not! Hampshire born 'n bred, even chose Southampton Uni on basis of where my loyalties lie. First game was a pre-season friendly away to Leyton Orient circa '95 or '96 courtesy of my uncle First home game I seem to recall was a fixture against Wimbledon with Shipperley scoring twice. From there on it was a case of making matches whenever I was able to, but am now a season ticket holder in the Northam. My second love behind Saints is music - can often be found at metal gigs post-match!
-
Yeah, thought as much. Given that the post you quoted was talking about Richardson your comment was exactly as clever as I assumed. Helps if you name the subject of your ire in a sentence.
-
Who are you referring to as 'they', pray tell?
-
Last night was quiet, more atmosphere would be preferrable to less! Most of the recent chants carry well around the ground and build as they repeat ('cringey' or not the Lee one is a good example of this) but everything was falling flat. I know there's high expectations at the moment but the impatience is unnecessary when there's only an hour of the match gone. Sing whatever you like, getting behind the lads has made a difference time and again.
