Well the normal away section in the Arkells stand was completely full, and i would say there were easily another 4 -500 behind the goal that night stand by my earlier quote of over 1600. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/swindon_town/ "Away fans are located in the Arkells Stand at one side of the pitch, where up to 1,200 fans can be housed".

Why don't you just return them to ticket office where you would get full refund of £50 ?
-
NB - Engineering works between Southampton and Romsey that day so need to get up to Eastleigh to catch Bristol Trains
-
Indeed Guly won more headers defending in our penalty area than anyone else especially from the long throw in's Cardiif were using
-
On halfway line according to this plan of the ground http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slika:Selhurst_Park.JPG
-
Nb engineering works mean you'll need to get bus to Basingstoke to get to Reading
-
Group save 4 tickets are not valid on cross country trains, but you can still get to Reading in a little over an hour changing at Basingstoke. Also worth noting kids can travel for £1 if on group 4 if you have 4 adults in group

Our recent record away against Northern teams
oldsarum replied to SaintJackoInHurworth's topic in The Saints
So the 'table' would look like this: P W D L F A Pts 9 3 2 4 11 12 8 So, why is our recent record against Northern teams relatively-speaking (i.e. in comparison to our other results) so bad? it's not great, but also not as bad as you make out, for a start we only lost 2-0 at Rochdale, stats should be P W D L F A Pts 9 3 2 4 11 10 11 so more than a point a game which isn't too bad -
saints away coaches advertised in the Echoo again on Monday and were offering trips to Burnley and Cardiff
-
incorrect its another example of people with no wage rises in the past few years cutting back and missing what in effect was a reserve game
-
No it would have been the top rank / speedway end or whatever that was called in those days, City End ?
-
it's all a planned publicity stunt to push Arsenal's super dooper horrible new badge, probably part of Chambo's contract was to kiss the badge if he scores
-
I too was under the West Stand at Archers end. I remember clearly the Spurs fans cutting holes in the newly erected fence before and during the game and expected the worse if we beat them. However at the end all that happened was that Spurs fans pressed up against the gaps in the fence got thumped by Saints fans celebrating on the pitch. I think it would have been a different story though had Spurs not got promoted Also a few days before the this game at Orient a few Spurs fans turned up and made it obvious who they were and got sorted out by some of the 12,000 saints fans in the crowd
-
Think West Ham despite being midweek will be a good crowd, and as hospitallity should be fairly good for that game

last season our away avaearage was about 1600 and we seldom had below 1000, only 500 Oldham (evening game), 600 Hartlepool and 900 Carlisle I would have thought felll below that level. Our average would have been higher had it not been for the large number of midweek away games and the restricted capacities or allocations we were given eg Brighton 900 tickets, Bournemouth 1200(when Brighton were given 2,300) We have already had a great turn at Leicester 2682 and the 1200 at Ipswich for a midweek game was pretty good You only get the Hardcore of around 1000 to most northern games, but for games in the midlands out turnouts are improving around 2,200 at Notts Co. last year 200 0 at Walsall year before, and we had nearly 2000 at Leeds a couple of years ago. So we are not quite up with the big boys but our away support has got better in the last couple of seasons and I would expect our avarage to be around 1,800 at end of the season helped by good turn outs at Reading, P8mpey, Brighton, Palace, Watford and Bristol City
-
Because their official site is still talking about they have 1000 tickets for this game, which suggests they haen't yet sold their initially allocation

Championship games on TV US/Canada
oldsarum replied to doggface's topic in Overseas Saints / Supporters Groups
Game was moved to Sunday 3 PM KO due to Birmingham playing in Europa League on Thursday So Sky not now televising game -
not precise but announcement at end of game said just 1600 and something, which I thought was pretty good given only knew who we were playing 6 days before the game
-
details announced today Can't see why they needed to announce datails earlier only restricted areas of three stands open, doubt if we'll get 10K given we have two home games in 8 days just before this game http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2443473,00.html

If you have a network card you can get return train ticket Banbury on network card and then return from Banbury to Coventry as standard return fare £11.80 which I think is about the same fare. Unlike the £34 fare, this will not change however late you book it, from Salisbury it works out about £36 return NB make sure when getting tickets you book seats (this is free) as these trains get really crowded
-
Things can change so quickly. Swindon were in Play Off Final and chance of going up to Championship, a now in danger of being in the same league as Salisbury next season It does seem though that clubs like Swindon and Bournemouth have their one chance of glory, but if they miss out they're unlikley yo maintain the momentum as they lose their best palyers / managers etc.

I'm sure that's the case I took my three kids who thoroughly enjoyed it all must have been just over 1000 there , players were brilliant signing Autographs and having photos taken afterwards Made a change form seeing all the Chav fans of Spurs/ Arsenal / Liverpool at training grounds on SKY yesterday
