I think the concourse size and access, is the major reason for using the Kingsland, plus they have to put subs in several blocks of Itchen Stand

Saints getting ready to allocate tickets, just received this email from club we’re delighted to confirm that we can finally welcome fans back to St Mary’s, with measures in place to keep you safe. With Southampton in tier 2 of the government’s local restriction tier system, the club will be able to allow a maximum of 2,000 supporters into the stadium for our match against Sheffield United on Sunday 13th December. You previously confirmed that you would like to be considered for selection to attend matches in October and November. To retain the same details and group you may have previously selected for the match against Sheffield United, and further fixtures in December and January, no further action is required. If you wish to amend this, please complete the form using the button below.

I tend to have something to eat in pub before come games, so if I was successful in getting a ticket would do the same as normal and just miss out on pint after the game

Why priories SO postcodes over many nearby areas that have a even lower R rate?

Being party to meetings with club, they suggested more than 12k season ticket holders. They also said they had contacted those season tickets holders and knew those who because of COVID didn’t wish to attend or couldn’t due to medical conditions, around 12% of season ticket holders came into this category in October they had planned for 8k fans allowed and were planning in those circumstances on rewarding fans who rarely miss a home or away game or were long standing season ticket holders before any ballot.

its already covered on another thread, but here it is talking about Times article https://www.prostinternational.com/2020/11/08/changing-tempos-opposition-coaxing-and-daring-swagger-southamptons-success-begins-with-a-ball-playing-backline/?fbclid=IwAR29ulynd3BKZkOOlmfphIydAeR-jadcHS1KomDNuAQerV1LrJFkuicpBPE

Can’t help with getting Times article, but here’s a great one a mate of mine found https://www.prostinternational.com/2020/11/08/changing-tempos-opposition-coaxing-and-daring-swagger-southamptons-success-begins-with-a-ball-playing-backline/?fbclid=IwAR0ci0-VU7RD8nmk7aEoAtiD51X5PeYZwXmKk4g00xjY0zxraenCc_RCrMg

It’s noticeable that our defenders play the ball at the back until they see to play the ball through midfield on the deck to the likes of Walcott, Armstrong and Adams, not that often they hoof it, Vestergaard particularly good at this. See ball to Walcott for second goal at Villa last week.

4 weeks would mean missing 3 games, 6 weeks would mean missing 6 games, lets hope its 4 weeks, but think even if he's fit he will probably miss more games through squad rotation/resting as he did last year for Chelsea and Palace away games , which didn't adversely effect us last season

I've just been refunded one amount, which I'm pretty certain is for Everton and Newcastle games

I think you're being unfair in your criticism , its easy to sit back now and say that, but when tickets went on sale in July things were improving. In those circumstances I think the club did the right thing to gauge interest, to find out how many season ticket holders would want tickets, and then after that when it was thought restricted crowds might be possible, they could then use this as a basis to try and find out who of those with season tickets would not want to attend due to COVID, and then work out ways to allocate tickets to the season ticket holders who wanted to attend games. If we had have been able to attend in October a system was in place, something many other clubs haven't got. Unfortunately this never happened but Saints would have been ill prepared otherwise, and the moaners on here would have complained about that too. No win situation but think Saints did the right thing and are now refunding supporters fairly promptly for games they cannot attend.

just listened to this, Ryan came over brilliantly and very clear he loves the club, and sure he will sign the new contract that's been muted

No sure, maybe it's a reorganisation and expansion of Scouting, part of the masterplan Ralph came up with during lockdown, prior to him signing his extended contract

yes received it onto my account yesterday

Yes goal and another assist for Adams today

When season tickets went on sale they were anticipating fans being allowed back in grounds in October. At least Saints refunded season ticket holders for games they were unable to attend at the end of last season and for the two games this season. Compare that to Newcastle who have not refunded any money.

A few things to add to Shroppie’s excellent summary LD Sports went under on August 2nd, new sponsor obtained within a week. The Club knew nothing about the Big Picture until Sunday when newspaper article published UA could not produce shirts in time for Christmas so no choice but to go to alternative manufacture And £14.95 fee for PPV set by broadcasters clubs had no input in price set All West Brom refunds will be processed soon The following two home games will be refunded in one transaction And just like to confirm last line of his summary, club were extremely open and honest in all their answers.

I can't see how they could discuss anything regards possible take over as it is financial/business sensitive issue

They will also cover the “Big Picture”

Yes £14.95 is approx 50% of the refund I get from my season ticket and 50% of what I would have paid to go to away games, with some of these away games being on TV anyway, so don’t have a problem with this, especially if you get a few friends around to watch games to chip (obviously no more than 6)

I doubt England will play many regulars tonight as its a friendly and 3 games in 7 days, so think every chance that both Ings and JWP will get significant game time tonight, with regulars returning for Belgium game on Sunday

Mine through too, looks like SFC refund system up and running now

The new shirt my son has is what you would expect for the size we ordered, and fits perfectly

All very clear in article on website “All supporters that have paid using card, either for the full cost of the Season Ticket, by instalments, or using a combination of card and credits, will be refunded directly to the card used for payment.” https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2020-09-18/southampton-fc-season-ticket-refunds-for-spurs?utm_source=dotmailer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2776709_ANN - STH Action Required&utm_content=Spurs refund button&dm_i=2HKL,1NIIT,2DOXL8,5LVFC,1

About the same as you’d pay to watch game live
