Indeed for instance when travelling by train to Exeter it's cheaper to get Group of Four to Axminster then Group of 4 from Axminster to Exeter than a straight forward Group of 4 form Southampton to Exeter.

Steve lots of detail given above, but what is the date of the game, can't see it anywhere.

Totally agree eelpie. It must have been obvious to all our Directors (incl. Mr's Lowe, Wilde, Jones) the terrible financail position we were in on March 26th, our position could not have got much worse in the few days betweb then and when we went into adminstration. What have we gained from the delay into going into administration apart from an almost certain 10 points deduction at the start of next season. Well done one and all, i wonder who Rupert will blame for this gross error, as it obviously wasn't his fault, after all nothing is ever or ever will be his fault!!

Preston without a doubt was best, had great night out before in Lancaster, and like many present had given up any hope when Preston scored their second just before half -time but the second half comeback combined with last minute winner, plus all the goals being scored at our end made it a great awayday, and who can forget Kelvin running the length of the field to join in the celebrations when we scored the winner. Reading was also top notch dayout, and I really enjoyed Donny and Derby too.

Got to be Swansea not only for the performance but also the way the Police behaved. Although Bristol Police ran them a close second. Also Birmingham where I wasn't let in our end so had to watch from home end. But performaces at Wolves (left at half time watched second jhalf in pub), Coventry, QPR are far behind as awful trips.

I've got 6 Saints supporting mates coming over from Holland for this game, but it seems the majority of people of Southampton can't be arsed even though we desperately need the money form the gate receipts, no wonder we are in the mess we are, they all managed to turn out for the Man U game Ok .

Saints know there is enough demand for extra allocation, it's Forest who are stalling and maybe trying to restrict our numbers, and give more tickets to thier fans for this vital game

Saints now there is enough demand for extra allocation, it's Forest who are stalling and maybe trying to restrict our numbers, and give more tickets to thier fans for this vital game

Picked up tickets for London Saints this morning, approx 600 left. Also although Saints have repeatedly requested the extra allocation Forest will not make a decision on whether we'll get the extra tickets until monday (obviously waiting to see how weekends results effect the situation), sop we may end up with only the inital allocation. if they don't give us the extras I think there will be a made scramble toget remaining tickets.

You are right it was Mackerel thrown on the pitch as it had been at all the previous cup games at Forest, P*mpey and Blackburn on that cup run. Several lads from West Tytherley started the trend at Forest adn more and more fish got thrown on the pitch as the run contuinued. I helped run two coaches from Salisbury to Sheffield, which contained some of these lads and the smell of all the fish was awful. Also remember not being allowed to being escorted back by Police to South Of Oxford on the way back, we only just managed pint before closing time just north of Newbury.

It is definately one ticket per season ticket, but I think you'll find many on here are getting tickets for either other season ticket holders or are using season tickets from people who are not going to the game for other supporters.

I see on OS that all David Luker is co-ordinating the fundraising effort http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11612 So suggust everyone contact him rather than the likes of Leon Crouch

On the subject of Fundraising, did anyone see the the 76 year old Lady on Sky Sports news who supported Saints all her life hand over £500 of her own cash to the cause. This club has a hardcore of great fans, she is a fine example of the great supporters we have.

You're right it wasn't as central and also it was closer to goal, i'm not sure that JPS would have been up to get it up and over the wall as easily. Also agree with many others that David McGoldrick was superb last night.

Wolves were given 5,500 for their game there a fortnight ago, but David Luker has been told we will get 4,300.

I was already organising 2 minibuses from Salisbury for this one, even before this weeks events, and think even more will want to go now. I've been told by David Luker that we will be getting 4300 tickets for this game and with the number of people I know who want ticket I don't think that number will be sufficient, and I think tickets will be like goldust once they go on sale. Im sure that many fans will end up disappointed, but there are already contingency plans for a beam back to St Mary's if necessary.

I see on official site ticket office opening late due to the high demand for tickets http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11583 If you havn't got a ticket already get on dwon there !!! Lets get the ground full

Alpine if we had gone into administration and then got relegated the 10 points would get deducted next season anyway (see attached article) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7965152.stm So there would have been no benefit going into administration last week, unless we were certain we would stay up eg Darlington.

Phil To gain access to seats in the marvellous stadium at Bloomfield Road, you did so via a walkway at the front of the stand, which ran between the perimeter hoardings and the stand. The fan in question was in the walkway area leaning on the hoarding, and was in a designated spectator area ! Although having said that the authorities were not keen on supporters staying in the walkway area too long.

The Dell bar is certainly open to anyone every lunchtime apart from Saturday matchdays, I went there for lunch last week, had a very good meal and not too expensive either.

Tickets definately available on the day http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11522 According to the official site we've sold around 850 tickets so far, so should be around 1000 up there who should give the team good support.

20 + London Saints going up Friday afternoon, returning after game. 3 of those are also staying for Saturday night, and being joined by 3 Dutch Saints who flying over Friday and staying friday night in Liverpool, Saturday night Blackpool.

Yep monday is bank holiday. NB Kick off is 1.15PM see link http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11480

Just did the same, said only 120 tickets from original 1041 left, but even if they sell out tickets will still be available on day at Brum. So looks like we'll have a good level of support up there on Saturday.

Why do think they won't sell tickets on the day ? Birmingham attendances are not very good considering their position in the league, and i'm sure if Saints sell out the 1041 tickets they were initally given, that they will be given more and there will be sales on the day as happened at Bristol City.
