  1. kingsland north is in many cases as noisy if not noisier than northan which in last 3 or 4 years has been awful, top many anti pompey songs, can often hear more from the Itchen north than northam
  2. thats where he played against Watford and imo he was more effective than other games playing just behind Ings
  3. Chorley was not a major palyer in SISA in the days it counted for anything (eg Protests that ultimately led to Branfoot getting the boot), it was the likes of Clive Foley and Nick Illingsworth and other members of the committee of which i was one, along with Fanzine producers of the time and Perry Macmillan, getting involved with well organised/publised/attended meetings and protests
  4. For the many who get train to home games works out better as we can get to game ok now and loads of people will not be at work that day anyway
  5. Been expecting this for weeks once, Spurs v Man City was moved Unfortunatley London Saints and many other supporters will have bought advanced (far cheaper) train tickets based on Saturday, after it was confirmed the game was not on TV in August. Already contacted Saints about getting compensation for our train tickets, but they are not interested, this dispite my pointing out to them that Man city are compensating their supporters who have been effected by the change of date for their game at Spurs, compensating them for train and hotel costs. Supporters relations at Saints told me we should not buy train tickets until match tickets go on sale, (but obviously do not understand that all cheaper tickets would have gone by the time they got arround to doing this), however this goes against what happened last year when date for Arsenal game was changed and i know you for one Shroppie were denied compensation for tickets and hotels you'd already paid for. As this issue os due to Spurs surely the Premier league should step in and get them to compensate supporters who have been effected as a result of their failure to complete the new stadium. most building contracts have a cluase in them for damges to be recovered should a contract overun, so Spurs are most likely getting money from the Building Contractor for whats happended and should be made pass that on to supporters. However the Premier league and it appears Saints not interested in ordinary supporters, but nice to see Man City doing the right thing
  6. this pompey site says 9,000 and forgets to include the seats in North Stand where some of my mates were and had all sorts thrown at them during the game http://www.pompeyvoices.co.uk/story/129b7e1877
  7. there were far more than 6,000 Saints fans at Fratton in 84, we had the Milton End, and Seats in North Stand and fans in half the paddock South Stand, and in section of seats above that day at least 10,000 Saints fans there
  8. Stokes -FA Cup Final Moran - Pompey 84 Moncou winner 5-4 Norwich Long - Anfield Cup Semi Final Gabbadini - Swansea
  9. Spot on we lacked a player holding up or winning the ball up front in our first two games and Long provides this, unfortunately Gabbi cannot do this and with him up front we consistently give the ball away and put ourselves under pressure
  10. S1E now on sale just over 1850 sold so far
  11. be lucky to take 2,000 i think, not so much interest in League Cup until later rounds as shown by our home attendances, doubt if Brighton have sold many either, they are only selling tickets for the lower tiers on the side and none behind the goals
  12. We dont have upper tier like we did last season, but LV1 and LV2 are lower bullpen rear with many of seats restricted views
  13. although it is a pain, it will make it easy should you wish to attend any future games as they will have all your family recorded as Saints Fans, you'll be able to get tickets for most home games and a few away ones too, youll also end up getting sent regular emails from the club
  14. Game now on Aug 12th so not a problem now surely
  15. yes at least two out there, but one who actually works and lives in China has just returned to UK for his summer holidays
  16. Join us on http://southamptonfc.com later for a live broadcast of the clash with #S04 in China

  18. if they beat Aberdeen they wil have a game the thursday before they play as as format of qualifiying has changed for forthcoming season and they have to get through three ties (6 matches) as opposed to thetwo ties (4 games0 we would have needed in 2015/16 when we lost to FC Midtjylland so they could have a long away trip in the week beofre trhey paly us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_UEFA_Europa_League
  19. Here's the Watford kit, for which we'll probably need to wear third kit http://www.footballshirtculture.com/18/19-Kits/watfordfc-adidasfootball-watford-2018-19-adidas-home-kit.html
  20. only 9 days to wait until kit details released https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-06-07/southampton-under-armour-201819-kits-coming-soon
  21. 83/84 was definately the best I've witnessed since i started going in 1965/66 Finished 2nd in league, only 3 points behind Liverpool, and in hindsight if Lawrie had started Alan Curtis instead of the unfit Steve Williams i'm sure we would have won the FA Cup that year some great games that season especially the FA cup run where we were away drawn from home in every round, Pompey game was unforgettable experience and the 8,000+ that went to Hillsborough for Quarter Final was particulaly impressive.
  22. I've voted for Tara as she is the only one i see regularly at away games and has been following the club for years
  23. If he performed to that standard we'd end up with 49pts next season with 13 wins, would have thought most of our supporters would be happy with that after what we've endured this season

  25. Saints away Travel really on the ball and already got planned trip, £1145 for 10 night trip https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33425654_10156317617224462_3950943563801427968_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=0dd51a6d7f5685267dfa48329d8812c5&oe=5B896652
