trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Don't forget though that a few thousand would have been given away free to season ticket holders and, therefore, quite a few may not actually make it to the game (I got four tickets but now will only be using two). However, I'm really hoping for a big crowd - would be absolutely fantastic for a pre-season friendly ! A tad late in the day I guess, but what about an extension of the idea at the end of last season whereby people bought and donated their tickets to a local school? Would be good if any season ticket holder who has tickets they can't use could do something similar. (Perhaps something the ticket office could have thought of in hindsight last week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Full house here we come! COYR! (although I suspect a fair slice of season ticket holders who got free tickets may not be able to make it) If people can't go who have 'free' tickets then maybe let the club know so that those seats can be resold.

trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 If people can't go who have 'free' tickets then maybe let the club know so that those seats can be resold. It does seem like a bit of a missed opportunity if people don't intend using them. One would have thought/hoped that the ticket office asked the question when selling season tickets rather than dishing them out by default.

lovell1988 Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Buy a season ticket and you'll be guaranteed one! If i could afford one I would, but being a student it isn't an option I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 There was a scheme at the end of last season to donate unused tickets to others. We should do this imo. As many as possible should be there to see exhibition footie from Ajax, and support the Saints. This is the prelude to a new beginning ON the pitch (which is a relief to be saying).

Trumush Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 If any ST holders can't make the game I'm sure they must know someone who would appreciate a free ticket. 25000 + fans in the ground will show ML he's spent his money well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offix Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 I so wish that I could be there. Saints against the team from the city where I was born, and lived for 30 years!

Tractor_Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 never been bothered about pre season friendlies Yeah - I can see why you don't want to go. Free tickets for ST holders, crowd of over 20k people, fantastic atmosphere, welcome our new owner and perhaps new manager and a chance to meet up with familiar faces down the pub for a pre-match drink then to see some more familiar faces in the ground. Would be really sh!t to be honest and best to stay at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1Minus10 Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Anyone else thinking they won't be bothering using their complementary tickets. Its going to be an embarrassment. We need manager and players signed up before this weekend if we are to have any sort of chance in the first couple months to clear the -10 What a complete load of ****ing sh!te. You'd find something to moan about if we won the Champions League FFS Just maybe the more people turn up and the better the atmosphere, the more money Markus wil be prepared to put in. Who knows?

benjii Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 I'm going for the relief, for the celebration, for the beers with mates, for the gratitude.... hopefully for some good football. I couldn't give a flying **** what the result is. As an aside, in the past few years haven't we found that the Ted Bates Trophy opponents have tended to have a friendly against a Prem side just after and have played slightly weaker teams against us?

Scrap first post just feeling despondant today, we buried gramps earlier A degree of latitude, perhaps, Billy? Anyway, it has been a good excuse for many to post very upbeat, positive messages about the match and most have expressed little concern that we might get thrashed, as they are just happy to be back there and to have the opportunity of welcoming our new owner and possibly our new manager.
