red&white56 Posted 28 July, 2009 Posted 28 July, 2009 9,500 season ticket holders - I'm not one of them. I've just bought 3 tickets for the Milwall game in the Northam but could only get block 40 upper tier. Does this mean a good crowd for the game (20,000+)?
trousers Posted 28 July, 2009 Posted 28 July, 2009 Not sure we should be talking about the first game yet (in just over one week) as pardew hasn't had time to pull a team or back room staff together yet... ;-)

red&white56 Posted 28 July, 2009 Author Posted 28 July, 2009 Not sure we should be talking about the first game yet (in just over one week) as pardew hasn't had time to pull a team or back room staff together yet... ;-) Why not - it's only 10 days away? Many posters keep saying that pre-season is all about fitness and forget the result. Well whether we're ready or not the season starts in under 2 weeks.
Rocker268 Posted 28 July, 2009 Posted 28 July, 2009 I don't think the attendance will be massive because of holidays, my parents and brother are all Season Ticket holders but can't make it because of holidays and I guess that will be the same with a lot of people. The match is also on sky so people may decide to stay at home/in a pub to watch the match instead
rick1976.4.38 Posted 28 July, 2009 Posted 28 July, 2009 we should get 20,000 + for millwall,new era for saints under ap and ml.bring it on,cant wait,millwall should bring a couple of thousand,should be a good atmosphere,coyr
Spades Posted 28 July, 2009 Posted 28 July, 2009 Im gutted im going to miss the millwall and northampton games due to being away in Greece Definately guna look to find a bar showing the millwall game though
The Godfather Posted 28 July, 2009 Posted 28 July, 2009 9,500 season ticket holders - I'm not one of them. I've just bought 3 tickets for the Milwall game in the Northam but could only get block 40 upper tier. Does this mean a good crowd for the game (20,000+)? Millwall have taken the full 3200 allocation but whether they sell them all is a different matter.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 I bought 3 days ago and was expecting to see block 42 well empty, but could could only get 41. Hopefully a good crowd!
The Godfather Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 I bought 3 days ago and was expecting to see block 42 well empty, but could could only get 41. Hopefully a good crowd! I think the northam end will be virtually full and we're get a decent crowd but depends on how sales in other parts of the ground go.
Ash Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 I think the northam end will be virtually full and we're get a decent crowd but depends on how sales in other parts of the ground go. I booked yesterday and couldn't get two tickets next to each other from block 4-6, but I think the bloke on the phone was a bit of a spaz. Ended up in the Kingsland corner for the first time ever, better be good.
dune Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 As others have said the opening fixture is never huge due to holidays. Also you need to factor in that it's Millwall - families will think twice. It's also on SKY. Brentford at home will be a bigger gate in my view especially if we've got a few "results" prior and the interest level is notched up.
lovell1988 Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 do the club not do student ticket prices anymore? or can you just not get the student tickets online?
krissyboy31 Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 do the club not do student ticket prices anymore? or can you just not get the student tickets online? Young Adult replaced Student.
lovell1988 Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 Young Adult replaced Student. just as a title? so students should buy young adult tickets?
RedAndWhite91 Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 Young Adult is for 17-21 year olds I think. (Could be 23, can't remember what the woman said when I got my season ticket)
RedAndWhite91 Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 It's actually 16-21 year olds, just seen on OS.
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 I bought 10 tickets, which makes me better than ALL of you!

Stuartinoz Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 I bought 10 tickets, which makes me better than ALL of you! Well I got 23 tickets, just one for each game of the season AM I better?
Amesbury Saint Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 It's actually 16-21 year olds, just seen on OS. 17+ the other category is 16 and under
westofshannonsaint Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 Millwall have taken the full 3200 allocation but whether they sell them all is a different matter. & according to a Millwall forum they still have 3000 left. http://www.independentmillwall.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=92446 Going by Internet sites we have sold more train tickets than match tickets
Redondo Saint Posted 29 July, 2009 Posted 29 July, 2009 As others have said the opening fixture is never huge due to holidays.

Brentford at home will be a bigger gate in my view especially if we've got a few "results" prior and the interest level is notched up. This is a reality check if ever there was one! Brentford used to be a pre-season friendly not too long ago!
Thedelldays Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 This is a reality check if ever there was one! Brentford used to be a pre-season friendly not too long ago! big game, big name
Saints Warrior Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 3200! dont think they have that many who go away with average 9800 for home games. But that could well boost the numbers to 20,000 to 22,000 which would be good for that leaque. About 20 teams in Div 3 (old name) had 10,000 or less average gate last season so lets not get to hopefull on gates as away fans wont be at full capacity.
Chez Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 they sold out (SMS allocation) a few years ago in the CCC but that was in a game ti avoid relegation.
SFC Forever Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 I bought 10 tickets, which makes me better than ALL of you! I went on a diet and only need one seat now
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 they sold out (SMS allocation) a few years ago in the CCC but that was in a game ti avoid relegation. Are you sure they sold out the allocation? I seem to remember there only being about 500 of them at most.
samski saint Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 Are you sure they sold out the allocation? I seem to remember there only being about 500 of them at most. No they never sold their allocation out.
Griffo Posted 1 August, 2009 Posted 1 August, 2009 they sold out (SMS allocation) a few years ago in the CCC but that was in a game ti avoid relegation. I can remember there being a tiny number of them.. We won 2-0?
Iowsaintsfan Posted 1 August, 2009 Posted 1 August, 2009 Tried to phone up yesterday to get 3 tickets together in the Northam or Itchen North, none togther so said id phone back today hoping that unrenewed season tickets had gone on sale and BINGO back in the Northam right at the back too, Happy Dayz!
RedAndWhite91 Posted 1 August, 2009 Posted 1 August, 2009 This time next week it will be 20 minutes into the match, I can't wait!!
red&white56 Posted 4 August, 2009 Author Posted 4 August, 2009 15,000 tickets sold as of this morning (Tuesday 4th) - my prediction 18,000
saint michael Posted 4 August, 2009 Posted 4 August, 2009 I have 2 season tickets in block4 and got call today telling me that back 4 rows are going to be closed all season so have been moved
J Bizzle Posted 4 August, 2009 Posted 4 August, 2009 Even if it is open, the itchen will be ****.... before it closed too many gimps decided to sit there.
