Down and Out Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 After this season promising so much and yet true to form being a big let down so far....will get more enjoyment and it's completely free watching the Bournemouth Air Show! And sat on a beach too! lol
iamasaint Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 Hi, I am visiting from Singapore (yes yes we actually STILL have fans here) and would very much like to attend the game against Brentford tomorrow. I am in Paris right now and am thinking of taking the eurostar to Waterloo and then drive up or take another train. Could some kind soul please advise which is the best way to get from Paris to Southampton? Also, could I still buy tickets at the door tomorrow? I can only leave for Southampton tomorrow morning. I assume the game starts at 12? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Saint_clark Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 I'd imagine you could get a return flight from Paris to Southampton. Not sure though. And yes, tickets can be bought on the day.
Gigersaint Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 Maybe around 19-20k? When I got a ticket for my son yesterday sales were already over 15k according to the ticket office. Does anyone know roughly how many tickets get sold from walk up on the day?

I assume the game starts at 12? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Paris to Eastleigh = £31 with Flybe. Seems like the best way, only 1 hour 10 minutes and probably a lot cheaper than Eurostar. Flight back sunday evening is £63.
lordswoodsaints Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 18k.....I think a few people would have lost a bit of interest after the fook up that was Swindon. It will still be more than Pompey will get at home for their next game though,especially as James,Campbell,distin and nugent will all leave in the next few days.:-) Why oh why didn't they look at us and not learn from our mistakes.

egreog Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 I think the attendance will begin to fall away until there seems to be a structure to the team and a sniff of a chance of victory.......15k tomorrow would be satisfactory........a victory and it will build.........a defeat or dull draw and it will diminish

fromthedell Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 People have very short memories.It was only a matter of weeks ago that we very nearly lost our club forever. It will be very sad for the new owner if we don't get at least 20K. But nothing would surprise me anymore COYR Stand up and be counted. i think your find that 15000 is a very good crowd in this league considering most teams only get between 6000 to 8000

You then have to cross London on the tube to get southampton train from waterloo to Southampton. Time to do it for a 3pm (NB) kick off, but flying direct to southampton airport would be quicker. K.
MorningtonCrescent Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 Eurostar doesn't arrive into Waterloo anymore - St Pancras is the new London International Rail Terminal. As someone else said - Flybe direct from Paris to Southampton has to be the quickest (and cheapest?) option. Match KO time is 3pm not 12, so plenty of time to get a flight and enjoy a pre-match drink?!
docker-p Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 16700 Bastard, thats what I was going to say. Make it 16699, i'm not going anymore.:mad:
dellgirl Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 19003and we should all be there,the kids need our support and the manager and older pros need to know we are behind them now ,its easy to support winning teams,but what makes them into winners,in no small part it is knowing your supporters are there for you when you run out onto the pitch..I wouldn't miss it for the world..get your a***s down there tomorrow COYR
Saint_clark Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 Bastard, thats what I was going to say. Make it 16699, i'm not going anymore.:mad: That's a bit OTT just because he stole your prediction, isn't it?
CLOTH EARS Posted 21 August, 2009 Author Posted 21 August, 2009 I think the attendance will begin to fall away until there seems to be a structure to the team and a sniff of a chance of victory.......15k tomorrow would be satisfactory........a victory and it will build.........a defeat or dull draw and it will diminish In the days when supporters didn't need to buy their tickets in advance the Saints crowds would genarally go up when the team had won its previous game and vice versa, if the team went on an unbeaten run the crowds would rise game on game and again if the team was on a losing run the crowds would drop off game on game. The fact of the matter is that the fans like to see winning teams. If you check through Saints fixtures and attendances in the mid 1970's, when advance ticket purchases were not neccassary, you will see what i mean. There may be a couple of exceptions but generally you will see that what I am saying is correct.
mcjwills Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 im not going after Tuesday Typical part time supporter I'm not an ST holder, so saves me £30 It's only £22.00 at the cheapest seats Pre-season friendly for my club side, still massively injured after Stevegrant ruined my career so i'm Asst Manager this season Well Saint Stevo, I wont expect you to be on the site this weekend pontificating about how bad the team is as you were not there to give a proper objective view. I never come on to the site to run down the team if I have not attended the game, as I can not give a proper unbiased opinion without seeing it for myself. P.S. 22479 tomorrow
Northant Saint Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 I think people predicting 20,000 in league one after our latest results are deluded. 16k for me.
shirleysfc Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 Anyone know if they're ever going to open the bottle bars again at SMS?
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 17.5k max and that will still be in the top 4 highest attendances in this league over the weekend.
Tractor_Saint Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 (edited) 16,996 - stuck at Butlins in Minehead with the girlfriend and the kids so we're not going to be there but will be list-list-listen-en-en-ening! COYR!! Edited 21 August, 2009 by Tractor_Saint
RonManager Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 16,996 - stuck at Butlins in Minehead with the girlfriend and the kids so we're not going to be there but will be listening! COYR!! How did that happen - they'll never let you out again, you do know that don't you? I was in Minehead today and I thought I could sense the presence of a fellow Saints supporter.
latter day saint Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 Anyone know if they're ever going to open the bottle bars again at SMS? i bloody hope so as if i'm getting ****ed off waiting around for most of half-time for a warm glass of slops
dubai_phil Posted 21 August, 2009 Posted 21 August, 2009 17,962 Which co-incidentally is exactly the same number of fat chicks my Irish mate has sh*gged from Rock Bottom in the past 18 months God Bless Bullfrogs

Nineteen Canteen Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Paris to Eastleigh = £31 with Flybe. Seems like the best way, only 1 hour 10 minutes and probably a lot cheaper than Eurostar. Flight back sunday evening is £63. Chuck on taxes, bag checks, toilet usage, etc etc and don't expect much change from £200.

COYR!! Butlins? Girlfriend and the kids? This may not seem obvious but it may be time to re-evaluate your travel plans and find a new soul mate.
Johnny Bognor Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Chuck on taxes, bag checks, toilet usage, etc etc and don't expect much change from £200. Still quicker and possibly cheaper than the Eurostar. As for toilet usage, just go for a wee wee in the airport before you board.
iamasaint Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Hi guys! Thank you so much for assisting me in trying to get to the match. Unfortunately, the trips a little too long considering I have to get back to Paris by tonight and I was knackered out by yesterdays work. I will be tuning in from the internet and may the Saints nick this!
EFM Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Hi guys! Thank you so much for assisting me in trying to get to the match. Unfortunately, the trips a little too long considering I have to get back to Paris by tonight and I was knackered out by yesterdays work. I will be tuning in from the internet and may the Saints nick this! Well thanks for ****ing up all our attendance predictions! Now we'll need to start again. 42,707
Saint_clark Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Well thanks for ****ing up all our attendance predictions! Now we'll need to start again. 42,707 Que?
John Boy Saint Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Well thanks for ****ing up all our attendance predictions! Now we'll need to start again. 42,707 The truths out, the gate money was being skimmed after all and I thought I was going mad when I got to 38,527 as I counted the seats at SMS during one of our interesting games last season.
ottery st mary Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 The truths out, the gate money was being skimmed after all and I thought I was going mad when I got to 38,527 as I counted the seats at SMS during one of our interesting games last season. Slight exageration there me thinks....I always take my abacus to games and have only got to 36,243 and double checked it.:smt118
ST Randy Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Slight exageration there me thinks....I always take my abacus to games and have only got to 36,243 and double checked it.:smt118 Thats rubbish. Do what I do at matches and count the number of eyes of everyone in the ground and then divide by the number of noses. I only got to 34,893 at the match last season v Man U.
Nineteen Canteen Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 Still quicker and possibly cheaper than the Eurostar. As for toilet usage, just go for a wee wee in the airport before you board. Minus the romance of course and you can read Clarkson's column in the Times without being worried with regard to paying for the safe deposit of your vomit.
Tractor_Saint Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 19C - my kids not hers and she was a ST holder before me so priorities are perfect thanks
Tractor_Saint Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 So, a good crowd of 19,169 - who wins? (Can't be bothered to scan back through as wireless is absolutely shocking at Butlins and I paid £35 for the privilege!)
WestSaint Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 I think that Ron manager wins tonights star prize !! .......... a ticket to the next game
RonManager Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 (edited) 19,156 Is there a prize? I was sooooooooooo close!!! 19169. Only 13 out. Edited 22 August, 2009 by RonManager
krissyboy31 Posted 22 August, 2009 Posted 22 August, 2009 There was about a thousand more than I thought would be there but then again Brentford brought a thousand more than I thought they would.
bigtonesfc Posted 23 August, 2009 Posted 23 August, 2009 There was about a thousand more than I thought would be there but then again Brentford brought a thousand more than I thought they would. They brought about a thousand less than i thought they would!
ericofarabia Posted 23 August, 2009 Posted 23 August, 2009 I was very impressed wih the vocal support from the Brentford fans. We as per usual went a bit flat when they equalised, we should be used to it by now Hoping for better vocal support at Stockport than we mustered at Huddersfield. Obviously a better performance on the pitch would help
