Footballfan Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 How many will we get on Tuesday night, anyone know how many tickets we have sold ?
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 Anyone know the prices too? To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition.
Deano6 Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 How many will we get on Tuesday night, anyone know how many tickets we have sold ? 14,329 & 5,121 respectively. Please lock this thread.
hypochondriac Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition. You mean you won't go to wembley to cheer us on should we reach the final?
CLOTH EARS Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 The crowd will be about 8.500 Which wouldn't be bad really.
Colinjb Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition. It may be a reflection of how low we have sunk in recent years but to consider it an embarrasment is an insult to the other clubs that participate in it. We should be going for the trophy, show the competition the respect it deserves as the chance for clubs at this level to have a showpiece competition. We are at this level, it's ours to fight for. Attendance, well, I doubt many share my view, 7,500.

Attendance, well, I doubt many share my view, 7,500. Fair play to you. It would be great if we could show everyone what we are as a club and get a really great attendance on Tues night. We could easily win this cup and it could be the first trophy of many. We are where we are and we should be competing for everything. Let's get the winning mentality and start right here!!
John Boy Saint Posted 3 October, 2009 Posted 3 October, 2009 Chuffin hell some people really need to pull their heads out of their backsides, we ain't going to get a sniff of the Champions League for quite a while so lets make the most of where we are and get a seasonally hard earned bit of silverware in the cabinet. Last seasons final was thoroughly entertaining game................... The chance to give Malwhinney the bird when he is presented to the players like Luton Fans did would be worth the effort getting to the final alone.
beatlesaint Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I think a gate of about 7500 for this competition at this stage would be awesome.
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Wasn't going to go but tempted now, probably get a ticket tomorrow.
SimonRichards Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I think we will get near the 10K mark. Cheap tickets, free for kids and a 7 pm KO.
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 15 notes for non season ticket holders on the day will put a lot of people off tho. I'd say between 7 & 8k
sotonjoe Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 yep, ridiculous pricing structure. should have been a tenner in for adults, whenever you purchase the tickets.
The Tango Man Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 This trophy is part of the package our club finds itself in..we need to be involved and not develope prima donna syndrome.
The Rover Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Pards says he wants to win it so he should put out a strong side. It's also an extra match that will help the team to gel. The cheap tickets and early KO should encourage a good turn out of youngsters and maybe some for the first time who will become firm fans. I still remember the look on my kids faces when they visited the Dell for the first evening match and got their forst sight of the lit up pitch. A lot more important than a friendly imho and I hope there is a good turn out.
suewhistle Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 The chance to give Malwhinney the bird when he is presented to the players like Luton Fans did would be worth the effort getting to the final alone. Now there's an incentive!!
dellgirl Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 So agree with several posters,we have to learn to win again and the more practice the team has to play together the better..how many of our current team have played at Wembley ? that is quite an incentive ,and ... to go there again,... as we move up the leagues with the support of everyone including us . Lets get behind them on Tuesday bring the kids and have a good evening out.
Right sider Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 This is a competition with our only realistic chance of a trip to Wembley which shouldn't be sneezed at. If you have kids a great opportunity for them to see the floodlights. This is where we are so get behind the team.
Brussels Saint Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Also as a feelgood factor for the fans, who will probably need to spend another season in Div. 3. I know I would love a trip to Wembley, with a chance to win a trophy and finally have some good news for this club. Imagine Markus being given the trophy on the pitch, to show off to 30000 Saints fans after a victorious Wembley performance.........
Jesus Reigned Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 £15 is ridiculously overpriced for this game; even if I could make it I'd never pay that.
The Fat Controller Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 over 10,000 is achievable but i think Saints should have given out free tickets in a ballot to schools from Hampshire, Wilts, IOW, and Berks and should have given them the whole of the Chapel Stand. These kids are our future supporters, think of the lost revenue in food, Programmes & Merchandise- surely worth considering if we get through and get another home game especially with a 7pm KO
Mr Saints Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 With all the **** we've had to sit through in recent years, I would welcome a trip to Wembley.
Sour Mash Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition. Make sure you don't show your face if we make it to Wembley then. :smt064
Ponty Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition. Seems to me that you didn't not want it enough.
paulwantsapint Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Why is it a 7pm KO? Doesn't leave much time between work & match
St. Jason Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I and my family were going to go but now I can't by tickets for the Itchen we won't be bothering......................hang on just read its only the Itchen and Northam open, couldn't make it up!
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I'm tempted to buy a ticket just in case we make it to the final so that I'll definatly get one.
Toomer Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 £15 is ridiculously overpriced for this game; even if I could make it I'd never pay that. I payed £7.50
Jesus Reigned Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 £15 is ridiculously overpriced for this game; even if I could make it I'd never pay that. I payed £7.50 We're not all season ticket holders unfortunately!!
Evil Monkey Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 We're not all season ticket holders unfortunately!! Better fans get cheaper tickets.
Toomer Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Better fans get cheaper tickets. Please, lets not have another I'm a better fan than you debate, ST holders, members and the people that buy match by match are all as important as each other, we all want the same thing.
jam Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Please, lets not have another I'm a better fan than you debate, ST holders, members and the people that buy match by match are all as important as each other, we all want the same thing. No, season ticket holders are more important.
Saint_clark Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Still quite tempted by this, but I would be cutting it close - i'd have to get the 5.20 train from Weymouth, getting me into Southampton with about 10 minutes to kick-off and with tickets still to buy.
Clifford Nelson Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition. I don't agree and I hope AP doesn't blow the chance of using it to help honing the ideas he started putting into practice against Bristol by stuffing the team full of youngsters. Give Holmes a start, maybe, and Lallana a rest, which will tell him how dependent we really are on him. Rest Mellis and give Gillet a start and possibly also a starting birth for Perry who has not done anything wrong. But use the game wisely.
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 I'll be turning up, dont wanna miss a goal fest do I :-)
Dimond Geezer Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 It may be a reflection of how low we have sunk in recent years but to consider it an embarrasment is an insult to the other clubs that participate in it. We should be going for the trophy, show the competition the respect it deserves as the chance for clubs at this level to have a showpiece competition. We are at this level, it's ours to fight for. Attendance, well, I doubt many share my view, 7,500. Completely agree. I'll be there, along with 5 other friends/family. Good pricing structure, for this stage in the tournament. Kick-off time is a pain in the arse, but he-ho, can't have everything. Hopefully we can get into a winning habit & win the think.
badgerx16 Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Wasn't there a quote from Nicola Cortese that he wanted to see some actual trophies in the cabinet, as all he had seen was a samurai sword ? This is an ideal opportunity to start filling it; First the JPT, next the League 1 title, then the CCC, then the League Cup ( with whichever sponsor's name is attached to it at the time ), the FA Cup, the Europa League, the Prem, the Champions League,.......... That should keep us going for about 5 years.
dickyhale Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 £15 is ridiculously overpriced for this game; even if I could make it I'd never pay that. Go down today(before match day )and its only a tenner or ask someone ST and your get it for £7.50 not bad for a night of Football but as you say you cant make it so why all the fuss
Ken Tone Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Why is it a 7pm KO? Doesn't leave much time between work & match I think the club has shot itself in the foot here. It has forgotten how many fans travel a fair way to games. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding it just about impossible to get to a 7pm k.o. after work. Even 7.45 is difficult with end-of-rush-hour traffic down the A34 and M3. In effect the club has decided to make it 'take the little kids' evening for only those people actually living and working in Southampton. Fair enough, but I hope later stage games in the JPT are at normal times. Will be the first home game in any competition (as opposed to friendlies) that I've missed n about 12 years. Give them a shout for me. K.

Ken Tone Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 I agree it's stupid, but is it really the clubs that decide kick-off time? Well yes it is, unless the police say there is a crowd control/safety issue (surely not for this game) or the TV people dictate (also not for this game). K.
Hopkins Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Love the idea of us being in this competition. The bloke who claimed its embarrasing and a friendly...Will you be going to Wembley if we get there? Joke competition but one I want to win. What sort of team we sticking out? I'd suspect Holmes, Saga, Pato to play. Lambert not and obviously Mellis isn't. Maybe Lallana on the bench. Jaidi wont play with a game on Friday either.
S-Clarke Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Love the idea of us being in this competition.

I'd suspect Holmes, Saga, Pato to play. Lambert not and obviously Mellis isn't. Maybe Lallana on the bench. Jaidi wont play with a game on Friday either. As full strength as we can put out according to pards ''We want to win it - so we'll be putting out our strongest team''
John B Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 To me it is nothing more than a friendly - don't want to sound arrogant but I am embarressed to even be in this competition. Well lets win it then and show that we are too good for this trophy
krissyboy31 Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 As full strength as we can put out according to pards ''We want to win it - so we'll be putting out our strongest team'' I'd still expect a few to be rested. Perry in for Jaidi etc., and a few to be given a run out. Saga for Waigo etc.
krissyboy31 Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Well lets win it then and show that we are too good for this trophy I agree. Cortese said he was almost embarrassed by the lack of trophies in the cabinet. Well this may be a Mickey Mouse competition but it is a legitimate FL trophy.
mel1961red Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Well I am taking my two kids, me my friend and two kids for £15 cant moan about an evenings entertainment for that price we need as many as we can get there tomorrow night to support the mighty Saints COYR
