Whitey Grandad Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I see that the OS still has us down as playing Rovers at 15:00 on the Saturday.
RonManager Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I see that the OS still has us down as playing Rovers at 15:00 on the Saturday. There's been an article on the 'latest news' since yesterday saying that the match is on Friday.
benjii Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I can't believe they've so shamelessly copied our website like that.

Whitey Grandad Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 There's been an article on the 'latest news' since yesterday saying that the match is on Friday. I saw that yesterday but I was looking at the fixture list today: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/FixturesResults/0,,10280,00.html
Tractor_Saint Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I saw that yesterday but I was looking at the fixture list today: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/FixturesResults/0,,10280,00.html Yup - still says Saturday on my credit card fixture list in my wallet too
Saint_clark Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Yup - still says Saturday on my credit card fixture list in my wallet too FFS Saints, sort it out.
Genk Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Come on, ticket news has got to be released soon. It's only 9 days until the game
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Yup - still says Saturday on my credit card fixture list in my wallet too Does it also say 'Bristol Rovers away'?
Tractor_Saint Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Does it also say 'Bristol Rovers away'? Unbelievable - you're right, hasn't been updated since the draw and just says "F.A. Cup R1" Liebherr out!
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Friday night? ********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bristolsaint29 Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Just a thought? I assume they'll be collect from the ground bearing in mind there is a postal strike! MIght be foobarred otherwise
Andy_Porter Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 I don't think there will be any time to post them out now. Can't see it selling out on a Friday anyway so shouldn't be a problem.
Paul Chuckle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Rang up the Ticket office 10 minutes ago, still to get allocation through from Bristol Rovers. They may have it tomorrow morning they may not. Not being funny but how long does this take to work out? Just give us what they gave us last time and send the tickets down. I am sure if it was at SMS Bristol Rovers would have their ticket allocation by now

I am sure if it was at SMS Bristol Rovers would have their ticket allocation by now If Rovers want people to go then they should get the tickets out sharpish. What with the postal mess Monday is probably too late to send them out.
bungle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 It is not all-ticket for home fans, but I presume it will be all ticket for us? However, posting tickets in time is now going to be very difficult.
RonManager Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Cospiracy theory No.1 - Are BR deliberately delaying in order to try to keep the away support down? Contraversial.
bristolsaint29 Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 They told me that more than likely unless you can collect from st Marys then they will send up on bus and we can collect from the memorial ground.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Is there any new yet about ticket allocations? I would probably take 3 tickets but some of us important people need to make decisions about what we are doing more than a week in advance. What on earth is the hold-up? Surely both clubs have done this sort of thing before?
bungle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 They told me that more than likely unless you can collect from st Marys then they will send up on bus and we can collect from the memorial ground. This is going to be an absolute nightmare to organise if that's what they want to do. They would have to have a dedicated area right outside the away end.
Saint_clark Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 This is going to be an absolute nightmare to organise if that's what they want to do. They would have to have a dedicated area right outside the away end. I suspect most people will be collecting from SMS, so only a couple of hundred will need to collect theirs at the memorial ground. Just don't leave it too late.
RonManager Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 I suspect most people will be collecting from SMS, so only a couple of hundred will need to collect theirs at the memorial ground. Just don't leave it too late. Yes, I would appreciate it very much if you would all collect your tickets from SMS as I may not be able to get to the ground till after 7pm.
bungle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 I suspect most people will be collecting from SMS, so only a couple of hundred will need to collect theirs at the memorial ground. Just don't leave it too late. I don't know. Don't we have a large %age of fans who don't live in Southampton?
ericofarabia Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 I don't know. Don't we have a large %age of fans who don't live in Southampton? I would say a very large % of away support seems to be from anywhere but Southampton from my experience at away games. Maybe I just go in the wrong pubs each time.:cool:
stevegrant Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Details now on the OS. On sale to STHs tomorrow, general sale on Wednesday. Purchase in person recommended but not essential.
SB Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Would I be able to ring up wednesday morning and purchase a ticket ? ( If they haven't sold out)
This Charming Man Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Would I be able to ring up wednesday morning and purchase a ticket ? ( If they haven't sold out) Well that's normally how these things work.
SB Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Well that's normally how these things work. But normally you can purchase them three weeks before the game, not three days.
The9 Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 This is going to be an absolute nightmare to organise if that's what they want to do. They would have to have a dedicated area right outside the away end. That doesn't seem too difficult, as I'm sure you know, the car park goes right down the back of the stand to where the away fans get in.
bungle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Big rush on Wednesday morning, then. Would hope we have totally sold out by Wednesday.
Paul Chuckle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Can I order over phone and ask to collect tickets at ticket office on say Wednesday????
Paul Chuckle Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Can I order over phone and ask to collect tickets at ticket office on say Wednesday???? I mean Saturday
scott_saints Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Wanna go by train and come back the same night. Any one know if it'll be possible to get to Bristol Parkway for the 22:02 train after the game?
Sour Mash Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Details now on the OS. On sale to STHs tomorrow, general sale on Wednesday. Purchase in person recommended but not essential. Anyone know the deadline for ordering over the phone and getting the tickets sent out? Guessing Monday?
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Wanna go by train and come back the same night. Any one know if it'll be possible to get to Bristol Parkway for the 22:02 train after the game? Filton/Abbey wood is more direct for trains to Southampton
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Wanna go by train and come back the same night. Any one know if it'll be possible to get to Bristol Parkway for the 22:02 train after the game? Parkway is 3 miles from the ground. Filton/Abbey Wood is 1.9 miles. Postcodes are: Ground: BS7 0BF Parkway: BS34 8PU Filon: BS34 7JW You could run it but 22:02 is probably too early.
Tractor_Saint Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Anyone local to Bristol able to give a Postal code or similar of somewhere within 10 minutes walk of the ground where I can park my (half decent) car before the game and be able to find it in the same condition as it was left ? Am I the only one that thinks having your footy team sticker in your car is asking for trouble at away games ?
scott_saints Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Filton/Abbey wood is more direct for trains to Southampton Hmmm not looking good for return trains from there.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Hmmm not looking good for return trains from there. Yes, that has surprised me. Lst trai seems to be leaving Cardiff at 21:30 & Filton at 21:09. How about via Reading?

Am I the only one that thinks having your footy team sticker in your car is asking for trouble at away games ? We parked in the Sports Centre in Dorian Rd BS7 0XW (just off main A38.) last time. About a 10 minute walk IIRC and a quick getaway after the game.
Genk Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 So do you reckon non-season ticket holders dont have much chance of getting tickets?
RonManager Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Tickets now on sale for ST holders online.

About a 10 minute walk IIRC and a quick getaway after the game. Excellent - thanks KB. Tickets ordered, now hoping that they arrive at mine before next Friday!!!
Tractor_Saint Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Tickets ordered, now hoping that they arrive at mine before next Friday!!! Fab - ordered on Friday and arrived this morning in a PO postcode (I know I know) so all ready to watch the win !
SFKA South Woodford Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 Yes, that has surprised me. Lst trai seems to be leaving Cardiff at 21:30 & Filton at 21:09. How about via Reading? I went to Bristol on a friday in October and found that the last train back with a connection to Basingstoke was around 9.45, and I almost missed that due to the cab I ordered turning up almost fifteen minutes late. So I wouldn't try and get home by train after the game. The last train to Southampton leaves Waterloo just after 1am though, so you may be able to get back via London, but it will be expensive.
benjii Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 Yes, that has surprised me. Lst trai seems to be leaving Cardiff at 21:30 & Filton at 21:09. How about via Reading? If you hurry you have time to arrange that second mortgage first.
RonManager Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 There are 13 platforms and approximately 6 benches per platform at Bristol Temple Meads. Book yours now.
