Farnboro Saint Posted 8 February, 2010 Posted 8 February, 2010 If anyone really cared about our club, they would do anything, sacrifice anything, travel any distance to make this game. I could not bear the thought of watching Saints V Pomey on ITV in a crappy boozer or at home. These games don't come around too often and it might be the last, anyone whinging about £50, you should be ashamed. I think the honest truth is, half of you don't want to go and see Saint play Walsall, as it's not quite as glamourous. I'm surprised and a little bit disappointed we haven't sold out by now, but as long as we do on the day, that is what matters. Also, if the person next to you isn't singing, kick them until they do. We have to outsing the fishy few. Well said Sir. I feel the same!
sotonjoe Posted 8 February, 2010 Posted 8 February, 2010 yeh, stop all the moaning. The tickets are hardly difficult to get hold of. If you deserve one, you will get one.
eelpie Posted 8 February, 2010 Posted 8 February, 2010 I really cant understand why we havent sold out yet, we had 30K for Exeter boxing day and we cant get that number for Pom**y.. Are P*mpey really that unatrractive a fixture.. There are a lot of genuine supporters who for one reason or another have not been able to buy linked tickets, ie can't afford till pay day, can't afford two games at this time or have work commitments at the linked games, etc, so expect a rush on the 10th.
pittdogg Posted 8 February, 2010 Posted 8 February, 2010 i have 2 kids to look after, rent gas etc to pay and i have a pompey ticket,my kids dont go without anything(within reason) and i will allways put them 1st, i dont earn great money but your all prepaird to pay £30 for a pompey ticket, im sorry if you can find £30 im sure you could muster up another £20 its hardly a life changing sum of money, i have stoped smoking for this week to get my ticket because i the misses said i was expecting you to spend around £30 on a ticket so i said if i stop smoking this week i will save the extra ticket money,kids still fed clothed and happy,like i say an extra £20 is by no means a life changing sum of money. and to everyone saying i cant make another game, is it by chance the only saturday you can go to st marys magicly seems to fall on the same day we play pompey, sorry about the rant and to clarify im not aming this at everyone, there are alot of people with genuine reasons see you all tomorrow COYR

UncleRay Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 A lot of letters paints a picture. £20 will pay for your kids nicotine patches whilst you're saving for your ticket. A new low Nineteen. No need and a sadly misguided attempt at sanctimonious humour .......why do you bother? Please do us a favour and keep thoughts like this in your addled brain. Do not inflict them on the forum. Thanks.
thesaint sfc Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I'm trying to get some people together to go on Saturday but struggling big time! Might have to attend on my own Don't really fancy a game like this on my larry! Hmmmm!
Saint Luke Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Supposedly a fare few tickets left as of 2 minutes ago.
JustMike Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 A lot of letters paints a picture. £20 will pay for your kids nicotine patches whilst you're saving for your ticket. :smt086 Low(e) even for you
Armitage Shanks Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I'm trying to get some people together to go on Saturday but struggling big time! Might have to attend on my own Don't really fancy a game like this on my larry! Hmmmm! Go on your own man - I am. We are all one big collective group of mates on Saturday against the blue few.
Chez Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I'm trying to get some people together to go on Saturday but struggling big time! Might have to attend on my own Don't really fancy a game like this on my larry! Hmmmm! Get to the game lad. This is what football is all about. A feisty local derby and a chance to get one over on them down the road. Sod the rest, if they don't fancy it its their loss. If you've not been before let me tell you the atmosphere is as good as any derby.
saints_is_the_south Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Will definatly sell out after it goes on un linked general sale tomorrow. Imagine with the segregation that the attendance will be about 31k
Sour Mash Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 26,000 sold - solent this morning If that's true, then it is rather s***te, we've got to sell out surely?
northam soul Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 26,000 sold - solent this morning These sold figures seem to go up and down like a yo yo. Apparrently there were 6,000 left on saturday then 4-5,000 yesterday now we are back up to 6,000 again. In know there will be a lot of people buyin tickets tomorrow but i do not belive this game will sell out now.
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Yep, pompey is not the draw that they think they are, looking on the face of it you can see that a lot of Saints fans dont believe that Pompey are going to be around after wednesday, the MK Dons game has sold more tickets, what does that say about Pompey ???
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 It will sell out tomorrow, don't worry yourselves.
sandwichsaint Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I've just bought this morning one for my lad who is coming down from L'boro uni for the game .... they were down to singles behind the goal in the Chapel and bits and pieces in the Itchen/Chapel corner. From what I could make out there is zip available in Northam/Kingsland/Itchen ... Looks like it could sell out today / this evening?
jawillwill Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Yep, pompey is not the draw that they think they are, looking on the face of it you can see that a lot of Saints fans dont believe that Pompey are going to be around after wednesday, the MK Dons game has sold more tickets, what does that say about Pompey ??? Any one not buying tickets because they "don't think Pompey will be around after Wednesday" is quite frankly an idiot.
Saint_Ash Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Haha! I agree Wee Willy Winky! Teflon Pompey will be fine, they'll somehow not go into administration and escape a points deduction.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Any one not buying tickets because they "don't think Pompey will be around after Wednesday" is quite frankly an idiot. Particularly as if they did goes out of business and the match didn't happen we'd all get refunds.
keithd Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Just got two tickets, remarkably easy. I even phoned twice as the first time the person who's info they had was wrong so had to call back, got through first time both times. Lady said they are virtually gone now, both tonight and Saturday. If either aren't sold out it'll be single seats, no more than 70 odd under capacity i'd say
thesaint sfc Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Get to the game lad. This is what football is all about. A feisty local derby and a chance to get one over on them down the road. Sod the rest, if they don't fancy it its their loss. If you've not been before let me tell you the atmosphere is as good as any derby. I've been many, many times on my own. I used to bring non saints supporters quite easily, but then we used to get thrashed. Now they won't believe me that we're actually pretty good now I'll be there
paris Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I like going on my own ,i wish i was going on Sat still i'll be over end of Feb for this seasons first match....
Window Cleaner Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Doubt very much if there will be much trouble... British disease, 'Fear of crime is much greater than the actual incidence of crime' If you dont go to 'wrong' pubs etc. you are very unlikely to experience any trouble. Just a few stupid kids trying to act big who will run at the first sign of anyone remotely threatening. British disease sponsored by the Government. They want you to be afraid,doesn't matter of what, they can control you more easily if the vast majority of the population live in fear, of mad cow disease, pirates,swine flu,unemployment,biscuit shortage at Tesco, whatever, let's them do what they want.As Tony Blair said at the time of the Iraq invasion doing nothing is not an option..so the have to manufacture an excuse,sorry, reason to do something.

There's a biscuit shortage at Tesco ? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I'm off !
darren1 Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Just spoke to ticket the office as stressing cos I cant get a ticket until tomorrow. They said there were still over 1000 left and having a quiet day today so should not sell out today at least

thesaint sfc Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 When I phoned there were lots of free seats in the Chapel and one left in the itchen. Everywhere else is sold out. I haven't spoken to the ticket office for a long time, but they really were 10/10. The girl I spoke to was lovely and had all the time in the world. She even let me put her on hold whilst I confirmed which block my uncle was sitting in! I'm also booked for the Itchen corner for the Leeds game COYR
pittdogg Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 A lot of letters paints a picture. £20 will pay for your kids nicotine patches whilst you're saving for your ticket. What a d##k!!!
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 It will sell out tomorrow, don't worry yourselves. My thoughts exactly.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Time to relax, watch the game tonight and pick your Skate ticket up tomorrow then they go unlinked general sale tomorrow so I wud buy today as they will be gone by 10am tomorrow IMO.
Norm Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Just got my two tickets (Senior and U12). First time I've ever booked tickets online (usually get mine mid week at TO). I can't believe how easy it was! Spoke with Ian, really nice and helpful, and my TKTS are in the post! Young H and I will be there on Sat and the 27th!
Big Ron fan Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 When I picked up my tickets at 11 am this morning I was told there were 3,900 left for Pompey that they expect will be sold tomorrow and 390 (!) left for tonight, which they expect to go before kick-off. Can't wait!

"Folk Devils and Moral Panics", a study/book by Stanley Cohen looks into this, and its pretty interesting (well, relatively interesting at least) and a little bit disconcerting to realise how much of our normal day to day lives can be affected by the government / media.

Yes, very true - you sir, are a prize buffoon NC, and your response is not necessary - your bourgeois attitude only confirms what i already thought about you.
Jimmy_D Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I've got my ticket. I'd imagine a fair few people are waiting to see if Pompey will even exist come Saturday though.
Nexstar Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I've got my ticket. I'd imagine a fair few people are waiting to see if Pompey will even exist come Saturday though. Nobody will do that, if the game doesn't go ahead you will get your money back.
under the west stand Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Any idea what time tomorrow it's possible to buy online?
Justin C Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Any idea what time tomorrow it's possible to buy online? I don't think you can buy online. Its just the phone and at the office.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 I'd imagine a fair few people are waiting to see if Pompey will even exist come Saturday though. Pointless doing that. May as well just buy a ticket. If the game doesn't go ahead you will get a refund.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 9 February, 2010 Posted 9 February, 2010 Pointless doing that. May as well just buy a ticket. If the game doesn't go ahead you will get a refund. That was exactly my attitude. Either a refund or probably the ticket will be valid for the next round (if it was a home tie).
