Farnboro Saint Posted 8 February, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 8 February, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 8 February, 2010 Share 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.

brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 9 February, 2010 Share 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 ???

sandwichsaint Posted 9 February, 2010 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithd Posted 9 February, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 9 February, 2010 Share 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.

thesaint sfc Posted 9 February, 2010 Share 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!

"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.
