MadDogMatt Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 Some mighty impressive regulars on this post, my hats off to you! I am exciled in East London, 2 miles from Upton Park and am a season ticket holder in the Northam with my son who lives in Romsey. I smell a backs to the wall defence tomorrow and a Ricky dead ball special to win in on 89 minute COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TijuanaTim Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 Tim, thought by your earlier posts you were coming back :confused: This week has been agonising for me. Several wonderful people on here offered to try and help and you have no idea how much I appreciate that. Then I eventually heard back from the club, so that (maybe) I could do this correctly and legitimately so not upsetting any of my fellow Saints fans....each day I was having to put business/business schedule on hold and each day flights were becoming rarer and waaay more expensive. Eventually, I heard back from the club on Thursday saying 'I could call in some number and go on hold, they have a few tickets left'...FFS, too little - too late. I even had people (like LV Saint) using his ability to secure the cheapest flights. Wanna hear something sick? It will be easier for me to get a ticket from the skates for a replay, they have a system in place for fans attending games from far away!!

Wiltshire Saint Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 My brother is coming over from America to watch the game. He got his ticket last week. Not sure total miles, but it is an effort and a half. Luckily he got some cheap flights so the whole thing is a bit of a bargain. Not bad going for someone who hasn't been to a game this season!

TijuanaTim Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Wish you had emailed fella, Would have been more than happy to get you a ticket, after you turning up in Santa Monica. Mate, that was a great night in Santa Monica!! I should have called you. However there was a lot of negative on here about me not deserving a ticket, so that made me determined to do it all above board so that as few Saints fans as possible would have their noses put out of joint...ran out of time basically. I will have no such 'ethical' issue with the JPT as we have never had 35,000 + ever at any game. So to say there are 35,000 more deserving just would not be true.

Tim you should ignore half the fools on here , you should have got a ticket just for all the good work you did with big Ron, anyway make sure you get a ticket for the JPT and if you struggle pm me and you can have one of mine from one of my season tickets ( my daughter is to young for a day out at wembley)all the best .

A few spoilt brats moaned - that's all. Those of us who follow the forum appreciate what you've done for Big Ron. I'm especially disapointed in a certain D Luker for not contacting you given that i'd pm'd him regarding your predicament. Anyways just about to set off. Up the Saints.

I 8 Skates Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Just flown in from Munich where I moved to only a month ago with wife and kid. Could not miss this match for anything. Strange thing is that the German press and also Sky Deutschland has articles about the match today!! As soon as the draw was made I had my German colleagues coming into the office and commenting on the match!! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep_is_blue Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 I'm not attending today's match, but I will be flying over from Stockholm to the Leeds United match on the 13/03. When you consider that I have flown from Australia to study in Sweden (Read: Be able to attend a Southampton match), I think I give the title a fair shake.

SinCity555 Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 My m8's just gone back from New Zealand for a holiday, but he's going to the game...So i guess you could say that a 24 hour journey lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Really? Takes me 3 and a half hours each way. Which way do you go? Usually takes me that as well. I usually hit the A34/43 way but got held up in the traffic in Southampton for well over an hour on the way out, decided to do the more direct route and ended up diverted off the M25 AND the A1. Didn't get home until gone four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redondo Saint Posted 15 February, 2010 Share Posted 15 February, 2010 I got back yesterday after watching the game in a pub in West End!!! Approx 11,000 miles so I must be the winner!!

Breeny Posted 16 February, 2010 Share Posted 16 February, 2010 I know someone who is over from Australia he also saw the Dons game on Tuesday. Yes that's me Breeny . I have just got back to Perth Western Australia....and its bloody hot here after the cold weather there ! Really enjoyed both games but gutted at the 4-1 scoreline which did not do us justice. Would have loved to get back for Wembley as I have not seen Saints play at Wembley since the 76 final.......but time and $$$ !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
