Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Bought my tickets for this today as travelling down with a Leeds fan, and it was mighty hard. Whole Kingsland has sold out, but Block 43 is open. Didn't want to take him in there, may have been a bit too much, so in the Chapel now. Think a lot of Pompey buyers linked this game in. Just saying, get in there quick!

Didn't want to take him in there, may have been a bit too much, so in the Chapel now. Think a lot of Pompey buyers linked this game in. Just saying, get in there quick! A lot of people brought Leeds Tickets so they could go to the Pompey game, so should be a good gate
Griffo Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Why is 43 open? Surely Leeds will be bringing the full 3,200 allocation?
Matthew Le God Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Why is 43 open? Surely Leeds will be bringing the full 3,200 allocation? Nope they have got 2k
Psycrow Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 The Crow's flying in for the Leeds game!!!! Tickets sitting in front of me here.
krissyboy31 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 We normally go Kingsland North, blocks 34 or 35 for this but had to get family enclosure ones last week.
Griffo Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Nope they have got 2k That's pathetic on their part then. I would fully have expected them to easily sell out 3,200. They seem to do it everywhere else in the league.
Sour Mash Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 That's pathetic on their part then. I would fully have expected them to easily sell out 3,200. They seem to do it everywhere else in the league. I heard a rumour elsewhere they had only been given the smaller allocation by us (circa 2.4k) due to them "misbehaving" a bit in the ground last time they were down. Didn't actually believe it, but looks like it could be true. Leeds would be able to sell out 3.2k no problem given the chance.
dune Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I twinned Leeds with Pompey to guarentee a seat where I wanted to sit, but I can't make the Leeds game as it'd require time off work (got a week booked off the for the JPT already so don't want to use any more holidays) and money I don't want to be spending in lieu of the fact the JPT final weekend is already costing me £200 without spending money which will double that figure. If anyone wants the ticket i'll sell it for £20 (a loss of £2 for me) because i'd rather get something for it than nothing. I've advertised it here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20671 So if anyone wants it drop me a pm and we can sort it out.
CWD Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Would love to get to this one, it should be a cracker. I'll have to take a look at how the old student loan is looking though!
Nexstar Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 That's pathetic on their part then. I would fully have expected them to easily sell out 3,200. They seem to do it everywhere else in the league. We only gave them 2,200 tickets so we had more home fans. Leeds fans had to apply to get tickets and had a lot more than 2,000 that wanted to go.
dubai_phil Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Is it true that many fans only bought tickets for the Pompey game so they were guaranteed a ticket for the Leeds one?

Nexstar Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I thought league rules were that we HAVE to give 10% to away fans? Possibly only cup games, or we're allowed to reduce it if it is on police ground.
brmbrm Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Block 3 is open - how about blocks 1 and 2? Sellout maybe. scoreline: 5 - something. Obvious. (I would say "simples" but think this should be an infraction and a 6-month ban from the forum)
pilsburydoughboy Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Bloody Johnny come latelys get a season ticket and have no hassle getting a seat.
View From The Top Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Leeds were given a smaller allocation due to the handbags last time they played at SMS. They sold out in 10 mins and it was the 55th consecutive away allocation sell out for them.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I am so mad about the Leeds game.It was one of those games i had been looking forward to since the start of the season,but now i have a wedding to go to instead and despite me thinking of lots of excuses,i cant get out of it. Boooooooo!
matthewb Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I thought league rules were that we HAVE to give 10% to away fans? I think the rules state we have to OFFER up to 10% to away fans, for league games. It is normally up to the away club if they want to take them all or not. I think The Police or local licencing authority can sometimes force the home club to offer a lower figure. I think Cleveland police have done this a few times when Middlesbrough have played Man Utd due to the Man Utd fans persistent standing. Also I think some home clubs offer the aways clubs staggered amounts of tickets depending on how many they think they will sell.ie at SMS we may offer blocks of 800, 1600, 2400 or 3200 tickets. This can be on a Sale or Return basis or pay for all up front basis.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Author Posted 4 March, 2010 (edited) I am so mad about the Leeds game.It was one of those games i had been looking forward to since the start of the season,but now i have a wedding to go to instead and despite me thinking of lots of excuses,i cant get out of it. Boooooooo! Poor excuse. Plan for you. Start spreading a rumour that the bride is playing away, wedding will be at least postponed. You heard it here first. Anyone else need any ideas? I'm listening.

stmusicdude Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 make same offer here as I have on Nsaints .. I have a ticket, & will be travelling down from sheff if anyone wants to car share. as I said have spare as well PM for details
Tractor_Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I am so mad about the Leeds game.It was one of those games i had been looking forward to since the start of the season,but now i have a wedding to go to instead and despite me thinking of lots of excuses,i cant get out of it. Boooooooo! Plastic fan - the only way you can be excused is if it's your own wedding and, even then, you need to put your foot down.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Plastic fan - the only way you can be excused is if it's your own wedding and, even then, you need to put your foot down. Ha HA. Im afraid its my eldest sons wedding and seeing im paying for most of it,i apparantly have to be there.
Tractor_Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Ha HA. Im afraid its my eldest sons wedding and seeing im paying for most of it,i apparantly have to be there. Isn't it the parents of the bride that should be paying? So, she's definitely not good enuff for your eldest son and you need to go to the match. Just think what precedent you're setting for you other son(s) by giving in and paying for his wedding.... Road to ruin I'm telling ya. You've got to go to the game and save your marriage / pension / retirement fund etc. etc.
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 we apparently asked the football league what the minimum number of tickets that we had to give Leeds and were told 2000 and that is what we have given them
dune Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 we apparently asked the football league what the minimum number of tickets that we had to give Leeds and were told 2000 and that is what we have given them I have a feeling that our clubs must have had a falling out about something then. They made more seats available for us up at Elland Road. Unless of course it's because of the crowd trouble last time they came to SMS.

Unless of course it's because of the crowd trouble last time they came to SMS. Yes - it did kick off, inside as well as out. IIRC It was the game that all but relegated them from the Championship, and they took none too kindly to the Saints fans in Blocks 1, 2, 3 who kindly pointed out that they were being relegated. Lots of stuff thrown over the netting, in both directions. Lots of Leeds fans caught not just by CCTV but by the ITV cameras on The Championship the following day.
JRM Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 still not entirely sure what the club are hoping to gain from doing this. Leeds have the best away support in this division by a mile, like when we went to Exeter all we will end up with is more of their fans in our end, so rather than the stewards having their work cut out in the away end they'll be busy all over the ground. any idea how many tickets are actually left for this game ?

I'm assuming home tickets are only on sale to those on the database? Still no doubt they'll be Leeds fans dotted around the ground.
jam Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Ha HA. Im afraid its my eldest sons wedding and seeing im paying for most of it,i apparantly have to be there. In fairness, if you're paying for most of it then should should be entitled to a few hours off if you want.
Saint_clark Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 26500 k sold so far so I'm told By who? I heard we'd sold 28,000 a week or so ago...
Tomobz Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 block 2 had tickets left last night as i tried to buy them online...
JRM Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 I'm assuming home tickets are only on sale to those on the database? Still no doubt they'll be Leeds fans dotted around the ground. nothing on the saints site about it being database only, seems to be open general sale. would let me buy as many as i want online. could be interesting, didn't Leeds have literally hundreds in the home end at Exeter?
Saints foreva Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 nothing on the saints site about it being database only, seems to be open general sale. would let me buy as many as i want online. could be interesting, didn't Leeds have literally hundreds in the home end at Exeter? And in the home ends of MK Dons.

Yeah, and don't forget the crush that happened in the away end as well.
SAR Boy Saint Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Yet again trying to break my jinx on results!! Travelling up with a mate and his lad that are both Leeds fans, but they couldn't get tickets with their lot as they'd sold out, so they're sitting with us.
JRM Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 who is going to volunteer to take a galatasaray flag in to get the atmosphere going?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Tried to get my mate a single ticket in Kingsland yesterday - no go - sold out. Only places left were Chapel or odd ones in Itchen block 4 (which I what I got in the end).

Better tell them not to wear colours - some might not take too well to that.

Danny R Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 For anyone travelling down from London: Megatrain have got some great prices for this, I bought a return yeserday for £3.
JRM Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 anyone making light of what happened in Istanbul needs their head checked. like all those leeds fans who sing about munich?

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Leeds were given the option of 3200 tickets but were told they would have to pay for them up front (as they did to us back in December). Ken Bates is a tight man so he said no, so they only got 2000 on sale or return basis.
Cabrone Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Just read that Leeds have signed [sarcasm]my favourite[/sarcasm] player Dickov till the end of the season. Another reason (if I needed another one) to kick their sorry asses when they come to SMS.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 5 March, 2010 Author Posted 5 March, 2010 For anyone travelling down from London: Megatrain have got some great prices for this, I bought a return yeserday for £3. ****, bought mine this morning. Grrrrr...
