Absolutely gutted as having just spoken to TO they claim never to have received our application by fax. Had been to 9 away games this season so should have been near the front of the queue. If anyone has 2 tickets they are willing to sell for decent money please let me know asap.

 

I have. One of my oppos has a pair that he can't use

 

My email is terraceclassics@gmail.com

 

Would want paypal, bank transfer or cash by Special Delivery as I'll have to give him the ££ upfront for them.

How much were Adult tickets? I have had money debited from 'SOUTHAMPTON FC' but that was about a week ago. I havn't had anything in the post as of yet but am desperately hoping it's for Bompey tickets! Fingers crossed.

 

£19 each i think

Wow - what a mong. I'm glad I don't live with an idiot like that.

 

Do people think Bournemouth will be a bubble game and we will spend the whole day getting frog marched around by the police?

 

I reckon so, then put straight back on the train after the game.

Parents just phoned me up and said if I can get hold of a ticket then they will pay for me to get down to the game travel wise. I said it was hugely unlikely but I'll try. Would love a PM from one of you lot if you have a spare in any part of the ground. The rents' said they'd even fly me down! Mental.

 

Help a desperate, stranded Saints fan! :)

I believe we've been allocated The Moon in the Square in the town centre (a Wetherspoons). Got security on the door from 9am, and apparantly the only people they're letting in are Saints fans and well known regulars. About a mile from the train station, but in the opposite direction to Dean Court.

Really? doesn't make a lot of sense, what about then getting to the ground? Strange, in the centre of all the Saturday shoppers too.

I think / hope that this will be just like any other away game ... Don't see the need for an allocated pub, police escort etc.

No Chance look at Millwall last season and Bristol Rovers this.....Went on a pub at Bristol and was rounded up and frog marched to the game/ground

Didn't happen to me at Bristol Rovers this season or any of the four times i've been. Went on the train for all of them. An police operation like the one they had for us at Milwall last season would be a massive waste of money.

 

Where Bournemouth frog marched around at our two home games?

 

I think if they where in any way worried about either fixture they would just stick it on boxing day and it would be far easier to police as there are obviously no trains.

Yes Bournemouth fans were escorted to and from the station and given a designated pub, on both occasions.

Yes sure got caught up in the away fans that day and had to sneak away from them up St Marys Street. Andy is being very naive (Bournemouth police on overtime) for sure

All this has confirmed the point of my original thread, in that Bournemouth have really screwed up the ticket arrangements for this game, and in doing so, compounded their small club mentality. We could have sold 3x our allocation easily, and they could have accomodated 3,360 saints fans by giving us the normal full allocation and the temporary stand end, which by the way was virtually empty on saturday v Oldham. (Attendance 7,075 out of 12,060 capacity). Instead, there will be hundreds of Saints fans (its so close, try the off chance, go down for a few pints, enjoy the crack) seeing if they can get a ticket from the people at that end who are real JCLs; there will be segregation issues, and no doubt fun and games outside before, if not after. Reap what you sow.

How have they screwed up? It's a sell-out

I guess what he maybe saying is - the tickets went on sale in October and it's only just sold-out a week or so ago (4 months to sell 10k home tickets for their "biggest game of the season"). And as they've given us a paltry allocation (half as many as they gave Brighton) then potentially a lot of ticketless Saints fans may make the trip in hope that their JCLs may cash in. It's hardly proved the hottest-ticket-in-town for many Boscombe residents.

 

I'm aware of a number going down willing to pay above face-value to get in. If not an afternoon down the beach and an icecream. :p

What a fantastic idea! No bad can come of this.

 

To be fair it did at Fratton (the first game there after they were promoted), I didn't have a ticket and just bundled my way through and stood on the stairs between blocks. Helped being 30 minutes late and with 500 unhappy punters though....

Prepare for 90 minutes of scummer songs. Bompey fans were singing "bring on the scummers" on Saturday. Allocating the moon in the square is crazy. It is in the opposite direction to the ground, from the train and coach station. It would also involve the old bill escorting supporters through town, and then a really long police escort from the pub to the ground. I wouldn't bother. It would take an hour to walk from the pub going at the police pace. Instead get escorted to the ground, then walk over the park into boscombe. There you will find plenty of pubs and eateries.

Wasn't there going to be buses laid on for us though?

I does seem a bit odd they'd try and keep Saints fans in a town centre pub mixing with shoppers and miles from the ground. But if true and they really are laying on buses just watch out in case the OB are pulling that old fartton trick by doing everything to delay fans getting to the ground before kick-off. We had it on the trains down there twice and didn't get in til near halftime.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it'd take 'longer than expected' to get all the fans on the buses and away and then hit loads of traffic.

 

A pub best avoided IMO.
