chocco boxo Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Wise, stupid or should one be hopeful of getting a ticket for Dean Courts first ever sell out?
Deppo Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 8 going from this end for the crack. It's Bournemouth, not Brighton.
southern comfort Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Wise, stupid or should one be hopeful of getting a ticket for Dean Courts first ever sell out? It's not the first ever sell out.
GenevaSaint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 (edited) Wise, stupid or should one be hopeful of getting a ticket for Dean Courts first ever sell out? 5 - 10 going for the craic (ticketless) Edited 11 March, 2011 by GenevaSaint
david in sweden Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Wise, stupid or should one be hopeful of getting a ticket for Dean Courts first ever sell out? Good luck, thogh think you might try prayer first ! Sounds like we could send 4-5000 fans ourselves (if they could get tickets) and their ground is one of the smaller ones in L1. sure to be capacity gate.
Sour Mash Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Good luck, thogh think you might try prayer first ! Sounds like we could send 4-5000 fans ourselves (if they could get tickets) and their ground is one of the smaller ones in L1. sure to be capacity gate. We could comfortably sell 7/8k for tomorrow. I know loads going down without tickets, either in the hope of having a bit of luck and picking up a spare or just going for a day out on the beer. Bit unfair that pretty much any Bournemouth fan could get a ticket for the games at St Marys, when we get such a relaticely small allocation in comparison to our home crowds as well.
The Godfather Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Almost reminds me of the good old days of travelling to sold out games without a ticket and still getting in but not much hope these days though.
hypochondriac Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 and no friends I live in Bournemouth so I shall be attending the local with friends.

We gave them 10%, they've given us 10%. Don't really think that's unfair at all.
Sour Mash Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 We gave them 10%, they've given us 10%. Don't really think that's unfair at all. "Unfair" is perhaps the wrong word. But as a proportion of their average home crowds, they had vastly easier access to tickets and level of support at St mary's then we are allowed at Dean Court. Them getting 3k+ at ours is the equivalent of us getting 15k at theirs.

jawillwill Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 I can see it kicking off tomorrow ! So you've got a ticket then? I bet there'll be a few throw ins too.
GenevaSaint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 So you've got a ticket then? I bet there'll be a few throw ins too. Possibly a corner or two. LOL.
Hatch Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Going to be like Leeds on that Bank Holiday a few years back. Not that I will be there of to see it, of course..
haddock22 Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 ya going with no ticket just hope the pubs mentioned have the radio/game on speakers as suggested
fish fingers Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 it is totally fair. Their fans should get priority as the home crowd with huge demand. Shame it took 5 months for this huge demand to buy their tickets.
100%Red&White Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Going to be like Leeds on that Bank Holiday a few years back... Bet there wasn't so much CCTV back then though. Or rattley fences.
Son of Bob Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Going to be like Leeds on that Bank Holiday a few years back. Not that I will be there of to see it, of course.. I got stuck bang in the middle of the rampaging Leeds fans that day. That was fun!
LGTL Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 What time is everyone (with or without tickets) heading down tomorrow then? We are looking at about 11 from Central
hypochondriac Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Shame it took 5 months for this huge demand to buy their tickets. Irrelevant. They filled it so it is fair. If half the ground were empty then you would have a point.
Sour Mash Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 it is totally fair. Their fans should get priority as the home crowd with huge demand. I give up.
hypochondriac Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 I give up. You don't take average home crowds into account. As the home side it is totally their priority about tickets.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Not exactly unfair but annoying that Brighton got given so many more tickets than us.
hypochondriac Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Not exactly unfair but annoying that Brighton got given so many more tickets than us. When you put it like that then yes it is. I can see why they did it though, the chairman is hardly likely to be charitable towards us. He is a nasty piece of work.
Saint-scooby Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Me and about 276 mates are all going down with no tickets, was told there is a big screen in the car park, beer tents, fast food outlets and those plastic toilet things that wobble in the wind, and when you flush them you can see all the wee and poo in that blue water. I do hope this is true xx
Toadhall Saint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 We gave them 10%, they've given us 10%. Don't really think that's unfair at all. How many tickets did they give Brighton?
OWTS Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 They are gave us more % wise than we gave them, how can anyone moan about that? It's as if Saints fans are saying we are more worthy to see the match than Bournemouth fans, and some on here wonder why they call us a load of arrogant fools.

No, it's berks like you that can't be bothered to read and understand the point that make us look like "fools".
GenevaSaint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 How many tickets did they give Brighton? 2500, that wasn't their cup final though ;-)
Doctoroncall Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 it is totally fair. Their fans should get priority as the home crowd with huge demand. I agree, however,it will be interesting to see how many of the 'home' support are actually Saints fans since they have been on sale to the home fans for so long. I also believe the Saints allocation was sold out first which shows you that even though not a derby in the sense of Saints vs Skates, the locality and promotion push would draw more fans to it and you would have thought it would be better to up the Saints allocation than risk the mixing of fans.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 I just hope that all Saints fans behave themselves. The press are going to have a field day at our expense if there's any trouble. No matter what the circumstances are, painting us as the bad guys will make a better story.
Barry the Badger Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 How many tickets did they give Brighton? It's not the point, I know where you're coming from but I just don't think it's 'unfair' or whatever. They are required to offer us 10%. They've offered us 10% because they felt it would be a sell out anyway. Why would they want more Saints fans there than neccesary. By the same token, the game at St Mary's wasn't a sell out but we weren't rushing to give them more tickets, thats our call and I certainly wouldn't have expected us to give them an advantage by doing so.
Raging Bull Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Going to be like Leeds on that Bank Holiday a few years back. Not that I will be there of to see it, of course.. Idont remember that one, can you refresh my memory!!
Gemmel Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Idont remember that one, can you refresh my memory!!
richardc Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Going to be like Leeds on that Bank Holiday a few years back. Not that I will be there of to see it, of course.. I was there with a leeds supporting mate of mine - walked into the carpark to see a massive line of mounted police then just stood on the bank watching the leeds fans charge the police, get hit a few times and then run back - nutters

And I do not disagree with you - its just seems to be double standards on their part. You either offer all Clubs the same or you don't they obviously don't ;-) but surely they gave Brighton an advantage by giving them what more than 25%?
FarehamRed Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Seriously tempted to go without a ticket tomorrow. Probably the biggest game I've missed in 15 years or so. As a top of the table clash, this game is a big game.
Dan Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 it is totally fair. Their fans should get priority as the home crowd with huge demand. Brighton and any other club that wants it can have over 2000 tickets? But thats fair is it...
Dan Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Always worth the jib tomorrow, give the guy on the turnstiles £20 and you never know. Ive seen it happen before.
haddock22 Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 just called inferno.. they're not going to have the radio on loud speakers but rugby will be on :/
Pokerchampion Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Anyone got a ticket for sale thats not needed let me know please .
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 just called inferno.. they're not going to have the radio on loud speakers but rugby will be on :/ Surely someone has a radio they can take!
Chez Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 I was there with a leeds supporting mate of mine - walked into the carpark to see a massive line of mounted police then just stood on the bank watching the leeds fans charge the police, get hit a few times and then run back - nutters ...pretty much the whole of Leeds came down to celebrate the winning of Division 2. Thank god for Carl Shutt and Wilkingson's handling of him (what manager before of after has ever left a guy on bench with the intention of bringing him on after 5 minutes just so he doesn't crack under the huge prematch pressure?) or it might still be going off down there.
hamster Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Leeds BH match. I was trying to do my delivery of steaks to pubs in and around Bournemouth-FAIL. They were literally all over the town, sleeping on the beack, bus shelters, you name it. Then when I as half way through they stirred and I had to give up as the whole place became a pedestrian precinct for Neanderthal Yorkshireman up for a 'laff'. Still got my overtime though.
