I acknowledge I should not have left it so late . However if anybody has 1 spare ticket or is willing to swap 3 tickets (dont mind where in the ground) for my 2 tickets in the Northam + £50 cash .

Posted

My brother needs a ticket, anyone got a spare one drop me a PM. Preferably in the Northam but anywhere will do.

He hasn't "left it too late", he was due to steward at Bournemouth last game of the season but can get it off now.

I'm stuck in the family area because I didn't know it was the family area, and I don't care one iota - just to be there to celebrate will be amazing.

Snap! I though the family area was in the Chapel. Oops. Hope parents wont mind if the odd four-letter word slips out!

Me too! Twas sure it was still in the Chapel. Oh well.

Is it likely that it will be on tv, or are the championship last games on the same day?

 

Edit : scrub that - just remembered it's next sat so no chance of being on tv.... A live stream maybe?

League One games are all at 3pm so won't be on Sky.

 

Championship games are all starting at 12:45pm.

FFS, so I can't go because all the glory hunters are back?! Really need to get 2 tickets to this one, anyone know any going spare? Is it really sold out? Can't get through on phone til Monday now and can't book online.

 

What about the away end? They can't be bringing many, did they sell out their allocation?

 

Bit harsh. It was prob a good idea to book this game in advance as it's always looked like going to the last day.

I will ensure he throws his tuttie fruities at you and lanches his fruit shoot down your back.

See ya Saturday.

It's not harsh, I know I should have booked already but been away, thought today or Monday would be fine. I'm not annoyed people want to go, I'm annoyed that I've sat with 10000 empty seats around me most times I've gone. I'm sure it's not people on here, but we have about 20000 fans that only want to come to special occasions!

 

Against Hartlepool on Monday I noticed quite a few young ladies at the game who didn't seem to have much interest in the game. I haven't seen them around the Kingsland before, and I ALWAYS eye up the crumpet. :-)

 

Success breeds support. We sold out in the Premiership most games, and yet attract average crowds of around 20,000 now. Next season, if we go up, I expect we'll sell out a few more games. So buy early, there will always be people who only come when we successful - glory hunters are why Man Utd have so many fans all over the world.

 

Selling out is good for the clubs' finances. I wish I could buy a season ticket but with the shift work I do, it's not worth my while, so I always make sure I buy my tickets early for the games I can get to.

Posted

I'm just going to have to tell my little girl we can't go to the game as the Family area is full of others, (more deserving) supporters.

 

I was to have been working but have oved contracts so my weekend is now free.

 

******.

Cant believe its sold out, what an anti climax getting back from brentford today to find this out. Sure they'll be a long queue but if anyone has a ticket i would bite your arm off for it. My numbers 07837989715

I am actually a little concerned that the game has sold out so early. I hope people are not just assuming that it will be a party. I rather suspect we will be held to a draw on Monday so we will still need to win against Walsall. The last thing we need is an expectant crowd getting impatient. We have seen it before with full houses. The whole crowd need to get behind the team and support them.

 

This is a slightly pessimistic view I know but this is too important for the glory hunters to come with unrealsitic expectations of a goal feast.

A draw won't do Plymouth any good, they'll have to go for bust.I'd say that there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of Monday's game ending in a draw.

I've just had a look at the Walsall Forum and as of 5pm today they've sold 240 tickets and theres a thread on their forum saying Saints are reducing their allocation.They expect to bring around 1700.

Actually, when I booked my tickets, plenty of time in advance of the game, I could've sat in quite a few places. My usual choice of the Kingsland was sold out, so I chose the Kingsland/Chapel corner. Getting the family stand was, as I've stated, a complete accident as I thought it was still located in the Chapel.

 

More deserving? Perhaps not, but with the shift work I do, only getting to 12 games this season is as good as I can do. Sorry.

Tickets have been on sale for ages. If you're not organised and don't have the brains to know this game would sell out that's your fault.

Posted (edited)

This game has been on sale for months, it is the last home game of the season which are always well attended! It has also coincided with the possibility of Saints being promoted. Why is it surprising people that it has sold out?

 

Last season's final home game when we had nothing to play for sold 25,289 even though it was a League One dead rubber match. This season we are on the verge of promotion, so it was bound to sell quickly.

I'm just amazed someone without a season ticket has had the nerve to call other fans glory hunters, whatever next. I assume if you can't get a ticket Adrian, you'll stand outside the ground next Saturday and wave your previous match tickets at people ;) :lol:

Apparently sold their original batch of 500 and expect a second allocation of 1200 to be available from Tuesday.

Well that's done it. I'm off to the bookies as this is now guaranteed to be a draw, I actually think it will be as both teams will go for it and cancel each other out.. I should add I'm almost always wrong!

Posted

I expect most of the "glory hunters" are fans like myself that can't get to home games often for one reason or another, but do go now and again. A lot of these "glory hunters" probably live a fair distance from St Marys and do a lot of away games.

 

The Wallsall game is a big game so it's bound to attract all the occasional fans in one go, but they're not "glory hunters" - they are Saints fans. If they were "glory hunters" they'd support Man Utd.

Posted

Well if the Wallsall game turns out to be the reason we are promoted,or the previous Plymouth game,then hopefully those fans attending the last game who havent gone much this season,will get the bug again and attendances will start to grow again.

This is just the sort of thing that advocates us having a 80,000 seat stadium. I've always said that.

 

We should have tried to get the Olympic stadium (with running track)

pompey's 100,000 floating harbour super stadium should almost be finished by now? Once they go under totally, maybe we could float that around the Solent.

I am also in the Family section on Saturday. However, I was there for the P*mpey FA Cup game last season and there were more than a few curses echoing round so I wouldn't worry too much about being polite!

Posted
Has this actually been confirmed by the club??

 

Think they may still be waiting to see how many Walsall shift before confirming it's sold-out.

Corky, Hasper and I have season tickets in the Chapel with our kids. The language is as blue as elsewhere in the ground.

You've obviously not been at the top of the Kingsland North with all the nawty boys recently then ;)

By definition, doesn't that make you even worse than a glory hunter ?

Spot on.....FFS how long has this game been on sale for.....One off the benefits to owning a Southampton Football club season ticket........ Anyway you could always tune in to Solent

The Walsall game is the only home game that I can't go to this season. I'm giving my season ticket to my brother. I have something on to do with my visa application that needs to be done all day on saturday. I always seem to miss out on this celebration games. I missed out on the Survival game against Sheffield United as a broke both legs in a car crash two days before. I've had my fair share of fun for the season and it will be my brothers fifth game of the season so i'm more than happy to let him use it. I just hope that it all but over after a good win against plymouth
