Colinjb Posted 9 August, 2011 Share Posted 9 August, 2011 I would expect it to be across the board of fixtures here. There are more important things to be worried about tonight then football, the safety of our families being number 1..... And if that means staying at home, we stay at home.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were attempted copycat attacks in any urban area. There has already been 'incidents' in Coventry that havn't escalated thankfully, Salford is now burning, West Bromwich is now burning..... hell, even Oxford experienced trouble. There are generally low attendances in the lower rounds of this competition anyway, now there will be two reasons for people to not go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've gone from expecting the lowest attendance ever to getting what is surely one of the highest in the world ever. Do we know how many Saints fans there were in addition to the six and a half million from Torquay? Fair play to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 9 August, 2011 Share Posted 9 August, 2011 I'd have gone had the prices been a bit more realistic. £14 + the booking fee/ticket tax, whatever want to call it. Rather save it for the 2 up coming away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 9 August, 2011 Share Posted 9 August, 2011 Makes it sound like entire cities are on fire, rather than small incidents. A news reporter compared Croydon with Dresden. Terrible fire though it was, that's a retarded comparison. I'm sure there could be minor trouble anywhere. I'm all for people keeping families safe first and foremost, but whatever happened to not letting such actions stop you doing anything? Best response would surely be no fear. Instead we all seem to have gone a bit daily mail. I think you'll find it was actually the store owner who made the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Cotterill keeps on bleating about the size of his squad every bloody week on Solent, I wouldn't be surprised if sometime soon the tickets to get into Notarf Krap have the added line: Bring your boots you might get a game!!

If so, then Cotterill's moaning is just ridiculous... Not sure they have. Several texts on Solent last night from Poopey fans were blaming Cotterill and saying he's manager, he should sign players ! Are they so thick that they dont realise the club still dont have a pot to **** in and cannot afford players. Its hardly Cotterill's fault. Having said that I love to listen to him bleating on Solent most weeks on my way home from St Marys....you can almost hear the violins starting up in the background everytime he comes on, hilarious !

She had a couple of texts to say about the rumours so stayed at home with them. Im pretty sure my dad would of not gone to the match with them just in case the rumours were true. This game would of had low numbers anyway but the rumours would of defo made decissions for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted 10 August, 2011 Share Posted 10 August, 2011 I know to some it may seem trivial, but over the last few seasons, season ticket holders were unable to obtain their own seat, Saints for doing this for the early round(s), appear to be making these games seem less important. Then this comes accross to some that as the games are less imprtant why bother. Add into the cost of £14 for a match against an unfashionable team, then what do they expect. Perhaps the football league should make this first round part of the 'friendlies' set of games, ie. play them before the first games proper in the league. Then you might get more people paying to be able to see a competitive game before the season actually kicks off, not 3 days after you have probably seen a competitve game, to wet your appetite for football.
