Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 No idea, but I'm just about to buy 3... So it's 3+...
thegaffer Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I would think a big crowd tomorrow. We are playing terrific football. The lads deserve a big turnout after beating Ipswich
ant Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Would put a guess in at 27-28k. By rights it should be a bumper crowd, yes.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 The JCL's are back. I know this because the hand towels in the gents have run out before the end of half-time. I would reckon on 25-26k tomorrow. Millwall will be bringing a big crowd.
Turkish Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 if we are serious about getting 45k crowds in the premier league, as we are top and unbeaten we should be looking at a sell out with 8k minimum locked outside.
toofarnorth Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I would be there but i'm sure as with many others i'm going on holiday. For that reason I think 25k would be amazing.
oldsarum Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I'll be surprised if we get more than 22-23k , Millwall given 1900 tickets and haven't sold them yet according to their website
This Charming Man Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Would put a guess in at 27-28k. By rights it should be a bumper crowd, yes. I'd like to think so but I reckon it will still only be around 24k or so. If we were aiming for a bumper crowd, there would've been things on the OS by now urging people to hurry up and get their tickets in advance as it's selling well. Imagine 'wall will bring 2k or so as well.
70's Mike Posted 19 August, 2011 Author Posted 19 August, 2011 will tickets be sold to walk ups or is it data base only, due to opposition
JRM Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I'll be surprised if we get more than 22-23k , Millwall given 1900 tickets and haven't sold them yet according to their website Someone mentioned on Millwall forum they had sold 1500 so far, but sort of club they are would imagine plenty will just pay on the day, 2000 Millwall I reckon and crowd of 25k
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Someone mentioned on Millwall forum they had sold 1500 so far, but sort of club they are would imagine plenty will just pay on the day, 2000 Millwall I reckon and crowd of 25k Millwall will bring about 2000 maybe a few more. I'm hopeing for 28K - great start to the season, great football to boot (no lucky wins so far). The only fly in the ointment is that its Millwall which might put a few of the fence sitters off.
Prince Jazzbo Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 The JCL's are back. I know this because the hand towels in the gents have run out before the end of half-time. Another measure of the JCL factor is the numbers on the Hythe Ferry. Up to 2005 it used to be packed on matchdays with queues right bacn down the pier. In recent years, we could stroll down and walk straight on. Towards the end of last season it was getting full again, and there were faces I hadnt seen in years.

Millwall is one of the safest teams to play these days, home and away.
The Kraken Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 (edited) Millwall is one of the safest teams to play these days, home and away. That is true now, but there is still a stigma attached which I also believe may put some people off. I think it'll be less than 25K. Edited 19 August, 2011 by The Kraken
70's Mike Posted 19 August, 2011 Author Posted 19 August, 2011 Millwall is one of the safest teams to play these days, home and away. Not sure if i believe that
Gemmel Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I always remember playing Millwall on a cold winters night at The Dell. As it was so cold, they did what any normal football fan would do...... They started fires on the terraces
The Kraken Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Not sure if i believe that At The Den it is aboslutely true; there is a huge amount of policing and if you use the tube the fencing arrangements and police barrier mean that you are kept completely away from the home fans all the way to the away (enclosed) turnstiles. Same treatment for the way out and you're pretty much escorted on to the tube, you can go the whole game, before and after without brushing shoulders with one home fan. For our home games the police are on top of their travelling support with escorts from the station etc. You can expect to see a vastly increased police presence throughout the city tomorrow.
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Millwall is one of the safest teams to play these days, home and away. Oh really? Not from what I saw a couple of seasons ago. But things may have changed since then I suppose.
Thedelldays Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I went to millwall when we beat them 2-0 at theirs...theo scored. it as hillarious, talk about chav-tastic.....some bird in a pink track suit was one of the highlights
dune Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I went to millwall when we beat them 2-0 at theirs...theo scored. it as hillarious, talk about chav-tastic.....some bird in a pink track suit was one of the highlights Did you nail her?
This Charming Man Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Not sure if i believe that They're so well policed and have so many OB follow them around, it's untrue. If you go to their place, you won't see a 'wall fan until you're inside the ground.
keithd Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Im buying 5 tomorrow morning. There was a poster above who is getting 3. This is post #20 and i'd say each of the 18 others is going with at least one mate so there's going to be 44

This is post #20 and i'd say each of the 18 others is going with at least one mate so there's going to be 44 I'm not going as apparently last time Millwall played down here, one of their fans ate a baby. So make that 43.

I was surprised to see mounted police at the Leeds game, dont think i've ever seen that for a game other than Pompey.
Thedelldays Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Did you nail her? wouldnt have touched her with yours
70's Mike Posted 19 August, 2011 Author Posted 19 August, 2011 What i meant was you still could not go in a pub on the Old Kent Road on an away game, you are only safe because of the above average police presence and other measures, it does not mean their boys have become choirboys
Gemmel Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I.it as hillarious, talk about chav-tastic.....some bird in a pink track suit was one of the highlights Bottom right hand corner...... she did get a little upset didn't she. The funny thing was the two lads that were next to her dishing out the slit throat actions, happened to be on our train on the way home.... They were from Southampton, but millwall fans. We took the kids with us and one got a bit upset by their gesturing. On the way home they came running back down the train, saying the same guys were on it. We didn't believe it until we got off and saw them, I took the kids over the bridge at the station, whilst a couple of lads "had a word with them" :) ......by the time they got over the bridge and out the main entrance their throat slitting had turned to profuse apologising.
This Charming Man Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I was surprised to see mounted police at the Leeds game, dont think i've ever seen that for a game other than Pompey. The Hants OB don't have a mounted unit, we always draft them in from Thames Valley OB for the skates. I didn't see which constabulary they're from the other week. I wonder if the Hants OB have treated themselves during the summer? They also had the metal barrier up, which we had for the last Skate game. Assume it will be same again tomorrow.
This Charming Man Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 What i meant was you still could not go in a pub on the Old Kent Road on an away game' date=' you are only safe because of the above average police presence and other measures, [b']it does not mean their boys have become choirboys[/b] I never said that. All I said is that you're safe, which you are if you stick to the right areas. Obviously if you go wandering around the wrong areas, you'll get in trouble but the same can be said for a fair few grounds around the country.

I doubt the OB will turn up, they are probably too scared, like you, me and most of our fans.

Towards the end of last season it was getting full again, and there were faces I hadnt seen in years. Going back even further, under Branfoot, it was an old guy in a rowing boat

With the likes of Leeds, Millwall, Cardiff, Pompey of course, and a couple of notable others I'm sure the Police will mob well up and be on their toes.
Ken Tone Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 The JCL's are back. I know this because the hand towels in the gents have run out before the end of half-time. Some of us regular fans wash our hands too you know Come to think of it why haven't we had a thread on how useless the current hand towel dipspensers are? It's right up there with the parking charge and programme cover picture scandal IMO.
Pilchards Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 They're so well policed and have so many OB follow them around, it's untrue. If you go to their place, you won't see a 'wall fan until you're inside the ground. I suppose getting you in the ground 3 hours before kick off helps
JackanorySFC Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 only 18000 sold for tomorrow. That's pathetic. Should be 28k+ with 2k 'Wall, sunny weather, top of the league with 3 out of 3. Cracks me up that some loons think we need a 45k stadium!
Matthew Le God Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 That's pathetic. Why do you believe him?

JackanorySFC Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Why do you believe him? I've no reason to disbelieve him? That and I'm pretty certain he's smashed at least one of the girls in the ticket office. Hoping the nice weather will give us a decent walk up - maybe 24k ish (which is pretty shocking really given where we are right now). Hope I'm wrong though.
Thedelldays Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Have we started work on expanding it yet BTW? we are southampton, we'll build when we want
JackanorySFC Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Have we started work on expanding it yet BTW? With our Travelling Army of fans (to London games) and clamour for tickets at all home matches I'd hope to see the builders in asap to get the ground up to 60k in time for the promotion party at home to Donny on March 24th!

What about the catchment area? What about the fact Cortese is investing? What about Fulham being near Chelsea and able to get 27k? What about Chelsea only getting 10k in 1984? What about Liverpool being able to get 45k last season when they weren't very good? What about the fact they never said man would climb Everest? Edited 19 August, 2011 by Turkish

What about the fact they never said man would climb Everest? F*** I forgot all about the IOW - Make it 70k, actually 80k for 2 reasons. IOW get loads to their festival which doubles their population and we should/ could be bigger than Manu U or AC Milan (not Barca yet but infastructure is there to make it possible).
Thedelldays Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 but pompey got 250,000 on southsea once....what does this mean for us.. can we climb everest..?
Lazlo78 Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 They also had the metal barrier up, which we had for the last Skate game. Assume it will be same again tomorrow. I'm quite sure we've finally gotten rid of that mental barrier under Adkins!
JackanorySFC Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 but pompey got 250,000 on southsea once....what does this mean for us.. can we climb everest..? We're SFC, we could take 1,000+ to Everest away on a wet Tuesday night in Lg1 - Fact.
Saint_Jonny Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 We're SFC, we could take 1,000+ to Everest away on a wet Tuesday night in Lg1 - Fact. Good day out that. They do cracking pies and the women are HOT!
