The Majestic Channon Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 I'm flying home for this one , will be with a swedish mate , want him to be impressed im guessing a crowd of circa 24 k
Turkish Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 considering it's 1st v 2nd then it should be a sell out. Apparantly Boro are bringing about 1,500 which isn't bad. Great opportunity for there to be 31,000 Saints fans inside SMS. I don think there will be though.
CFSFC Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Anything above 27000 would be a decent turn out
The Majestic Channon Posted 26 October, 2011 Author Posted 26 October, 2011 1st v 3rd, but see where your'e coming from, only guessed 24k because the attendances have been surprisingly lower than i predicted pre season.
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 I'm flying home for this one , will be with a swedish mate , want him to be impressed im guessing a crowd of circa 24 k If you'd told a little white lie and said that you were bringing over a stunning bit of Blonde Swedish Totty who has said she'd streak on the pitch if Saints scored .... the crowd may have swelled a bit (in more ways than one LOL)
sandwichsaint Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Hopefully it won't be less than 26,234, have to do without me tho, derby, reading and palace means a pause for money reinforcements this week.
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Hopefully it won't be less than 26,234, have to do without me tho, derby, reading and palace means a pause for money reinforcements this week. Ummmm . .......... is there some special mathmatical significance to this number? Or just Random? Maybe the millionth customer thru SMS? I need to know?
hamster Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 26,234 is the amount of times I have scratched my nuts today.
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 26,234 is the amount of times I have scratched my nuts today. Slacker .... have you got one hand tied behind your back FFS?
dubai_phil Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Hmmm. Tough choice. Have to be here on 2nd Nov youngest lands. Have been asked to accompany future Mrs D_P using airmiles to Bali while she goes there for work and having a free long weekend of Bintang Beer & Nasi Goreng on a beach from heaven. Or get on the phone tomorrow to confirm some really important business meetings in London that would let me get back for Sat & Tues games.... Tough call. So had to get a mate at Emirates to find a way to blag me onto some no airmiles available flight home from London on Wednesday in time to let youngest into a severely locked up house and stop him smashing the place up AGAIN with his wild parties. I sit with everything crossed and a black eye from future Mrs D_P
Paul Chuckle Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Boro bringing 1500. It's usually a mini bus full at most that they bring down
Stepgar Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 26,234 is the amount of times I have scratched my nuts today. You should really get that looked at then!
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Boro bringing 1500. It's usually a mini bus full at most that they bring down Maybe recently , but back in the day (wayyyyyy back LOL) they were pretty well repped. It's their home support that has really dropped off (not that it was any great shakes in the 1st place). A trip to the beautiful clean air of the south coast riviera is obviously a big selling point, plus an impressive away record and p!ss poor home record!!
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 You should really get that looked at then! Give him a biscuit and he'll let you!!
Saint Without a Halo Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 If you'd told a little white lie and said that you were bringing over a stunning bit of Blonde Swedish Totty who has said she'd streak on the pitch if Saints scored .... the crowd may have swelled a bit (in more ways than one LOL) Surely when not if!
ericofarabia Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Surely when not if! Good point and well presented.
Saint_John Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 I went for a run past the Ticket Office yesterday and was told "I don't know something like 24k". I then asked "does that include the away supporters" and the answer was "yes". In the past I've been told they have to run some form of "batch job and therefore the quoted figure could be a couple of days out".
This Charming Man Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Imagine it will be 25k. The only reason WHU was so popular is because they're a big club.
Alwightmush Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Can a season ticket holder purchase extra tickets for this game?
This Charming Man Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Can a season ticket holder purchase extra tickets for this game? Yes. You can buy as many as you want.
Charlie Wayman Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 As of yesterday there were "plenty" of tickets left so guessing 24/25 tops. They don't have the 'glamour' of "Bubbles" United, poor area so don't expect a big travelling contingent
JRM Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 i see Boro had an "initial allocation" of 1500 from us which they haven't sold out yet, so i reckon they more likely bring 1300 which still isn't bad considering the cost and distance, anyone know if they have opened up more blocks of the Northam for saints fans? i reckon 24,650 my prediction, and it will be 22k for the Peterborough game on the Tuesday, the offer for that one is a bit half-hearted, should have done the season ticket holders can bring a friend for a fiver again.

According to their forum yesterday they had sold 1300 and were expecting to bring a few hundred more. I reckon about 25k as well, which isn't great considering it's a top of the table clash and we've won 17 odd games in a row at home.

Mug.
Turkish Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 What are you on about mate? We're the best supporters in the land. Mug. It's attendances like this that prove we need a 50k seater stadium.
trousers Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Twenty five thousand people watching a 2nd tier English football game between two teams 300 miles apart with only 8 Saturdays to go before Christmas at the back end of half-term holidays in Hampshire in the middle of the most significant austerity measures since 1939? That would be an excellent turn out in the circumstances...

Viking Warrior Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 yep looking forward to the game. I will miss Alpines cheery comments on the match thread tho Fly down tomorrow .
SuperMikey Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 If the weather is clear on Saturday I reckon we'll get a big walkup - can see us getting around 28-30k.
Turkish Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 If the weather is clear on Saturday I reckon we'll get a big walkup - can see us getting around 28-30k. I dont understand why the weather should make a difference, unless it's a tornado. People are sitting in an covered comfotable stadium FFS. Christmas, the weather, any other excuses??

trousers Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 I've also got a feeling it could be finals weekend on Celebrity Masterchef
shurlock Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Halloween party season. Only for student co onts - good riddance.
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 26,467, thats without any inside knowledge or asking at the ticket office. weather forcast is that it will be raining goals.. no excuses not to turn up.
alehouseboys Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 40k with 3 thousand locked out? That's when we play Brighton in a few weeks and the 'ST cock-up' kicks in. I'd say 26-27,000 for Boro.

You must have been running really really slow if you had time to say all that as well as wait for the reply......are you a tortoise with no legs?

Colbury Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 I don't want a sell out, as it attracts even more mongs in our crowd than usual. At the WHU game I was surrounded by f*ckwits. One fat repulsive bint shouted "don't mess around with it kick it up the pitch" when we were comfortably passing it around running the clock down in injury time. Give me 25k and empty seats behind and infront any day. Then I can spread out enjoy the game and not have to listen to uutter bellends spouting rubbish.

saintwiz Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Just got Bristol City ticket, asked how many they'd sold for tomorrow. He repiled "around the 30k mark."
paris Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Selling strong is the latest on the OS ........
Roger Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Just been told it just over 25k by the ticket office.
Roger Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Just been told it just over 25k by the ticket office. Reckon 27500-28k tops would be a good gate tbh.
Raging Bull Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Just got Bristol City ticket, asked how many they'd sold for tomorrow. He repiled "around the 30k mark." Great
Raging Bull Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Just been told it just over 25k by the ticket office. Oh...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Well the OS article says 'early indications show that the attendance this weekend is likely to surpass the current second highest figure of the campaign which was set at the opening fixture of the season against Leeds United.' The attendance against Leeds was 25,860. The wording of the OS article suggests that the attendance is 'likely' to surpass this amount, and therefore hasn't yet, so we can probably assume that we have so far sold somewhere between 24-25k and they are expecting to sell a few more today and have a few walk up tomorrow. Therefore a crowd of between 26k and 27k is probably likely.
