JRM Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Good news for everyone who applied. Don't see it as embarrassing at all, i'm sure the remaining tickets will sell. it does show up some of the people trying to compare us to west ham on a recent support when it comes to levels of support. it is again interesting that the official site article still makes no reference to how many tickets we have actually been allocated, how many we have actually sold, and how many remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is merely the "Bubble" element of the trip, our away support has surprised me at how good it has been this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Good news for everyone who applied. Don't see it as embarrassing at all, i'm sure the remaining tickets will sell. We'll def sell out. To be fair if you look at our season ticket holders, when you take away those that are older than 55 (half the Kingsland), those under 14/15 (quite a few in the Chapel), it's those that would be put off this sort of trip. At least they’re reselling the rest, plenty of non-season ticket holders will be after one. Have they actually confirmed what our allocation is?

StDunko Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 I've just read the article online, as a sucessful aplicant I am now entitled to purchase an additional ticket. It is not clear from the article whether there are any restrictions on those additional tickets. Can I buy one for a friend that is not a ST holder and has only done several homes and only one away?

I'm just gunna have a great day in town with my mates (8 of us who are all ST holders by the way) hopefully watching us **** all over them.

Surely if we were to "p!ss all over them" then it would all be worth the hassle. If we beat them, no one will look back on the day and say "I was there when we beat the skates away, but i wish i had not gone because i had to sit on a bus for a couple of hours" I know its an inconvenience what the old bill have done but surely getting to wembley on a Sunday was an incovenience and 50,000 of us managed that.

Jack Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 I think a lot of STHs wouldn't have bothered applying if they had zero or 1 away games on their customer number. Not surprised it didn't sell out. I'm hoping there are not too many left and they'll get enough ballot applications to cover the remaining tickets. I was thinking it would be easier to watch it in the pub, but could I really miss an opportunity to see us beat the skates at fratton for the first time in my generation? Not a chance.

And to me this skate game is far more important. I totally hear what you're saying, and in a way i agree with you about the first paragraph. However, that isn't strictly my reasons for not going. It's the fact that they are forcing us to jump through hoops, and then pay over the odds to do so. I desperately want saints to win, and if they do i will have an unbelievable day wherever i am. I admit it would be 10 times better if i was there in person, but the prospect of spending the day sober, being pushed around by police, sat on a double decker bus for hours and of course, the chance that they might beat us, is definitely enough to put me off when i can save all the time and money and watch it in the pub.

JRM Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 it is interesting they are making non-season ticket holders prove they have been to 4 aways, but season ticket holders can get an extra ticket each for anybody, regardless of how many games they have done, i would say those who want one just get your season ticket holder mates who are already going to get another one for you. with no indication of how many we have sold i have a feeling there are still quite a few left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been opened up solely to non STH's at this point and which would have reached more of those that have done 4 away games or alternatively have been able to offer to people who have done fewer away games. As for not selling out to STH, that's exactly what happened last time we played down there so nothing new. As to the propspect of not selling out at all, that's never going to happen. I'm desperate to go having been subjected to the torture of the last two visits there but won't be going because I've only done two aways so far and I think there are plenty of people like me that will be desperately disappointed to have missed out.

West End Saint Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Get in that means I have my ticket I am so looking forward to this game I have been day dreaming of Lambo netting the winner in front of the Saints fans & going mental. I am sure it will sell out we took 4000 + to Reading ffs & 3000 + made it to Coventry for the last 3 seasons I have been impressed by our away attendance. Whilst I can understand some people not wanting to go there will be plenty who do I also think a fair few didnt apply as they didnt think they would get a ticket no doubt they will now do so.

SFKA South Woodford Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Well I hope that they don't sell out with this ballot either, as I only have two 'aways' at present and really want a Pompey ticket. I want to banish the memory of that dire performance in the 1-4 and then having to stand in the ground whilst they played f**king Amarillo over and over and over again! I want to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Saints family that will be there as we all as one sing our hearts out for the lads and when we win, to then shove it back down the throats of the fish f**kers.

The9 Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 "We" - Southampton Football Club and a section of its associated supporters, though not necessarily the ones singing this song "'re" - contraction of the word "are" "Coming for you" : 1. proceeding in a temporal fashion, no physical or geographical measurements being considered, towards an implied fixture in the near future between the clubs of Portsmouth and Southampton, with the intention of securing the three points in said fixture. 2. (when sung prior to the teams being in the same division) intending on becoming promoted into the same division and then developing a team capable of restoring the status quo, viz. Saints above Pompey. 3. Literal : Every single person singing this song at this time is intending on travelling to Portsmouth on December 18th in order to collect Portsmouth Football Club and deliver it to an unspecified location. © Mr Logic, 2011 I think I know which of those 3 explanations is most accurate.
