Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Didn't eve realise tickets had gone on sale yet. I'll be heading down from Sheffield, As long as SaintNeil90 decides to stay at home, we'll win Any good pubs round there ? Will be a new ground for me.
South City Si Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Me & the wife, it's our anniversary old romantic that I am! ;-)
BlakeySFC Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I've been to St Andrews before and it's not a special stadium to go to atall, and the sides of the pitch look like a beach. Going to save myself some money and watch it on Sky
LGTL Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I've been to St Andrews before and it's not a special stadium to go to atall, and the sides of the pitch look like a beach. Going to save myself some money and watch it on Sky I go to watch Saints not admire the infrastructure. Each to their own though!
The9 Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Nope. And add me to the list of people annoyed at the use of "whose".
The Cat Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Yeah. Been a few times, never seen us win there. Remember their fans lobbing batteries at us when we lost 3-2 a while back (Anders scored the opener. We had a player sent off, can't remember who). It's not the best ground to go to but easy and not that far.
Griffo Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Booked our original trains when we thought it would be a 3pm KO. Will be in Birmingham very early and will be a dribbling mess by kick off. Looking forward to it.
John Boy Saint Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Me & the wife, it's our anniversary old romantic that I am! ;-) If you need, or want, to give her an extra treat get up to Brum early and drag her round the Jewellery Quarter: a damn sight better value than a trip to the High St Jewellers.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 two of us going,rather watch the mighty saints live and have an away day than watch on sky.griffo,dont have ant beers on the train,then hopefuly you wont be dribbling,see ya there.coys
Dr Who? Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Nope!! It is on the box, will save my away days for when I cannot see them from my own home. Hull City away on a Tuesday night for example!!
timebomb Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 I'm going - silly not to as I live up here now. Although I live near Birmingham I hardly ever go in so any advise on pubs is welcome.
jasonb Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Hotels booked, train tickets purchased.. a few of us old school mates making a weekend of it (we all live in various parts of the country). All I need now is the match tickets... Assume there will be a few left when they go on general sale on Friday?? Also IIRC I can purchase more than 2 tickets on one customer number?? As you can tell.. we don't go much these days as a group!
This Charming Man Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 I go to watch Saints not admire the infrastructure. Each to their own though! I don't understand why people feel the need to make up obscure excuses as to why they're not going. Just admit you can't be arsed and would rather stay at home and watch it in the warm. P.s. I am going.

As you can tell.. we don't go much these days as a group! If you're buying on general sale, then I don't think you even need a customer number. You'll be able to buy as many as you want for this one to be honest.

When top of the league.
oldsarum Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 I'm going and as are 7 Dutch lads who are flying over for the game
Sour Mash Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 I'm going and as are 7 Dutch lads who are flying over for the game Dutch Saints lot? They the ones that come over once a year or so for games?
jasonb Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Nice one. I'll be buying online so I think I need my number for that?
This Charming Man Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Nice one. I'll be buying online so I think I need my number for that? Yes you will.
oldsarum Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Dutch Saints lot? They the ones that come over once a year or so for games? Yes these lads come over at least once a season Their last visit was for Tranmere last season They are the Dutch Francis Benali Fan Club, whom I and other London Saints first met on a pre-season tour of Holland and Belgium by Saints when Alan Ball was manager. They come over at least once a season, and a few years ago when we played Hull and won 4-2 under Burley, they cycled to Rotterdam and got the ferry over and then cycled to the game, only to discover that several bikes had been stolen from where they left them locked up during the game. Managed to get several of them tickets for JPT Final

Blandford saint Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 2 of us going. Luckily, working at the Spring Gift Fair at the NEC on the Sunday, so it's perfect timing. Visited the ground a couple of times before and not that impressed - still, will be a real test for us the way Brum are playing at the moment.

Saint Garrett Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Why is it not available to choose on the 'book online' function ?
Sour Mash Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Why is it not available to choose on the 'book online' function ? Just a guess, but maybe they're not on general sale yet?
Saint Garrett Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Ah, fair enough ! I assumed they were, would be nice for the club to tell us when tickets go on sale for games !
This Charming Man Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Ah, fair enough ! I assumed they were, would be nice for the club to tell us when tickets go on sale for games ! They did; http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2571343,00.html
Sour Mash Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Ah, fair enough ! I assumed they were, would be nice for the club to tell us when tickets go on sale for games ! To be fair, you've got a point though, why do they still need to be on restricted sale and why can't we have an on-line ticketing system that can deal with something so basic.
saintgoughy Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 Me & the wife, it's our anniversary old romantic that I am! ;-) you are an absolute LEGEND, what a lad !!!
saintgoughy Posted 17 January, 2012 Posted 17 January, 2012 I've been to St Andrews before and it's not a special stadium to go to atall, and the sides of the pitch look like a beach. Going to save myself some money and watch it on Sky nothing beats a bit of casual sunbathing on a warm febraury day, we all hope you enjoy sitting at home with a prawn sandwich and cup of coco, should be a great atmousphere in the living room
dickyhale Posted 19 January, 2012 Posted 19 January, 2012 Yes will be driving up. 4 off us going up...........
jasonb Posted 19 January, 2012 Posted 19 January, 2012 Yes will be driving up. 4 off us going up........... Does the online system automagically update at midnight to offer general sale tickets?? Or am I better off phoning in the morning?
BlakeySFC Posted 20 January, 2012 Posted 20 January, 2012 nothing beats a bit of casual sunbathing on a warm febraury day, we all hope you enjoy sitting at home with a prawn sandwich and cup of coco, should be a great atmousphere in the living room Been to most away games this year, just don't really fancy this one. It's a bonus it's on the box, but I wouldn't go even if it wasn't
Tamesaint Posted 20 January, 2012 Posted 20 January, 2012 Going with my 12 yr old nephew who lives in Brum but supports the Saints. He has a hard time up there supporting the Saints so for his sake we need a good win.
Saint Garrett Posted 20 January, 2012 Posted 20 January, 2012 Got two today for me and a mate, making a weekend of it. Is there any specific pubs that are recommended ? footballgroundguide reckons they're not very welcoming around the ground !
Elias Posted 20 January, 2012 Posted 20 January, 2012 Got two today for me and a mate, making a weekend of it. Is there any specific pubs that are recommended ? footballgroundguide reckons they're not very welcoming around the ground ! There's loads of places to drink in Birmingham city centre, there's also some Irish pubs between the centre and the ground in Digbeth. Brindley Place and the Mailbox have some posher places to drink, Broad Street has a whole array of places to drink (mostly chain pubs) and isn't classy but is ok for a sustained drink. Broad Street is the other side of the centre to the stadium and is between Birmingham New Street and Five Ways station. Also some drinking around the Arcadian (recommended over Broad Street fro a night out)which is next to Chinatown and has some bars and places to eat. The Custard Factory (an alternativey little development) which is fairly near the ground has a bar as well.
