SNOWY Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 I'll be suprised if it sells out, funds are getting low for a lot of people with two away games in a week coming up. About 28K ish is my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNOWY Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 Well i've just shelled out for both Reading and Peterborough so everyone can FFS Fair play mate, it really is a great time to be a Saints fan. I'm not doing Peterborough but am planning to do Middlesbrough. It's not just the cost of the tickets it's the beer that's killing me! Happy days!!

brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 should be a good crowd, I expect Reading will have sold their allocation, 29 - 30K I would hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 will be at least 30k. only chapel and corners left i think. reading sold their allocation of 3,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 They should twin it with the Coventry game then it would sell out. Didn't they twin Coventry with Barnsley & Ipswich? Twinning with Reading would have probably complicated matters. They probably figured that Reading would need no twinning with another game..................

Turkish Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 If we don't sell out for this one it'll be an utter disgrace and our stay aways should be ashamed of themselves. We should have sold out weeks ago. Relatively local derby, 1st v 2nd, 2nd last home game of the season, every chance we will be promoted before the next home game and a win will or only as good as send us up but possibly seal the title as well. I await everyone saying how difficult it is on a Friday night, there a road works on Hill Lane, there are engineering works on the trains,, just got our new council tax bill, holidays to pay for, went to Palace, Easter is expensive, surprise aunties birthday parties and whatever excuse people have.

The Cat Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 Was getting tickets for the 2 Boro games earlier and a bloke at the other window (who is clearly less of a fan than me) was buying Reading. He was asking how many were left for the game and was told "about 500". There were only a few blocks with tickets still available. The front 4 rows of Block 3 were still free, so I'm not sure if that 500 includes Blocks 1 & 2 being open yet or not. Either way that does mean we are pretty close to selling out what with a couple of days to go and the walk up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintmatt Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 (edited) You seem to define a proper fan as someone who will do anything to get to the big games, I define a proper fan as someone who will do anything (yet sometimes fail) to get to any game. I know someone who was at Hartlepool away with me last season but can't make Friday, what are your thoughts on them? Apologies if I've misunderstood your initial point.

whelk Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Agree embarassing if we don't sell out - hard to think how a game could be set up at this stage of the season. Listening to Don Goodman utterings is not the same. "not a penalty, definitely not a penalty, for me not a penalty" Although to be fair in pre season predictiosn stated "Southampton can use promotion from League One as a springboard for even more success" Opps sorry slipping off topic.

Turkish Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 (edited) I love it how upset people get about attendances Maybe it's me and I'm not getting something. Some fans on here not long ago were claiming this is the best side we've ever had, playing the best football they've ever seen and how great it is to be a Saints fan right now. Some fans are claiming we need a bigger stadium. There are two games left this season and this is 1st v 2nd, its a local derby, we could effectively seal promotion on Friday. Under those circumstance I can't think of a single reason why this won't sell out or why "fans" wouldnt want to be there. In fact we sh ould have sold out weeks ago and be turning people away in their droves yet all I get when mentioning it are snidy comments about thinking I'm a better fan than someone else. It's hilarious how so many think it's such a great time to be a Saints fan yet can't be arsed to go to games, even massive ones like this.

Raging Bull Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 I don't find it too annoying that the ground isn't full as it's easier to get a pint at half time but it is a little odd seeing as we're on the crest of a wave, winning matches more often than not and so close to promotion. I bet the ground will be full more often than not if we are promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
