jasonb Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I very much doubt you'll get on the pitch as Middlesbrough give away fans the top part of the stand and not the bottom bit I think. My tickets say South Lower! ON THE PITCH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Then again - anyone know what parking's like? I could give 3 people a lift up from (and back to) Notts too if I went...?it will be easy if the stadium is half full as it seems it will be.

Jack Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 We're in South Upper I think. Who's going to break my fall into the Lower tier? I heard the South Lower tickets were kept for those who waited till this was a promotion clincher before buying..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to look a bit harder at the fixture list before spending all your spare money on something else that's probably less important than the chance to see your team get promoted in the flesh.

saint_jas Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Can't wait for this one. 3 hour train from Nottingham and stay over. No way I am missing this one, after being at Plymouth last season. Also Peterborough was superb yesterday, just a shame I can't do Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Oh well. Maybe you need to look a bit harder at the fixture list before spending all your spare money on something else that's probably less important than the chance to see your team get promoted in the flesh. WE cant really afford it, but I told my Mrs that I wanted my nipper to be at the promotion party. He's been to the last 6, with my Brother in law taking him to Palace when I had to work.Staying up in Boro sat night, and would love it if it's job done up there. Personally I think to gain promotion such a long way from home, would be a fantastic reward for our great travelling support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 That was my last game of the season last night, really pushing the luck with the wife and leaving her at home with 3 kids over Easter weekend Saturday and Monday, and then going to Peterbough as well last night. I could ask, but do not think it is worth it, but would love to be there. Would get the train if I did and would have to take 2 of the 3 kids. Think I will leave it, but this is not something that happens every day, but it might not happen on Saturday anyway, more likely to happen on Monday or the following Saturday!

The9 Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Thanks to a combination of : Someone wanting to go to the match as their husband is at a stag do Someone buying me a ticket to give them someone to go with Someone paying the petrol up front to get me as far as York Someone driving me from York to Boro and back Someone else kindly giving me free overnight accommodation Someone else having a car with much better fuel consumption than mine Not going on said stag do ONLY due to being too skint to afford it I will be there. I went to Plymouth last season and did my time - and I've been to Middlesbrough three times before too, including the win in the relegation season. Otherwise I'd be watching it on the box. Even offering me free corporate tickets to Peterborough yesterday didn't make that possible ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Uwe Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Well I won't be going...I haven't seen Saints play since they beat Yeovil 2-0 three years ago. In that time we've won the JPT, got promoted from League One and are on the verge of getting back to the Prem. If you want Saints to continue being successful then you won't want people like me going to see a Saints game any time soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I'll be impressed if we sellout. It's bloody hours away and it's on TV. We had a serious think about doing it last night, but knowing we'd have to go up and back on the day and an the bingo bus at this late stage, it just isn't worth it. We'll have a better time in the pub where we can actually celebrate victory if we get it, rather than sit on a quiet coach home for six bloody hours! So being at a game where we can get promoted back to top flight for the first time since 1978 isn't worth making a bit of effort? Have a great time singing songs at the telly and throwing your beer over yourself when we score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Are you allowed to turn up on the day as a 'neutral' and just buy a ticket and sit in the stand. Do they ask for i'd? How would they know we are from Southampton? Surely as ;long as they sell tickets who cares or are there rules that prevent 'neutrals' wanting to watch out of interest and curiosity?

Choose a ****ing ticket at the Riverside. Choose getting the train, the car, flying, or even the bingo bus. Choose a great day out, seeing your team win and gain promotion. Choose running on the pitch to celebrate. Choose a stranger to randomly hug in joy, or choose your friends. Choose to applaud the players and management. Choose to leave the stadium smoking a cigarette or a big ****ing spliff. Choose getting smashed in Newcastle and wondering who the **** you are on the Sunday morning. Or choose sitting on that couch in your bed-sit watching the game all alone stuffing ****ing junk food into your mouth. Choose feeling empty at the end of it wishing you'd made the effort to get your sorry butt up to Middlesborough rather than watching on tv and posting on Saints Web, the feeling rotting away inside at the end of it all, ****ing your cheap lager into your own miserable toilet, nothing more than an embarrassment to the proper, ****ed-up fans on the rampage up North. Choose your way of support. Choose right . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose going to Boro: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons.

It's quite funny, but it will be even funnier when they all get home and log on to The Saints Web to moan about what other supporters were or weren't singing at the game etc. I might do my bit by dishing out some Saints supporter guidelines to people in the pub I choose to go to.
