KDSFC Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I understand in some cases people just cannot go, but to not sell out our allocation is ridiculous given how much is riding on the game. But still, I'll be there and buzzing like never before if we seal promotion. Big moment in our history is almost here and the thought of not being there makes me want to vomit everywhere.

Turkish Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 You wouldn't have thought so, but whatever makes him feel better. I meant i wont be feeling sorry for people whilst i'm celebrating promotion with proper fans and players, those that aren't there think it just isn't worth it.

JRM Posted 18 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I'll be in the pubs with hundreds of other Saints fans and then out making a night of it. You'll be in the North worrying more about how smug you feel for 'making the effort' as opposed to just enjoying the occasion. imagine if all the other fans took that approach and thought nah, too much hassle, and we were promoted in front of a handful of people in the away end?

Hemel Saint Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 From the official website…. "There are just a few hundred tickets remaining for this weekend".

stkev7 Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Fair comment actually... if this game meant nothing we'd have about 900 of us up there instead of hundreds of JCLs foaming at the gash to get tickets.

When i booked mine at 9am they have 1,500 left an hour or so later there was 1,200 left!

Gotta win first, but if there is a pitch invasion, we'll find a way down there from the upper. Either way it's gonna be a top weekend, it'll be sold out, we'll be p*ssed up and noisy from start to finish.

You have to be some kind of mong to think you're getting on the pitch at an away game without getting banned or arrested, promotion or not. There's some chance of smpathetic stewarding at a home match, but away ? No. Incidentally, keeping people off the pitch would make them some of the BEST stewards.

Barry the Badger Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Would love to be there but just can't do another now. Went to Palace, and then Peterborough with the hope it would be 'the one' and we didn't quite make it. I will have to content myself with the pub and a night out in Southampton afterwards, will be jealous of those who are there but sure I will get over it, town will be awesome anyway.

Unlike some on here, I don't think I'm that influential and I'm sure that my decision to attend or not will have no bearing whatsoever on what other fans choose to do. Perhaps more importantly, I won't be making a point of telling them they are or aren't doing the right or wrong thing. I predict we'll take most of our allocation.

Pilchards Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I feel sorry for the players that want to do a lap of honour with there love ones, instead of having to stand on seats high in the stands struggling to soak up a pitch invasion.

Have you looked at the pictures on the OS from Walsall last season? I don't think it could've been possible for the players to look any happier if they tried. They were even filming the scenes on their phones/video cameras. Their tweets after would also suggest they were impressed with the scenes.
