Griffo Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 Looking to get a season ticket back in the Itchen North this season. Who's moving back there? If hardly anyone is then the Itchen North will be sh*t and I'll be annoyed if I have to sit down all season.
dune Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 Traditionally the Itchen north has always been a sitting area anyway.
Griffo Posted 15 June, 2012 Author Posted 15 June, 2012 Traditionally the Itchen north has always been a sitting area anyway. It hasn't been in recent times when opened since we've been in the lower leagues.
dune Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 It hasn't been in recent times when opened since we've been in the lower leagues. That's because it's only been opened for big games when it's been appropriate to stand, i.e Pompey games. It is a sitting area. It's not the Northam.
Son of Bob Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 I had my ST in Block 2 until it was closed and it's the best part of the ground by far. There were a real good bunch of lads there when I was and there was always a good assortment of classic Saints songs too. The atmosphere is great as you're staring the away fans in the eyes which always makes for some good singing banter. It was generally a 'sitting area' before unless it was a big game like Pompey or things were getting particulary heated with the away fans!

It's not the Northam. It consistently stood for Championship games before the area was closed actually. I remember standing in Block 3 for a game against Bristol City (Won 2-0 I think) very well.

I remember standing in Block 3 for a game against Bristol City (Won 2-0 I think) very well. Well all i'm saying is that if it goes back to how it was and a few kids start getting ideas above their stations they won't reign for very long before they are put in their place. If you want to stand all match you really should stick to the Northam.
adzamazing Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 Me and 6 others moving back to block 2. All had season tickets there last time in the Championship.
BILLY Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 I haven't had a season ticket there before (had one in block 4 and family sect) but I have bought one in block 2 now and looking forward it. Whenever i have been in block 2 there has always been a good atmosphere sitting or standing.
The Cat Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 If you go to the back 10 rows or so I'm sure everyone will be stood up. To be fair you need to be quite near the back as otherwise the sun in your eyes can be quite annoying. I'd like to move over there but my mates want to stay in block 36 and have already renewed. I told them I will spend most games moaning at them that the atmosphere on the other side is better which will hopefully annoy them enough into moving the season after.

Griffo Posted 15 June, 2012 Author Posted 15 June, 2012 im moving there you lucky, lucky boy. You'll get to see me every week. Fantastic news. Which block? I'm thinking back of block 3 for myself.
BadgerBadger Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 I wonder if the 'no standing rule' will be enforced more heavily in the Prem, it's been very relaxed in the years outside the Prem
Turkish Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 Fantastic news. Which block? I'm thinking back of block 3 for myself. the very same. Your life has just got so much better.
JRM Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 I wonder if the 'no standing rule' will be enforced more heavily in the Prem, it's been very relaxed in the years outside the Prem no it hasn't. The Itchen corner was closed and what remained of it stood at the back of block 4 was harrassed every single game. The Northam also gets the stewards moaning the whole game up and down the rows. Teams tend to stand more in the prem, the away end will be full and standing for the visits of Arsenal, Spurs, United, City, Liverpool, West Ham, Newcastle. always harder for them to get people to sit when the whole away end next to them is stood.
View From The Top Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 obsessed. He really does seem to be. Strikes me as a bit odd.
View From The Top Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 We were going to move over to block 3 but I didn't fancy the sun being in my eyes. I'm a pussy
Griffo Posted 15 June, 2012 Author Posted 15 June, 2012 We were going to move over to block 3 but I didn't fancy the sun being in my eyes. I'm a pussy You'd be ok up the back I think.
LGTL Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 Used to have a ST right at the back on Block 1, stood all season quite comfortably from what I can remember. The sun is a ***** though!
The9 Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 no it hasn't. The Itchen corner was closed and what remained of it stood at the back of block 4 was harrassed every single game.

Can honestly say there was only about 1 match after Xmas when the stewards got as far back as row S in the Northam 41, it was pretty much all standing all the time.
shurlock Posted 15 June, 2012 Posted 15 June, 2012 (edited) Have been standing near the back of block 4 and have got weekly grief for standing (one lad got banned for headbutting a steward). Its been particularly resented given the northam has done what it liked). At least,the stewards backed down when blocks 1-3 were opened for west ham etc. Thinking of moving a few seats to the right to block 3 to save a few quid,especially if others move but made some good mates in block 4 upper during the bleak years and it's become the de facto heart and soul of itchen north. Sun ain't that much of a factor. Edited 15 June, 2012 by shurlock

Ian the Red Posted 18 June, 2012 Posted 18 June, 2012 Been in Block 4 for the last few seasons, always standing from row BB back. When Blocks 1-3 opened everyone stood with no harrassment. Go for it will be good atmosphere close to the away supporters
Saint_clark Posted 18 June, 2012 Posted 18 June, 2012 I wonder if the 'no standing rule' will be enforced more heavily in the Prem, it's been very relaxed in the years outside the Prem Not near the front of the Northam it bloody isn't.
Griffo Posted 3 July, 2012 Author Posted 3 July, 2012 Block 2, row FF. Finally back. Hope it's standing in there.
saintbob40 Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 I'll be in block three wearing a clown outfit most days. Hopefully that works for everyone.....
Turkish Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 I'll be in block three wearing a clown outfit most days. Hopefully that works for everyone..... Im in block 2 as well so i'll know who you are you bulb.
Griffo Posted 3 July, 2012 Author Posted 3 July, 2012 Im in block 2 as well so i'll know who you are you bulb. You in block 2 or 3 then? I couldn't buy in block 3 today so had to go in 2.
Turkish Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Block 2, row FF. Finally back. Hope it's standing in there. can you post your exact seat on the seating plan thread please so everyone knows where you sit. Although youll be clear to see with your Saints shirt with your user name on the back. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?38768-The-SaintsWeb-Forum-Member-Stadium
Turkish Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 You in block 2 or 3 then? I couldn't buy in block 3 today so had to go in 2. Meant block 3. Stood at the back, the king of the terraces.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Moved from Block 41 to Block 2... Think we're about two or three rows from the back.
Griffo Posted 3 July, 2012 Author Posted 3 July, 2012 Meant block 3. Stood at the back, the king of the terraces. I'm actually a row higher than you. Does that make me better than you?
Turkish Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 I'm actually a row higher than you. Does that make me better than you? No, it means you wont have to bring a milk crate to see over my head.
