Alwightmush Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 I'd like to see a huge statue of Cortese overlooking it all. Arms outstreached embracing the whole development and city.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 I am told that the big red building is the Saints FC Museum incorporating the trophy hall. It will cost £25 to get in and have look around, but those with 50,000 points on their ST card can get in for £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is loyalty points will go straight onto your season ticket number giving you priority for tickets for the massive carling cup 2nd round tie away to Preston in September.

ant Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 Windows Media Player is gash. VLC Player can decode pretty much any format of video file - best media program out there. Didn't receive my ticket today so I guess they're going out in batches. They're certainly keen, it's a good eight and a half weeks until kick off.

Shroppie Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 (edited) Question. Reading through the Terms and Conditions, it says that moves will only be allowed "for good reason". I'm confused as to whether this means making a permanent change to your seat half way through the season, or does it also apply to a one-off change? I have a season ticket in a block where pretty well all seats are season tickets, so when I go to a match with a non-season-ticket holding friend (or even my wife) I can never buy a ticket near my seat. I would like to be able to move just for a single game so that I can have two seats together. I know from experience that other clubs' systems allow this - you just log on, buy one ticket and choose an option to move your own seat next to it. The system then frees up the normal seat for sale. If other clubs can do it, I hope that we can. Anyone know the answer? If not , I'll e-mail the club.

scotty Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 Question. Reading through the Terms and Conditions, it says that moves will only be allowed "for good reason". Decades ago, when I didn't work saturdays and had no mortgage to pay or wife to pacify, I had a season ticket at the Dell. The thing I hated about it was that as Shroppie says, you tend to get lumped in with other ST holders. That means if you get stuck next to or near an utter c*nt, you were stuck with them for the entire season. (In fact, thinking back, most of the ST holders anywhere near me tried to move.........)

The one time I could afford a season ticket, I bought one. It was the 2005/06 season, so we'd just been relegated. Brilliant. We played some terrible football and 90% of the time never looked like winning. Even better. Then there was the fact I was lumped next to an absolute head case. He really was absolutely mental. I've not had a season ticket since but I'm hoping to be able to get one this season and am faced with a dilemma. Having worked for the Beeb I've had a halfway line view for the past year and nothing beats it, but no one so much as raises their voice. So do I risk sitting next to another day release mental patient or pay more for a good view but have significantly less atmosphere? Tough one. I quite fancy the idea of sitting behind the dugout, but I'm guessing those seats will have already been snapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But full of season ticket holders, including one who is the world's biggest moaner.

Personally I used to go with atmosphere everytime and sat in the Northam right near the back. But in the last 2 seasons I just can't be arsed with the standing up and being packed in like sardines so I've been sitting Block 7/8/9 in the Itchen. The atmosphere is like a library but the view of the pitch and the match is sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite fancy the idea of sitting behind the dugout, but I'm guessing those seats will have already been snapped up. Its a toughie. If you want lots of atmosphere, go join the Yoof in the Northam. Just be prepared for constant standing up / sitting down with the largered up leery lads and fights with our own supporters if you get it wrong by a split second. I agree that the halfway line is a great place to be if you have a serious hangover induced headache, but you need a lottery win to be there, as well as not to take any food wrappers that might rustle. So the Itchen North has some serious advantages, not least the proximity to the away fans for much merriment, but you will be at a handy 90 degree angle to them so can firmly concentrate on looking at the pitch and not at them if we are getting spanked.

I am a renewing season ticket holder (despite living 200 miles from St Mary's) and I would be grateful if you could clarify something for me. Occasionally I bring a friend who is not a season ticket holder with me to home games, obviously buying an additional ticket for them. A regular problem last season was that I could never get the additional seat anywhere bear my seat, presumably because there are so many season ticket holders sitting around me. On two occasions I actually had to buy two tickets together and not use my season ticket. With the excellent new card system, I am hoping that for individual games there will be an on-line system that allows me, when I want an extra ticket, to find two seats together, buy one and move myself for that game only, freeing up my normal seat for sale. This is certainly possible at other clubs, for example Reading, where I occasionally go to games and my friend, who has a Reading season ticket, is easily able to move to sit next to me. I sincerely hope that Saints are maximising the new technology in this way. Will this be the case? Their reply: Thank you for your email.

If other clubs can cope with this, why can't we? I am tempted to take this up with someone more senior at the club, but not sure who, or how to get an e-mail address.

Whitey Grandad Posted 21 June, 2012 Share Posted 21 June, 2012 Bought my two this morning. £1350 plus £3.00 because I paid by card instead of cash. Are they crazy? Don't they know how much cash costs to process? If it makes any of you feel any better, my brother-in-law's company has just renewed their four corporate package seats (not a box) at White Hart Lane for a total price of £19,000 for one season.
