Matthew Le God Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 "I will still be on soccer saturday but didnt want any bother trying to get tickets on a match by match basis when i wasnt working. I'll be able to watch sunday and midweek games" I guess this thread will turn into a debate about the club should give him a free one. I see no harm in making everyone pay for a ticket, no matter who they are. Interesting that he is going in the Kingsland, can anyone make out the block, row and seat on his ticket? Us mortals in the Kingsland will get to see him for Sunday and midweek games!
The Kraken Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Surprised the club even let him buy a ticket and did an Illingsworth with him.... MLT
Golden Balls Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 What a legend!! His son also has a ST in the Northam. Imagine MLT in there!!
This Charming Man Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Looks like Row DD, that's all I can make out. Another person jumping on the bandwagon though. I don't recall him having a ST when we were in the lower league's. Glory hunter...
pingwing Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Block 40, row DD, seat a guess of 36 Either way that's pretty cool and a sensible solution for the great man. Dishing out free one's isn't really the most sensible thing for the club as it'll be too hard to draw the line for who does and doesn't get one (sadly).
pingwing Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Bah can't edit Block 36, row DD seat 127 at an unfocused push.
hypochondriac Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 He was in a box on numerous occasions last season anyway.
Matthew Le God Posted 26 July, 2012 Author Posted 26 July, 2012 He was in a box on numerous occasions last season anyway. Yep, but now he is amongst the peasants like a true fan!

Dishing out free one's isn't really the most sensible thing for the club as it'll be too hard to draw the line for who does and doesn't get one (sadly). Hmmm. I think there's a line that can be drawn; don't give out any season tickets, but have 10 or so tickets free for ex players for every game. Players have to apply each time for a ticket, and they're given a table in one of the coporate suites amongst other fans. I did that in the old Ambassador's Suite once, Lawrie Mac hosted it and that day there was Jim Steele, Glenn C o ckerill and Jimmy Case with him. Jim Steele did a 5 minute speech to everyone, Lawrie Mac hosted it, the ex-players chatted with the guests, it was brilliant. Its a touch that the whole "keep ex players at arm's length" approach of the new regime hasn't yet come close to replicating IMO, which is a shame.

Matthew Le God Posted 26 July, 2012 Author Posted 26 July, 2012 http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?38873-Season-ticket-sales/page6 I thought it might warrant a thread of its own.
dune Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 I hope he realises i'm gonna have to stalk him now. He's a legend in my eyes.
hutch Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 All the bloody plastic JCL's coming back now we're back in the prem.
Nexstar Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Not sure on the block, but looks like CC 827 to me. Sounds about right for the Kingsland North-ish corner.
Graffito Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Can't read that but I saw him with his kids last season two rows from the back of Block 34.
sotonjoe Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Son has moved to block 38 from block 41 this season. I'd guess Matt's ticket is there too.
Leicestersaint Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 The greatest footballer I have ever had the privilege to see.
once_bitterne Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Son has moved to block 38 from block 41 this season. I'd guess Matt's ticket is there too. That's Northam tho? MLT is in the Kingsland.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 That's Northam tho? MLT is in the Kingsland. 38 is Kingsland.
buctootim Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Seems to me he is really holding out an olive branch. Hope somebody at the club picks it up.
St.JonB Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Still find it hard to understand why he has to pay for a ticket when he wants to come to St Marys. Out of interest do current players/members of staff have to pay to watch a match?
hypochondriac Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Seems to me he is really holding out an olive branch. Hope somebody at the club picks it up. Not really. He was at nmerous games last year. He is just a fan and wants to go to games the same as anyone else. There is no 'olive branch' involved.

Out of interest do current players/members of staff have to pay to watch a match? I very much doubt he paid for all of his seats in corporate last year. I didn't because the times I was in there were comp tickets from an ex player.
dune Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Seems to me he is really holding out an olive branch. Hope somebody at the club picks it up. I notice he doesn't want to be in the vicinity of the little Nicky.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 playing for us Only cause his Mrs. didn't want to move to London.
Bearsy Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Good opporunity for weirdos to creep over on the Saturdays when he ain't there and sniff his seat or whatever! I stopped at the motorway services earlier for a dump and went in the cubical, shut the door and sat down and it was only then I noticed that someone had written this on the back of the door, "I came on the door handle". Something like that would be a nice tributes to the Great Man!
aintforever Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 He shouldn't have to buy one but it's cool that he has.
Brussels Saint Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Still find it hard to understand why he has to pay for a ticket when he wants to come to St Marys. Out of interest do current players/members of staff have to pay to watch a match? As I understand both Cortese and Markus when he was with us, pay for a season ticket. I'm sure I read somewhere Cortese state this as one of the first things we heard from him. He basically said everyone must pay including him. Anyone else remember that?

I'm sure I read somewhere Cortese state this as one of the first things we heard from him. He basically said everyone must pay including him. Anyone else remember that? Well as I said, I know for a fact that some ex players get comp tickets for free direct from the club so that's a load of rubbish.

hypochondriac Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 What the **** makes you the expert on MLT's motivations? I could ask the same of you. I have actually spoken to him though (last year, whatever game was on the night that Arsenal had that comeback in the champions league but just fell short). I was also on an episode of question of sport with him when he was dressed as Elvis. And you?

I expressed an opinion and you flatly and authoritively contradicted it on the basis that you once cornered him in a car park and were in the audience when he did Question of Sport. hahahahaha hahaa hahaaha ahahaahah haahahahahahaahaha hahaahahahaa
hypochondriac Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Is he your best friend? Of course not. I just happen to know that he went to numerous games last year and just wants to enjoy seeing saints as a fan. As I said.

He was never banned from St Marys and never stopped going. There is no olive branch to offer. Everything else about your reply is pathetic.

hypochondriac Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 You're Sue Barker, aren't you. I knew it, I bloody knew it! It was the segment where you have to guess the sports star. MLT looked good in sideburns!

DJ_TOAST Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Fair play to Matty. Shame he has to buy a Season ticket (personally feel he should be entitled to a ticket when he likes for what he's done for the club) and it's like that sort of situation but good on him for showing his support for the club and getting one anyway.
paulwantsapint Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 If MLT has got a ticket at back of kingsland he can become the bloke who summerises for sky & keep chris kamara & Paul Walsh away from st Mary's
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 What a legend!! His son also has a ST in the Northam. Imagine MLT in there!! Would that be Mitchel - I thought he was a Liverpool fan
