This Charming Man Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 And how should we have known that?? The lower tier always stands and the upper tier sits. Always been the way with Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Not in the 35 odd years I've been doing away games it hasn't. traditionally when grounds had away seats / terrace you'd always have the terrace in the lower tier with seats above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Not in the 35 odd years I've been doing away games it hasn't. Take Loftus Rd and WHL for example. The bottom tier always stands there, without fail. The upper tier always sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham should be alright to be fair, being a boxing day it means that there's no trains so i doubt you'll get as many daytrippers as usual and it'll be one of the cheaper games in london. I'm also a fan of spurs away, even if it's a ballache to get to it's normally a good atmosphere at WHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that will matter, don't think we've ever had the upper tier there. Normally just get given the lower as we don't normally take many.

Or perhaps I'm just being blindly optimistic!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps I'm just being blindly optimistic!? After the poor attendance at Man City, I doubt the club will risk taking the full allocation and you can't really blame them. If we can't sell out the first game of our Premiership return, at the home of the Premiership champions, in the same are of the country - I can't see us selling this either.

ladysaint Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 To be fair if we had been drawn away to say Everton first game of the season IMO I think we would have sold out, the fact that it was televised on a Sunday was the major reason for people not buying tickets, even the lure of extra loyalty points did not sway it.

I know loads who would have gone to Citeh but weren't going to cough out £51 + travel for a TV game & I can't say I blame them at all. If it wasn't for Arsenal following so close behind I wouldn't have bothered & I'm only 1hr away from Eastlands. I won't be shelling out for another away game if it's on the box as that ££ buys an away game that I would otherwise have skipped based on cost.

suewhistle Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Just back (to my mum's)! I've been upt'north staying with various friends and had a night out in Manchester on the Saturday - great fun. Apart from the goals highlights were JWP - not looking out of place in the Premiership, Clyne looking a better buy every time I see him and the general play. Lambert and Davies coming on when they did was obviously planned from the start, but what an impact! So, so pleased that Lambert had finally got to the top division and then scored in his first match. Guly looked much more comfortable in that position, did he play there in Italy? Shame about Fox's mistake but unintentional and don't hold it against him. Puncheon worked hard but his shooting and decision making is still suspect. Davis' distribution could be better and disappointed that he was beaten at the near post, but the OP is right: I can't remember coming away from a defeat so positive.

Griffo Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Youtube have taken down the videos of the goals. F*ck. I wanted to use the commentary for Lambert's goal as a ringtone. Anyone got a video of it with the Sky commentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
