The Cat Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 Everyone I know only bought City tickets to get priority for Arsenal. There's no way I'd have gone to a ground I'd been to before with it live on the box otherwise. But we also actually went. We even sang "we're only here for the Arsenal" when they started singing "you're only here for the City" after they announced the attendance. That confused a few of them... Really? I was under the impression everyone I knew went because they support Saints and want to follow them regardless of if they are on tv or playing more than halfway up the country. Also the only time I heard anyone singing "We're only here for" was when we were singing "We're only here for Southampton". If you are that bothered about going to the Emirates then just take a trip up there when they are playing a league cup game and get in for £15 or whatever.

The way I've always imagined The9 is that he's a slightly balding, middle aged shirter who thinks he's truly hilarious and zany, enjoys comics and Star Wars and sings songs on his own like "We're only here for the Arsenal" then looking around laughing expecting everyone else to join in but nobody does.

If you are that bothered about going to the Emirates then just take a trip up there when they are playing a league cup game and get in for £15 or whatever. Yeah really. Every single one of the 7 people in the car I was in went to Man City in order to make sure they got a ticket for Arsenal. We went to the match because we had tickets, but it wasn't out of the question that if we hadn't found a cheap and convenient way to go we'd have sold the tickets on. That was what everyone to our right was singing at the same time. I'm not that bothered about going to the Emirates or I'd have already been in the last 6 or so years it's been open, I went to Highbury for non-Saints games on a few separate occasions. I am however VERY keen to see Saints at the Emirates for the first time. And I'll be getting in for £25.50, which is a bargain anyway. Note to self : Must remember that for some people going to every match in the first month of the season (and yes I'm now going to Stevenage as well) isn't sufficient proof of Saints fandom.

Balding (a tiny bit) Middle Aged (is 39 middle aged ?) Shirter (and proud of it, I even borrowed one last weekend) Comics (no) Star Wars (is for kids, never even seen most of them) Sings songs on own (no, and I hate it when people do that alone - but I think 7 people is enough of a group to get a song started). Expecting everyone else to join in (nah). So between 1-3 out of 8. Poor profiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 So far this appears to be zero, as far as reports on here have gone. That's because nobody's shouting about it until they've got the ticket in their hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 I'd be grateful if anyone can answer this question. I'm looking to buy a couple of tickets for this game, but on the ticket site there's no option to buy. It just says 'Eligible customers only.' I'm a season ticket holder so I thought I would be eligible. Anybody have any idea why this would be? It's too late to ring the hotline but I can in the morning if no one here can help.
