Saint_clark Posted 20 March, 2013 Share Posted 20 March, 2013 Got an email today about corporate areas, and the most expensive one was £3200 for a box, food, drink and bevvies, and a show after the game with a player interview and the chance to win some signed memorabilia. 10 people per box...is it just me, or does £320 PP seem extremely steep for what's on offer? No mention of it being all you can eat or open bar, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 21 March, 2013 Share Posted 21 March, 2013 (edited) How unexpected is it that a game featuring one of the big 4 is a sell-out? Not very unexpected to sellout vs Chelsea of course, but we sold out in this seasons relegation threatened campaign to... 1. Man Utd 2. Tottenham 3. Newcastle 4. Sunderland 5. Arsenal 6. Man City 7. QPR 8. Liverpool 9. Chelsea And having the following games remaining... 10. West Ham - They have sold out 3,000 away tickets and could well be another sellout 11. West Brom - The least likely of the remaining games to be a sellout, but you never know 12. Stoke - Last game of the season, very likely to sell out So in a relegation threatened season, Saints will likely sellout for 11 (or possibly 12) of the 19 games. Imagine if we actually had a good season in the top half of the Premier League! 32k capacity is simply too small for Saints in a Premier League relegation battle, let alone where Cortese/Liebherr want to take us.

Saint Charlie Posted 21 March, 2013 Share Posted 21 March, 2013 We could easily sell 45k for most games and 80k for the Cat A matches. United do and although they win a lot the quality and excitement on offer is, IMO, poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 March, 2013 Share Posted 21 March, 2013 Manchester airport is packed after games. Glory hunters and confused Irish men fly in from all over using budget airlines. I struggle to get down the Avenue on match days. If we do start getting massive crowds, we are going to have to do something about the transport. It is bad enough as it is without having loads of glory hunters & Irish coming in from the airport as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad enough as it is without having loads of glory hunters & Irish coming in from the airport as well. Lots of fans will come from Japan to watch Maya and also Radhi Jaidi is attracting fans from North Africa to SMS. The more diverse supporter base, the more different directions the fans will be going after the game so won't experience the same disrutption as United who have a narrow fan base.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 March, 2013 Share Posted 21 March, 2013 That's one of the problems we will have Charlie. You can approach manchester from different directions but to get to st Mary's you pretty much have to come from North to south (except for those from the sea fairing nations and Hythe). Let's either improve the roads or move the new stadium to manchester. Or... There is always the station option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that a relegation season makes crowds smaller? I think the current uptake in sales is due to people wanting to play thier part in keeping Saints up. If we stay up and are mid table this time next year, I'd say we have less chance of sell outs against the likes of QPR, West ham etc. Not more.

Do you think Chelsea would get 42,000 at Stamford Bridge if they were in a relegation fight? When Chelsea were a mid table Premier League team in the mid 90's before the Harding/Bates/Abramovich money they averaged similar to what Saints did in League One.

If we were 6th, it would likely be because we had a team packed full of internationals, playing good football, regularly winning and a very positive atmosphere about the fanbase. It would also mean we'd be more likely to go on better cup runs and possibly win something. All things that would contribute to growing the fanbase and having larger attendances, something a 32k St Mary's would hamper us from doing. Every sellout this season in a relegation fight means the club can't meet the demand of the fanbase and people are missing out, which is why Cortese commissioned AFL to come up with those designs.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 March, 2013 Share Posted 21 March, 2013 The extra fans who have a customer number logged after 2012 will have to watch the game form the Jawa Sandcruzer thing.

tajjuk Posted 21 March, 2013 Share Posted 21 March, 2013 We need a bigger stadium... Someone is Turkish fishing. Whilst it's good games are selling out, there were a lot of Liveprool fans in the home section last week, about 6 round me, four of whom were Spanish. I would imagine Chelsea would be the same, although the nationality of the glory hunter might be different. All paying customers I suppose. Whilst I am pro-expansion think we need to see the likes of Norwich, Reading, WBA, etc. sell out a few weeks in advance then we're in buisness. If we were 6th, it would likely be because we had a team packed full of internationals, playing good football, regularly winning and a very positive atmosphere about the fanbase.
