Oh and what about the lads in Singapore? Aus? US?

We just helped out a Singapore Saint who was coming back home for a week yet watches every game in one of the two Saints pubs over there.

 

Is HE a JCL or floater?

Where's the f*cking statue?

 

This is the view from the of the stadium from the first platform of the statue, just above Corteses Borgioli tassled loafers, a view from here will cost you £8.50.

8000 to 10000 sounds about right.

I'm sure we would average around 36000 then sell out 42000 for the big ones.

Bring it on.

Along way from those days when I had a season ticket at The Dell with capacity of 15000 when all seated!

That mock up looks like terminal 7

 

Would be very handy for all those new found European fans who are desperate to see Saints

 

Can i get there from Heathrow too?

I'm i the only one that'd prefer a smaller ground packed each with people that actually make noise, than a bigger ground with "floating/jcl" fans that sit in silence (albeit with their club merchandise)?

 

One of my biggest hates in the prem is how poor the atmosphere is and this is massively down to JCLs/Plastics/part timers.

No you're not. A lot on here seem obsessed with attracting new fans and day trippers. I couldn't think of anything worse. Give me a smaller crowd full of fans making a racket any day.

Well you'll be happy to hear that JCL have split up today then.

Looking on twitter yesterday, Saints official account was "retweeting" people who had been boasting about getting tickets for the Stoke game, I clicked on one of those people retweeted and his bio described himself as a "Kopite", sums up the modern Premier League experience really.

exactly, just like sheff wed at home this season. was so much better with just the real fans in, proves we only need a 10000 seater stadium

Yep. Like many, its one of the reasons why, apart from our successes at the time, I will look back fondly on our L1 seasons.

Until we have a waiting list of 5k or more it would be stupid to expand the stadium from a business point of veiw. Why would the club want to give up what pricing power they have?. A ticket to see southampton needs to be hard to come by.

I've just done a little mock up for you all this evening. What does everyone think of my design I have made.

 

That is definitely the mother ship with the Emperor Dalek on board and half the Dalek army. Imagine a stadium full of 200,000 Daleks !

Intimidating for the opposition. Altogether now EXTERMIMNATE !

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned previously, but with the recent attendances and sellouts for West Brom and Stoke coming up, I think provisions need to be made to expand the stadium. Around 8000 extra seats should do it for the time being (another tier on the Kingsland).

 

Anyone had any thoughts on this?

 

Are you for real? Do you ever read this forum? Wonder why you're the first to think about it... LOL!

Bugger me, I didn't know we have plans to expand to 200,000

What happened to the gravel extraction site?

Which is why I've always been of the belief that we monitor our support over two or three seasons. High numbers of season tickets, together with lots of sell outs and demand hugely outstripping supply over a sustained period. If we have that and we can prove we could regularly sell 36-40k then that is the time to expand. There really isn't any point expanding if we can only fill a bigger stadium 2 or 3 times a season.

 

I guess part of it is the additional sales the club can get from fans on the day - there's probably more benefit to getting daytrippers in than surly, picky, regular attendees like me who never spend money in the stadium once the new kit is done for the season.

Define Floaters?

 

Is my brother a floater? He could only make around half the games this year due to work so decided an ST was a bad investment? Yet he had an ST since we moved to SMS

 

Are the 20+ we now get to watch the games here in Dubai Floaters? We all get back to as many games as we can and 8 of us have ST's...?

 

In this context it's just "people who might go to matches but don't all that often".

I agree with the curved bit on it and a 8000 expansion would suit us nicely and is a realistic price range. It would still make the stadium look nice without it looking like old trafford. Also we give the away fans about 2/3000 so that we could still have 38000 or something like that. COYR!!! COYS!!! :D :D :D :D :D
