spyinthesky Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 After todays unexpected and most welcome win at the League leaders, I wonder how many this will add to the attendance on Tuesday night? Still think the club have got the pricing wrong. I will go at £18 but would have taken all my family at £10 a pop so £40 plays £18 That said really looking forward to watching MOTD tonight. Well done Saints but potential banana skin v Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 I'd be tempted to put Osvaldo into the game vs Bristol City. He seems concerned about not having scored for Saints yet (re: his tweet earlier) so he should be able to get that monkey off his back vs Bristol City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 Will be interesting to see if we keep any of the 1st XI.

JRM Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 i went down the ground this morning and got a ticket for this, against my better judgement as it is a rip off, they have cuirrently sold about 5000 ticket according to the chap there, going to be a small crowd as can't see many bothering to come from Bristol. Serves the club right to ridiculous over pricing of the game, but shame as it is such a missed opportunity to get new fans in , and allow loyal saints who can't afford Premier league prices to bring the family along to a game. would imagine the team will be like Barnsley, anyone who isn't getting a game at the moment like Ramirez, Yoshida, Davis, Cork will play.

Only 5,000 sold at this late stage!!! Embarrasing Shows whoever decided the ticket pricing policy is not in touch with reality I thought Bristol City would bring a good following but they have only asked for an initial allocation of 1,000 and not sure how sales are going. I think we may struggle to make 8,000 although the result today may help. I do hope that if we progress and get another home tie some degree of realism will prevail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope that if we progress and get another home tie some degree of realism will prevail unfortunatelty in the long run we need to have some embarrassingly small crowds to give the club and football in general a wake up call, bring back some sense to pricing. it makes me laugh when the new tv deal was announced it was calculated each club could reduce prices by half (or something like that) and would still be better off over all. the club waste vast sums of cash (Forren as an example), it wouldn't hurt them to put some consideration to the less well off fans for games like this and charge a tenner. i reckon we'll have 8500-9000 there on Tuesday and the place will be like a morgue atmosphere wise.

JRM Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 why are you embarrassed? because it will look ridiculous with 26000 empty seats in the ground as the game is being played out. it is not that fans aren't interested, or can't be bothered, if the price was right we could get 20k , unfortunately our support will look utterly shlt instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 I think 20k would be pushing it even if the game was a fiver. 5,000 is a poor showing though - I'm back up north now so can't really do it but I wish I was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 anyone remember Yeovil at home big crowd at st marys ? and Lincoln at home at the Dell when people were in the aisles , also recall a full house for Huddersfield at home 2nd leg of 2nd round. anyway hope we get a win this and through to the last 16, will start to get interesting with luck of the draw would love a good cup run and assumingwe rest players it can't really be considered a distraction.

david in sweden Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 it's different sort of game.. against an L1 side. For a start - expect to see most of the same squad get a run-out (as in Barnsley game). though I agree Osvaldo getting on the score sheet would do his confidence a world of good...despite the opposition.

Toon Saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Matt Targett will be involved on Tuesday according to his cousin on twitter. Makes sense if Fox still injured and not wanting to over-exert Shaw. As others have said, would like to see Osvaldo played for 60 mins or so to get among the goals prior to Palace game. My team would be: >>>>>>>Davis Chambers Maya Hooiveld Targett >>>>>Cork Davis >>JWP Ramirez Isgrove >>>>>>Osvaldo Hope to see the likes of Rowe, Sinclair, and Reed get some more minutes as well.

SNSUN Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Probably head down to this on my own. With Palace, that'll be Two games in a week! Thank God for Annual Leave. Two games in one week is almost heard of for me - bloody shift work. I think the problem attendance-wise is the knowledge that the team will probably be completely different. That doesn't bother me, it's a team game. I'm looking forward to seeing what the youngsters can do against a team underperforming in League One. (Although it must still be noted they did knock out Premier League opposition in the last round, in the form of our rivals next Saturday. Psychological advantage if we win, I wonder?) Davis Chambers Yoshida Jos Fox Cork Davis JWP Ramirez Guly Lambert I doubt that will be the team, but it's what I'd play. Possibly even Isgrove starting in Guly's place, although Lambert starting depends on how knackered he is from recent exploits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 We might as well play Lee, looked OK in yesterday's U21 game (clearly injury was not why he didn't travel yesterday, even though he was taken off injured during the week).

I'd worry about starting Barnard - if he scored a brace or more against what is effectively a team from his level, people will start claiming he should be in the first team on Saturday! Hells no. I think he's been frozen out for good, and we'd be more likely to start Rowe, Sinclair, Guly or Lee up front than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 23 September, 2013 Share Posted 23 September, 2013 (edited) I think we'll be putting better players than those on the bench at least. We'll be wanting to win so at least a couple of first teamers will be ready for action if needs be. Don't forget the first team were back in training yesterday morning. Do you? Why? The bench for the 5-1 away win over Championship team Barnsley in the 2nd round was... 01 K Davis 02 Clyne 03 Yoshida 06 Fonte 13 Fox 08 S Davis 10 Ramirez 18 Cork 27 Isgrove (Rowe - 72' ) 09 Rodriguez (Reed - 81' ) 24 Mayuka (Sinclair - 90' ) Substitutes 25 Gazzaniga 16 Ward-Prowse 22 Chambers 39 Sinclair 35 Stevens 37 Rowe 38 Reed I think most (if not all) of the starting XI for the Crystal Palace game next Saturday won't be involved at all tomorrow and it'll be fringe players in the starting XI and youngsters on the bench. Lambert, Lallana, Boruc, Shaw, Clyne, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Osvaldo, Lovren etc all probably won't feature and they shouldn't need to. The starting XI from the Barnsley team is more than strong enough to beat a League One team, as they should in the last round vs. a Championship side.
