JamesSaints97 Posted 5 November, 2013 Posted 5 November, 2013 Where are people planning.on sitting Upper or Lower?
Griffo Posted 5 November, 2013 Posted 5 November, 2013 Upper will be much more likely to sit down than the lower, which will be stood.
teenagegsaint Posted 5 November, 2013 Posted 5 November, 2013 anybody who went last year.... what is the view like in the lower tier?
grantsaint Posted 5 November, 2013 Posted 5 November, 2013 Looking for someone to help me out with tickets? Travelling down from Scotland and would happily use someones season ticket numbers if they aren't planning on using them? PM me if you can help me out. Looking for 3 preferably.
dellboypete Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 anybody who went last year.... what is the view like in the lower tier? It was a cold dark and wet January night!! Sums it up - I was in the top tier and had most of the back 10 rows to myself - good view though! And a great second half

Travelling down from Scotland and would happily use someones season ticket numbers if they aren't planning on using them? PM me if you can help me out. Looking for 3 preferably. i think you'll be fine, they are on sale now to season ticket holders with 3 away games and on Friday to season ticket holders with one, as the game is on SKY and so expensive i think it will even make general sale
Berkshire Saint Posted 9 November, 2013 Posted 9 November, 2013 Got my tickets yesterday but just went on the tickets site and see we've apparently sold out already. Quite shocked by that given prices and it being on TV...wonder if we'll be able to get anymore.
Saint_clark Posted 9 November, 2013 Posted 9 November, 2013 Anyone who has spare tickets, I need 3. PM me or email me at saint.j.clark@live.co.uk

Quite shocked by that given prices and it being on TV...wonder if we'll be able to get anymore. Madness, why did we take such a small allocaton ? would have given some fans the chance to go to a London away day without all the hassle that goes with trying to get match tickets these days.
stevegrant Posted 11 November, 2013 Posted 11 November, 2013 Madness, why did we take such a small allocaton ? Based on past history. We didn't even sell out the smaller allocation there last season, it's £50 a ticket and it's on TV a week after a more popular London away game.
Griffo Posted 11 November, 2013 Posted 11 November, 2013 Looking for a spare ticket for a mate (preferably lower tier) if anyone has one.
Lets B Avenue Posted 11 November, 2013 Posted 11 November, 2013 Based on past history. We didn't even sell out the smaller allocation there last season, it's £50 a ticket and it's on TV a week after a more popular London away game. T/O told me this morning that we had taken the maximum allocation. I queried this, but he was adamant.
Saint Garrett Posted 12 November, 2013 Posted 12 November, 2013 I'm upper tier, will be standing. Should be a cracker, hopefully the guy is right and we have taken the full allocation! Doubt it though
stevegrant Posted 12 November, 2013 Posted 12 November, 2013 T/O told me this morning that we had taken the maximum allocation. I queried this, but he was adamant. He either wilfully lied to you, then, or was misled by someone else within the ticket office. I've just spoken to someone at the Chelsea ticket office, querying the article that was posted on their website last week about "extra Southampton tickets", he said that the tickets there were some internal returns, but confirmed that Saints had only requested an allocation of 1500 seats.

Proper ballache this as i was hoping to make it along due to living in london. Might do the home end for this one.
grantsaint Posted 12 November, 2013 Posted 12 November, 2013 Think home end have sold out!! Still looking for two tickets if anyone has any??

Bit of a joke but understandable considering the price and Sunday 4pm sky. Whatever happened to 'initial allocations'?
SaintMilesie Posted 13 November, 2013 Posted 13 November, 2013 On another note Steve, any tips on best pubs for drinking before the game ? was thinking round Clapham
stevegrant Posted 13 November, 2013 Posted 13 November, 2013 Loads of options, basically find anywhere that's on the District line and you'll be in easy reach of the ground. Clapham's fine, but you'd need to get a train to West Brompton to change onto the tube, and those trains are absolutely rammed at weekends as they go to Westfield.
The boy done well Posted 14 November, 2013 Posted 14 November, 2013 (edited) Due to a family commitment we cannot now do the Chelsea game. I therefore have 4 tickets available in the Lower Tier-1 adult and 3 concessions which are Under 18's and/or over 65's. Only want face value of course which is a total of £121.50 being £47 for the adult ticket and £23.50 for each concession plus the club's £1 per ticket admin fee. I can't PM at the moment so if interested please email me at rmatt48@gmail.com Tickets now taken Edited 15 November, 2013 by The boy done well

oldsarum Posted 18 November, 2013 Posted 18 November, 2013 have just emailed you in case you have any tickets left, was after OAP ticket, but also know someone who'd have the Adult ticket

Steve, There does'nt appear to be any trains to West Brompton next Sunday ?
stevegrant Posted 25 November, 2013 Posted 25 November, 2013 Probably engineering work on the Overground. Options to get to Fulham Broadway are from Wimbledon or Victoria.
JRM Posted 25 November, 2013 Posted 25 November, 2013 Anyone travelling up by train on Sunday there are engineering works between clapham and wimbledon., trains from Southampton taking 2 hours to Waterloo.
Saint Garrett Posted 25 November, 2013 Posted 25 November, 2013 Was planning on drinking around Earls Court, although thinking it maybe easier getting off at Clapham Junction
BedfordSaint Posted 25 November, 2013 Posted 25 November, 2013 Looking forward to this one, it's nice having an adult ticket and not panicking about getting a ticket or getting in with an under 16 one in the week leading up to the game! Plus I think we have a decent chance of going there and getting something on Sunday.
SaintMilesie Posted 25 November, 2013 Posted 25 November, 2013 Was planning on drinking around Earls Court, although thinking it maybe easier getting off at Clapham Junction Same, not so sure now as no trains up to West Bromton, I would guess its to far to walk from Clapham ?
Saint Garrett Posted 25 November, 2013 Posted 25 November, 2013 (edited) Same, not so sure now as no trains up to West Bromton, I would guess its to far to walk from Clapham ? Thought the same, but it's another half hour getting to Waterloo and coming back. Trains really are buggered this weekend! Not ideal. Might just have to go to Waterloo and then back to Earls Court on the district line. Just have to leave a bit earlier. Edited 25 November, 2013 by Saint Garrett

JamesSaints97 Posted 26 November, 2013 Author Posted 26 November, 2013 What blocks have we got in terms of seating?
BedfordSaint Posted 26 November, 2013 Posted 26 November, 2013 South Upper block 1 and South Lower block 1 = 1500.
Rut Posted 26 November, 2013 Posted 26 November, 2013 Same, not so sure now as no trains up to West Bromton, I would guess its to far to walk from Clapham ? It's 2.3 miles from Clapham Junc station to Stamford Bridge. So well walkable. Would depend on the weather I guess. Could always get a cab.
Joe Kirkup Posted 26 November, 2013 Posted 26 November, 2013 Couldn't make this one last year and didn't think I could make it this year but plans have changed so if anyone has a spare, would be very grateful. Please PM
Saint Garrett Posted 26 November, 2013 Posted 26 November, 2013 Did you go last season ? any idea where most saints fans drank Didn't go as it was midweek and couldn't get out of work, main reason I'm going this year despite it being £50 and on Sky!! I believe the majority of people drink around Earls Court, which is walking distance from the ground, or somewhere else on district line. Cab from Clapham to Earls Court is an option. Found a pub called the blackbird which looks decent.
SaintMilesie Posted 27 November, 2013 Posted 27 November, 2013 Blackbird looks good, could change at Clapham then jump on a train to Victoria good spoons on the concourse, then a couple of stops on the district line to Earls Court
Saint Garrett Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 For anyone who is looking to watch the Man Utd game, the Blackbird doesn't have sky, but there is a pub down the road called the Courtfield which does.
SaintMilesie Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Earls Court looks the best bet, both the Courtfield and Blackbird look good.
