It should be. Get Saints to chuck in free travel and lets take the full allocation up there.
Not sure what difference free travel would make - half the people that do away games like Sunderland don't live near enough to Southampton to use it, and many will simply be put off my the early start and length of journey. Free match ticket would be nice though.

Nice one, pub lunch and football.

 

LOL exactly. I know ticket monies is peanuts nowadays, but its a major part of the overall product so its a shame it gets thye chicken feed treatment.

 

Saints fans going the length of the country, twice in less than a calendar month, for a lunchtime kickoff is a disgrace and suggests the football authorities do not even consider the away fans in anyway at all when doing the big money deals with the broadcasters.

 

Enjoy your lunch, and the cash that will remain in your pocket!

I am going with Legod third coming. Fortunately we are getting the 8.10 train from Kings x which gets in at 11.40 so barring delays should get to the game.Just hope we win as we have to wait for 5.30pm train to return. !! Would be nice if club did something for those fans going as it is a bloody long way and for the third time this season !!

Oh well. Hull here I come.

 

Toying with the same idea myself.

 

Back in Leigh that week, but flying out early Sunday morning, so Sunderland in the pub at lunchtime is the only realistic option for me .... but a cold wet winter's night in UK's 2017 City of Culture ... what more could one ask for :rolleyes:

 

Mrs EoA may not quite see it that way though :?

Nice cheap tickets - and same at Hull a few days before...but what incentive is there to go when live on TV?

Still reckon anyone who makes the trip should be given automatic first shout on semi and or final tickets - like the old voucher scheme of yesteryear.

I went for the LC game, and wasn't impressed with the seats now allocated to away fans. Park & ride was OK though - but pubs are a bit of a distance from the ground for a pre-match bevvy.

Not sure about this - cheer them on in the mob or sit at home on my own watching a laptop? Seems like a no brainer to me...
