SFCRedandWhite Posted 24 November, 2014 Share Posted 24 November, 2014 I just bought my tickets, and I'm in the upper tier. What's going on there? Have we got to the point where they are now selling to top tier (even allocation in both including the 800 tickets) or are the +800 in the top tier by themselves?

oldsarum Posted 24 November, 2014 Share Posted 24 November, 2014 original allocation was lower tier online tickets lower tier now sold out, hence why now selling upper tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably news to Saints fans...has anyone seen that, looks like he's making it up as he goes along! Should do tho', no mean feat for a midweek 400-mile round trip a few days before the festivities, 'er indoors' stocking will be a little less full this year!

SFC Chris Posted 26 November, 2014 Share Posted 26 November, 2014 Managed to book a room at the Holiday Inn, a queen size bed, a double bed and a double sofa bed (room must be massive) with breakfast thrown in for £45.00 - chuffed with that. Only £95.75 for travel, match ticket and hotel coming down from the West of Scotland, hopefully we'll have a result to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 26 November, 2014 Share Posted 26 November, 2014 Not received any tickets yet. Booked on Wednesday. Anyone else in the same boat? I got mine the day they went on sale and they only arrived yesterday. The club seem to post the tickets in batches these days rather than as soon as the order's been received. Probably makes it a bit more efficient for them, but it's pretty frustrating as a customer, especially if you've bought a load of tickets that you want to distribute beforehand.

100%Red&White Posted 26 November, 2014 Share Posted 26 November, 2014 2,600 in the lower tier so we must have around half of the top tier (not including the newer corner section) at the mo with 1,400 up there. I guess the Police ideally wouldn't want home fans above the aways so a good chance we may be offered another couple of blocks if needed. This is set up for a big old fashion cup atmosphere, they'll make a racket and hopefully our lot will be bouncing around from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayblade Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 Hi all. Sheffield United fan here in peace. Read through this thread and you'll be allocated the top tier of the away end, the capacity of that stand is not far of 4,300. I understand we gave you another allocation taking it up to 4,300. No clubs have managed to fill the top tier this season, therefor the bottom tier hasn't been used at all this season. If you manage to sell 4,000 i see no reason why we wouldn't give you another couple of thousand especially as cup runs bring good money in. Regarding the game, i don't think its gonna be as far between as fans think, Clough really knows how to get his team up for a cup game, as we've seen last season. Southampton flying high in the Premier League, but we've seen it all before, no disrespect to Southampton, but Blackpool was 4th in the league at the same point the season they went down. All in all it should be a good close encounter, but I'm predicting Sheffield United 2-1 Southampton, possible going into ET. Hope the ones that are travelling have a safe journey to and from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the ones that are travelling have a safe journey to and from the ground. To be fair, I don't think many believe it'll be easy, wouldn't expect anything less than a battle at this stage of the cup but you have to accept there'll be optimism. We're playing well (under par at Villa), second in the country playing a side 2 divisions below, let's be honest, we should edge it. But life ain't always like that. I like Bramall Lane, modernised but still the feel of a traditional ground, it will be a top atmosphere, all the ingredients for a feisty cup tie. Good luck with getting out of L1...I always liked Tony Currie back in the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnecessary and inaccurate comparison to Blackpool who had a flirt with fourth place after about three games in August, not quite the same as being second place at the end of November. We're punching above our weight, but nothing we have achieved is a fluke. We're very good right now. No Saints fan will take this game for granted, Clough has a decent record in cup football and anything can happen in a cup tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CylonKing Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 Being Saints fans, we never take any game for granted. I still expect us to lose most games, even this season.

Most of the people I know from London Saints are staying up there and we've got 39 going, certainly the hotel i'm staying in should be full of Saints fans Plenty of places for good Real Ale before the game too, which I know you will enjoy several good pubs in Kelham Island area worth visiting, and several Ale pubs I've found in town centre that open until gone midnight after the game.
