mulletsaint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 I'm Dutch and I can tell you guys will be fine. As somebody mentioned their selection of players changes heavily every year, due to loans etc. Each year they lose their best players and need to rebuild their squad. (This season they lost their star players Traore, Pröpper, Vejinovic) I can't see Vitesse beat a way more solid Southampton anyway. Besides that, Koeman knows them very well, will be a big advantage. They sound a bit like us!
mulletsaint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 25,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GelreDome Can we attack the downhill goal in the second half please?
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Can we attack the downhill goal in the second half please?
VectisSaint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 You can use my ST if you want.. I'd love to go but I'm away in Liverpool unfortunately! . ffs, Brenda's even raiding our supporters now.
SO16_Saint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Welcome Jelle! What will the drinking be like in Arnham on the day of the game? Important first question!!
simo Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 I last went to Arnham when I was 12 with Cadets to do the march , even had a few beers! Anyone know what the travel club have planned as I wanna take my nipper!?

marc_saint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Important first question!! Absolutely! Would be great if it was good natured between both sets of fans and the police. Would rather not be kettled from pub to ground!
Chez Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 So do people think the away tickets will sell out quickly? very.
marc_saint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Joint 4th favs Thats before the 3rd place teams from the Champions league group stages drop down.
The9 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 If someone can explain to me how Norwich have managed to get into that graphic I'd be pleased...
Matthew Le God Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 (edited) Joint 4th favs None of those bookies show Saints as joint 4th favourites. Edited 17 July, 2015 by Matthew Le God
The9 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Joint 4th favs We're somewhere between joint 8th and joint 11th with most. How are we joint 4th favourites?
holepuncture Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Any ideas when tickets will go on sale? Will it be ST holders, then members, then general - or will there be a preference for ST holders + first leg attendees, then ST holders, then members, then general?
simo Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 None of those bookies show Saints as joint 4th favourites. Maybe I'm being thick but bet 365s betting only has 3 prices better than ours?
SO16_Saint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 If someone can explain to me how Norwich have managed to get into that graphic I'd be pleased... Because Stan Adams are clearly ??s

Maybe I'm being thick but bet 365s betting only has 3 prices better than ours? There are 7 teams at shorter odds than Saints with bet365, so that makes Saints joint 8th favourites (along with the others at 33/1). Edited 17 July, 2015 by Matthew Le God

I would expect aseaso tickets with away games first. Then season tickets and can't see it getting any further than that. Easy game to get to against decent opponent. No chance in the world will this make general sale.

Matthew Le God Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Ok maybe you've got me on a technicality ! There is no maybe about it. That is how you count!
The9 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Ok maybe you've got me on a technicality ! It's a technicality in the way that stopping breathing is a technicality. It is literally the way that counting works.
The9 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 There is no maybe about it. That is how you count! I am not liking how today is going. That's about three things now.
Matthew Le God Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 You've finally seen the light and ummm... joined the dark side!
The9 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Seeing as I'm on a roll, is this where I point out to Batman that Arnhem is twice as close as Inverness?
Matthew Le God Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Give it a try, whats the worst that can happen?
The9 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 You've finally seen the light and ummm... joined the dark side! I think you'll find that wherever we are, I was here ten years before you. I was making "pendant" jokes on Saints Forever when you still had to learn French.
hypochondriac Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 OK I've got the eurostar booked Thursday morning and a flight back Sunday night to Southampton. Just have to find somewhere to stay now and get 4 tickets! ( I have three season tickets do should be OK.)
St Marco Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Perfect for me as got £200 credit voucher with KLM. I wonder how many tickets we will get? If it is 25000 stadium I would guess around 5000 at least?
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Superb! I'm on holiday in Holland when we play. Just need to sort tickets and transport from Bergen Op Zoom.
Woody00028 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 This is still a winnable tie. Just because they get players from Chelsea doesn't mean squat really, you can't compare Baker and Brown to Fabregas and Costa. Indeed, you can't really compare then to Chalobah and Bamford even, really. Side note, any chance that there will be telly coverage of this?

Matthew Le God Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Was that on the internet or parchment & delivered by carrier pigeon?

Will it be ST holders, then members, then general - or will there be a preference for ST holders + first leg attendees, then ST holders, then members, then general? Ticketing will surely be done on last season's away attendance record. No idea what the cutoff would be to be guaranteed, but the 3000 allocations tended to go to 5+ aways, so would expect this one to be 8+ initially, probably with only one-day windows for each group.

Thanks chaps. Not sure if I have enough aways for this to get in the ticket queue early enough, I'll have to chance it and have a nice plan b in Amsterdam to fall back on!
LGTL Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 I'm a ST holder with every away on my account from last year, but unfortunately I'll be away. Start your bidding.... NOW

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 I've taken a leap of faith and bought plane tickets. Hoping I can get a match ticket somehow!
Chez Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 1200 tickets available apparently.just wondering if that number is as a result of my earlier posts (which I got from Googling away allocations at Vitesse league games) which have been `grabbed' from here and then tweeted or something you have seen officially mentioned? 1200 is certainly not many and with their games hardly ever selling out perhaps they might consider offering a larger allocation.
Chez Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 I'm a ST holder with every away on my account from last year, but unfortunately I'll be away. Start your bidding.... NOW an away UEFA game on it will perhaps benefit you should you need a ticket for a smaller ground or dare I say it the final...
Dark Munster Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 If someone can explain to me how Norwich have managed to get into that graphic I'd be pleased... Sucker bet for Norwich fans.

No nothing official. Though they only have to offer us 5% of the stadium. I dont know the precedent for larger away crowds in the ground, only what I have seen myself on twitter.
stevegrant Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 1200 is certainly not many and with their games hardly ever selling out perhaps they might consider offering a larger allocation. UEFA regulations say you only have to offer 5% of capacity to away fans, and from the photos it looks as if those fences are pretty much fixed.
