Pedro Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 Just been and bought mine and was told only about 20 left, we are not taking an extra allocation apparently.
Griffo Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 It's a joke. Saturday 3pm, easy enough to get to and cheap tickets.
Lets B Avenue Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 They took the full allocation last year and we didn't get close to selling them all.
The Cat Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 Thanks for the reminder, logged on and bought mine just in time.
JRM Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 They took the full allocation last year and we didn't get close to selling them all. this year we have only taken blocks 39 + 40, last year we also had 37 + 38, 38 was full 37 was quite empty (although half of the block was segregation netting). i've had a look on Stoke's website they are selling block 37 to there own fans but neither team are selling block 38 so there could be scope to get some more tickets.
niceandfriendly Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 The tickets will be involving all the tickets of Saints fans so best to remember that here guys
The9 Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 Also not surprised we're not taking the full allocation or allowing sales on the day like last season, when the 200-odd sales made on the day will have caused endless hassle for the ticket office when the allocation for Europa League matches was announced - not buying in advance, despite having proof of a perfectly valid ticket, was the difference between me getting Arnhem tickets on the first day and not.
The9 Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 It's a joke. Saturday 3pm, easy enough to get to and cheap tickets. I think you just have to accept that most people aren't interested and get over it.
JRM Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 I think you just have to accept that most people aren't interested and get over it. Aren't interested in what exactly? clearly a lot of people are "interested" in attending away games, we sold out 2k quickly for Swansea , and took big numbers to WBA where tickets were also reasonably priced. anyway there is now another 350 ish tickets on sale.
stevegrant Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 Aren't interested in what exactly? An away trip to Stoke specifically, I would guess. Given the prices, it's probably a ground most people have done before, but it's also one that most people might think "I've done that one, not bothered if I go there again". Everton and Liverpool are in that bracket for me, been a few times to each, never a particularly pleasant experience, even when we've won.

An away trip to a place people will have been loads of times isn't going to be any kind of draw for occasional fans. Of course having to put up with morons who get tanked up and try and tell people how they should support their team is quite the disincentive as well. I quite enjoy trips to Merseyside for all kinds of reasons, but I can live without them too.

St.JonB Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 Anyone recommend a good away trip to take my 10 year old to? Took him to Fulham a couple of years ago and we sat in the neutral end. He loved it but bit worried about other grounds.
ladysaint Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 Villa would be a good one and maybe the last time for a while.

Took him to Fulham a couple of years ago and we sat in the neutral end. He loved it but bit worried about other grounds. Why worried? I've been taking my nearly 14yo home and away since he was 6. When he was small he stood on the seat to see and sung his heart out. How he's lofty enough to see over everyone. WBA is a good & cheap reasonably close one for next season as is Arsenal. Villa is a rip off. Stoke is good value.

He loved it but bit worried about other grounds. Wolves and Millwall are the only places I've ever thought were remotely intimidating, a 10 year old should be fine anywhere though. Even Wolves is only because you come out in an enclosed space next to the away fans.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 19 February, 2016 Posted 19 February, 2016 It's easier with a nipper now as you can choose your seats. Of the games left , there'll be no issues at any of them . Leicester will be good as it'll be rocking and they're a pretty friendly bunch on the whole .

He loved it but bit worried about other grounds. My 10yo has started coming away more regularly this season. There aren't any grounds I wouldn't take him to and I really can't understand what you could possibly be worried about. Football fans have never routinely picked on little kids and in the current sanitised environment of the Premier League it certainly isn't going to start now. The worst you'll encounter is a few lairy lads and some bad language but then you get that at every football ground from non league up.

I suppose it's best to chose seats at the front?
Mowgli Posted 20 February, 2016 Posted 20 February, 2016 Worst away day by far! You obviously didn't try the Staffordshire oatcakes....!!
The Cat Posted 20 February, 2016 Posted 20 February, 2016 Not worried about their fans; just some of ours! I suppose it's best to chose seats at the front? We were back row for Chelsea and a few rows away at Norwich and both were fine. Makes no odds as far as I'm concerned.

Each to their own at the end of the day, 'The Cat' and 'View From The Top' clearly have a more relaxed approach to parenting than I do. I've seen some pretty unsavoury things from Saints fans at away games, the 'he's got a Mars bar on his head' incident at MK Dons being a prime example.

In no way can a Mars Bar be classified as "savoury"
Mattio Posted 23 February, 2016 Posted 23 February, 2016 Absolutely. In no way can a Mars Bar be classified as "savoury" Does plastic not count as savoury?
hutch Posted 23 February, 2016 Posted 23 February, 2016 Absolutely. In no way can a Mars Bar be classified as "savoury" That depends on the fat you fry it in.
