Pedro Posted 19 February, 2016 Share Posted 19 February, 2016 Just been and bought mine and was told only about 20 left, we are not taking an extra allocation apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 19 February, 2016 Share 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 Share Posted 19 February, 2016 The tickets will be involving all the tickets of Saints fans so best to remember that here guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 19 February, 2016 Share 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.

JRM Posted 19 February, 2016 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.JonB Posted 19 February, 2016 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Wolves is only because you come out in an enclosed space next to the away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 19 February, 2016 Share 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
