Pat from Poole Posted 20 September, 2016 Share Posted 20 September, 2016 So then, based on their attendance against Beer Sheva, we could have half the attendance for our game there! Pomps fans would be distraught if this were to happen..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Though I guess that may need 8,000 Inter fans not to turn up who went to the Beer Sheva game. Possible, I guess...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat from Poole Posted 20 September, 2016 Share Posted 20 September, 2016 I bet there are a few people who bought tickets using a mates STs who now face the dilemma of whether to buy a second ticket or risk it...I suspect there will be a few spares knocking around. But which ticket would offer the better view in the ground??!!?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 20 September, 2016 Share Posted 20 September, 2016 We won't sell all 8700 but great news we've got the tickets so anyone who wants to go now can. seems strange that Saints are delaying putting them on general sale which is by far the biggest group of people still waiting to buy. Assume they are hoping to cash in on a few buying memberships. as flight costs have gone up it is left to the more resourceful fans to find a way out there, plenty of reasonably priced flights to cities that are a couple of hours by train to Milan, if anything a great opportunity to make more of a trip of it. Should imagine the club are speaking to the operators about running another flight on official trip. When was the last time we had 8700 as an away following (not counting cup finals) ?

stevegrant Posted 20 September, 2016 Share Posted 20 September, 2016 Fair play to the club. Makes the rush this morning seem a little daft now though, Not especially. They still had to establish the definite demand by selling those tickets - if they'd only sold a few hundred at the point at which they went on sale to all season ticket holders, they could quite reasonably have decided that the 5,000 would be sufficient.

Fair comment, but based on the larger eligibility and rate of current sale, they would have had a fairly good idea of what to expect, hence the initial negotiations to get more.

Sour Mash Posted 20 September, 2016 Share Posted 20 September, 2016 You can still fly from London to Turin for under £100. just have to get the train to Mlan. Loads of towns and cities around northern Italy with airports, Italian trains are quite cheap as well, so should still be options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 20 September, 2016 Share Posted 20 September, 2016 Wouldn't surprise me if we all end up in the middle tier. The number would fit. The other thing is that Inter will get all of the Saints details at the same time, and we won't have sent them the details yet because we've still got tickets left and haven't announced an "off sale" date, so basically there's no reason to differentiate between any of the tranches of eligibility.
