Sour Mash Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 So what's to stop 100 AC Milan fans registering on the website and buying tickets for the game? Having something better to do with their evening I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 Well, having been to Israel the Forest fan will have a purchase history so will be fine for a ticket to Milan then! The bit that baffled me was the saints chap who went down and gave a load of verbal abuse to the Forest fan for being disrespectful (not the words he used) to Saints. Realised no-one else was bothered and skulked back off again. Bizarre! Won't help him for Prague though - if he's not an ST holder it doesn't matter if he's been to Midtjylland or Israel, he's not priority over ST holders. As for the bloke having a go, well, who'd have thought it (oh yeah, me), we have a few nobheads in the away following. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of evidence of it on this thread...

The same reason we don't get Skates turning up to Saints games for a ruck, but somehow it's worth the hassle for a development team cup game at St Mary's when they've probably never watched their kids' side before...

The9 Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 Names on tickets to match ID is standard for all Italian games, having to have prior purchase history isn't ever the case for any of their matches though as far as I'm aware. Names on tickets is an Italian regulation, prior purchase history is a Saints requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviepeevie Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 Just bought my Prague ticket, slight problem in I am taking the wife to Prague, who is not a Season ticket holder. She is a member and does a lot of home games under her name (member), and a lot of aways under both hers and other peoples names (depending on ticket availability). I know that is frowned upon but that is just the way it is with a lot of people using others rights to buy and then going in their place. I'm not moaning that she can't buy a ticket yet, it is correct to reward season ticket holders first, at the moment I'm just impressed I got permission to buy my ticket, without getting her one. We were hoping to do the unethical of buying under someone elses name, but with ticket collection rules we don't think it is worth the risk. I'm just wondering/asking if other people will be travelling to Prague and trying to watch the game in a bar. I have permission that as long as she is in a bar with at least 1 other saints fan I can leave her there and go to the game myself. If it does go to members we will buy her a ticket but I really want to be able to leave her in a safe place with other saints fans. Bar decisions can be made later, just a bit of show of hands of anyone who will be watching in a bar and not going to the game would be appreciated.

Awesome thank you for replying, makes me feel slightly less guilty. Still can't believe i'm allowed to go as long as can find other saints fans in a bar. Hopefully there will be a thread nearer the time involving bar discussions. Can't wait going to be amazing.

The9 Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 You've lost me. Just pointing out the general weirdness that fans of rival clubs only tend to fight when there's a direct footballing reason for them to do so, rather than just turning up to the other team's games when they're not involved at all. So Milan fans don't generally pitch up for Inter games looking for trouble even though they're right there in the city. Similarly the Skates don't generally turn up at our home games when we're not playing them even though it's only ever 20 miles away. However, give them a reserve team match at St Mary's (that none of them would usually go to) and suddenly there's trouble ready to happen. As you say, they've usually got something better to do. (But not when there's a loose footballing excuse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 I'm no clearer. Saints ticket requirement appears to be preventing something that is very unlikely to happen anyway - that being a bunch of people unconnected to either club wanting to come along just to create trouble - as that's something that hardly ever happens in football. Compare that to yer Skate yob who never goes to their home reserve games, never mind the away reserve ones, who can somehow find it in himself to pop over to St Mary's for a nothing reserve cup game he'd never normally have any interest in, and how unlikely it would be that he'd turn up for any other Saints game, even though it's just as good an opportunity for him (and his mates) to get at Saints fans.

You mean like the Skates did when we played City at home a couple of seasons back? Jumped off the train and headed up to below bar. Though by all accounts they must've been late for their train back as they had to run back to central to catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 7 October, 2016 Share Posted 7 October, 2016 Then that needs to be communicated. However still don't see why they can't sell tickets on general sale and still take passport numbers etc. That way they'll all have full clarity on whose buying tickets.

Though by all accounts they must've been late for their train back as they had to run back to central to catch it. Were they away to Bournemouth (or more likely Yeovil, Exeter, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth or Torquay) by any chance? As I say, it's rare, but clearly leaving the opportunity for others to get in the ground with Saints/Inter fans for a reason other than just watching the match is the kind of thing the club are wary of. And no, I'm not suggesting Skates. Edited 7 October, 2016 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does that baffle you more than the fact there was someone wearing a Forest shirt at a football match that wasn't involving them or even in the same competition? There would be no problem with someone watching a game as someone who supports Saints as their second team or is maybe going along for the trip with their mates.
