Kingsland Red Posted 21 October, 2016 Share Posted 21 October, 2016 (edited) Back home after a great couple of days in Milan. Nice city, although we stayed around Piazza del Duomo and the canal area. A couple of observations I shall email the club's ticket office about: What was the passport / ID business with tickets all about ? No one checked our name or wanted to see our ID. Tickets were for sale at a kiosk outside the ground for the 'home' stands on the night and we noticed several Saints tops in the stand in front of us , the one opposite the tunnel. Seat numbers were totally irrelevant as we could sit anywhere across the second tier behind the goal. Finally, ( not a ticket office observation ) the ' health and safety' North Car Park type announcement was bizarre as all Saints fans exited,once Jose had run around a bit, via one single stairway which was not healthy or safe.

Matthew Le God Posted 21 October, 2016 Share Posted 21 October, 2016 If Inter Milan tell Saints ticket office something and then they don't enforce it, that isn't Southampton's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surman4no7shirt Posted 21 October, 2016 Share Posted 21 October, 2016 There are millions of laws in Italy. It's fairly common in Italy that these kind of regulations are made without any consolation. The parliament probably made the law and none of the clubs had the infrastructure to implement it, so the clubs pay lip service to it and then ignore it. On higher profile matches they probably check in problem turnstiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboy Posted 21 October, 2016 Share Posted 21 October, 2016 If Inter Milan tell Saints ticket office something and then they don't enforce it, that isn't Southampton's fault. Yep. Everyone should always believe everything they are told and should in no way investigate the voracity of their information:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Red Posted 21 October, 2016 Author Share Posted 21 October, 2016 Maybe therein lies the issues with restricting the numbers of supporters travelling and the nonsense about not being able to get in without a passport / ID - the Italians treat a law as merely a suggestion, we take them literally.

That my friend, is the reason we're leaving the EU, in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
