Saints U 18 v Spurs U 18 next month

[spyinthesky]

Could possibly be the first game at the revamped WHL with a crowd limit of 30,000!!

[Spitz]

Yes, mentioned here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47502366

 

I'm almost tempted, first competitive game at the new stadium!

Doesn't sound like Saints fans will be in with much of a shout for tickets...

Anyone seen any indication that away fans can buy at all?

I contacted Saints ticket office before the weekend, so far they haven't bothered to reply to me.

 

Everything looks right now that only Spurs fans have access to tickets.

Southampton Under-18s will be the first visitors to the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday.

 

Paul Hardyman’s side will face their Spurs counterparts at 3pm in an Under-18 Premier League clash that will represent the first test event at the new ground.

 

The game, which had initially been due to take place at the Tottenham training ground last week, will have a capacity of approximately 30,000 general admission tickets reserved for home supporters.

That's right unfortunately, Spurs season ticket holders could apply in a ballot for them , no tickets available for anyone else.

They should have given us a small allocation in usual away end to test out the facilities, we could definitely have sold a couple of hundred.

 

Hope the u18s get a win up there to spoil the party.

Any idea how many tickets sold?

I think it's pretty unfair on our lads to have to play in a stadium of that size with none of their own fans there to support them !

Would be nice to be the last club to win at the old White Hart Lane and the first club to win at the new one!

Kick off in 15 minutes. Any chance of a stream I wonder...?

Edit: that didn't last long

Saints 2 nil down after 20 mins. Hey ho.

[It's There]

Looks a fantastic stadium. I wonder how the lads felt playing there! At least we scored (3:1 loss)

Yep, lovely stadium, fantastic 'home' end, that's what £1billion gets ya!

 

Apparently, It's cost them £60m just to play at Wembley that's 2 x St Mary's Stadiums!

Eh? Neither mate.

Looks like there was a couple of hundred Saints fans there in the away section. Friends and family of the U18 squad and staff I guess.

Tried until I was blue in the face to get a ticket somehow, but nothing.

 

Some websites made out it was an epic win for them, but it must help when it's the first game in your new stadium and no away fans are allowed!
