brmbrm Posted 28 August, 2019 Share Posted 28 August, 2019 what are our fixtures the weekend before? Our reserves lose/draw/win with someone we don't give a shot about, saving the first eleven to do some mega-****-kicking. please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 28 August, 2019 Share Posted 28 August, 2019 This is what will happen. They will come out guns blazing, most likely they'll dominate, they may even score. Second half, they tire, we rip them apart, we end up winning by at least three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, I remember a December game there a few seasons ago where I got hold of a ticket no problem (was a ST holder with 0 aways).

Stud mark of doom Posted 28 August, 2019 Share Posted 28 August, 2019 Anyone else spot that on the official draw programme on Sky, there was not the slightest acknowledgement that this was a tie of any note.

I’m still hurting from the 4-1 defeat at Fratton in the PL in 2005 when we didn’t turn up! I’ll be nervous but we need to win this one! Who the fook is laughing now!

SNSUN Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 They're so much better than us, we could pull off a real giant-killing here. And at mighty Fartton Park too. We should be ever so thankful to play at the World's best ground, especially after years of being unable to play there due to our most unfortunate success. Oh how we will urinate on their seats as a peaceful sign of respect, oh how we will jovially nut TCWTB as a sign of friendship, oh how we were burn an effigy of Michael Eisner as a ritualistic celebration of his involvement with the mighty Skates. I expect tickets to be around the £300 mark for this game, a price worth paying to watch the world's greatest team in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 Of course, when I stop going we get them... No chance of getting tickets now.

Saints foreva Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 We completely bottled the last two games against them, having the far superior team but failing to win.

SKD Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 Now we shall see what this squad is made of. On one hand I’m glad it’s this year and not last (as I think the likes of ings, Adams hoj Ralph etc) will be up for it. On the other, it’s a shame it’s not 4 years ago as it could have been double figures. We’ll beat them, but if it’s not by 4/5 it’ll be disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 Dont away teams you get a greater % of tickets for cup games? 10% in EFL these days, we 'should' get around 1900 but that would mean segregating the away end which I can't really see happening for this fixture. So I reckon we'll either get all of it or nothing. A 'bubble' mid-week will be near on impossible with too many road restrictions needing to be set up throughout a working day so I can seriously see the OB suggesting no tickets sold to away fans which their club would jump on. Whatever, don't f*ck this up Saints, Ralph's legend status could be confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 Will certainly be harder to get tickets than for Spurs away My guess is season ticket holders plus 9/10 aways minimum surelyThey may give priority to those who went to Fulham this week.

JRM Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 Don't think tickets will be a problem at all, last time was easy and that was a Saturday bubble, the logistics of a midweek one will put a lot off. In fact if you don't live in Southampton getting home that night will be a challenge. A week of rivalries will be good playing Bournemouth on the Friday night as a warm up to this one. We haven't won at Fratton in a competitive fixture since 1984, long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 Great draw, this is what it's all about! This is a reverse to what happened in 2010 really, when we faced them at St Marys. They were struggling at the bottom end of the PL, had been struggling for a couple of years. We were on the up in league 1, had huge momentum behind us and Lambert scoring... Yet the extra quality they had at that time still showed, unfortunately. Even though we did put in a shift, they just picked us off in the end as we tired and left gaps. We've got better quality than them all over the pitch now though, probably more quality than they had in their team in 2010 if I’m brutally honest, so let them have their barnstorming start and see where we are after 60 mins.

LGTL Posted 29 August, 2019 Share Posted 29 August, 2019 It’ll be a frantic start and won’t surprise me if we’re 1 down after 20 minutes. Surely the, lets be honest, huge gulf in quality will tell in the end. Losing this is just not an option. Interesting to see logistically if they can do a bubble, it’s a huge operation for Hants OB who have said previously that they couldn’t afford to fund another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the Portsmouth sc*mbags The last time the 60s and 70s boys have their final say eh- this fixture shouldn’t be played for another 5 years at least right. In all seriousness though it’s 2019, no one is gonna go out there for a scrap will be safe as any other games really- one would only expect more intimidating chants at worst- and that is how it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
