trousers Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 Anyone thinking of going to this? Just checked ticket availability... Not many left but seems they're only selling tickets in the Itchen at the moment. Perhaps they'll open up another stand if more of us try to buy tickets?

Badger Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 What chance this turning into a punch up like the youth fixture a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_TOAST Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 1 hour ago, Badger said: What chance this turning into a punch up like the youth fixture a few years ago? Probably quite likely given their fans need to buy tickets through the Saints site and are just advised which block to buy, but can buy tickets anywhere. And the supposed away block is just 2 blocks away from home fans block being used. I think the club are underestimating the fixture a bit. Don't recall a punchup at the youth match anyway, they were on the other side of the stadium. Should be fun Weds anyway, any chance to abuse the Skates got to be taken.

Only remember a single lad trying his luck in darting towards us; their fans were placed directly opposite, so it was a bloody long trek round. He made it about halfway before bottling it (or the stewards catching him?) if memory serves. Anyway, yes - I've rounded up a small group for this one. Keep meaning to head over to Totton for some matches but life's been conspiring against. Seemed worth the extra effort given where it's being played, the opponents and the situation in the league!

Keep meaning to head over to Totton for some matches but life's been conspiring against. Seemed worth the extra effort given where it's being played, the opponents and the situation in the league! Your memory is correct although I wouldn't say he was 'darting'. He was slowly ambling across several blocks of empty seats for ages and then one of our lot started walking towards him. The Pompey fan got slower and slower as he saw he was getting near the Saints fans and fell into the arms of 2 stewards when he was about halfway across the empty stand. Then the Saints fan, who'd gone out to meet him, spat on him as he was being led away, which was a bit unnecessary. But it certainly couldn't be described as a 'punch up'. That FA Youth Cup game was the second time I saw a Saints team beat a Pompey team 7-0. The first time was when our first teams met in the John Milkins Testimonial at Fratton Park and poor John Milkins was in goal for Pompey. There certainly won't be any hooliganism at a women's football match but there is a chance the result might be another 7-0.

Maybe if it sold out late on yesterday they need to organise the necessary stewarding cover numbers etc before opening another block for sale.

Does seem a tad odd to put block 13 on sale which now means that Pompey fans in block 12 will likely be sandwiched between two blocks of Saints fans. Hey ho...
