Confirmed as a 12.30 kick off on the Saturday. Pompey are at Spurs, also a 12.30 kick off on the Saturday 😂

Can't understand that one at all. They must be confident the train strike putting the 6.57 onto official coaches instead

Truly mental. I remember last time

They'll probably be something like 10,000 rival fans travelling up together...what could go wrong....?

Probably. But different story on the trains.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's planned striking action the day of the game so there will be no repeat Battle of Waterloo

Be surprised if Plod doesn't look for this to be addressed and one game rearranged.

Will we see Saints take the A3? Pompey trying to infiltrate the M3?

The battle of Fleet Services or fans running all over the BP/M&S garage with skanky toilets at the top of the A3 should be fun.

657? TCWTB? Pah, we've got bigger fish to fry with Lincoln's 617 squadron rolling into town in a couple of weeks (used to be the 'Transit' mob back in the day!) - looks like they've got ACWAD

Big allocation, just a shame it's lunchtime kick off with no trains 

Skates have nearly 9000 for their trip to Spurs 

[Turkish]

Millwall at home as well 3pm kick off.

I expect Millwall, Pompey and Palace will be join forces to have any chance of facing the fearsome saints mob.

I prefer the pizza express at Fleet services personally, get a few vouchers and treat yourself 

[Pilchards]

Gonna be a changed team.

[JRM]

If the train strike somehow gets called off before then we also have the problem of engineering works....from Southampton to London trains are diverted up via Havant so we really will get to travel with the Skates 

 

[alehouseboys]

They really haven’t thought this through, have they…almost like they’re willing something to happen.

sold out already by the looks of it

 

[davefizzy14]

I personally think this is not a bad draw for us We can rotate due to the amount of games over Xmas and new year.

Yeah if your customer has already bought it will show unavailable until they go on general sale 

[Pamplemousse]

Only a handful of tickets left by the looks of things. Good effort considering the time and travel difficulties

They didn't put the whole 3,808 on sale straight away, the end block on the right (towards middle of pitch) has been held back, hopefully they'll release those first rather than the restricted view ones in blocks R, S, T which also haven't been made available yet 

[billyb333]

A few hundred of the best seats Saints were allocated now for sale on the Saints ticket website.

Bit of a joke they kept those back whilst we had to sell restricted view seats in other blocks first. Can't see us selling this out but should have over 3000 which isn't bad going.

Bet you the skates give it large about how they took 9000 to North London whilst the scummers only took 3000 to South London on the same day.

Of course, will be another one of their boasts that will go down in folklore , over time the 9000 will become 12000 and our 3000 will be 2000 and it will be hailed as an example of how much better their fanbase is

That's if they can even enter the turnstiles, not sure they'll be used to the barcode scanners.

And good luck to TCWTB getting his instrument in through their metal scanners
