More likely a studio than a bedsit.

Just been looking at a thread on the UI talking about how plans for safe-standing at St Mary's this summer could become a victim of cost-cutting after relegation. I would have thought any new rail seating would already be ordered and on their way if they were serious with only a few weeks til end of season.

I'd be surprised tbh if relegation delayed it, loads of clubs in the Championship have it. It can't be that expensive surely.

Expensive when your income has been drastically hit and priorities lay elsewhere. But as 'Pat from Poole' suggests, if the club still go-ahead with it, they may see an opportunity to finally rid Blocks 1/2/3 of ‘rif-raf’ standing and being feisty in front of the boxes. With crowds down and very likely far less season ticket holders in the Championship, it may be easier to relocate Chapel regulars and the Family Stand to the Itchen North and Northam and put safe standing in the Chapel.

 

Edit: Do the rules say they would they still need to provide a percentage of safe standing for away fans in the Northam?

I’m of the opinion they’ll close blocks 1-3 for the championship. what’s the need of spending extra for security when we won’t sell out? won’t be a huge loss either way, it’s become sh*t. 

 

Cliche but they should bring in SS for top half of the Chapel and Northam in the championship. take it out of semmens salary and wages of players who’ve done nothing all season.

In an ideal world.

Wouldn't be a particularly good look for the stadium with all those new shiny-red rail-seats in amongst all the pink ones!

I’m sure we could get them in pink if that would fit better.
