southamptonfclegend Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 To be fair we didn't even sell all the tickets for the DC away leg of the play off final, you could walk up and buy one. And that was to get into the Prem, not to avoid L1. I think there will be plenty of tickets to go round. yet we still managed to sell more than Derby at SMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 850 already sold. If it carries on at this rate I'd imagine the first allocation will sell out tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castro Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 Was going to catch the train but as StuRomseySaint said earlier in the thread, public transport is no good that day. I have just checked and If you catch the 1st train out of Soton you don't get to Nottingham until after the KO (no direct trains) ! I doubt it very much due to the cost but do you think the club would lay on a football special!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 I doubt it very much due to the cost but do you think the club would lay on a football special!? Not a chance. The club will lay on as many coaches as are required, but I'm not even sure it's possible to charter a train - and on a Sunday, there's likely to be engineering works getting in everyone's way as well.

Fans aren't gonna have much more than 2 weeks to plan transport, travel etc. (But it's ok, it's a bank holiday weekend so piece of cake, thanks a lot football clubs!)

I'm half dreading that last minute McGoldrick winner that keeps us up and sends them down (I predicted this three months ago to annoy my brother in law that comes to Saints games, slates McGoldrick, but is a massive Forest fan) as I'm normally like zeberdee when we score and that could **** my knee up for keeps.

'dover Saint Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 For those people buying more than 1 ticket, I thought it was currently 1 Forest ticket per season ticket - Right? Also, who the hell shells out £20 for membership these days - it was worth it when 32k were sold every week but i cannot see the benefit since relegation!

It is definately one ticket per season ticket, but I think you'll find many on here are getting tickets for either other season ticket holders or are using season tickets from people who are not going to the game for other supporters.

Nexstar Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 http://www.footballgroundguide.com/nottingham_forest/ According to this 4,750 fans can fit into the away end, so if we sell these fast enough then we could be looking at an extra 2,500 odd.

But they're only obliged to give visiting teams a certain proportion of the stadium's total capacity (10% capped at 3,000?) and since they'll certainly be looking to sell out the rest of the ground, there's no prospect that we'll be given any more than the minimum.

de-fence Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 No it doesn't. If you go shopping in Tesco 10 times and Asda 10 times. I go shopping in Tesco 20 times. Who do you think will get more Tesco Clubcard points? You are not a customer of SFC when you attend away games, so why should you get priority over their customers? If you are someone who is a home AND away season ticket holder then of course you should get priority, but there are plenty of tickets to ensure that STH's will not be dissapointed. Tough sh*t if you don't have a Season Ticket, one of the 'perks' in the T's&C's when buying a Season Ticket is priority for away games. Once again.... Tough Sh*t Very possibly THE most ridiculous argument I've ever read. And I think you know it. Hence the multiple 'Tough sh*ts' Why do you keep referring to football fans as customers? When someone asks you who you support do you say 'O I'm a Southampton customer.' Of course you f*cking don't. Because although that may be the case its not the reason we go to football. We go to support the team! Not the f*cking bank balance. Its true that STH give more money to the club than the IMO more diehard who go to 15 home games and 15 away (my situation). I live in Epsom (about 70 miles away) and have Saturday school and although I have tried having a ST (last season) it just doesnt work as I can only make somewhere like 15 games. A waste of money for me personally (and before you say it, yes I prioritise my finances over that of my football club). So having made the trips to support the team at Doncaster, Derby, Cardiff, Swansea etc, isn't it fair I get to support them at the most important away game of the season. But thats not really the point and I hate 'I'm a better fan than you arguments' just the same as everyone else. So anyway, back to the point. Away fans give their support. Valuable support that earns the teams points. So as you say we would already be relegated if it wasn't for the STHs, but its not unfair to say we probably would already relegated if it wasn't for our away fans. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, you win the prize and definitely are the bestest. Stu is right. ST holders get priority and deservedly so, unless you think the ticket office should spend fifteen minutes per fan explaining that they "live in Epsom, can't afford this, and I would but, and I've done this and and and and" and then make a decision about who fits the most deserving "diehard" category. ST holders get priority, the end. And I am not a ST holder. And if you've decided away fans take all the credit for the away wins, then thanks a bunch for your **** poor showing at Wolves the other day when we really needed you. Or was that one not your fault? Edited 15 April, 2009 by CB Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrollman no2 Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 There were eight of us who got tickets today and at the rate they are selling,we will easily get the second allocation.I doubt no one will have a problem getting tickets if they want to. We are also staying the night in one of their hotels,so that means no bingo bus and a good night out in Nottingham(as long as it doesnt come down to either us or them being relegated on the last day).

Griffo Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 Thank god, finally someone with some common sense Agree with that. I think someone that has been to 10 home games and 10 away throughout the season should be more entitled to an AWAY ticket than someone that has been to pretty much every home game, for instance 20 of them.
