wireframebox Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Doubt it. Best to get to the ticket office as, by the look of things, they're expecting it to be very busy with people collecting and purchasing tickets. Thanks, last question. Do they sell tickets at the saints store in west quay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 I tried buying my ticket a minute ago online but the site seems down...I'll try again in a couple of hours time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if you'd read this thread then you'd see why you can't buy a ticket online. Still, we know how much common sense you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Personally. I think they should abandon the current format, dissolve the Affiliate Member's Cup too (The Johnstone Paint's trophy) and simply have a 'Coca Cola Football League Cup.' A competition for all clubs outside of the premiership. The bonus being entry into a playoff for Premiership admittence. The playoff consisting of 3rd through 6th in the league, 17th in the Prem and the 'Football League' Cup winners. Wouldn't work. You could have a team finishing in the lowest position in the Football League going into the Prem through the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowllyd Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Back to the original topic... Went to buy a ticket today about 11:45; there were a fair number of people coming and going at the ticket office. Of course, I don't know how many of them were buying tickets for tonight's game, but I'd assume most would have been. So maybe the lower prices are having some effect.

stevegrant Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Thanks, last question. Do they sell tickets at the saints store in west quay? No, but they do sell tickets at the information desk/Mayflower ticket kiosk about 20 yards from the West Quay store. However, seeing as they basically tap into the online system, you almost certainly won't be able to buy for tonight's game from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDonkey Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 After Saturday I'm kicking myself for not organising time off to go down for this one. I don't expect a win but the lads deserve all the support they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if it upsets the prima donna tosspots in the Prem, the impossible happens and Rochdale reach the promised land ! Great, I say, bring it on ! Sadly it'll never happen because money talks, the game is riddled with self interest and the age of romance is dead !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 26 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Just under 10,000 sold now. Still a few more hours to go, hopefully a decent walk up can take that up to about 12,000 which wouldn't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you do have to put up with the smell of fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwarwick Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 8.5k is a disgrace. And it will be probably one of the highest attendances on the night as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintwarwick Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 To be fair it just shows the amount of 'paper fans' this club once had. When we were in the premiership you could guarantee 30k + for a prem game and about 22k+ for a cup game. If (when) we do get back to the premiership they’ll all come crawling back. Does that include the 6,343 that turned up at SMS for the Northampton game when last in the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLOTH EARS Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 I reckon we'll end up with 13.500 tonight, which is acceptable, and 17.000 saturday due to Blackpool not having a large away following and the game being live on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 For what it's worth, here are the attendances from Round 1: Ipswich 4-1 Leyton Orient - 1477 :shock: Surely, surely that has a digit missing? 1500 for a first team cup game!? I had prior commitments tonight, which last season I would've moved to go to the game. This season however, I'm being a bit cautious with how things are going at the club, hence the no go. I have to say though (and it is very early days, mind you) after my initial doubts things are looking hopeful, let's hope it's maintained, and I can enjoy going to SMS again.

Michelle Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Just announced on Radio Hampshire approx 3k walk up tonight, 11,300ish in attendance. Not bad at all considering some of those others from the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
