Becasue south coast club decided to ban photographers fomr St Marys, only allowing their own photographers yo get match shots. So the Sun, like all other media outlets have no choice but to pay Southamptons prices for the photos. The Sun, like some other media outfits have decided to boycot them.

As much as a rag the sun is, I love how juvanile they're being about this. Properly one sided match reports and not naming the club or any of it's players

IT'S comic book stuff as Plymouth Argyle start the season with a win but these images form part of The Herald's coverage after rivals Southampton banned photographers from the match.
The Bournemouth Echo featured match photos from the 1980s instead

When we go to St Marys I think we should run a photo comp and encourage all away fans to take a camera with them and just take photos for the whole game....as it's a night game the flashes will be class....winner get published by the argus...pretty sure they cant ban that!

I suspect they will be employing camera Nazis to weed out such items as a condition of entry.

Which makes the achievement of taking photos all the more impressive.

They can't confiscate peoples cameras they are valuable items. Not the same as a bottle of drink. Where there's a will there's a way. My phone (with flash) is good enough to take a decent enough photo.

Why not make it fancy dress, with the subject being related to photography...shouldn't be too difficult to make a camera hat out of a few cereal boxes, a couple of bog-roll inners and some milk bottle tops!

Great idea, love it!
And there's already a chant in place, when we visit St Mary's, to the tune of the conga, altogether now...
(holding aloft phones and cameras)
"Let's all take a photo, let's all take a photo, la la la la..."
Exactly, the flash will just illuminate the back of the person in the row in front of you's head.

Well they did to Superwife away at Reading a few years back (Molango Goal) and we had to go to the security office to collect it after the game.
Let's have a laugh witha a Facebook page, encouraging fans to post their photos & videos.
