southampton tickets released

[clippedgull]

With SKY showing this, I can't see any way that it will sell out.

 

[Easy 10]

I MIGHT be getting a freebie to one of their executive boxes for this (friend of a friend and all that).
If not, then I'll not be bothering.

*badfan*

 

[The Grockle]

We took more than that to MK Dongs, surely we'll take more for to Southampton?

It was a new stadium and only a tenner to get in remember.

 

[The Oldman]

Surely the Sky coverage and the late Sunday afternoon KO will reduce numbers attending whether Southampton or Albion supporters?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

it depends on how much it is.

Plus engineering work on the trains so hard work to get there

 

[Zesh Rehman]

We wouldn't take that many. Reckon 2000 will probably be enough to be honest. How many did we take last time?

3,500 last time and could have sold a lot more. Obviously Sky and late kick off may reduce that.

 

[Storer68]

even tho this is a BIG games for us LOADS will be put off by
a )the shitty kick off time thanks to Sky
b) the live coverage and the shitty kick off time thanks to Sky
c) the chance to spend all Sunday in the pub and watch the Albion live on Sky despite the shitty kick off time
d) a few by the fact that train travel will be nigh on impossible along the South Coast

 

[HG201]

Let's put it this way 10% of St. Mary's is around 3200.

Which is about what we took last time if my memory is correct

 

[Paxton Dazo]

I'd be suprised if BHA couldn't sell out that whole end, if they got that many tickets.

e) Nazi stewards
f) soton's a dump
g) crap atmosphere

Can't believe anyone would rather go there than watch it over a lovely pint of Harveys in Brighton.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

b) the live coverage

I always thought Lower League fans were really, really against Sky (and rightly so..). If so, surely that one is a lie?

Can just imagine Barrell of Fun infront of the TV with his slippers and pipe watching Albion v Soton on Sky.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Bit different then though - Southampton were still a decent sized club looking at getting back in the Prem and the first time we'd played them in the league for a little while. This time round it's a shite ko time, on tele and considering our next 3 games are Leeds, Norwich and Charlton I don't see that many splashing their cash on Southampton. Now i've said that no doubt we'll sell out!

 

[patchamalbion]

if its ticket only-1,700
pay on day-2,800

mark my words

 

[empire]

that would be poor,brentford took over 3000

 

[dougdeep]

Don't drink in the King Alfred, it's a dump.

 

[daves143]

yeovil took 3,000 and it was pay on the day for there game at st marys

 

[cheesy77]

really? according to saints website yeovil took 1,472 and brentford 2,415. i'd think we'll take between 2500-3000.

apparantly there stewards are real nazis about seating there and you have no choice but to sit in your own allocated seat?

That's not my experience. When we went there in between Christmas & New year a few years ago the stewards gave up on getting people to sit down & let everybody stand.

I've also been there to Barnsley with my son & the stewards were fine.
