It's not.

Folk have commitments. Perhaps for some spending extra money during a time when there is so much sport to consider for expense is not a priority.

And BHA isn't everyone's first priority.

When I was a kid and went to every away game I used to moan that we had little support. I now realise I was being a tw**.

I sort of agree about the financial aspect, however we have thread after thread about allocation of tickets and how unfair the loyalty system is and yet when the opportunity arises supporters aren't prepared to take the opportunity.

Thirty odd thousand going to Wembley and yet we can't sell a tenth of that for one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

I don't mean this in a condescending way but that 30k isn't exactly indicative of our regular support, I would say- yes for the ST holders and members who regularly but the others will be day-trippers ready for a p.,s up.

Coupled with the combination of this game's proximity to the semi (not mentioning the expense), the fact its mid-week and saints few days before- its not a terrible away turnout for us who have won twice I believe this season away from home.

Had the game been on the original date we would have sold out (as we did before subsequent refund)

Saints - ST for match & travel so only £10 grub
Chelsea - £70 all in
Wembley - £105 all in but I'm taking two others so £315
That's £395 in one week. Is it tax deductible?

Biggest clubs in Europe? In their eyes maybe.

This will sell out, another factor is the potential CH could put out a weaker team for this one if we beat Soton.

Well, I'm looking forward to it. Very rare chance to be able to get to an away game, so delighted there are tickets on sale for a London fixture!

Like them or not, they are one of the biggest clubs in Europe. 8th richest club in the world and one of the last four teams to win the Champions League.

Funny, I'm actually the total opposite, my bosses are Chelsea STH and bang on about them all day, I can safely say I hate them with a passion.

CH would be mad to put out a weaker team at Chelsea as they would stuff us and goal difference could still be important.

Has anyone received their Chelsea tickets yet?

In the words of Diana Ross, "I'm still waiting." Haven't had the leaving time confirmed from the Seagull Travel coach operator yet either.

Is there any way I can check which seats I bought before the tickets arrive? Now that it's available to anyone with a purchase history I want one extra ticket ideally as close as possible to the two I've already bought, but I can't remember exactly where I bought them!
