Still about 800 left so should be okPraying this makes it to members on Tuesday
Its not Fulham or Palace or Everton is it with pillars etc. All the seats are pretty good for Saints - you might have a preference for behind the goal perhaps but they aren't "bad seats" . The ones i bought in the corner at least.
I think you also need to factor in the time/date of the fixture. A midweek job oop north with an evening kick off should mean a lot more loyalty points than a tidy, no-problem 3.00pm Saturday fixture. Perhaps bonus points could be added for rearranged games purely on the basis that the poor fan is being buggered about yet again.The points allocation is nonsense this season. Some very bizarre decisions being made. Southampton away should be a 5 pointer every single time.
So far this season:
Man Utd 10West Ham United 10Forest Green Rovers (cup) 5Fulham 5Bournemouth 5Liverpool 10Brentford 5Manchester City 10Wolverhampton Wanderers 15Arsenal (cup) 10Southampton 10
Bournemouth 5, but Southampton 10. What?
15 for Wolves but only 10 for Liverpool and Man City?
They still seem to be building in a glamour club factor but we are all bored of going to these places. Should be very simple:
London and South Coast 5
Midlands 10
North of Midlands 15
Possible extra 5 for Midlands in mid week.
Not hard is it?

If you’re a fan of soulless bowls and journeys that take three times longer than they should, you’re going to the right placeSo looking forward to this. In over 40 years supporting Brighton, Southampton away is one of those that has for various reasons always eluded me. Bagged tickets yesterday for my first ever away trip there.
Monday 21.00 just under 600 left.Praying this makes it to members on Tuesday
I will add, the area around the stadium looks like a larger version of NewhavenIf you’re a fan of soulless bowls and journeys that take three times longer than they should, you’re going to the right place
Is that to say, it's all on fire?I will add, the area around the stadium looks like a larger version of Newhaven
Agree. The point of the loyalty scheme is to reward more for those less attractive games. Soton would normally be low but factor in no trains then and then boxing day hence it's a 10.I think you also need to factor in the time/date of the fixture.

Feet up in front of the tv for me, I’ve been there a few times and I’m in no rush to go back.Is that to say, it's all on fire?
Seriously though, if there are 600 tickets left this stands to be my most positive Southampton experience since the last time I left Southampton.
Christ I hate Southampton.
Boxing day, or otherwise between Christmas and New Year, seems to be my only chance of an away game south of Leicester.Feet up in front of the tv for me, I’ve been there a few times and I’m in no rush to go back.
But tell me, what do you think of Southampton?Boxing day, or otherwise between Christmas and New Year, seems to be my only chance of an away game south of Leicester.
Managed to get to Chelsea last season, hopefully we go one better this time and get a win.
Just in case anybody's still in any doubt, I really hate Southampton as a place.
Southampton is not quite as bad as you imply - certainly not as bad as some of the shit holes I’ve visited up and down the country. For me it’s a bit on the boring side and doesn’t have the dynamism to promote itself in a better light. Obviously not a patch on Brighton and Hove for entertainment and going out, or even Portsmouth with Gunwharf Quay and the Dockyard but it ticks all the boxes for living here in a humdrum way - and Winchester is just up the road for eating and drinking, and a bit of culture!Boxing day, or otherwise between Christmas and New Year, seems to be my only chance of an away game south of Leicester.
