Will Saints fill the way end?

[Smithy]

We sold out in 6 hours. Then you gave us a further 200 or something which went on sale last thursday. People queued from 5am for some stupid reason and they sold out within half hour.

All dying to see a quality stadium.

 

[LABHA]

My scummer mate said they got given more after selling the 1st lot,surley they cant be in the sides or something

Or just wanting to see another win. This is the best season for a while we've had for taking numbers away.

If that's the case, I reckon it'll be a very high attendance, 2700+ away fans and ~18,500 home fans.

Oh my god. Talk about glory hunters. We'd have sold our allocation out at yours even if we were in the bottom league. Plastics.

Theyre all gone now mate. I've got a home ticket.

Will be nice to see a packed away end, hopefully they'll create an atmosphere aswell!

Are you gonna be able to stay in your seat when you score?? I really hate sitting in with the home fans in a big game.

very impressive, I knew they always travelled well, thought probably on a par too us. Those figures don't lie.

We r all 2 blame. Same old poxy songs from all teams. Oh when the SAINTS, we r Southampton we're top of the league (although I don't think we''ll be singing it much longer) and anti Pompey songs. Brighton r just the same, ALBION, to the tune of Liverpools, Liverpool, anti Palace songs. You will be louder, Brighton will 18,000 fans in the ground, we will have 3,500. Remember the thrashing at St Marys, Brighton's travelling band of a few were obviously outsung by 30,000 Saints fans. It really is no BIG deal. I just which there was some more originality and humour in ALL clubs songs. Several years ago when someone started 2-0 and you --cked it up, it was quite amusing. Lets hope for a good game today between 2 desparately out of form teams. Hope Adkins leaves De Ridder and Guly on the bench and use the qualities of David Connolly, I also hope Brighton have enough for a bench.

 

[empire]

like us last year,its easy to follow top of the table teams,
i wonder what the ave would be in the lower leagues

 

[Napper]

Wait for the announcer to say "a new Amex record attendance , thankyou all for coming" ..... followed by piss take from the Saints

 

[LA1972]

Southampton did not sell their allocation for Fratton Park, thay sent 400 back!!!! Enough said

This is a myth, I know 3 of the ticket office girls. In the end it completely sold out, but loads of people were put off by the ridiculous travel arangements.

 

[mwrpoole]

wonder how they will fare against other 'sold out' away ends:

Liverpool - 2403
Leeds - 2361
Palace - 2458
West Ham - 2401
Forest - 2402

In fairness to Leeds they were by far the loudest & i seem to recall there were major problems on trains to Brighton that night.

 

[Notters]

And every song under the sun to the tune of Sloop John B...

durrdurrdurrdurrudurrrrrr
durrdurrdurrdurrudurrrrrr
WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON
durrdurrdurrdurrudurrrrrr

or something.

This, it got so boring at st Mary's.

 

[Notters]

Several people seem to think there will be more Saints fans than the away end holds

Hundreds of empty seats in the away end!! Not really a myth was it, we all saw it live on TV

That was the segregation on each end.... It was expanded for this game.
