Saints 2-0. Bit of a struggle v Derby but hopefully Blackburn will not park the bus and hack our players. Same players and same subs could be TE tactics again.

I'm writing to my MP insisting that as well as the Triple Lock, they take into account the annual increase on a Saints ST.

That booking fee is an absolute rip off. Leeds are charging their fans a £3 booking fee so no idea if it's set by Wembley or the club.

Sheff Wed cup game I think, I counted 300 odd

I know what you mean. I normally cant select a seat for Saints cup games etc and just use drop down menus and auto select. One reason to have a season ticket! If over 60 its not easy !!

Not so sure on that, I found it a bit more challenging but then a)it's probably just due to familiarity and b)I'm a dinosaur easily pissed off with IT...

Cheers all, I can't be the only one who wanted to know that so I'll be prepared when I log in tomorrow morning.

Its easy on a laptop, just scroll to zoom in on a section and can select seat, right hand then shows price so change to u18 etc. Its 1000% better than usual Saints ticket selection.

It was for me, although a bit later tan Frannies Tache, I had a 10 minute wait to get into the purchasing option, and and by about 9.50 most of the safe standing behind the goal had gone, but managed to get three together nearby. Nor sure how the £2.50 per ticker booking fee is justified when they don't even have the cost of printing tickets, putting them in an envelope and posting them, but there you go. It did seem a fairly seamless process despite the minor wait, so club has got a decent system in process there. Just wait the inevitable fuck up with the App, mobile phone, outside the stadium now then.

Got my tickets only took 15 mins with queue, select seats and complete purchase. Good process and seat map easy to select on a pc, gave up on mobile too difficult. Behind goal row 18 was at back of side lower tier for play final so happy with that. Plenty seats at front the cheap ones at about 450 in queue. I got the £70, £60 ones to get a higher viwe in Row 18

Cheers guys. Yes I was surprised that the club site wasn't really slow this morning with the first batch of people trying to get tickets. My only worry is that the tickets go onto your Saints tickets app. I want my wife's ticket to be for my son so he will need to log his phone onto her Saints account. I wonder; if I purchase both mine and hers at the same time will they both go on my Saints ticket app

Do you get to choose your individual seats: how specific can you be? Is it like the St Mary's booking system where you can?

I hope Trump's days as President are numbered but there is the distinct likelihood that 'Trumpism' will continue to infect the extreme political right of American politics. Perhaps this will be diluted, to some extent, if the mid terms turn out to be particularly bad news for the Republicans.

Im not being particularly helpful here, but I would suggest calling the club and checking on that. Would seem harsh if hospitality didnt count as buying/attending a home game.

Don't know about the membership side but the hospitality will definitely count as a purchased game. I was actually a bit surprised how easy it was this morning, got in just after 9:30, booked five seats all behind the goal in the slightly cheaper seats, got the booking confirmation a couple of minutes later and all done. Didn't look like many had gone when i logged in either. I'm sure the club will find a way to bugger it up closer to the game mind.

T Morton was indeed Melchester's original Goalkeeper. The character may have been modeled on William (Fatty)Foulke who played for Sheffield Utd, Chelsea and Bradford City between 1894 and 1908. Apparently he was around 24 stone at the end of his career. He died from cirrhosis of the liver at 42 years of age.

And hopefully as quickly.

Wasn't Tubby Morton the Rovers goalie? Perhaps you can't call anyone Tubby nowadays.

Our steamroller will fill all those holes in Blackburn, Lancashire. 4-0 to Saints COYR

Probably not, can't bé very rentable for them, there seem to bé very few spectators visible on the Live Streams. Probably just want to préserve D1 status.

The Roy Race / Blackie Gray strike partnership was still going well into the 1990s I believe. Vic Guthrie, goalkeeper Charlie Carter and defensive hard man Duncan McKay also had pretty solid careers, plus of course Paco Diaz providing some continental flair on the wings. I had loads of Roy of the Rovers annuals but they all came from a car boot sale and were from the 70s, so even though I was reading them in 1986 I thought all players had long hair and flares and looked like the Bee Gees

I don’t agree with turning the volume down. We are in danger of going down the same road as the US. For every extremist nutter you see there are dozens of people who quietly agree that people like Farage and Lowe “have a point” and swallow the nationalistic bullshit without bothering to look at what these people really stand for. Even if they don’t win the next election (🙏) they could win enough seats to cause bigger problems. They are already making huge waves with only a small handful of elected MPs. You only have to look at the number of MAGA idiots who still think that Trump is doing a great job to see what could happen here if we allow the lunatics to run the asylum.

It was certainly a bitch that Boro and Norwich fluffed their lines at the weekend.
