Plenty of youth left it you fella! Cheers for joining in!

Absolutely: Cat A £25 (£20 premium members) Cat B £20 (£15 premium members) Cat C £15 (£13 premium members) Would encourage anyone looking to stand and chant to get towards the very back of block 15. Anyone wanting to join in in a more passive way/ prefer to sit - would recommend blocks 13 and 14 or further down toward the front of 15. You mention getting more "youth". Depends how you define youth. Young adults yes but for u'18's it's actually more expensive in 15 but cheaper in Northam ect... Think the club want the Chapel Itchen corner to be the cheaper alternative for adults mainly. Saying that everyone's welcome of course.

thank you!

👋 t'was I. Seems to have gone down well. Numbers were quite small but we did manage to generate a fair bit of noise at times. As others have pointed out, we are in the cheaper seats (block 15) where it is really good value for adults. Want it to be an area for those who can't justify the higher prices of the Northam/ IN. Of the 20 or so people I know who are at the back making noise - many of these (myself included) wouldn't have got a season ticket if there wasn't the cheaper option for standing/ singing. Would be great to get some more people involved. Another 20 or so would really see it kick on. Early days though. Really positive feedback so far though!

realistically, I'd snap your hand off for 7 points from our next 3. 4 points from Norwich and Plymouth, and a convincing win against QPR will do just nicely. UTS

Indeed. I can't see an extra £5-£10 on the price of tickets putting many people off. Maybe if we'd played Wednesday away recently, but it's been 10 years, and Sheffield away on a Friday night is a pretty attractive fixture for many. I think they'll charge £36 which is what they charged in the Championship 2 years ago.

Sold about 30-40. I know of a few more who are yet to buy. A lot will be on a match by match basis. Think there will be some fans who will wait until our first three games have been played before committing to a ST. They’re also yet to release match day ticket prices so nobody knows how much you’ll save by getting a ST. Hoping we can hit 100 and slowly grow it from there.

Membership details are out on Friday. There is then a Season ticket/ membership Window for the friendlies until the 11th July. If you buy during this window, you'll have access to the discounted price.

Yes they are. Details about memberships are out later this week I believe.

The seating plan with specific rows and seat numbers isn't available until tomorrow once they put all the seats back on sale. Then, you're able to select any specific seat and it gives you an example view. Where are you trying to move to?

Where are you trying to move to?

Fair enough mush. Used to sit there (block 24) many moons ago. Many happy memories. Enjoy the season 👍

Great news. Where did you go for in the end?

Thank you Rob. Hopefully hard work pays off! What's impressed me the most is the amount of support I've received, particularly from those who aren't even interested in the area. It's nice to see everyone come together and support something that benefits fellow fans, even if it's not for them. I have a lot of respect for the vocal fans who have been in Northam and IN for years and I'm sure these areas will continue to be loud. St Mary's could be a difficult place to go next season, if we all play our part. UTFS

Blocks 36-40 is still like this. 39 and 38 all stand, then it peters off to just the back row. Seems the club don't mind it as long as stewards are briefed accordingly.

I agree with you on this. Although I think our numbers will be large enough to hold some power over the stewards and as long as no one's had too many dark fruits, I can't see there being any 'trouble' at all.

Genuine question, how would you go about enforcing 100 odd to sit down? They said they'd brief the stewards in the area to be more relaxed. I can't see why it won't happen but the again it is saints 🤣 They did also agree that safe standing would be a suitable solution in this area.

That's not wet mate. Football brings people together! I'd recommend block 15 if you want a more atmosphere at a similar cost.

The club and relevant authorities will work with us in identifying parts of the ground which persistently stand. They shouldn't have a problem with it if no one's view is restricted. They'll also be more than 15 of us. Numbers are looking strong.

You could move to block 15 for £44 more for the pair of you

Depends on availability, but there's a chance you could buy the end ticket at the back of block 15 and your two children the end of block 16. You'd still have three seats next to each other. The seat you need in block 15 is currently unavailable, but it might become available on Saturday. This would have a total of £897. I can let you know on here if this becomes a possibility.

I think it's because the club want to market the Itchen South as a mainly adult area. Although, I'd check the cost again because 1 adult and 2 U'18s is cheaper in block 15 than in the Kingsland North. Family: £817 Block 15: £1057 Kingsland North: £1097 *new prices, not renewal prices

Thanks mate. As for standing in the FS, I think you’d be okay as long as you aren’t blocking anyones view. But at the end of the day it’s down to the stewards. what block are you? what I would suggest would depend on the age of your nipper. If they’re in the u’18 category, then for £50 more in total for both of you, you could switch to block 15. The difference is more significant if they’re in the u’14 category. Hope this helps.

Nice one. If you want to guarantee some atmosphere, I'd recommend standing with us on the back. The club can help you move. If you're happy staying sitting where you are, then fair play, you should still be able to get involved. We are hoping to get the Chapel singing in unison, whether you sit or stand. Have you always sat in block 15?

thanks mate. I encourage anyone interested to get involved. And to the very few people who may have to move to a nearby seat to accommodate this group: I thank you and apologise for any inconvenience. Expect the club will contact you. Plenty of availability so no one will have to move very far, but there will still be a few who are upset.
