Divergent

After a year away and giving up my season ticket in the Itchen I decided when the prices came out in April to move to the Family area. Being over 65 I paid £355 and got 2 under 11 tickets for grand children at £19 a pop. It’s the cheapest I’ve paid for a season ticket seat for donkey years and far cheaper than the ridiculous prices being charged for Cat A games. I know not everyone is in the same position and the family centre is a bit sedate but from a value for money point of view I’m not complaining.

Phoned ticket office today. Still being prepared and will be posted out first two weeks of August. Shame as one is first, surprise season ticket for my grandson whose birthday is this Sunday.

That was my first European away match since Anderlecht in 76/77. I thought the singing was pretty good considering the spread of fans, seemed ok where I was anyway right behind the goal. More of a problem was not being able to actually see the goal because of all the fans standing in the way against the railings. Think the Inter stewards were bemused at the aggravation between the away fans each time the view was blocked by a new set of supporters thinking they'd found a good place to stand!

Just a brilliant day out. Ok, icing on the cake would have been a win, sort of difficult to believe we actually lost after that performance. Still quietly confident we will get through to next stages.

Am I the only one here on the Saints travel package tomorrow? God, I must be boring!

Delivered 7.15 this morning. Block 212.

Not received mine yet either. Did get an email this evening with the times and itinerary for the official travel package though.
