You can collect from the ticket office or from your chosen pickup point.

400 are availble but the Saints won't sell them. A lesson for everybody for the future - apply even if you think you wont get one.

Did we regularly sell out a home game after the 1st day of sales? 2nd day? 1 week? Were fans queued outside the ticket office overnight? Were they continually pressing redial? How many home games went to a “ballot”? No one ever struggled to get a ticket for home games, back in our premier days you knew well in advance when tickets went on sale, if you wanted one you could have got one. Struggle does not mean tickets were on sale for over a week but I didn’t know I could go to the game until after they had sold out. Also to go from average crowds of 30,000 to 40,000 it’s probably another 20,000 fans we would need as normally it’s not the same fans who go week in week out. We are years away from that.

Like all rumours on here.

But we did hear, the club stated that all those who applied had been successful. The original announcement about the 1st was when the club thought that the 1st ballot might have been oversubscribed, it wasn’t. Did not the statement “all those who applied have been successful” supersede the original announcement? I thought it did and can’t quite see why a dozen or so on here keep going on about not receiving an email by the 1st.

Or, how about they have checked the official website and have seen that all those who applied in the 1st ballot got a ticket and don’t feel the need to post on here or e-mail/phone the ticket office every day? I saw the official website announcement and didn’t panic that I hadn’t received an email until Monday.

Are you for real? who the **** is going to beat you up?

Yes, I thought that they would have wanted us to arrive as early as possible and certainly in the ground by noon with less Skates on the streets at that time. If it’s correct then the coaches will pass a couple of pubs just as the Skates will be leaving them. It’s asking for trouble, just a shame that now the police tactic is let trouble happen, film it then nick people for it a week later.

On my online account its showing Bursledon bus 1 depart 12:15.

True, but it was live on Sky.

Yes, being so ****e we were in the 1st round draw. At least we never went out untill after the 3rd round in those 2 seasons.

Yes, you can.

Chances of selling out = zero. Just under 4,000 tickets if we needed them.

Yes, loads of fans were buying on the night. With it being short notice we couldn't get an advance ticket in time, which is why we (5 of us) got them on the night

2200 even

2700 of which were away fans see as Leeds had 3000 and Birmingham 800

Sorry but the money factor is only a reason for a small %, same as the weather. If that was a premiership game we would have sold 30,000+ at 35 quid a ticket.

A lot of people did, all the so called ITK who were boasting they had seen it suddenly said “oh I only saw a bit of the hand / foot / leg”

Never understand why people ask “how many we sold then?” when they get their tickets.

Ask a Birmingham fan if they would have rather lost the carling cup final and stayed up last season?

24,000 would be good not poor.

Yep, reckon you're right. We should have appointed Hoddle last season.

So what would be an acceptable finish for you? Where is the minimum you think Saints should finsh?

April 2009 the day Lowe left the building.

I didn’t go on Saturday. I didn’t go because of the price. I didn’t go because the club never phoned me up personally and asked if I would like to go. I didn’t go because it was not in the echo till Thursday night. I went sailing and very nice it was too. I must be a bad fan as I’m not going to the West Brom game either.
