We'll supply the matches.

Do you think they'd appreciate our generosity as much as our friends from Bournemuff did? Let's not bother.

OK, I'm a dickhead, just read that again "Blocks 22-28"

Blocks 22-28 maybe a good idea but that area alone aint big enough. We have to offer fans up to 3,200 for league games (more for cups) so you would at least have to give aways blocks 21 and 27 aswell.

I can't believe the gates haven't been locked at their training ground yet - surely they must owe the university a fair ol' wedge?

Chuckle. You really should have been around in the 70s, 80s, 90s mush (that's the trouble with you JCLs) when 5 or 6000 gates weren't unusual at fartton and your lot used to bang on about how you once got 51,000 back in the black and white days (in a 58,000 capacity and thanks to your friends from Southampton (ask yer grandad) and thousands of locally based servicemen who were let in for free) and the "massive" crowds you'd get when you got back to the top-flight. We're now just giving it back to the bitter-blue-few but you don't want to play anymore cos there's no hiding place. How does it go... "**** ground, no fans...**** ground, no fans"

We've got, I believe, between 13-14,000 ST holders but these days no 'members' scheme. Going on what they had before, the skates will get around 4,200, that leaves, after segregation, about 10-11,000 seats. There's no way the OB are gonna let these go to 'general sale' for obvious reasons so if those on the data base don't take them up it won't be allowed to be a sell out. I'd say it will tho.

Well, just about every club in the country call their rivals 'scum', going back 40-odd years some of us knew them as (by changing 'pom' for 'scum') scumpey. Makes sense don't it...they lengthened it and called us scummers. As most Saints fans never gave them a second thought while they were bitterly obsessed with us 'scummers' became a lot more popular down there. Blue Few, says it all.

My faves so far tho "Shut them down Inland Revenue..." may fit better. My contribution, hoping they're selling the family jewels by then: "Blue-Few, you're always standing alone, Without more fans in your stands, Without a ground of your own"

Get yer half-STs you know it makes sense. Worth it just to guarantee a skate ticket...aswell as a JPT Wembley one... Double-bubble.

You'll probably need to give us a few more 'lyrics' to work that one out!! Tho' there was a bit of bouncing and 'na-na-ing' late 70s/early 80s to the 'Ricky Lambert/Johnny Comes Marching Home' one...

...cos us soppy old gits love it from our Milton days...was everyone bouncing up-and-down aswell...could anyone who remembers still bounce? (and I wasn't there to join in). Not enough bouncing up-and-down at football these days. Ahhhh, the memories.

That's not fair if he's just signed for us......

...does that mean get to sing this now? "Blue-Few, you're always standing alone, Without more fans in your stands, Without a ground of your own"

Is this the opportunity to give our generous owner a shout? "We're on the march with Leibherr's Army, we're all goin' to Wemberley......" rolls off the tongue a little easier than 'Alan's' or 'Pardew's' Army don't ya think

http://www.moocamp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35411 Worried about being "outnumbered", tho how that's gonna happen with max 3500 tickets I don't know. Another reckons we'll get 10k+ for second leg at St Marys - unless we get annialated at MK I'd say SMS will be bursting at the seams. "Que Sera, Sera......."

Caption Competition time? "Goin' Down, Goin' Down, Goin' Dow....."

That's good news, just what we were waiting for (and some other fans I've spoken to) and it's up to 3500 tickets they've given us.

Oi, mack rill, did you watch that BBC thingy on the blue-few the other night? What language were those skates speaking? That bloke in the pub sounded more Brizzol than mockney. :smt102

So, whatever the 'official' gate figure at fartton on Saturday, we should deduct several thousand to get the true figure? ...and now the truth's out, how's ol' Fred gonna gloss over the fact on Meridiskate tonight that all those "loyal, passionate, fans" who helped clear the pitch were, in reality, just fleecing their club of precious revenue?

We could finally groundshare with p*rtsmuff...our reserves, their first team...who'd get the biggest gates?

Thank f*k I was watching this then... http://www.thefa.com/FATV.aspx Brizzol City just equalised 2 mins into injury time too.

Yeah, funnily enough I thought the same thing, only it sounded more like..."O'ive neverrr seen anything loike it before in moi loife..." I was just waiting for his wife to pop up with..."noice piece of heather moi dear?" What happened to the mockney accent I thought I'd switched over to some footie thing about Brizzol city...
