Yeah, they marketed it as the free games for any Category A, B or C game, implying it would cover any game, but they then give Pompey game its own category of A+

Yeah, I asked about this as in previous seasons they had listed what category each home game would be at the start of the season, and I thought this would be useful when deciding what games to use the "comp" tickets for in the membership plus. They said they now decide the category when they announce ticket details for each game, so i suppose this approach will mean they have flexibility especially towards the end of season. If we are in the promotion race then expect every game to be Cat A, but if its dead rubbers then they will be Cat C / Kids for a fiver etc. The main value i can see for the membership plus is that you can use it for more expensive seats/areas for the ground. We often sit in the wings, but for Comp games we have gone more central in seats which would normally be alot more.

Was pleasantly surprised, but it all worked fine for me and my son. We have membership plus and so far have booked tickets for Stoke and Boro using the "complimentary ones". It let us buy Skates tickets fine.

I had the same problem, had to ring up and they did it on the phone. Seems pretty unorganised and not worth getting the membership plus

I dont think Pompey game can be used for one of the free ones, as its a category A+. My issue is that I have already used the 2 complimentary tickets that come with the £90 membership plus for Stoke and Boro game, but Saints dont seem to view that as purchasing a match ticket this season, which is needed in order to buy a Pompey ticket. Only Saints could end up with a ticketing system where a standard member gets a higher priority than a membership "plus".

Anyone else got a membership plus but now had an email saying they don't qualify to buy a ticket for the Skates at home game? Me and my son both got membership plus, and have used the 2 "free" games that come as part of the deal to get tickets for the Stoke game and also the Boro game. However it looks like Saints are treating it that we haven't purchased a ticket for a game this season yet, as they are seen as complimentary and part of the membership plus package. Unless I missed it, this was not stated anywhere and surely paying the £95 for a membership plus which comes with 2 games, is a purchase history for this season?

Anyone know when the goalkeeper kits will be on sale? Were announced a couple of weeks ago, but still unable to buy them

Does anyone know of any shop other than the Saints store which does shirt printing and would have the right style number and letters? My son wanted to buy himself the yellow and blue away shirt and have 7 Le Tissier on the back, however after buying it they let us know that they have run out of S's 🤣 So that ruled out Scienza, Downes, Fellows and others too. The staff there seem to think they won't have any more in before Wembley, which seems crazy to me considering there will likely be a rise in shirt sales as the China sites won't deliver in time. I thought JD sports used to, but apparently not any more. Seems mental that only Saints can do it, and they are able to run out of letters!

I had no problems with that. I followed the advice from some who had issues yesterday and made sure the Friends & Family i was buying for were not logged in on any other devices etc. Some phones etc remember the details and keep you logged in, so had to manually log out.

One bit of advice for anyone waiting to get on, it is likely the first seats you pick, that it will then say they are no longer available and suggest nearby alternatives. Even after that, still double check when you go to the next screen, as it changed again and tried to put my 9 year old son a few rows behind me, so had to go back and modify the seat choice again. Can see it being quite easy to miss that it has changed. Obviously the system tries to prioritise not leaving any single seats, over people sitting together.

Actually I cant read a calendar, it's the Wednesday before, so could likely still be the Saturday 🤞

Would be a decent away day if it was on the Saturday, but they have West Ham on the Thursday before, so will definitely be the Sunday or Monday.

This thread sums up everything I hate with football these days. FA Cup weekends used to be a highlight of the season. Now the trend seems to be that it is edgy to not care about it, and all about the league. For a club like Saints, it is very rare when in February we won't either be looking at going up, or in a relegation battle, or at least looking over our shoulder. For me supporting saints is wanting to see them hopefully win a major trophy in my lifetime. Yes the chance is next to f*ck all, but there is still a chance. Just hate the arrogance towards the cups these days from fans, when those competitions have given us a large proportion of the most memorable moments.

Surely people have to realise it will be a cheap option for the replacement? SR rightly being hounded out the club, and will be planning their own exit strategy. "Sports Republic, get out of our club (but chuck another few million in for a new manager on the way out)"

I really wish we all stopped pretending we are some sort of football purists and the "style of football" the new manager plays is what we care about. Because it's all bollocks and we just want to win. Look at it under Martin last season. Win first game against Sheff Wed and we think we are Barca, a few weeks later when lost 3 or 4 on spin and beaten 5-0 at Sunderland, it was the style of play letting us down. Go on 26 match unbeaten run, and it's back to the Barca days.Wobble before the playoffs and it's back to "GET IT FORWARDS". Win at Wembley and all is well. The common theme is the results. Let's not pretend it's anything different. No manager is going to come in and play some route 1 bollocks, it will all be much of muchness whoever it is, and the gimps can still pretend to spout a load of nonsense about xG, cooking and redemption curves.
