We all loved Fernandes like we’re now loving Sienza, will we still be loving him if he’s poached in the summer? I’m still a bit of a Matty fan as I probably would be with Leo in similar circumstances.

City have sold around 24,000, we’ve got 80 x £90 tickets left l which will be gone soon once some say “fuck it” and just pay the extortionate prices, so 36,000 Saints fans

Reckon they were what the club had held back for sponsors, etc and later released, which probably make up most of the 200 tickets now left. All £90 tickets, 100 each on opposite sides of the stadium and 2 x £70 tickets up in the gods.

It's now a battle for 3rd/4th place which ensures a play-off second leg at home.

Just had a look, there seems to be blocks of newly available seats that looked like they should have been in our initial batch of tickets, wonder if that's seats the club had held back for their own purposes. And strangely, a number of available tickets behind the goal that I would have thought would have been in our previously 'sold out' allocation. We got tickets in the upper tier last week as nothing available lower tier when it got to members.

Yeah, how hard can it be? Clearly stated “initial allocation” so even if they couldn’t release more over the weekend the it had to be first thing this morning. Probably down to the FA and just further shows how little they regard the fans.

This is what we've done in the end as one of ours is not drinking anyway. Parking on someone's drive for a fiver next to the station. 20mins straight to Waterloo.

This is what was on that City forum which does suggest they've sold little more than 20k so far: L1: 3,573 L2: 486 L5: 2,139 Total Left: 6,198 (+ Approx 6,000 - 7,000) I'm not really knocking them when they've been there so many times and won just about everything thanks to their riches, but could mean we get some of their spares. Carlisle only sold about the same for the JPT final in 2010 which meant we could take around 50,000, if we get any extra it will be nothing like that. Anyone used the trainpal app to buy train tickets, decent prices on there, using a railcard (also £27 discounted railcards purchased through them)

Looked earlier, open return working out about £65 each, 2hr 20min, unless anyone seen cheaper Edit: that's not using Railcards, etc.

If anyone would like to get an idea of what view they're getting from their seat this is pretty handy https://www.wembleystadium.com/plan-your-visit/stadium-guide/view-from-your-seat

Joined 9:20, got in after around 15 mins and then logged in. Selected and put tickets in basket a few times only to say no longer available, eventually got some different ones Now to check the carnage on the trains.

Too late………

Was n’t anything you’d done, they went to ‘unavailable’ last night, must have sold remainder in that section and had to wait until this morning when they released the next block. I bought some earlier and they were selling well. Once this block is sold out there’s just a small block on the end to go.

It was certainly a bitch that Boro and Norwich fluffed their lines at the weekend.

Can’t see that myself, if that was the intention then it would just be cheaper to buy the current half-priced membership which will almost certainly guarantee you a semi-final ticket.

He's Chelsea but no doubt has a soft spot for them having worked down there on radio covering their matches. But you're correct, he is a cunt and somehow steals a living commentating on games.

The SFC hierarchy have certainly kept a low profile for a few months now and appear to have stepped back from trying to reinvent football with Tonda moving away from Russball to great effect. Looks like Dragan has acted and allowed Spors and Eckert to get on and try and right the wrongs on the pitch. That second half at Leicester certainly feels like a turning point. And you can't ignore that there's at least a desire to grow this football club with SR pushing on with the long term commitment of redeveloping the stadium and surrounding waterfront area. Whether it actually happens is clearly uncertain but there's no doubt they're working closely with the city council to progress this. It's been in the public domain on the city planning portal for some time which includes this from the SFC perspective: SCHEDULE 2: OBJECTIVES OF THE PARTIES SOUTHAMPTON FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED: Expand the current footprint of St Mary's Stadium to allow future growth of the stadium (minimum 45,000 capacity stadium for football events and minimum 50,000 capacity for concerts/music/other entertainment events). Work with SCC to understand the development opportunities for the St Mary's Waterfront area, including developing an effective together to acquire and develop land in St Mary's Waterfront to maximise additional significant revenue generating opportunities in the area immediately around the Stadium. Work with SCC to create a 24/7, 365-day set of commercial, leisure, sports and entertainment operations around St Mary's Waterfront. Work in partnership with SCC to develop the optimal use of the land in and around St Mary's Waterfront. Use the operation of such additional activities to make the St Mary's Waterfront the prime sports, leisure and entertainment destination on the South Coast. To become the prime operator and owner of leisure and entertainment facilities in the City. To use the revenues produced by the additional commercial activities to establish Southampton Football Club as a genuinely sustainable Premier League football club and work with SCC to make Southampton attractive to residents and visitors. In collaboration with SCC, development and deliver a strategy to significantly improve the transport infrastructure of the City to make it a destination of choice for visitors nationally and internationally. Grow and develop relationships between the Club, partners and communities across the City Alongside of SCC and as part of their overall masterplan for development, play our role in the sustainable development of the City

Maybe it's a 'alve and 'alve scarf... Do they still do the 'Yellow Pages', they (and a big pair of scissors) would make a lot of confetti!

This has sold out so should probably be open soon. I have bought off the ticket exchange earlier this season.

I'd give all ST holders a couple of days to buy, then straight to members for a day or two and then open it up for ST holders and members to buy extra tickets for mates so more chance of being in the same areas or just straight to general sale. Man City fans ain't buying our tickets, they won't be selling their own allocation. No restricted sales that we've had in the past, not needed.

I’ve read they’re a physical side and will be aggressive and shithousing all over the pitch, fortunately we can do a bit of that ourselves now so should be a feisty affair. “Get into ‘em”

Fans will really play a part now, isn't really showing right now but fatigue will likely set in at some point playing intense games twice a week. We've been patting ourselves on the back for backing against Arsenal , really got to be like that every time. Like Wrexham before, looks a tough test but we can keep this going. 3-0.

Beat me to it, just worry about the next match. We’re only nailed on for one Wembley trip, even if we make the playoffs it will be tough with the heavy match schedule we’ve got coming up, if we did most would still want to be there.

Wrexham's tight little ground will be the polar opposite of the sedate home support of Craven Cottage, it will be noisy and raucous. We only got 1,200 tickets (a sizeable chunk of that went to corp, etc), they'll do well to make a dent in the atmosphere. Winning will help.

How old is he? The club have been doing half price memberships recently so just £7.50 for a junior. Only £15 for an adult which is a small price to pay on top if it shunts you up the pecking order. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/membership
