Their fans certainly are looking on the link someone stuck up earlier. They're top of the table and a popular feeling on there is the 3 teams that come down are pretty much shite and there for the taking. Still struggling to sell their tickets though, looks like they've sold around 1800,

Racist.

Only around 1500 left, as usual, most either side of the aways. Should sell out to home fans by the weekend. Confident of 3 points here if we sort it out up front - but still got their handy keeper to overcome.

Good pricing for this assuming we get charged the same: £12 adult, £6 U21s & over 65s, £2 U18s https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/ticketing-southampton-carabao-cup-blackburn-rovers

It may very well turn out that the player and his agent are just using the SFC link to leverage a better deal at a higher level club, ala Gakpo. Annoying but understandable really, and little SR can do about that situation. We're clearly after him, reports suggest Will Still is an admirer, and Saint-lambden appears pretty reliable with his information.

Typical, cup-tied………………. #tumbleweed

Just pipped for distance by that other...ahem...southern club Wolverhampton. Shit draw. Edit: Tell a lie, just checked and Norwich 190 miles, Swansea 170, Wolverhampton and Plymouth both over 150.

Wow! I wonder how that translates? Christophe 👍🏼

Tbh, it wasn’t really aimed at you in particular, just a response to the points you raised and how if you’re sat at different ends of the stadium how contrasting the experience is. Maybe just a flaw in (until recently) new stadium design, although the ones that have gone up recently like Spurs and, particularly Everton, they done a lot of work to enhance noise and atmosphere.

I think this just goes to show how bad the acoustics are inside St Mary's. If you were sat in or near the Northam you would probably say the complete opposite. The noise just doesn't carry around the stadium well. There's no doubt the atmosphere dipped significantly once they went ahead, there was certainly a collective "here we go again" vibe taking grip. That was also really the first time you could hear the Wrexham fans, understandably they were very excited to be ahead (and temporarily, top of the league) and continue to be so for the next 70 minutes. If you're in the Chapel of course you're getting it full on from the aways right next to you but rather than have a pop at the Northam who are the just about only ones producing any noise from the home fans, make your own noise and maybe encourage a few more around you to get involved.

Knock,, knock Who’s there? Wendy Wendy who? ”Wendy Saints, go marching in……….”

The Northam was decent but (as a famous Taff once said, it’s not unusual) the rest of the ground only woke up once we equalised. OK at the start but as you’d expect, once they went ahead it lifted them and knocked ours back. They’ve had a right pop at our support on their forum, they were getting nothing from the fans either side of them and tbf it looked pretty much dead down there from the Northam. Edit: "Humpty Dumpty giving it large" 😃

I might let out a little chuckle if a big club come in and gazumps the scallies. Everton, know your place

Reasonable level for the lad to move onto and nice payday. They’re a decent stepping stone club to get him a move to one of the big boys fairly quickly. And then another fat paycheque for us with a hefty sell-on when he does.

I’ve always imagined ‘Farmer Saint’ as a bit of a Brighton Jeremy ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ type, now I’m convinced

Troll. Dinlo. 12 year old - take your pick.

Good points. I guess the number meeting the current criteria to buy tickets for this may have hit a ceiling for those eligible. Don't know when the next window of opportunity opens? Next sales window now open: https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/portsmouth-h-ticket-update Yeah not expecting to sell them all out, Sheff Utd only give the lower tier for league games but still 3,000 and can't see us taking that many midweek in between two other northern games days apart. I think Hull and Derby offer around 2,500 which is more likely being Saturdays. The last time we played Hull a couple of years back we took 2,000 and 3 days later took a similar number to Preston midweek which was also live on Sky. And I remember good numbers travelling north back in the League One days.

I don’t know if it’s particularly an acid test as it’s a demanding period of away games around then. 10 days after Hull we’re away to Sheff Utd midweek and 3 days later back up to Derby. That’s a lot of miles and time on the road over a couple of weeks so understandable if fans will be a bit more selective on away games. If we’re seeing sell-outs (or near enough) for those then that will speak volumes of our travelling support. A workmate booked tickets for the skates yesterday and said there was still over 1500 tickets left (again half of them in the blocks either side of the aways). A bit surprising.

…and I was there to see us lose 0-1 at home in the FA Cup, 73/74ish

I'd imagine you've seen this but most give it as near Bishop's Waltham as the source of the (previously named) Hamele https://www.hantsfieldclub.org.uk/publications/hampshirestudies/digital/1900s/Vol_6/Trinder_pt3.pdf "The river has its origin above Bishop's Waltham in the junction of various brooks*" (*ahem...assume not cup-tied!) Edit: I knew this fella a few years back (decent footballer, Saints fan and I'm pretty sure he played for Southampton Boys back in the seventies), he's a river-keeper and walked the Test from source to Southampton Water https://www.hiwwt.org.uk/blog/guest-blogger/tales-riverbank-donnys-test-character A good watch on YouTube

Yeah will be interesting to hear what they’re paying. Should be at least £40 if matching equivalent seats in the Kingsland North (Itchen North £45) unless both clubs have agreed to a reciprocal price for both games. If you want to sit/stand alongside the skates in the Kingsland it’s £55 and will probably be the last tickets to go.

Northam quickly sold out for skates, blocks either side of aways around half sold when I looked earlier

It's a bit strange, it's said sold out/tickets unavailable a few times now over the last few days but a while later a number of tickets again become available. I've got tickets but I've kept an eye on it as it weirdly kept changing. Earlier there were rows of four or five seats together in various blocks which may suggest they were staff seats put up for sale. I haven't seen any mention of the Ticket Exchange being in operation which usually happens after it's sold-out. So if you're still after tickets but keep getting 'not available' maybe worth to keep checking back. Edit: Still happening, earlier a few seats in 3 different blocks but all sold and now 4 seats have popped up in different blocks again. Maybe a glitch in the system.

Had a look on a fans forum and the club and supporters are expecting big things from him, they've slapped a 60m Euros release clause on his 4-year contract... Highlights his greatest moment in football as the 23/24 Play-Off final. https://www.fcporto.ws/forum/threads/jan-bednarek.27161/ Good luck to him, what a great club to sign for at this stage of his career.
