To be honest playing the north east has been fairly unlucky for us over the years, the shirt colour doesn't generally make a difference. Rick?

Millwall is the safest away day in the country if you want it to be. London Bridge, train direct to their ground, do the cowards walk into the away section that's fenced off, and the same back after.

I dunno when i went there last time we got promoted i was surprised by how much it had improved as a city, seemed to be a lot of development there, especially around the university. Some good spots to both eat and drink i thought and pretty similar to southampton in many ways. One thing i hope if it's Boro is that we manage to find a way of beating our North East curse, because i dread every game in that corner of the country and our record there is appalling

Live sports and people in replica shirts? Dear god no, we wouldn't frequent such a low class establishment as that. Not when we're in our country's capital city. There are much finer establishments to be visited.

A grade 2 listed victorian pub that has been used in multiple tv shows and has a fantastic outside space whilst still being on the tube line to wembley

The green man has to be the worst pub in london, why our fans all turn up to it to drink almost £10 pints of terrible beer out of plastic pots, queue for an hour to get served and sing songs at the minimum wage bar staff who don't want to be there i have no idea. We on the other hand will be frequenting much higher end establishments off the beaten track that provide stylish surroundings, good beer and are away from football fans.

The central --> basingrad --> reading --> paddington route might be viable but i guess that'll be packed by saints travelling from north hampshire?

Guess it's a pay off of speed getting up vs not enough seats tbf, but yeah it's been a pain a lot of the times i've had to use it this season

For people thinking about doing the cross country southampton/reading/paddington route i use it semi regularly to get down to home games and a word of warning it'll be an absolute nightmare, a lot of this year it's been reduced to 3 coaches so there's never any space. It might take a bit longer on the rerouted waterloo train but it's definitely the better option as there's more trains and far more coaches on them too

As things stand currently i can't make the date of the final, so put your house on us nicking a win

Same as it was for any away game, go in, select seats, go to the allocation screen and allocate seats to supporters numbers. Had one extra to add so just used the "add new supporter" button in that checkout flow and jobs a gud un. As far as i saw the whole thing was identical to every single other away game i've done and a million times better than the god awful booking system for the play offs that was run by ticketmaster

Don't know about the membership side but the hospitality will definitely count as a purchased game. I was actually a bit surprised how easy it was this morning, got in just after 9:30, booked five seats all behind the goal in the slightly cheaper seats, got the booking confirmation a couple of minutes later and all done. Didn't look like many had gone when i logged in either. I'm sure the club will find a way to bugger it up closer to the game mind.

Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of people buy tickets with no intention of going and thinking it'll jump them up the queue for semi final tickets, but they'll be disappointed to learn that those tickets won't count as they only count once the game has been played

on sale tuesday 👀

yup it is, i have no idea why anyone buys a rail card or oyster anymore as they're not worth spending money on
