Yeah it's a great city for a piss up, the ground is fairly central and you don't get any bother. One of the better aways in the country really

Good game for all those people complaining they never qualify for tickets to get a ticket to an away game, no way this doesn't got members at least, probably even general sale. I'm sure they'll all be really happy about that and be snapping up tickets right?

The point of the bubble opposition though is that getting rid of it means everyone's point of view is heard, keeping it means only those that support it are heard. Without a bubble those that want to use buses can, those that don't don't. Also it's vitally important that people do put across their own voice on fab, because we already know from previous versions that the clubs sweep opposition under the table, fill it with lackies and then claim they've consulted the fans. If there are no dissenting voices there's no point in the FAB, and to be honest your message here doesn't make me think you're right for it if you're not going to challenge the club off your own back

that reason would be the pervert powder they're shoving up their nose

Well you have my vote then, because it's the single most important issue for me. In fact i can't think of many other issues that are more the kind that FAB should exist for. A fan advisory board should be actively pointing out that overtly draconian decisions on fans ability to travel, when we are almost the only club that still has to go through this, is outdated and not based in reality. I know that it was Newcastle and Sunderland's version of FAB that got the bubble removed for their derby, and they didn't wait for the club to ask them they refused to take it off the table as an agenda item.

Still no response from @St Louis or @Golden Balls about if they'll oppose the bubble, so before they've begun they're already ignoring fans. Seems like they're the perfect fit for FAB

They see him here, They see him there. Shirt over a hoody and he doesn't wash his hair. He's a dedicated follower of Southampton. Oh yes he is (oh yes he is) And if there's one thing that he loves, well it's the megastore. One week he's in yellows, and the next week he's in stripes. He's a dedicated follower of Southampton

@Golden Balls @St Louis are either of you two willing to stand up and oppose the bubble, because if not you're not getting my vote

Skate cunt i wonder if his heart is still in pompey? https://www.pressreader.com/uk

He wasn't a fan, a season ticket holder, a mascot and claimed their fa cup win as the best day of his life. Why don't you care about that?

he was a pompey season ticket holder who called their fa cup win the best day of his life, was a mascot for them, and counted andy awford as his favourite player. I really don't understand why people seem to want to erase this because it doesn't fit the narrative, he's a skate cunt, he was born there and supported them, and held a season ticket. If people are going to say he's not then no one is. Then again they'll also be the same people singing "we hate pompey", or fathers gun, when clearly they don't actually hate them. I on the other hand do.

Ward-Prowse is a skate cunt who's well past his best and nothing like the kind of player we need right now, he's too slow, has barely played recently and will force us back to death by passing. It's pure nostalgia signing, and like Romeo will be a massive failure and waste of money.

Exactly my thinking, i've got them down as top two with west ham personally, and think they're too good for us

Gonna get costly if we keep throwing balls in the bin if we don't do much with it tbf. Unless you mean pass the ball and are just speaking MBA nonsense for no good reason

Draconian maybe, but if you don't go in hard you encourage them, and the next thing you know you have mouth breathing wools sat in their bedroom streaming themselves telly clapping games. You need to put a hard line down to stop this nonsense early

£500m if they sack Martin

Doesn't go far enough, should introduce the death penalty for vloggers in my opinion

Wimbledon's long ball football meant they scored lots of goals it baffles me that people don't find it enjoyable to watch long ball football?

My biggest complaint with Martin wasn't that his football was shit, or that he lost more games than any manager in our histroy in the top flight, or that we conceded more goals than any other season in our history in the top flight, or that we finished on the lowest points total ever in history, or that he was arrogant and refused to change his style despite the fact it was catastrophically awful to do in the top flight. No, none of them. My biggest compliant is his style of football sapped all and every enjoyment out of the game, even when we won it was akin to watching paint dry, turgid, slow awful stuff, it made jim magilton look like maradonna

Properly shit draw, the league cup is one of the few opportunities we have to get new away grounds and nothing is more boring than drawing a club we've played a million times before - and are in the same division - at home

a 40min prog rock opus that sings about the reclaiming of the water around pilgrims gate to allow for the city of southampton to be extended and bigger dry docks added, it also references the sacking of Southampton in 1338 by the french and reaches it's crescendo at the 17minute mark when the support back it with polyrhythmic clapping and dissonant chord progressions, it is a masterpiece that will win an Ivor Novello award for composition, the first football song to ever achieve this. Or it's another song that's been used a million times before with ever so slightly different words. YOU DECIDE!

I really hope someone asks a really important question about things that matter, like stadium expansion, the women's team, or the price of a pint. Even better if they preface it with exactly where they're from and how long they've been a season ticket holder. Those things really do give the forum full value for all of us

Having spoken to the FSA last year the only way it gets overturned is if both fans groups at the meetings oppose it, as it stands it feels like the club is selecting the FAB specifically to have people in it that won't oppose it. In which case the only other action is to take it into our own hands, i'd be in favour of buying tickets and not going, but unless it's the whole away end doing it it won't work The other thing that needs to be done is to get people to change the narrative in the press, as things stand the press love the bubble because they can use it as an example of how fierce the rivalry is (and god knows a lot of our noddies do the same), what we need is voices in the press pointing out the hypocrisy of the fact we are one of only two games in the country to have it, and that the arrests were lower for the train in 2019 than the bubble last season. The problem with that is that as fans we're not massively media savvy, and it seems that the one person who is has become a club shill on this issue (and i like Nick I as a person, i'm just massively disappointed with him on this)

Absolute joke, pretty much made my mind up i'm binning it off as it's completely fucking draconian and unnecessary, just a way for Hants old bill to top up their over time Should do what Bristol City did with Cardiff when their game was a bubble, 200 of them turned up to a pub in Cardiff and watched the game in the pub to make a point

Yeah for all the complaints about people buy tickets to sell the blocks booked out for corporate/club were far more of an issue to people getting tickets. I'd hazard a guess that the people buying tickets to sell is probably less than a hundred (in fact i wouldn't be surprised if it's less than a score), but those blocks can add up to easily a couple of hundred from an allocation.
