Football Special

It's to do with new 3rd kit launch

I wonder if they'll bring them over Itchen Bridge as makes sense to approach the ground from the south, bit different to last time where they parked on Brittania Road

Sunday morning traffic tends to be very quiet so probably the best time to do, I expect they'll have them parked up and in the ground by 11am. Hopefully they publish the route so others can avoid being stuck behind them and travel a different way, with southampton central station closed most of our fans will end up driving unfortunately, local bus services not great on a sunday either

Is anyone able to see how many tickets are left for the Pompey game? I'd assume most members who wanted a ticket and qualified to buy yesterday would have done so now

Yep, people have given Dragan the benefit of the doubt to see how his new structure does but at the moment it seems like the new team is same as the old, just with a preference to buy from the German market. Having watched pre season games and looking at our likely XI I see no reason to be excited for the coming season unfortunately

There will be a decent crowd by kick off with late purchasers, Brighton brining a couple of thousand away fans, probably get close to 15k crowd I reckon not bad for a friendly

Loans are needed to get that level of player in thechampionship, unless you mean don't get promoted then we don't have to spend those millions again

Agree, I've got a feeling we'll still get some good loans in

Of course wait until end of window but don't be surprised when we struggle for points first couple of months of the season

I've managed to get tickets for me and my young kids right next to away fans, we're knitting a friendship scarf that we'll pass across the divide and try to break the circle of hate #footballfriends

That's correct I had to call up due to an issue, interesting recorded message says please note Wrexham and Ipswich games are already completely sold out. Thought exchange would open for Wrexham? Is that not a thing this season ?

It counts on your account and will appear in your ticket app, but shows on their purchase history as transaction on their account

We can all see it coming 😞

Doesn't seem that good a deal to me, huge lack of quality throughout the team and lack of balance, IF we end up with Baz back in I'd say that's the end of automatic promotion hopes

Awful for the fans, I've not checked but told they have most expensive season tickets and replica shirts, being mugged by a rogue owner

Yeah not too bad, no date changes mainly just slightly different ko times, Charlton away would be better 3pm allowing more time for pre match refreshments

I notice they've made the pricing for the Skates game Cat A* , bit cheeky really , assume it will be only game this season at such a price

Real shame we haven't got them first game of the season again, have they got enough players to field a team?

Not seen in writing but verbally that's what they said at the meeting apparently last night, context being we're being given same allocation at Fratton

It was discussed at the meeting apparently, both teams to get 2700

Seems to be both teams have agreed on 2700 allocation for each club so that's a good allocation for us at Fratton if true

Still on sale to season ticket holders with 1 away credit, 53 seats still available mostly "restricted view"

Don't worry we can use this seasons shit show instead

Got an email from the club offering discounted tickets, can see why that's not appealing , anything like last seasons league game at St Mary's will trigger PTSD in the fan base

We are so easy to defend against , same as last season , no threat and no chance of a top 2 finish
