But which ticket would offer the better view in the ground??!!?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Though I guess that may need 8,000 Inter fans not to turn up who went to the Beer Sheva game. Possible, I guess...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So then, based on their attendance against Beer Sheva, we could have half the attendance for our game there! Pomps fans would be distraught if this were to happen..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very chuffed at the extra allocation. Well done Saints! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can any ST holder buy a ticket today, or just ST holders with no aways? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wouldn't be putting a bet on tickets being available for members at all, given the rate the ST with no aways mob seem to have been buying them up this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

None of that convenient caper whatsoever with Virgin Mobile, FFS. Rang them earlier, it's £5 just for 1 measly MB of roaming data outside the EU, FFS. And £4 per minute to make a call. I am probably going to have to live like I'm in the 1990's again. It may be bliss.

It is I guess one of the first rules of business. Do not upset your core customer base. In this industry, that is season-ticket holders. They stump up the cash to watch their team over a season, and that can't be argued with. As a non season ticket-holder, I absolutely have to accept this makes complete business sense. I would imagine there are fans of teams who qualify for Europe every season (Arsenal would be a good example with their regular empty seats at The Emirates) who buy season tickets just so that they can get priority for Europeean games. Makes no difference to the club whether they actually turn up for the Prem games or not.

Don't know. I'm a member, so hoping it goes further down than that.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I assume that using a mobile phone out in Israel will be dead pricey, what with them not being in the EU and all that (?).

The ticket office advised me this morning that there were about 1,500 left, which could (hopefully) suggest that there are a separate 500 set aside for official package trips, that they aren't including in the number deemed to be available for sale. Not sure how that would work though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got the call last night as well. Was quite hard to hear the guy whilst in a busy Spitfire. Sounded like the ticket collection point might be pretty close to the ground though, bit different from Herning.

I think that's only the case if you are a Season Ticket holder, which I am not. Maybe they will throw it open to members who go to Israel after the 7 aways cut-off....

Duplicate post.

Dennis Wise. Possibly scraping the barrel a tad here.

He talks like a proper carrot cruncher.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Bertrand was used sparingly in the Europa. Can see Targett starting on Thursday. And am also half-expecting McCarthy and Yoshida to play. As for Long being on the bench yesterday, I think it's deja vu from two years ago, and he's having to prove himself again to a manager who isn't too sure about him.

+1.

Am I the only person with this horrible feeling that Puel will put the reserves in for Israel, and save our best players for Leicester away?

Should I just drop you somewhere in Luton on the Friday night, then you won't have so far to travel on the Sunday?? The best part of two days in Luton, that must be an appealing prospect......

Received our group booking of three Sparta tickets in the post today at my gaff. And no other tickets from the bundle. So that seems consistent.

I have read three-quarters of the book, and am not convinced that the author is Dave Kitson. I was looking for clues and thought it might be Kevin Phillips, but he slags off Sunderland quite a bit, so I guess that ruled that out. The guy is a bit of an agent, does Dave Kitson do that now? And BTW, the guy is generally pretty complimentary about Saints in the book. He hates Chelsea, and in particular John Terry.

So, in a Top Trumps type format, does Israel beat Midtyjlland in weighting? Guess the club have to weigh up various factors. Cost of beer, awkwardness of flights, chance of running into Hamas suicide bombers etc etc.

Interesting that no differential is made between members regarding their away game attendance. Possibly due to the short timeframe involved, I guess.

Actually, having looked at the link again, I think you're right, they have increased it by £50; it looks like it's now £649 if sharing a twin room, or £699 if in a room to yourself. So would be £1,298 for you and Mrs. G.
