This is doing my head in and now they say we might not hear until tomorrow. So 80k people don't know what they're doing on Saturday.

I was mildly annoyed

Just got a couple in safe standing. I really thought it wouldn't be as popular given the shines been taken off it. Hopefully sell out.

Get the guy who filmed it to come out and say it was all me and TE had no input. Maybe he can throw in a few tears Kimmy style. Throw him half a mil under the table in the process 👍

Starting to feel quite happy that you can now finish 8th and still get in the playoffs. Will be useful to us if we do get points deductions in future EFL seasons

Does anyone know for how long he was there and filming ? It's kinda crucial for me. If he turned up, filmed for a couple of minutes then got chased out, then that's attempting to cheat not actual cheating.

There will be enough for everyone simply because some people have lost their taste for it. I'll probably snap up a couple if tickets tomorrow at 1.30 but was considering giving it a swerve

So if we all buy our tickets for Wembley and then we get kicked out, can we still keep our tickets and all turn up to boo Middlesborough for 90 minutes ?? 😁

This is crucial. If we get kicked out, we can appeal and that would be horrendous for the EFL. The ramifications are ridiculous. If Boro don't get what they want, all they can do is start off separate legal action against us and maybe the EFL and we'll end up giving them massive compensation if we go up but less if we don't https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-southampton-spygate-hearing-appeal-33949865

So if the play off final is definately on the 23rd, Hull can start selling tickets. What a nightmare for either Boro or Saints though. Shifting all their tickets in a few days. Tickets will be easy to come by too as a lot of people would have already made other arrangements.

All this over a ten year old !!!

Which they could give us the 36,900 in the first place. For the cup semi, once I qualified for a ticket all I could get was cheap ones at the back. Then when they released some more, I was able to get better ones and I had to sell my original 2

How many tickets did we get for 2024 final ? Will it be like the cup semi where we're given an amount and then given more when we sell them out.

Anyone actually excited about going to Wembley again. I don't feel I can unless this is sorted

This. You could see even on the telly that after 20 mins all of their players we're sweating buckets. Our players had barely broken sweat.

What time are the team arriving today ? Did I see 6pm or 6.30 ? Also, I'm going on my own tonight and would like to know the best place to get chatting to Saints fans. Northam fans zone ? Does it cost anything to get in ?

What no one has said is; if we spied on them to gain a tactical advantage then quite clearly it didnt work. They tactically won the first leg. The only reason the tie isn't over is because they couldn't finish. We've climbed the league since January because we've played brilliantly compared to pre January. No tactical master class. The last time Boro were in the prem, they were a joke. As Paul Merson said at the time "it's like they've gone to the biggest party in the world and just sat at the bar drinking coke" F**k off Boro.

Apologies sold immediately

Got a spare ticket if anyone needs one. Face value

If we end up playing Hull in the final, we get priority and get to wear the home kit. Hull can worry about what they wear. Seen Saints enough times at Wembley having to wear away colours (JPT being the exception). Home kit for me. Let's get there first eh.

Pretty sure we'd definitely be wearing our home kit. It doesn't clash with Millwall's and if we play Hull we get priority as we finished higher than them

Interesting that in the play offs 2 years ago our matches were the Sunday then Friday (5 day gap) whereas only 3 days this time round

I reckon we'll put in a dynamite performance on Saturday and get a good win. Draw at home probably

Still not seen tickets come through on the app. Presume same for everyone. Even though it says will come through 7 days before the game

Between 2014 and 2016, all our best players were being poached and then we replaced them with better players making a massive profit in the process. Brighton are doing that now year on year. We even had a manager who got us finishing 8th poached but replaced him with Koeman who gave us 7th and 6th placed finishes
