My Grandad died close to this day a few years back. I go to loads of Saints games. He was 79 when he died. Can I have a minutes applause in the 79th minute please? Thanks for your support. Oh and a girl that works in the ticket office has breast cancer apparently, she's 21 years old. Minutes applause on the 21st minute please. I've gone on the Spurs forums to alert them to this too.

Any idea how many sold? Initial allocation was 1,400 and haven't heard anything about that being sold or not.

I think those of us that actually follow Saints away aren't enjoying it as much as last season.

How any Saints fan could say they wouldn't mind him back because he's a decent manager is beyond me. I wouldn't care if he was as good as f*cking Mourinho. He's a twitchy, disloyal Skate c*nt and shouldn't be welcome in the city of Southampton let alone anywhere near our football club.

F*ck off. Why is this b*llocks even on our forum?

I think we'll be alright. Got no reason, just think we'll be fine.

On sale day after Leeds- 31st October. Not bad pricing, thought it'd be more. Why are we category B though?

Obviously what happened was awful but I too don't get this clapping b*llocks. Villa do it for Petrov still, how long do they carry it on for? When do they stop it? Where do you draw the line at who gets minutes silence/applause or not? Next we'll be doing it for players parents etc, what about fans that have died? Minutes applause during the game is a very Liverpool thing to do. If you want to support him then send some money to his charity.

What happened to stability and giving a manager time? We've called for stability for years and now a few games in we're calling for his head already. Knee jerk.

Keep Adkins. Even if we go down.

I think we'll win. Don't know why.

Guly was quite good yesterday. He was nowhere near one of our worst players. I presume the people spouting off about him didn't go.

Someone that posted just above you has a spare ticket..

Next to Debenhams I think.

Royal Oak has signs up saying they'll be showing every Saints game this season.

I've noticed a lot of the people shouting their Adkins out ******** have a very low number of posts. Can't help but feel they don't really go to watch Saints much and have only just started coming or have just come back now we're in the Prem.

Pathetic. We're not in the relegation zone and have had a very hard start. November is a crucial month with a lot of winnable games, let's at least see where we are then.

So, how many sold then?

I think we should be selling out every game too. The amount of stick I've got about us not being able to sell out even our first game back at home in 7 years and every other home game we've had..

We sold 3,000 comfortably for a Tuesday night game there. We should be selling 3,000 very quickly for this one. Surprised we didn't just ask for them all straight away.

Anyone that wants Adkins out is a c*nt.

Or encourage some of us to buy kids tickets...

I'd have thought that the 1,800 would have sold out already. We took 3,000 easily last season there and on a Tuesday night/Valentines day.

To be fair MLG did say we'd sell out most games. Villa is one of the bigger games and they're one of the biggest clubs. Sold out away end means there are less home tickets to sell than Wigan game for example. I'll be our only home game in 4 weeks (2 weeks since United and 2 weeks until Fulham, bar the Sheff Weds cup game) so it's not like fans will need to pick or choose between games coming up soon. We need a win big time which makes the game more important. Not sure how well tickets sell though in the week before games/walk up so maybe we may still sell out? Just over 1,000 to go, don't think a sell out is likely.

1,154 tickets remaining. Pretty much all of them in the Itchen/Chapel corner.
