Saint Garrett

I guess the thing with this year is, that in the past we have jsut been able to take 1000, and then another 500, and then another 500 and then the rest or something, whereas this season, the prem teams will probably want to know from the start how many we want, so not possible to get an initial allocation. The club thinks we can sell that many, or atleast have given the fans the chance. Wouldn't be surprised if this strategy changes though if we do not take 2500+ up there. If it was a 3pm Saturday game, even at those prices I think we'd be close to selling out, but with it not finishing until 6pm Sunday, I just cant see it.

I guess it will depend on how many extra fans we've picked up over the summer. But on for that much on a Sunday at 4pm when I can just watch it on TV. Would probably have to take a day off work as well. Think I'll save money for Arsenal away.

And the club are expecting to sell out the 2800 allocation on a 4pm Sunday SKY match......no chance at those prices.

Or just have another thread just for Dorkish and TCM. That would stop me having to troll through all their petty crap.

To the lounge with you....

Theere is literally no point trying to disagree with MLG. Even if he is plain wrong, he is still right in his mind.

Really?

No...why would they? Are you ITK ?!

This...its boring.

Ok, well that still isnt CB is it ?!

Yer, I agree Puncheon will probably start. Can't agree with CB though. Seaborne struggled in L1 before his injury. He was unconvincing in the few games he played at the start of last season, and you think he could step in when required in the Prem? No thanks. Stephens has only ever played in L1 at RB, I'm not sure we should be expecting him to be able to hold his own just yet. IMO need to get rid of Seaborne and bring in 2 CB's, 1 who will be first choice.

I agree as I did all of them ! ha

Jos was captain in the friendly the other day.

I think the Waterloo is more fun, but I did better on the Wellington when I played on there. But neither of them were particularly good scores !! ha

Ha. I can certainly understand why the higher handicapped players struggle...as basically if you get in the rough, you lost your ball, or even if you find it, you can't get out !

First 'proper' pre season game? Davis Clyne Fonte Hooiveld Fox Guly Morgan Ward-Prowse Lallana J-Rod Lambert Subs - the rest.

Hoping previous history will be used but don't think it will be. I have my plans on which aways I want to do this season, but don't think I am going to be able to afford all the ones which I want to go to. Would have gone to Man City, but with it being moved to Sunday, it means I'll have to take the day off work on the Monday. Not ideal whatsoever. Think Arsenal will be my first awaythis season, however quite happy with the less glamourous aways earning more points, as I'll just go to whatever when I'm available.

We have Japanese fans with Lee....now we're getting Dutch visitors to the board! Welcome! Sounds like we are doing some extensive scouting in Holland, although wasn't Pieters linked with Newcastle ?!

I've only got a ST this year to give me some kind of chance to get away tickets, never had a problem in previous seasons, especially the last 7!

The problem for the club with this is that they don't make any money out of away tickets, so they'll want to encourage people to go to home games...but no doubt the ticket system will be a bit dodgy at times. This is a bit annoying thouhgh, as I am sharing my ST with someone else, so does that mean that they won't have any priorities but I will?

Sounds like it has fallen through then. Did this fall through, so now we've gone after Lens ?

I think we have our fair share of strikers now. He wouldn't give us anything that Sharp and J-Rod can't do. I think we ended up getting Sharp instead of Hooper in January to just get us over the line and now Hooper is probably regretting his decision to stay up in Scotland.

People are saying he's only good when played alongside a better CB....Surely it's the better CB who is carrying him then? A bit like Killer carried Claus for the last few years. As soon as Killer got injured, Claus was awful.

Kjaer is absolutely class, no chance. Although....after a little google search, apparently they'd sell him for 6m euros...would be a bargain, but would haev thought he'd want to play in Europe.
