Must admit....It has brought a bit of a lump to my throat.

They did indeed sound snowed under when I called half hour ago

Don't think you can do PMs if not a signed up member of the message board? Here's the details: ring 02380 711912 and ask for Kelly Southwell (or one of her colleagues) and mention that you're aware of an initiative to donate tickets to the kid's school.

Spread the word

So, Southampton Leisure Holdings does have other revenue generating subsidiaries other than the Football Club? For example, proceeds from a rock concert would go to the Stadium company rather than directly into SFC or SLH? Which blows the Football League's argument about SFC being the sole revenue generator out of the water, does it not?

Apologies if I've jumped the gun by posting the direct contact number

I hope they don't mind me posting this but it is for a great cause (twice over)...ring 02380 711912 and ask for Kelly Southwell and mention that you're aware of an initiative to donate tickets to the kid's school. They chose the best seats for me

I said I "wanted to donate them to the the kids school via the Saints in the Community initiative" or words to that effect...they were fully aware that of the initiative being kicked off from here via Roswell. Ask for Kelly Southwell if all else fails - she sent me the initial email reply.

Have just booked and donated mine....very quick and easy....no membership number needed...just a credit or debit card....

I don't think so. I believe you just buy tickets as you would normally do and they will simply place them in the 'donate' basket rather than the 'for collection' one

Yep, they will go to disadvantaged kids....via the initiative that Roswell outlines above...I've fired off my email...am surprised the club didn't think of such a scheme before now....nice one Roswell

Roswell - probably worth raising this as a separate thread - otherwise it'll get lost in the bun fight. PM on it's way

You would have thought so. If it's a choice between selling Dyer on the cheap or the club ceasing to exist then it's proverbial "non brainer" isn't it?

No, it's the late great Arthur English

..

How is withholding your hard earned cash now any different to those who chose to withhold theirs before?

Baton down the hatches...

You can buy a ticket and not turn up....

I've never had to show my card when picking up tickets on the day of the game. Usually just give my surname then they ask for first line of address before handing over envelope

Nice one BTW.

Your wish is my command my flexible friend....

Sounds good to me. Do we know how deeply this has been looked into by the Football Club directors and/or the Administrator of SLH? One would hope that they haven't just brushed off the idea without fine tooth combing it?

Anyone know how much of their allocation Burnley have sold? Would it be worth posting a rallying call on their fan forum(s) too? I guess it's a bit short notice for a Burnley fan to decide to come down at the last minute but if every little helps....?

Cheers. So does that enhance the Football League's stance, or ours, in the dispute over the rules?

I can't go but will buy a ticket at the last minute (just in case we get close to a full house as I wouldn't want to ironically deprive someone of a seat - unlikely I know). How about those season ticket holders who can afford it also buy a 'ghost' ticket tomorrow morning before leaving for the ground? A bit of a big ask given your long term committment to the club through season ticket purchase but as Duncan says, it could (will) make all the difference.
