The Daily Echo can't get stories from the club so instead go to Nick Illingsworth chairman of the now defunct Saints Trust for opinions. Why is Mr Illingsworth still/ever the representative of Saints fans? The Saints trust was pointless in the first place, and now really doesn't have any point or power. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4818777.Saints_fans_flock_back_to_St_Mary_s/

I'll be on the halfway line in the Itchen as normal so I certainly won't do it. I was just raising the point that it is open to exploitation and may leave gaps in the Chapel for what could be close to a sell out.

Well its full of young families so they are hardly going to make the same noise as the Northam.

No chance. The stewards on the turnstile won't give a damn. What if someone had a genuine reason why the kid they brought the ticket for couldn't go(illness etc)? They wouldn't turn away the adult without the child.

Did the club not realise that single adults could buy an adult/child pair for £10 and only using the adult ticket? Leaving the child seat empty rather than paying £22 for a single seat with an equivalent view, possibly even selling the child ticket aswell and making money back on the £10 outlay. Basically this deal is £10 for a single adult seat. Not that I would do it, as sitting in the family enclosure would be my idea of hell!

If anything that makes it more likely they will sell in January for a reduced rate if he doesn't show signs of signing a new deal.

Well any decent commentator isn't going to be working for highlights on club websites. Hard to attract anyone decent to do such a job so of course the quality will be more amateur in quality.

Saints player just uses the BBC Solent commentary. If you don't like it complain to the BBC not the club. Or just listen to the opposition BBC regional commentary on Saints Player.

When people leave you have to stand to let them past. That obstructs the view of the person behind and behind them and a domino effect starts and everyone has to stand for rows and rows backwards. Also not everyone is able to keep standing and sitting continuously, some people are old, frail etc and unable to move quickly to let people past and obstruct people behind for longer. I'm 6 foot 2 btw so hardly short. If anything this makes it worse because it means I have to stand to let people past as can't move my legs enough in the space.

I actually played to a reasonably high level of Plymouth Argyle's youth team

So as long as I'm young and cute and make you laugh when I run on you wouldn't mind me potentially stopping Saints getting enough points for the playoffs?

A line has to be drawn somewhere. Far easier to make it "no-one is tolerated at any time on the pitch" rather than have a grey hazy approach where kids are allowed sometimes. What age is the cut off for acceptable and cute? As I have said before a dangerous precedent is set the day clubs ignore people entering the field of play.

So if I run on the pitch against Exeter whilst Saints are attacking and the ref stops play you will laugh it off?

It wasn't an offense in 1966. It is now and is against the law to enter the field of play. Yes, the child is below age of responsibility but the parents/guardians should be dealt with as they are responsible for him if they are with him at the stadium or not especially as many have suggested it isn't this kids first time doing this. As for what Pardew said I think he should retract it and just because the manager said it doesn't make him right. He may have thought it funny but the club should think more carefully about giving publicity and congratulations to offenders no matter what age. They also put his picture on the OS giving the kid a well done badge and encouraging his impressionable peers to do the same in the future.

So if he or someone else does this for the rest of the season you will think its OK? There has to be a line somewhere. The game wasnt even over. Many have said this isn't the first time this lad has done it either. You can't ignore it, as sets a precedent.

Would you agree the parents should be banned from St Mary's? If not why not? If a child misses school his parents/guardians are fined or imprisoned.

It is just League games.

Probably a case of one person making the rumour up and posting it someone online. Another person seeing that rumour and posting it somewhere else and it just snowballing and based on nothing.

Rickie Lambert is a fellow scouser so he can translate.

From how it was worded yesterday if any stadiums mess up or FIFA don't like them, they will then look at Leicester, Derby and Hull.

It is an experiment they are doing. Mid week games would normally finish close to 10pm on a school night. By starting at 7pm it may encourage more parents to bring children to the game.
