When the Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Man City tickets go sale you won't have your pick until the members have had theirs. - 21,000 season tickets holders - 3,000 away fans - 1,700 hospitality seats - for example 2,000 members snapped up tickets Leaves you scrambling for a seat on general sale with roughly only 4,000 left in the stadium. Yes, if you are early you will get one, but if you are not quick it'll sellout and you'd be left without. Plus those 4,000 will largely be in areas with the poorer views so you'd have less choice. Perhaps I've been conservative with the member numbers, if its larger then the general sale numbers will be squeezed even more for the more attractive games and it'll be even harder to get a good seat.

So what? Being a season ticket holder or member would have given you a better choice of view. You got a ticket before it sold out as you were quick, had you not been then you wouldn't have a ticket as it sold out and would have been left without one like many others.

Your point being? You had less choice when picking a seat compared to a member and had you left it until yesterday you would have been unable to get a ticket apart from in hospitality.

How many players from those sides would you want in our starting XI? Lets take Stoke for example... are you aware so far this summer they have lost Begovic, Moses and N'Zonzi from their squad of last season. Pretty big players for them. Have they replaced them with sufficient quality to overtake us?

As far as evidence goes its umm... not great... Troy Bennett‏@troydbennett Steven Caulker in Harley St. Medical? #saintsfc #qpr not good photo, but was him. Even if it is him in the photo, it certainly doesn't prove that he is only his way to Saints. Its just a photo of a man walking down a street.

Why is it irrelevant? You were the one that made the claim that Saints lost out to WBA. Why are you now backtracking? How do you know what the club is doing? Just because things aren't being reported on a daily basis in the press, that doesn't mean the club aren't working on something. Why have you limited it to only those two possibilities? Why do you think something can only happen if its in the public domain?

Come on, you must be trolling now. Please show me good evidence that Saints definetely made a bid for Chester? You've already been shown to jump to conclusions over Chambers. Wenger today stated Saints haven't approached Arsenal to sign him on loan. You really need to stop taking every single press report as 100% true and then twist it negatively to find something to beat Saints with.

This summer we sold 2 starters and replaced them with Portuguese and Dutch international players of a good calibre. Last summer we sold 4 starters and improved first XI quality and squad depth = got more points, more goals, less conceded & higher league finish No player in their right mind would do that if offered similar amounts of playing time. I very much doubt Saints we interested in him at all, let alone competing with bids and contracts with West Brom for him. We'll be looking for a higher calibre of first choice centre back than Chester.

Wenger today confirmed Saints haven't approached Arsenal for Chambers... "They didn’t try to get Chambers back on loan" So... as I said earlier... you were jumping to conclusions!

2012/13 - Dalek's head - 17th Reality - 14th 2013/14 - Dalek's head - 17th Reality - 8th 2014/15 - Dalek's head - 17th Reality - 7th

Well thats not true.

8 Vitesse Arnhem players were refused UK entry, had to spend time in Paris getting Visas sorted. Not great preparation for game on Thursday as missed training.

The CEO & founder of our sponsor thinks so... Steven Lewis ‏@steve_veho 2h2 hours ago Great to see sell out against #Vitesse and all season tickets sold. We need a bigger stadium! #saintsfc

Making a song with all the profits going to charity is "cringeworthy"? I don't see how you've compared that to this...

and again...

(I note you didn't actually address any of my rebuttal, so I expect you'll be continuing with the same line of alpine_saint "logic" in the future)

Philip Buckingham ‏@PJBuckingham 12m12 minutes ago James Chester close to leaving #hcafc. West Brom the likely destination.

Ronald Koeman ‏@RonaldKoeman 11m11 minutes ago Todays training in the stadium! What a great pitch to play football! Thursday sold out! Thanks for the support!

Why? We don't need another striker and if Lambert moves it'll be to get regular gametime which he wouldn't get at Saints.

Would you like a bite? "As usual", you mean like last summer when many people (yourself included) predicted our transfer actively would get us relegated and it ended up with Saints finishing in their highest ever Premier League position and qualifying for Europe. Do you not think the recruitment department deserves some credit over the last 6 years for seeing us rise from 68th to 7th in England? What do you mean by this? Just because you make a signing in August, or even late in August doesn't mean it is a "panic buy". Alderweireld and Mane were signed late in August last summer, have you considered other factors mean some transfers are delayed due to clubs holding out for money or trying to sign replacements and players waiting to see if they can get a better deal? We definitely need a centre back or two. But do you honestly think the club aren't working on this? Just because its not in the press, doesn't mean they aren't working on signings. As for a new striker... why? We have a lot of attacking options in the squad now.

No Alpine, there is no "maybe" needed you have definitely jumped to conclusions based on no evidence. That is what jumping to conclusions is all about and you are an expert at it! - Do you have any good evidence Saints made a bid for Chambers? Just because a paper said it, doesn't make it true. - Do you have any evidence Saints don't have a list of centre backs they are targeting or even in discussions about? - Do you have any evidence Saints aren't close to signing a centre back?

I don't know the details, but at a guess any feuds/rivalries built up with another club could for example impact on your ability to do transfer/loan deals with them. People are often dismissive of small features on FM, but it is all these thousands of features collectively that make it a more immersive experience.

The hospitality seat question has some relevance to it, given that there are over 1,700 of them in the stadium.
