For a family of four it is an increase of £160 in total compared to last season to buy new tickets in the Itchen Premium. 2012/13 - £3,120 2013/14 - £3,280 It is actually for a very limited number of seats, the Itchen Premium is a small area and alot in it are existing season ticket holders. You could sit in block 9 or 5 of the Itchen, have good central(ish) views and under 11 tickets would cost £215 new and £194 to renew.

Yes, they are hardly German prices, my renewal price is going up from £675 to £709. But we are a Premier League team in Hampshire in a modern stadium, so the prices were always going to be relatively high. Not to mention the ambitions for where Cortese wants to take the club quickly, so I would expect the summer transfers to help justify the increase from out first season back in the Premier League. I'm quite happy with what they've done, as it seems many others in this thread are.

It was £780 last season. They are the best views in the stadium, so they won't want to offer concessions. Take under 11's to the family section for £105 instead. Plus purchase 2 Adult tickets in the Family Stand and you can claim 1 free Under 11 ticket.

Is that a good thing to look for in a commentator?

January 2013... May 2013... Luke Shaw has told Southampton of his desire to stay and sign a first senior contract at the club this summer, despite interest from Chelsea. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10072222/Teenage-prospect-Luke-Shaw-to-stay-at-Southampton-despite-interest-from-Chelsea.html July 2013...

That £5.75m is for the 2012/13 season, they are still due parachute payments for the 2013/14 season and they will be bigger than this year due to the new huge TV deal.

I'm sure he has a soft spot for us, but as others have said - he is an Aston Villa fan.

You've hit the nail on the head!

They will aim to improve the match engine, yes. As they do every year.

No plans on the New Forest District council planning website for either them or the new training dome as of yet. So three of the four fields north of the A326 are now Saints'... How it will look when finished... (but with a new training dome and extra pitches ontop of what is shown here)

And what exactly was "ignorant" about my post?

Now that's interesting. Do you have a source for that?

- In the first 10 games of the season whilst Saints were adapting to a new league Saints average 0.4 points per game, over the course of a 38 game season that would be 15 points and obviously would result in 20th place. - In the 28 Premier League games since the beginning of November when Shaw and Cork started playing Saints have averaged 1.32 points per game, over the course of a 38 game season that will be 50 points and would have been enough for 8th place. Next season we won't need to adapt to the Premier League in the opening 10 games, that has already happened.

Umm... I disproved your point. You said Saints didn't score many goals in the opening 6 games, I showed they did. In any case although Saints scored 10 goals in those games, Adkins had us far too open and we conceded 18 goals.

Saints scored 10 goals in their first 6 league games this season.

As I said, it may well be a bug so report it and help get it fixed for FM14.

Referee mistakes happen in real football, shouldn't they also happen in a simulation of real football? I'm not sure if that is the case here without seeing it myself, it could well be a bug but just offering an alternative viewpoint. If it does still concern you, report the bug here and put the examples on the FTP... http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/296-Match-Engine-3D-and-Team-Talks

I don't know, tell me... how did you guess I sit in the centre of the Kingsland? Could it be because I've mentioned it before? Or could it be that it has the best views of the pitch without paying to be in the Itchen hospitality seats and that is where any sensible person wanting to watch football would choose to buy a season ticket?

That quite an exaggeration.

Wolves knocked down an entire stand in May and had people watching games in the new stand in September of the same year.

Converting existing Kingsland centre seats into hospitality? I won't be happy if they force me to move!

Quite a leap you've taken there.

Signing a contract until June 2016 would suggest otherwise...

Are you confident this mate of yours owns a house that a Premier League footballer would be looking to buy?
