"Small games" at St Mary's wouldn't sell out two weeks before matchday

Yet again, you haven't even come close to answering the question. in fact you ignored it, made up your own question and answered that. Are you a politician on Question Time?

Oh, plus this is yet another example of a "smaller game" selling out 2 weeks before matchday. Something some people last summer were saying wouldn't happen!

Lets say Cortese puts in an application this summer. Will I ever hear from you again?

I didn't. Can you not read? Again, can you not read? If St Mary's remains bigger, it will only be bigger by hundreds of seats, not a huge amount. My point was, please answer this question. Do you see Swansea as a similar sized club to us, with a similar sized fanbase? - Swansea averaged 15k in their 2nd tier promotion season in 2011 at the Liberty Stadium - compared to our 26k in 2012. - Swansea averaged 13k in their 3rd tier promotion season in 2008 at the Liberty Stadium - compared to our 22k in 2010. In the Championship and League One we got around 10,000 more than them. In the top league we should also get a lot more than them rather than play at similar sized stadiums. Don't you think?

Regardless of who is right on that, their capacity will still be very close to that of St Mary's and you ignored this question...

You are reading a random "stadium guide" website that fails to tell you that Swansea's capacity is already going up next season to 22.5k. Add 11k to 22.5k and it is over 33k! As I told you before, read the BBC article ffs. You are making this all far too easy, maybe you should ask Steve for your £5 back and just post 3 wrong posts per day.

Read the BBC article. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-22159360 Oh dear, Turkish. Mr Wrong! Swansea are already increasing capacity for next season, so 11k more seats makes around 33k and bigger than St Mary's.

Swansea are now safe from relegation, so the application goes in for 11,000 extra seats. Perhaps and I mean perhaps, Cortese is waiting for the same thing.

Nope, it'll be 33k - which is bigger than St Mary's. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-22159360 Do you see Swansea as a bigger club than us, with a bigger fanbase? - Swansea averaged 15k in their 2nd tier promotion season in 2011 at the Liberty Stadium - compared to our 26k in 2012. - Swansea averaged 13k in their 3rd tier promotion season in 2008 at the Liberty Stadium - compared to our 22k in 2010.

Swansea put in a planning application for a 11,000 seat expansion yesterday now that their Premier League status has been secured for next season...

4,000 of the self proclaimed "bestest fans in the world!" at Fratton Park watching a fundraising game might be all together to hear the news Oldham have won and Pompey are relegated, possibly with -10 points coming in League 2. If Carlsberg wrote Tuesday night football...

Not at St Mary's he wasn't, Clyne dealt with him easily. Don't let his goal against us fool you, he was poor (well against Clyne anyway).

For that to happen, every team from 12th to 18th will need to win the majority of their remaining games. Please stop posting nonsense Dalek2003.

Stoke City have picked up 5 points in the whole of 2013! For Saints to go down ALL the teams from 12th to 18th need to do better than Saints (many significantly better as they are a number of points and GD behind us), it simply isn't going to happen and given teams will have to take points off each other. Saints are actually very close to mathematical safety. It isn't just a case of "Can the current 18th place team catch Saints?", everyone else has to aswell.

We would need to win with a 4 goal margin, which would then put us equal on goal difference but move above them on goals scored.

Only if we win by 4 goals.

In order for Saints to go down they have to be overtaken by EVERY team from 12th to 18th. It is extremely unlikely ALL those from 12th to 18th will all be able to overtake Saints as they have to play each other (taking points away from one or both teams) and the big boys (where they are less likely to get anything). A Sunderland win was by far the best result and I'm glad it happened. Saints are looking to finish anywhere upto 9th (possibly even 8th as we have a game at home vs West Brom to make up points on them), so keeping Newcastle as far behind us as possible was the best result.

Is it? Saints won't go down and Saints should be looking to finish in mid table. A Sunderland win is the best result for that, so today has gone very well for us.

Gary Lineker tweets it every Saturday... Gary Lineker ‏@GaryLineker 3h The running order is as follows; Ars/Nor, Eve/QPR, AV/Ful, Sou/WHU, Rea/ Liv. A lot better than it looked at half time. #MOTD BBC1 10.20

Why? Villa won't catch us and Fulham can still be caught by us. A Villa win would be best.

The current one looks like what it is - an amateurish fan design from the 1970's.

We didn't have black short from 1885 to 1950!

People would have been outraged in 1974 that we were changing to the new badge, there is always a starting point for "tradition". If we changed it in 2013, in 40 years time people could say as you just did if in 2053 there was talk of changing it again... Sour Mash April 2053... "2013 to 2053 - 40 years, so all that at least 75% of our support can remember in their life-time."
