  1. Read in in combination with the rest of my post.
  2. Were we in a recession from March to July 2004? That is only one year after finishing 8th and reaching the FA Cup final. 2003/04 saw a 12th place finish in the Premier League. We are now newly promoted and have already reached similar levels whilst in a massive global recession!
  3. After finding it relatively easy to get tickets for most Championship and League One games for the last 7 years it may change fans will realise how difficult it will be to get tickets in the Premier League and they may be tempted to get a ST for 2013/14. With only 5,500 to sell to non season ticket holders, games will sell out long in advance of kickoff as they did last time we were in the Premier League. Plus Turkish, look at it like this... Saints have more season ticket holders than the capacity of Fratton Park!
  4. In those blocks with under 100 available, most of the available seats are singles and so are harder to sell.
  5. They were all listed as available to buy apart from three seats in the entire stadium which were labelled "locked by". Block 7 is on the Itchen halfway line, it has the most expensive seats in the stadium apart from the corporate areas. Yes, they sold season tickets there as they are the best view in the stadium. Same with block 31 opposite it.
  6. 22,543 With circa 3.5k away fans seats and roughly 1k corporate seats there are only 5,545 left for Southampton fans unless away fans don't bring a full allocation and more blocks in Northam are freed up. Will be some mighty scrambles for tickets next season!
  7. Adkins has said he'll be back towards the end of pre-season. He is already doing some training with the squad.
  8. Phone them and ask.
  9. Season ticket deadline closes at 5pm tomorrow so don't leave it too late.
  10. There are going to be three leagues for clubs that applied for cat 1 clubs in 2012/13 (regardless of if they got cat 1 or not). We aren't in the same league as Fulham so aren't mentioned in that article. We are in one of the other two leagues of 8 clubs.
  11. Not really a guarantee of goals. For a start, Carroll only scored 4 Premier League goals last season.
  12. The "m" is for mobile. That is their mobile phone version of the website. This is the normal version... http://www.mirror.co.uk/incoming/southampton-bid-to-bring-theo-walcott-1180296#.UBReh0ZWkM0.twitter
  13. He is the paper's head football writer with good links at Arsenal.
  14. Normally journalists don't put their names to such seemingly outrageous stories and it is labelled "sportswriter" or something similar. This one was written by Matt Law the Chief football writer for the Sunday Mirror. Odd for a senior journalist to just make up and potentially look stupid for believing there was even an outside chance of it being true.
  15. hmm... 2011/12 57 games 2010/11 44 games 2009/10 33 games 2008/09 41 games 2007/08 40 games 2006/07 32 games 2005/06 25 games That is a huge amount of first team games for someone that was 16 years old in 2005/06. Most of those games were for a top Premier League side in the league and Cups, in the Champions League and representing the senior England side.
  16. Portsmouth manager Michael Appleton takes drastic measures to fill out his depleted first team squad...
  17. That does not confirm category 1 status. Please show me something that confirms QPR actually have cat 1 status, not that they aim to get it one day. It took Brighton 14 years to move to a new stadium. Numerous other teams have had long delays in moving stadiums. Don't take it as a gurantee it will happen soon. It may, it may not. Not at all, Southampton have already shown in recent years they can sustain 30k+ crowds in the top flight. QPR have not. In fact you don't need to go back many years to see them average circa 10k in the 2nd tier. Has that been confirmed? You were wrong on the academy status, maybe you are here as well.
  18. - QPR didn't apply for category 1 status, I don't know why you think they are getting cat 1 status? They aren't and won't for at least 3 years. - QPR haven't even decided on a site for a new stadium, let alone got planning permission. - A 45k for QPR will be a white elephant. - QPR's training ground is still in early stages. Fernandes has a long way to go and certainly isn't "all sorted out within one year".

  20. Davis is in training and we have 3 friendlies after today for him to play in. We also will have Jack Cork back from the Olympics. Team GB probably won't make the final so he could be back in time to be ready for Man City.
  21. He is filling the place of Steven Davis and Jack Cork at the moment in their absense. I think Davis will start the Man City game. Ward-Prowse does appear to be above Hammond and Chaplow in the pecking order though.
  22. Joe Hart, Shrewsbury Town
  23. Saints don't have a membership scheme. Do you mean you are on the ticket database? Your best chance of getting a Man Utd ticket would be to buy tickets for the Wigan game as they are linked and you get priority. There is a good chance the Man Utd game won't reach general sale.
  24. QPR, Swansea and Wigan didn't apply for category one. Newcastle may have failed to get category one.
  25. Already happened, Wycombe and Yeovil (and some others) have given up in the younger age groups because of all of this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18278621 http://www.thisissomerset.co.uk/Yeovil-Town-set-scrap-youth-teams/story-15989966-detail/story.html Category 4 teams aren't allowed age groups below under 18's.
