Can you name a club in England that sets aside a renewal period and then allows renewals (at discount price) whilst on general sale? It is a standard football practise to do it this way and was the same for Saints last season and many previous seasons as well. Not at all. It is the same way Saints and other clubs always handled renewals and new season ticket holders. It would have been more of a surprise if they reserved season ticket holders seats during a general sale until 5th August. That wouldn't make much sense as good seats may end up not being sold, so you need a renewal period that finishes before the final date.

The PFA have no power to stop it. Some players for teams like S****horpe last season would be on tiny wages. Also how much does he think Ben Reeves and Ryan Doble are on? They are both Championship players for Saints with the 1st team in Switzerland, their contracts will be easily below £4k (I suspect a long, long way below).

Yes, there are plenty (although depends if your definition of "plenty" matches with mine ). Why do you ask?

You can't blame the club for that.

How many minutes of game time have you seen Forte play? How many starts? He has hardly been given a chance in order to make much of a judgement. Plus he has played roughly 100 games at Championship level and thus far more experience at the level Saints are competing at this season than Antonio has.

If Saints "do a Norwich", it will be useful to have a season ticket now in order to get a cheaper renewal Premier League season ticket next season.

I'll quote who I want thanks, and post within the forum rules, if you don't like my posts then stop complaining about them and put me on your ignore list. You don't really have a leg to stand on when you complain all the time about something you can quite easy alter so you don't have to see anymore.

Maybe because Adkins said that Saints choose to pull out rather than the player rejecting the offer. I think this is just Sharp's attempt to save face.

As I 've said to you before. If you find me annoying, put me on your ignore list. By not doing so and still complaining is a little strange.

There will be a lot more away fans at St Mary's this year, boosting the average. Plus there are far more attractive games for a walk up than playing Yeovil, Dagenham, Walsall, Tranmere etc whilst in the Championship. Home games like... - Pompey - The two over Christmas against Palace and Bristol City - Last game of the Season against Coventry - Brighton - West Ham Will all sell extremely well, possibly all towards or over the 30k figure. That is 6 games out of 23. You then also have games against Leicester, Forest, Birmingham, Derby, Cardiff, Leeds etc which are also likely to get good crowds. Saints average in League One last season would have put them 7th in the Championship for 2010/11. Now that Saints are also in the Championship, with a Championship squad playing Championship opposition with larger away crowds, the average for Saints should take them better than merely 7th.

He left in 2010.

The whole point of a season ticket is that it isn't the full cost. You get 6 games for "free".

It means nothing. Lambert wore 7 in the 1st half, Chamberlain wore 7 in the second half. The teams just wore 1-11 in each half and weren't using squad numbers. They have been however using squad numbers on their training kit.

He heads it in all the right directions, just not necessarily in the right order.

The second image I used doesn't look quite so romantic when you see the "chocolate boxes" up close. In fact they look quite dangerous and ugly!

I think I may even remove TUI and just have Saints Web Forum for Southampton, as I really can't stand Nick Illingsworth (many may same the same of me ).

That search will have very different results.

I just found them on Google images on the first 3 pages of searching for "The Dell Southampton".

Did he use the word "latitude"? Seems to be a favourite of his when discussing teams financial status.

Cheers, added.

I hadn't checked the games section for a while. I've now removed the crossword and added a new game.

Mills spent last season playing in the Championship, Harding has played roughly 120 Championship games. It isn't new for them.
