The Kraken

She’s a scary looking bird and no mistake.

Plus I don’t think he’s netted yet for Newcastle, Saints are the team strikers out of form love playing against.

Simon a Jordan was on Talksport earlier saying that the away side gets ten per cent of sales. That’s not the stumbling block though, Chelsea cannot physically sell the tickets. they can potentially give them away, or they can arrange for a saints to sell on their behalf, neither of which is an ideal solution. You’re right though, I see it as a massive safety concern if there’s no away end.

Try telling me this isn’t funny 🤣

3 have suspended their sponsorship with them as well.

🤣 Theres a few tweets going around from journalists saying that this could push them into administration. They’re losing money, and lots of it, and now have had almost all their revenue streams switched off.

😆 The group have even said there will be zero protests. But down with this sort of thing.

It doesn’t take Poirot to work it out.

Yeah, what rotters these liberal types are, imagine sticking up for people who get literally thrown off buildings for being gay. We don’t want those types at St Mary’s, do we UTS?

Rainbow Saints co-founder Max Lindsay said: “While there aren't any protests planned for the Newcastle match this week we stand in solidarity with persecuted LGBTQ+ people in Saudi Arabia. I think you’d have to be a bit dim to disagree with that sentiment, wouldn’t you?

I’m not sure why we should do them a favour (I doubt they’d do the same for us) but, yes, it does seem like something Saints would do. Having done a bit more research on this since posting, if Chelsea have already agreed to the purchase of tickets with the club, they could choose to gift them to supporters. It would mean getting zero revenue for what they’ve paid out for, of course. But would ensure they have fans at the game. They could also just choose to have an empty end, but that seems more unlikely.

As I understand it, away tickets have not yet gone on sale to Chelsea for our home game with then on April 9th. With Chelsea not allowed to sell tickets (or much else) I guess it throws up a couple of interesting scenarios: - Will the away end now be allocated for home use for this game? Or are they considered “sold” by the club already and we can therefore expect to see an empty away end? - We know Chelsea can’t sell tickets, so what measures will be in place to ensure significant numbers of Chelsea fans cannot buy home tickets? There is surely a significant safety concern here. - Assuming there is no segregation and away end gets sold as home, is there a chance of a complete sellout which could in turn mean a new record attendance? - Again assuming home fans only, it will be interesting to see whether we do sell out, and if so how quickly we do so. It could be very useful for the stadium expansion discussion if we are able to see a real world example of just how many fans over current capacity we could get if more seats were actually available.

Wembley is on the wrong side of the catchment area line, so all those from north wales gave it a miss.

I think so yes.

Subsequent to Marc “I’m not a photocopier salesman” Jackson trying to take over Bournemouth around 2008 2009?

Soon must be a very long time in football.

Completed it, but the survey seems far too simplistic. Would English football be fairer if there was a salary cap? Probably. Would this be completely detrimental to the English game if European clubs didn’t adopt a salary cap? Also, probably.

I’d say centre back is a priority. Salisu is good but nobody else is good enough as a starting CB if we’re aiming to consistently break the top ten. just watching the Liverpool game and Joe Gomez is nowhere to be seen again, I wonder if someone like him might be available, I liked the look of him but he’s well out of favour.

🤪 fucking hell Saints

Good start. Ings assist.

Either way I prefer it too! I like the progression Perraud is making.

Ralph said it on Thursday, that he was subbed off Wednesday because of it as a precaution.

Exactly for the reason that Saints seem to always let one in to strikers who are on a barren run! Take Antonio in midweek. Im only half serious and being norman negative, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Hamstring according to Ralph, hopefully not serious.

No surprises in our line up. Ings is bound to score Ffs.
