Whilst there's been a lot of conversation today around the possible allocation of tickets as we (hopefully) go through to the group stages, I thought i'd put together all the possible teams, their stadium capacities*, and their allocations based on 5% of the stadium capacity (*according to the clubs wikipedia pages) Confirmed Europa League Group Stage Teams Spain Villarreal 24890 (5% capacity = 1244) Portugal Braga 30286 (5% capacity = 1514) Greece Asteras Tripoli 7616 (5% capacity = 380) England Tottenham Hotspur 36284 (5% capacity = 1814) France Marseille 67000 (5% capacity = 3350) Switzerland Sion 14500 (5% capacity = 725) England Liverpool 45276 (5% capacity = 2263) Russia Lokomotiv Moscow 28800 (5% capacity = 1440) Germany Augsburg 30660 (5% capacity = 1533) Netherlands Groningen 22550 (5% capacity = 1127) Germany Schalke 04 62271 (5% capacity = 3113) Ukraine Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk 31003 (5% capacity = 1550) Italy Fiorentina 47290 (5% capacity = 2364) Belgium Anderlecht 21845 (5% capacity = 1092) Italy Napoli 60240 (5% capacity = 3012) Turkey Beşiktaş 41903 (5% capacity = 2095) Europa League Play off teams (Seeded) Spain Athletic Bilbao 53289 (5% capacity = 2664) Czech Republic Viktoria Plzeň 11722 (5% capacity = 586) Romania Steaua București 55634 (5% capacity = 2781) Poland Legia Warsaw 31103 (5% capacity = 1555) Portugal Belenenses 25000 (5% capacity = 1250) Netherlands Ajax 53502 (5% capacity = 2675) Greece PAOK 28703 (5% capacity = 1435) Switzerland Young Boys 32000 (5% capacity = 1600) Belgium Standard Liège 30023 (5% capacity = 1501) France Saint-Étienne 42000 (5% capacity = 2100) Russia Rubin Kazan 45105 (5% capacity = 2255) Austria Red Bull Salzburg 31000 (5% capacity = 1550) Turkey Fenerbahçe 50509 (5% capacity = 2525) France Bordeaux 42115 (5% capacity = 2105) Poland Lech Poznań 43269 (5% capacity = 2163) Czech Republic Slovan Liberec 10000 (5% capacity = 500) Germany Borussia Dortmund 81359 (5% capacity = 4067) Netherlands AZ Alkmaar 17023 (5% capacity = 851) Czech Republic Sparta Prague 19416 (5% capacity = 970) Greece Panathinaikos 16003 (5% capacity = 800) England Southampton 32505 (5% capacity = 1625) Russia Krasnodar 31654 (5% capacity = 1582) Europa League Play off teams (Non-Seeded) Norway Rosenborg 21400 (5% capacity = 1070) Ukraine Zorya Luhansk 22288 (5% capacity = 1114) Slovakia Žilina 11313 (5% capacity = 565) Serbia Vojvodina 14458 (5% capacity = 722) Austria Rheindorf Altach 8900 (5% capacity = 445) Azerbaijan Qarabağ 31200 (5% capacity = 1560) Norway Molde 11800 (5% capacity = 590) Czech Republic Jablonec 6280 (5% capacity = 314) Denmark Brøndby 29000 (5% capacity = 1450) Moldova Milsami Orhei 2539 (5% capacity = 126) Croatia Hajduk Split 35000 (5% capacity = 1750) Greece Atromitos 9050 (5% capacity = 452) Belarus Dinamo Minsk 16500 (5% capacity = 825) Hungary Videoton 14300 (5% capacity = 715) Republic of Macedonia Rabotnički 33460 (5% capacity = 1673) Kazakhstan Kairat 23804 (5% capacity = 1190) Finland HJK 10770 (5% capacity = 538 ) Switzerland Thun 10330 (5% capacity = 516) Romania Astra Giurgiu 8500 (5% capacity = 425) Denmark Midtjylland 11800 (5% capacity = 590) Norway Odd 12500 (5% capacity = 625) Azerbaijan Gabala 8000 (5% capacity = 400) Champions League Play off seeded teams (Any losers drop into Europa League Group Stage) Switzerland Basel 37500 (5% capacity = 1875) Scotland Celtic 60411 (5% capacity = 3020) Cyprus APOEL 22859 (5% capacity = 1142) Belarus BATE Borisov 13126 (5% capacity = 656) Croatia Dinamo Zagreb 35123 (5% capacity = 1756) England Manchester United 75635 (5% capacity = 3781) Spain Valencia 55000 (5% capacity = 2750) Germany Bayer Leverkusen 30210 (5% capacity = 1510) Ukraine Shakhtar Donetsk 34915 (Playing in Lviv due to conflict) (5% capacity = 1745) Portugal Sporting CP 50095 (5% capacity = 2504) Champions League Play off non-seeded teams (Any losers drop into Europa League Group Stage) Israel Maccabi Tel Aviv 14413 (5% capacity = 720) Serbia Partizan 32710 (5% capacity = 1635) Sweden Malmö FF 24000 (5% capacity = 1200) Albania Skënderbeu Korçë 12000 (5% capacity = 600) Kazakhstan Astana 30000 (5% capacity = 1500) Russia CSKA Moscow 18636 (5% capacity = 931) Italy Lazio 72481 (5% capacity = 3624) Belgium Club Brugge 29472 (5% capacity = 1473) France Monaco 18523 (5% capacity = 926) Austria Rapid Wien 50865 (5% capacity = 2543)

Still reckon there will be a scramble for those tickets. Their stadium holds 80,000 so 5% is 4,000. Given the draw that tie would hold we'd easily sell that and some I reckon. We'll never be happy!

As many did for the Vitesse game. (Which i benefited from I will add!) Does make me wonder if this demand will continue through all three away group games. Thats gonna be a serious amount of money spent if you are following Saints at every game away in Europe

of course

We need a game like Everton had at Lille last season. They were given an allocation of over 10% http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2014/09/25/lille-allocation-confirmed

@SouthamptonFC Due to the small allocation, we're unable to offer official travel packages for this game. #saintsfc

Highlights of their 2-0 Danish Superliga win over Aalborg BK last night...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRImmJw1wiE&feature=youtu.be

Yep. Same as happened last round

Very much doubt it! It'll be driven by TV and there's no reason it wont be the same as before. So expect it too be 7.45 - 8.05

http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/24359006/__Alle_vechters_Arnhem_weer_vrij__.html ARNHEM - All seventy fighters to the police in Arnhem on Thursday picked up again at liberty. The seven men were involved in a massive brawl that broke out at the Arnhem Korenmarkt, in the run-up to the football game between Vitesse and the British Southampton. The four Britons police shortly before the big brawl arrested since Monday again at liberty. Two men aged 42 and 50 years were allowed to go home at the weekend. Two others of 20 and 21 years had to appear Monday before the investigating judge in Arnhem. Which left a man free and suspended the custody of the other man. This should later be accountable for abuse. Most of the released rioters must report again for questioning and possible prosecution. Police have expected for weeks to need to find out which last week hit the flash in the pan.

Midtjylland have just kicked off against AaB in the Danish Superliga. I can't find any streams for the game but here's a link to the score and stats...... http://www.superliga.dk/no_cache/forside/alt-om-kampen/kamp/AAB-FCM-4.html?tx_selectedgame_pi1%5BtabId%5D=1

Anyone know anymore about the seven saints fans arrested on Thursday? Charged? deported? Last I saw was in the Echo on Saturday that said 2 had been released. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/13583459.Fans_involved_in_fights_face_bans_after_Arnhem_trouble/ Just wondering about the other five?

She was very cute!!

My two ST seats in the Northam will be free on Thursday morning. (Block 41, Row CC) We're sitting elsewhere in the stadium with friends for this one.

Hopefully Bertrand will be back in the left back role next weekend. Also as it's on BT Sport i'm happy that we'll see the return of David James in the Kingsland/Northam corner. Although I'm sure they will have learnt their lesson

They've had some decent signings but none of them are defenders and that's where they needed to strengthen. Hopefully Williamson will be playing as he's particularly shi*e!

I posted the link to this thread on a Vitesse forum and everyone was very happy with the comments. Apart from one guy who didn't appreciate the spelling of Arnhem by the OP. Apparently "Arnheim" is the german spelling and they got rid of that 71 years ago! I assured them it was a genuine honest mistake though!

I agree that we will be in group 3. I'd then fully expect us to get out of the group if we continue to take it seriously (and I don't know why we wouldn't) If we are in the group of 3rd seeds, Any looking at the teams we could possibly face I think we would take the following points... Against the bottom seeds, win home and away - 6 points Against the 2nd seeds, win home - 3 points Thats 9 points before we have the away game from the 2nd seeds and home and away matches against the top seeds.

No furniture [emoji1]

The stadium. The fan shop in the city centre closed last year
