You Arabs are a couple of years behind pal, it's all about BYOD and SDN this year.still I'm sure you'll find that out on the golf course.

The were much lower in the championship and more didn't come.

Hilariously that was one of his points of evidence he used to justify expansion, that we got that many in a relegation battle, just think how many we could get if we had investment in the squad and were challenging at the top of the table. Well there's your answer MLG, about 3000 less.

I don't buy the price issue fully. In the championship when we used to get 22,000 lots of people claimed then that it was the weather, surprise great aunties birthday parties, school holidays, christening, train issues and road works that prevented them going. Well we seem to have found an extra 7,000 or so every week since then who don't have any of those things going on and it's considerably more expensive now than it was then.

Which is one of the reasons why I hate seeing so many divs in fancy dress and facepaints.

You missed the boat Jamie, it had all gone mainstream by then.

They aren't on there but two of my personal hates are deep dive and share of wallet.

Both, we are doing very well, better than we hoped, but people still aren't coming.

You see I have a bit of dilemma with my boy. Naturally I want him to grow up a Saints fan but it isn't our local team now, that is now Leeds. His grandad is a Leeds fan as are most of the kids in our road so he's surrounded by them. I won't have a problem with him being a Leeds fan as I'm with you on pride in the area and also a big part of football for me is going with your mates and the people you meet through it, there is nothing like meeting up with the lads for a few pints before a game but he won't really get that if he's a Saints fan, but I'd still be a bit disappointed if he doesnt support Saints when he's old enough.

My view exactly. If I could only go to one game a season it'd be one which I thought saints would win, or at least had a good chance of. I go to see saints to see us score, win and play well, I've no interest in watching the other team or players or being gallant losers against a big club. One of the things that really got under my skin was the excitement of so called saints fans before we played Man United in the FA cup when we were in l1. The amount of people who claimed to be saints fans but never go to games who were badgering me to get tickets for them and updating their Facebook status with how exited they were to have got Man United tickets drove me mad.

What people going to do if get in the champions league? The ground willl be virtually empty for those games wont it?

Being a wacky kind of guy i love to keep people guessing!! Although we all know the answer to this, selling beer at £3.10 a pint means they will usually fill 90% of the available space on a weekend, however if they cut prices to £1 then they'd easily get another 200 punters through the door and would need to expand. Or maybe they could introduce the briliant dynamic pricing module of changing the price of beer depending on how busy it is, for example 50p a pint if it's quite and if it gets busy put the prices up, if it's full punters could expect to pay up to £38 a pint.

It looks like its us that's in for a major form of torture instead then.

I saw Gaston in Yates, every time he ordered a drink he gave it away. PMSL

I saw Guly trying to get into Flares but he kept on missing the entrance PMSL.

I had him down as a joiners sort of guy.

I've heard it all now.

:lol:

So if the crowd is around 30,000 again is suggests the club have actually got the price spot on, doesn't it?

So we spend more on players, more on wages, do better than any of us had hoped and you expect it to be cheaper?

If results go our way, we can't catch Arsenal whatever happens but if WBA win at Anfield and we win we will be second, if we win we will be at least 3rd which is an incredible achievement and far more than we could have hoped for, yet still we aren't selling out. Isn't this what we were told the bigger stadium was needed for? Serious investment in the side and a team playing well challenging at the top of the table. I'm not really sure what saints have to do to get the fans to put their hand in their pockets.

Another thing I don't get is those fans who go depending on who we play. Why? You aren't going to watch the opposition, you're going to support Saints.

Not going to happen, we don't play with wingers.

What would you consider an impressive achievement for MP given his significantly greater resources? CAn someone quote and he's got me on ignore.
