Coem to think of it, I'm going to Italy in 6 weeks,maybe we could meet up for a Lemoncello?

For the size of the country Holland produces some exceptional players and they all seem to adapt to English football well so yes, it's a good idea to scout there.

She can now.

Christ, here comes the other one. Come on Suzy, tell us you live in Italy again or who's on your ignore list today, we've not heard that one for at least a week.

Ever thought you might be taking Internet mong boarding a bit too seriously Les?

I think a lot of fans will be surprised by the clown suits and road cone hats.

You see this is where the intelligent posters argument falls down. Apparantly we should expand the stadium to fit in all these causal fans and people in Shepton Mallet that suddenly have a Saturday free so decide to come to Southampton to watch premier league football. Yet these fans that care little for SFC right now and on Thursday suddenly realise their family picnic has been cancelled and now have nothing to do are going to be told that it's going to cost them £75 each to do to fullfil thier dream of being able to come to St Mary's when they aren't busy. Of course it could go the other way, real Saints fans are being fleeced by buying tickets when they go on sale at £75 only to be sitting next to a family of 4 from Shepton Mallet who care little for SFC but had their family picnic cancelled on thursday and they've all got in for a fiver each. I can't really see either scenario being popular. All in my dell sized mentality opinion of course.

Not everyone is as lucky as you though. I can't think of too many fans of SFC I know who would pay £75 to see a football match, let alone all these floating fans from Warwick and Cirenester we are going to be attracting.

I can't think of many things more stupid than spending millions and millions of pounds expanding a stadium for seats that are going to remain empty or have to reduce the price to fill. If we have two seasons of 32,000 crowds whilst establishing ourselves as a premier league club then it would well be worth expaning to 40,000. If we then average around 36k whilst not having to give tickets away then I'm sure all would agree that we've done the right thing. Should we expand to 40,000 if we only average 28,000 for th next two seasons? No, it would be stupid.

How well do you think it would be received if SFC announced tomorrow that anyone that hasn't bought a season ticket yet has a week left to get one and by the way the price is now £1500 for a ticket which cost £575 today? This is dynamic pricing, is it not?

So, we've been told we are going to be attracting people from all over the south, casual fans who want to see premier lewgue football. How many do you think will be willing to pay £75 to see a football match, between two teams they don't care about?

So just to confirm, you'd be happy to pay £75 for a ticket the person next to you paid £25 for, simply because forwhatever reason they were able to buy them a month before you?

The mods are above this. They don't need to explain why they close threads or issue infraction points. These are not challengable you simply have to take it. The mods are powerful and work for Baj who is the supreme being regarding internet mong boards. This is how TSW rolls and if you don't like it maybe it isn't the mong board for you.

No, it's come from Timmys imagination. Im sure dynamic pricing is a great way to encourage all the causal and floating fans from Gloucestershire and Warwick who just want to see premier league football that we are going to have. I mean who wouldn't want to pay 3 times more than normal fans to see a game between two clubs they don't care about.

Adkins days he is young and hungry. He's going to fit in well in these parts.

It's incredible that a supposedly proffesional journalist could make so many errors in such a small article.

The wrong manager,the wrong picture. And it says "our maiden premier league campaign" do they not know we were founder members and in top flight for 27 consecutive years FFS.

It's a decent scheme for some but not as good as it first appears! Well it wasnt for us anyway. We looked into it a while back. Mrs Turkish and I rent a nice 3 bed semi, good size in a reasonable location. We earn a decent amount of money between us and have a nice lifestyle, could easily afford the mortgage repayments to buy the place we live in but we cant save the £25k minimum deposit we'd need to get a house of a similar standard to the one we live in now as we pay near on a grand a month in rent. This scheme seemed like a good idea as you can get a place with at little as £5k. However the two problems were that we weren't a priority as we earn too much and also you only qualify for a place that suits your circumstances. So the best we could get was a 2 bed flat. So we either have to sit on the waiting list and downsize to a two bedroom flat, which we don't want to do, or carry on renting and not be able to save a deposit. We seem to be in the weird situation whereby we earn to much to get any government support but we don't earn enough to save the huge deposit you need or have rich parents who can give/lend us th money, despite the fact we could easily afford the mortgage repayments every month.

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/334041 This is an outrage. I'm sending them a strongly worded email. How out of touch can you be? This anti Saints agenda the media have is a disgrace.

So as someone who can only go now and again and often can't get tickets the minute they go on sale, what are your thoughts on Timmys 'dynamic pricing' idea? Whereby people who can buy Man U tickets the day they go on sale get them for £25, yet people like yourself who cant do this can end being made to pay up to 3 times more, just because their circumstances meant they couldn't buy them early.

In truth it hasn't.

You need to consult your legal people about this. Demand an apology with 24 hours or take things further.

By all accounts the lad seems to be hugely ambitious and sees himself as a premier league player. For that reason I can't see him coming here as third choice. He'llbe here to be number one.

I'd never heard of him until the other day but on the face of it sounds like a very good young keeper and exactly what we are Looking for. Someone possibly good enough to challenge Davis now and eventually be his long term Successor.
