There is even an option 6. Deliveroo. Get them to meet you when you arrive home or in Southampton. To be Blunt there really is no excuse to eat at football these days.

My “perfect scenario” is no such thing. It just involves people not taking the lazy option of going for the stuffing a crap, overpriced burger down your throat as this is what you perceive to be the only option to you. Other options include Pub option: Leave work early and go to a pub for some food. Most people have flexible working these days if you don’t time to find a new employer. Work from home:, see above re flexible working, cook your own dinner whilst tapping on skype for business every 5 mins to look like you are working Healthy option: Precook then reheat a healthy option meal, add some steamed veg, kale or spinach a reheated chicken breast takes 4 minutes, ready in 10 you can eat that in 10 minutes and at the game only 20 minutes laters and still in time for kick off Take away option: As you walk to the ground park near a chippy, dozens on route on way to SMS, eat while you walk Don’t eat option: intermittent fasting of c16 hours is proven to burn fat, repair damaged cells, regulate blood sugar levels and give you a general feeling of wellbeing. If you have a late lunch then don’t eat again until breakfast you’ll have fasted for the recommend period of time leading to better you So the choice is yours pal, have a burger in the ground and die early, or find an alternative route. Depending on your lifestyle and willpower it’s up to you but I’d go for options 3 or 5.

Sad news as he has announced his retirement due to injury. A saints legend for those 3 minutes v MK Dons all those years ago. More famous for his nickname and Adkins introductory intro than his time at saints, aside from those goals. “When they tell me a player is quick, I always ask them ‘is he jonno quick?’ He he’s that ball he runs and sometimes he’s unplayable” good old Nig and good old Jonno Quick. Enjoy your retirement, a saints legend.

for just an additional £85 you can buy a ticket for the Gas Works bar where you can enjoy some premier league class hospitality. 35 screens showing Sky sports, a free pint of lager to enjoy whilst you exercise your opportunity to purchase from the American diner menu. why wouldn't you do it?

So would I, plenty of places to get something much better then a microwaved burger that’s been sitting in a kiosk for hours.

I’ve never really understood the reason why people need to stuff their faces at football anyway. The only times it’s remotely acceptable is a lunchtime kick off game where I appreciate some people might have been in the pub from 11 or gone straight to the ground. For your standard 3pm or 7.45pm kick off WTF do people feel the need to eat as much as possible as soon as they get near the ground? You don’t decided on a working day at 3.45 to nip down to the burger bar down the road so why do people need to do it at half time, especially when the food is by and large utter crap. Same with an evening game, 7.45 or 8pm is pretty of time to eat beforehand if you really have to. It’s no wonder we’ve got so many fatties in our fan base when they stuffing their faves every weekend with poor quality burgers, hot dogs and beers. SMS is a diabetes epidemic waiting to explode, they should start playing videos of various diets and the danger of obesity inside SMS at half time rather than the pointless entertainment, it might at least save a few lives.

Those curry nights are not going to pay for themselves.

An Essruu posts is a rare gem these days. Welcome back Signoir.

Just out of interest I checked out a few of my old haunts walking distance from SMS from when I lived in Southampton to see what you could get for a prematch lunch if eating a big meal before a game is your thing. The white star in oxford street, the most expense thing on the menu was a sirloin steak for £20. The burger was just £10. You can get a curry at the corridander lounge, one of if not the best in town for about £14-£15 Ennios, cracking Italian near town quay 2 course Italian lunch for about £17 Absolutely laughable that they expect you to pay £150 to get in then spend another £22.50 on a burger and chips. You could actually take two of you for a meal and drink at a decent restuarnt, buy a Match ticket each and a couple of beers after for less than it costs to just get in to the Gas Works bar. What a joke these clowns are.

It’s strange. He’s played for some great clubs, he’s still an international yet no club he’s at ever offers him a new deal. Even now I’m pretty sure he’d be better than anything else we’ve got though.

I shall be reporting anyone who refers to anyone else as he or she until they have personally confirmed their gender. Assuming gender is disgraceful and should be a 6 game ban.

Should any Liverpool followers have been in the home areas I would have hoped the customers surrounding them would refer to the supporters charter and taken advantage of the report hotline to oust them from their seats. The supporters charter clearly states away supporters in home areas will be ejected, unless they are in the corporate boxes in which case their money is more important so they can do what they want.

You can imagine some little marketing gimp first job out of “uni” coming up with that and thinking it was brilliant. This was last seasons menu, I’m assuming it hasn’t changed but your £150 yesterday would have given you the opportunity to purchase a big boy saints burger and chips with ice cream pudding for £22.50. What a bargain. https://www.southamptonfc.com/-/media/files/other/gasworks-food-menu.pdf?la=en

I think there are two options. You can either buy a season long membership for £200, which gets you all of the above minus the match ticket. Or on a pay per game basis with prices seeming to be £150 for the big games, the cheapest I could find was Watford at £78. But yes either way you’re basically paying awful lot of money to get a “ free” pint whilst sitting in an empty pub where sky sports is on.

Or maybe they just did it regardless? It wouldn’t be like them to just do something regardless of what fans think. I expect some cheerleader on the saints voice group nodded along in agreement it would be a good idea so they took it as representative of everyone.

That tickled me too, an opportunity to purchase a burger and chips for £22. It’s absolutely laughable this is somehow a selling point for paying £150 to be in the bar.

You’re absolutely right. I keep thinking back to the survey last season, how much do you earn? How much would you spend? Would you want a premium area? Etc etc, they’re just not interested in your regular fan. They seem to want us to be a premium club, like an arsenal lite but forget we are an average team in a relatively small working class city. They preach self sustainability and refusal to invest yet want their customers to splash out week after week.

Agreed. I thought he looked good and will be a handful for any defender. Should probably have scored his header but give him 6 months and reckon we could have a very good player on our hands.

Why would anyone buy membership or pay £150 for the match day ticket? It’s an absolute rip off. I see the price drops to £78 for the Watford game but even that is steep for what is effectively just paying for the privilege of being there. I could perhaps understand it if it includes some sort of meal but all it seems to get you is a seat and a drink. Our money grabbing club have made an absolute mess of this. I guess as word spreads this will mainly be full of away fans in the future, don’t see any reason why saints fans would spend any money to be there unless you were desperate for a ticket.

14 reported for drunkenness 23 for abusive or offensive language 2 for fighting 348 for standing I was so busy reporting people I missed all the goal. Still the reusable cups are a triumph. Peppermint tea never tasted so good.

Wierd game. A good performance and an awful one. Could have been 2-3 or 3 up, lucky not to be hammered and then disappointing not to draw. Once again sloppy play cost us a goal, 2 good finishes but Mane given far too much space and the throw in/clearance for the second goal was awful. Ings miss, dear me. Encouraging in places worrying in others but no shame losing to the European champions.

I am sorry that the older generation of foul mouthed, bloated, pub obsessed middle aged men like yourself don’t feel like football is alive for them anymore. The fact that you still watch the scores of ceefax show what a dinosaur you are. No doubt you a Saturday after for you involves swilling beer, some racist and sexist abuse, a punch up followed by boasting about it back int he pub with your other thug like friends. I for one am proud of my club for leading the way in inclusiveness and look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with our fellow fans, I habe the saints report number on speed dial and while he scrutising the behaviour of our fans moving forward, while enjoying green tea from a reusable cup to ensure that I can play my part in keeping st Mary’s an inclusive place.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see an article in a month or so back slapping themselves listing the amount of ejections and bans given out to prove how successful the grassing hotline has been.

Grassing hotlines, trannie flags, free ice cream, welcoming away fans into the home ends, reusable cups, fanzones, gasworks bar. There truely never has been a better time to be a saints fan.
