For a start, I think the demand will far exceed the supply as there will probably only about 16000 tickets available after season ticket seats reserved, away supporters, corporate, complimentary/staff etc. However whatever your stated stance, if you want to support the team, then go if you can get tickets.

None of mine would, all the extra ones would go to people that I have bought tickets for, at home matches this season. I have bought loads of extra tickets this season, so I have an excellent buying record over and above my season tickets.

I was at SMC at the same time as Syddy. If it's not confidential what was the problem?

I have two STs and will buy a dozen if I can.

Let us know if you manage to get a ticket.

At the moment at each match, there are only about 3000 Saints fans buying tickets, the remainder being STs and away supporters.

I did say MEMBERS with Sheff Wed tickets. ST holders have their own or another seat reserved. Usually ST holders can buy additional tickets when the sales are opened to members. I really can't see any general sale for this match.

In the past Saints handed out vouchers to get tickets for all cup games at one match. I'm sure there will be some weeding out criteria, such as used for restricted away matches last year.

I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do. I have two season tickets and have reserved seats. If people want to go to a special game then there has to be an opportunity to make some money and maybe avoid selling either Lallana/Surman in the transfer window.

You may be right however I have been asked by at least a dozen people/family that I buy extra tickets for games, to get them tickets. I have two STs and will be buying as many extra tickets as I can after the ST reserved sale is over.

I didn't say that, an incentive to buy SW tickets would be good for the attendance. If you don't want to buy a ticket, don't, then if all the MU tickets go to ST holders/Sheff Wed ticket holders there can hardly be room for complaint. Two big crowds are better than one with the revenue shared. I can see it/vouchers/ticket record at SMS happening.

Phone up/internet and buy a ticket for Sheff Wed. It doesn't matter whether you go to the game or not. It would surely help the finances. I think it will be a sell out without any general sale.

That should bump up the gate for Saturday. There is hardly likely to be any general sale as ST holders will be going for extra tickets en mass, as well as members.

A possibility, Cork probably OK, I'd be surprised if Reading allowed Pearce to be tied, I'm sure he would be on instant recall if needed by them. Robertson and Pekart haven't really impressed, it depends how the club view their value. It depends again whether we are hell bent on shifting John, Saganowski, Euell, Skacel plus Raziak (season) By then we hopefully will have Holmes fit and Dyer back.

Lallana and McGoldrick need some coaching in shooting. They both tend to scuff their shots and if they hit it, it balloons high. They both need to learn to lift the ball over an advancing goalkeeper. I have lost count of the goals missed one on one, saved by hitting the goalkeeper, especially McGoldrick. BWP McGoldrick Lallana ------Gasmi (worth a try) I have only included currently fit and available players.

Will the loans want to stay? Will we want to keep them? Will they be allowed to play and be cup tied if they stay?

The bottom line for the club is income. The away games bring little or no revenue. That isn't devalueing the away supporters. However there have been plenty of statements on here, about only going to away matches and not going to home matches, refusing to put money in Lowe and Wilde's pockets. With the club's financial problems, if all the tickets were sold for the Sheff Wed game it would be a very big deal. More than double the club's share of the receipts for the MU game.

If any players are likely to be sold in the transfer window, will they be allowed to play in the FA Cup. They would hardly allow players to be cup tied, as it may devalue or make the player less saleable.

If I was Rupert, I would announce on Monday, all those with tickets for Sheff Wed will be given preference after STs.

Bloody hell Ron, that's a dozen I'm going to need!

If they are, that won't leave many seats at all.

On past record, Utd give the FA Cup little priority and play their reserve and fringe players. Could we give them a game?

Watson was better before he joined us. Jimmy Gabriel was a brilliant player but lacked a little height. I've seen all the CBs mentioned here, but there are two standouts, Svennson to attack the ball and big Mark Wright to sweep up. I think they might even have been pretty close to being the best pair in the top division, let alone the club.

Why don't we all just wait and see, we have nearly 6 months of the season and at least 28 matches still to play.

We don't attack the ball. Pearce does. It needs timing and determination to get in front of, or across defenders and win the ball. We are a bunch of pussies in the box, that's the problem.
