+1, Couldn't agree more.

Rather it stays 3pm KO tbh, a 12pm start means less time in the pub.

It wasn't as bad as it looks. Took 5 mins to get served. We were in the Birkbeck Tavern before hand, smashing little pub, nice beer garden. Quite a few Saints in there but didn't get too busy either.

Wasn't Beattie 2nd or 3rd top goal scorer in the prem during the cup final season with about 21 goals?

According to this: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280~45990,00.html - His current deal with Reading expires next summer, so we could pick him up for free then.

+1. Without wanting to sound arrogant we should be beating Brighton 3 or 4 nil at SMS.

Yeah - Adam's reply was that those critics were from Pardew & not him or the echo. A good read overall with some interesting questions & points made.

As per the title, according to Daily Echo's Saints twitter. 6pm SS1.

After 1 ticket for a mate, face value + a beer. Can meet either at Soton Central about quarter to 8 tomorrow morning or anywhere in London tomorrow. PM me if possible, cheers.

Just finished but he'll be back at 2.30 for more questions.

I lol'd!

Won't affect those of us coming into Waterloo tho - Northern line up to Tottenham Court Road & then Central to Leyton.

Indeed, i've put across 2 or 3 reasonable questions now which haven't appeared yet some really stupid questions like the ones i posted above are getting answered!

Very interesting to read, but also some right spanners on there asking questions like "will you be sad if poopey go bust" & "i'm going to the game tomorrow without a ticket, what are my chances of finding a spare from someone outside?" wtf!!

Have a few in central London in the morning then probably head to this place i think - http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/34/3403/Birkbeck_Tavern/Leyton

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not but here it is anyway http://www.leytonorient.com/page/HomeTickets/0,,10439~1840018,00.html No cash on the turnstiles, so those planning on trying to get in the home end will have to buy tickets first.

& are willing to stand up for the entire game.

Cheers - may give one a go.

Mellis in for Hammond if needs be then I'd have thought. Davis James - Jaidi - Trotman - Harding Mellis - Wotton - Morgan Lallana - Papa Lambert

Right, looked into the trains (can't go as far as Feb on national rail site so just used the last Tuesday in Jan that i could). It's possible to do going via London. There are trains back to Marleybone at 22.06 & 22.59 from Wycombe. The 22.06 might be a bit of a push, but the 22.59 train gets back to London at 23.34. Then theres a train back from Waterloo to Soton at 00.05 & 01.05. For 4 people, 1 with a rail card a return from Marleybone to High Wycombe works out at £7.80 each. A standard off peak return to London Waterloo from Soton central with a travel card comes to £17.20 each so all in all 25 notes exactly. Job done.

Up to a spoons at Leicester Sq for breakfast, then across to Leyton to the Birbeck (sp?) Tavern i think.

Yeah, they used to swap the away end round every season i believe. The terrace that we were on for the cup game also has a roof on it now.

Good one sparticus, for such a pointlesss thread you've really made an effort to post in it. Anyway - teh greyhound site is playing up so not been able to check the times & prices yet. This is what the away end looks like As has already been posted, we'll only be getting around 1600 tickets so could be quite a scramble to get them if Leyton Orient is anything to go by.

Wtf is your problem? Pointless? Oh You mean like your Wycombe thread is considering we don't play them til the end of Feb?

Yeah, realised this when checking the train prices earlier. Just means getting to parkway, shouldn't be any major problems.
