Sour Mash

Sounds like they're still going, but don't want any coverage of it. Bit odd regardless.

Thought he'd be able to afford somewhere better than Jurys.

This is Saintsweb - you should know better by now.

You think we're going to compete for the Premier League title?

Don't think the fitness of the managers make too much difference to be honest........

I'd say £550 adults with £150 for kids would be fair and still offer great value. Your suggestion earlier of £499 with a kids ticket thrown in free while expecting others to pay £800 is neither fair nor realistic.

You said above 'if there are no deals', no-one is suggesting that. There should of course be deals, but you've got to expect a fair size increase. It would still likely to be fantastic value.

Who is saying there won't be any deals? Just that to expect free tickets and massive price reductions to watch Premier League football just because you've got a young kid is a bit unrealistic to say the least.

No it's not if you're still getting a very good deal and paying less than everyone else.

But is the increase so big because the previously deals were exceptional and probably unsustainable good for a successful side? Agree re. the family centre going back to just the corner rather than a whole end.

The Premier League dream is built on fans such as yourself to be fair.

Of course they'll be deals for those with young kids, but I think some of the deals have been.so good in recent years that future expectations are unrealistic.

We won't have enough people prepared to pay £800. Giving away seats for free won't happen in the Prem I'm afraid.

It won't be that.

You're just making up cr@p now.

On that basis you'd be looking at an average price paying per match of over £35. Guess that's the Prem. £40 for top games, £35 for mid level and £30 for 'lesser' opposition.

Renewals at £600 behind the goals would be a massive jump considering only 19 home games?

Was sorting some old stuff out in my dark and dingy bedsit yesterday and found my season ticket from 2002/03 - renewal in the Northam was £451. Not sure if that really tells us anything though.

Wages in Southampton aren't particularly high at all.

How does that differ to the season we've just had?

Saints related? Or just trying to reignite the debate? For what it's worth I don't mind fancy dress so much when it's done half decently like that (See Hartlepool dressed as Ooommpa Loompas at Charlton last season), it's just the ones that look an absolute mess.

Fair play, great story that!

Good effort at a bit of bait there.

Next season will be tough. Demand likely to tail off in future seasons unless we're doing really well.

How is saying what I experienced count as nonsense? I'm sure there'll be a fair few games where overall demand is well over 29k. But as I say, I never met anyone switched on and organised that had any problems getting tickets. People that leave it to a few days before big games will obviously find it harder.
