Sour Mash

I'm not going to lie, I don't really get it. Why can't we do something useful like acually sort out the on-line ticketing system?

I think its the full interview here http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/wayne-bridge-i-have-to-get-out-of-city-6281115.html comes across has pretty p*****d off, understandable, but if he REALLY wanted to play that much I'm sure he could have made something happen.

No need for Bridge to come back down here, but yeah he's a good lad, just read this decent interview with him http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/wayne-bridge-i-have-to-get-out-of-city-6281115.html . Always used to see his old dears on the train going up to northern away games, big Saints fans.

But that's no good as he lives out of Southampton mate.

Exactly. Just collection down at Brighton would be easy enough surely?

Why the f**k not over the phone? The club yet again stiching up out of town fans on tickets.

Yes, I understand all that, but even up front, SDR doesn't appear to even be first back-up choice. I don't think he's an out and out bad player or anything like that and I really want him to do well. Just think maybe his style of play is very difficult to get to fit with the rest of the side.

The fact that Schneiderlin plays on the right or up front ahead of SDR speaks volumes about how highly Adkins rates him.

Should be able to make it down, but s**t loads of hassle. I'm normally a fan of 'traditional' things in football, but hate boxing day games. Always a s**t atmosphere, no atmosphere and there is plenty of football coming up now anyway. Even more annoying the way its worked out this year, why couldn't there be a round of games tomorrow?

Exactly mate, that's my main problem with it, it's a disproportionate charge on those fans that don't live close enough to St Marys.

So what would these '200 officers' have been doing on this other day that they're now being given off?

This. F*****g doing it boxing day as well, absolute mugs, all it will do long-term is ensure their long-term future will be in jeopardy, no-way can a city like London be reliant on these sort of people for it to be able to operate properly.

So what are all those police officers normally policing on a Sunday lunch-time?

Don't think we'll have all that many at Leeds with the cost of a ticket being £36 & Peterborough will just be a couple of blocks of seats in one of their side stands.

I hope there's less than that. Fancy having a whole block of seats to myself for this one.

He's clueless and bluffing as always.

Bingo bus did have protection of course it did, the coaches never had problems going down there in the past did they? Previous years down there we've had plenty of fans make their own way without any problems, it'd only be hassle if you chose to go in the big group on the train. Who is suggesting stopping you just going to watch a game of football? That's what everyone was doing. Otherwise, what a spot on post.

Why are you boycotting over SISU? Bit harsh holding a grudge over a failed takeover attempt.

Having watched the video on Saints Player, I'd have rather have been on the half empty one with everyone just reading their papers.

Why? No one has stopped you going by the bingo bus in the past?

I also really enjoyed the cr@ppy little jingle throughout.

Who's doing this one? Not that I really care, just thought it should at least have it's own thread on here. £15/10 a ticket, can't really complain at that. Massive away end, so can spread out and stand miles from any plebs.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait to get these on sale? Would be handy to have them available before the Palace & Bristol City games for us out of towners.........

Anyone watched the videa of the bubble trip on Saints Player? Cracking bit of film making.
