  1. According to their travel planner its open
  2. If the game goes ahead on Jan 2 think there will loads of trouble regards tickets as away end only holds 1600, so makes problems we've had with Orient tickets seem minor in comparison.
  3. 20 London Saints going to Hartlepool, hotel already booked for overnight stay, I think we'll actually get a good turn out of 500+ for this game. By the way Orient's official site has lots of information regarding tickets for Saturday, if you haven't bee able to get a tcket from Saints. http://www.leytonorient.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10439~1838764,00.html
  4. Good point, next Saturday away game is Walsall Dec 5th given current interest we should be taking at least 2,000 up there, given we are taking 3,250 + to Orient and had over 900 at Carlisle and Oldham.
  5. Mate went this morning, he failed to get ticket, all tickets now sold out He does work by the way, but is a teacher so off this week for half term
  6. I think this was the 1976/77 season around christmas time, I was on one of the two coaches that day, run at that time by Bernie Watts and Rolly the predecesor of the Foley coach. We went to watch Reading v Palace at Elm park instead that day where there was allsorts of fun and games in the ground before and during the game. The Orient game was finally played midweek later in the season when I'm pretty sure we won 3-2
  7. The corner was closed for the majority of games last season, I sat with my mate in Block 35 many times last season and Block 36 to 39 was always closed. This season they started by opening block 36 and from Bristol Rovers game had it aqll open, it has been a great atmosphere in this area all season, and it's good for those with kids like me as you don't have to stand up all game so the kids can actually see the game !!
  8. I was at Newcastle game along with 7 other London Saints, and was surprised how many other Saints fans I saw either on train up or in pub before the game, some blagged hospitality, others like us got relatives who lived locally to get tickets for them. Must have been at least 30 up there. For Luton had Newcastle mate who lived in Dunstable who lent me his membership each year, I even lent it to som ep*mpey fans one year so they could get in at Luton. I would say we always had at least 50 probably more there, in our 4-3 win there you can clearly see the Saints fans dancing around at the current away end as the goals go in. The worst support I have ever witnessed must have been away to Everton in 1992. Which I think was the tuesday after the ZDS final. I would be surprised if we even had 50 there, days after we had 30,000 + at Wembley.
  9. Just checked on Leeds website they were given 2000 tickets for tommorows game, be surprised if they actuially give any teams more than that on crowd safety grounds
  10. Having seen Real Madrid's defending last night v Milan I think you are being most unfair to liken us to them ! But I know where your coming from we are along with Leeds, Norwich and possibly Charlton the teams to beat in this league and everybody seems to raise their game against us, but at the moment we are handling it well. Certainly with the team we have at the moment we shouldn't fear anyone in this league, we are making steady progress, and a win in front of a big crowd on Saturday would be yet another step in the right direction.

    No different really to what they now charge at St Mary's (Channon Suite £50 + VAT, no drinks + hot snacks), but if people can't get a ticket and desperate to go might be an option for some.

    Leyton Orient

    Hospitality Package price given to London Saints is £60 (£35 for Match ticket in Olympic Gallery + £25 for Carvery Lunch all drinks extra) we have 15 taking this up plus a further 6 just doing Carvery but with seats purchased from Saints.
  13. Why not try Orient, with your user name address I assume you live in London so you shouldn't have too many problems, just ask for tickets in East Stand which is where all the Saints fans are.

    as per this link http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1830960,00.html Anyone who hasn't got a ticket and is thinking of going will need to get themselves sorted out ASAP.
  15. We have over 11,000 and the average no of Saints fans at home games must be around 17,000 so 6,000 per game are paying the £22 or £25. There have been massive queues for tickets on matchdays for most of the games this season so I don't think its putting people off at all, even for the Torquay game; when tickets were £5 more than they were prior to matchday, there were loads of people buying tickets just prior to the game.
  16. I think I have one spare, tickets are unreserved, tickets on day cost £2 more, I'll be at ground around 2.45 if anyone interested or Picadilly Station at 11.08 with the rest of London Saints
  17. Its because the many season ticket holders from the Kingsland and Chapel have got to relocate their seats to either the Northam, Itchen or Kingsland Blocks 36 -39
  18. Yes but £2 more on the day, I may have a spare available as DARK SOTONIC MILLS has not contacted me about the ticket he requested from me.
  19. Certainly was 1st time and only i'd ever seen tear gas used by police at a football match, the coach ride back to the airport was quite something too!, bl**dy mopeds everywhere, chucking stones, drain covers anything they could lay their hands on through the windows.
  20. Charlton were given 3000 for their game earlier this season, Last season Leicester were given the whole of the East Stand I think it all depends on demand, but its more likeley we get at least 3000 tickets if the initial allocation sells quickly IMO .

    Attendance

    It was widely publisised by the club that tickets were cheaper £7.50 Season ticket holders, £10 pthers if bought in advance but £15 on the night.
  22. 20 London Saints, some flying, but the majority going by train all staying in Hartlepool for the night. Some thinking of going to Wetherby races on the Weds afternoon.
  23. We are making slow but steady progress at the moment,Positive points start of Oct , if we can catch up next team by end of the month, and be out of bottom four by end of Dec I think we wil be doing Ok, then for the push for playoff's. Too many seem to expect things to happen overnight, the performance on tuesday was excellent, we played well had oppportunities to finish the game but failed to do so. Afterwards many of this board were calling for Pardew's head. The signs were there on tuesday for anyone to see, that we were close to getting things right. Today we didn't IMO play as well but scored at the right times which made all the difference. Keep the faith IMO we are slowly getting there.
  24. There is no way we would have scored our third goal without his pace, he won the hoof out of defence laid it off and the from the cross Lallana beat his man and scored. His pace was significant in much of our play today, but most importantly with this goal which gave us a the two goal cushion which finished off the game for us. He may not be a world beater but he will cause plenty of trouble to opposing sides in this league if he keeps playing like he did today
