Woke up at 4:55 am New York time and managed to get enough tickets for me and my friends in section Z1. Don't know much about Loftus Road, but I know it's right near the away stands. It technically doesn't count as the away stands, though, right? I'll be surrounded by QPR fans in those seats, correct? Either way, can't wait to be there.

Arrested if I try to sneak into the away stands, eh? And I thought we took security seriously in the U.S. Should I be worried at all about getting tickets in the general stands or is the match unlikely to sell out?

I'm a New York-based Saints fan who is making his first trip to St. Mary's next month for the match against West Ham (can't wait). I'm planning on coming to Southampton early on game day and checking out the stadium, though I hear they don't offer tours on match days. I am planning on going to the team store to blow some money, but I wanted to ask: Can you buy a personalized kit at the team megastore and pick it up that day (I've seen this at places like Bernebeu and Camp Nou) or can I only buy blank shirts or ones with current players on them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm an American who is coming across the pond to see his first two Saints games in person next month. I already have tickets to St. Mary's for the home date against West Ham, but am still looking to get tickets for QPR. Given that I need six of them (I know), I've basically given up any hope of actually being in the away section, but I know QPR tickets go on general sale at 10 am GMT tomorrow (or today depending on where you're reading this). I've been told by multiple people if I'm not in the away stands to leave my Saints kit at home. Is there anything else I should know before purchasing? Also, if I'm in the building, is it easy to roam around and get into the away section or is it heavily restricted? In the U.S. ushers are usually pretty lax and you can move around a stadium easily. Not sure if that will be the case as I've never been to a Premier League match in person, but worth asking, right? Also, any good Saints supporters pubs in London near Loftus Road? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
