Was Twat a pointless answer though?

You’re right, that’d be tearing my nose off to site my face though. I just want these owners to stop treating us paying fans like a bunch of mugs.

You’re right Nick, I’m so thankful that the club take my support for granted they can shit on my promotion dream, increase my season ticket price, and make it seem like they’re doing ME the favour. The point about promotion costing us more is moot, we’d be paying for a premium product and paying the wages for a better level of player. As it stands we don’t know who our manager is going to be and which players are going to still be here, so we could be paying more for an inferior product to last year. I commend every single one of us that invest their time and/or money supporting this club, it’s a rollercoaster to say the least, but for me that increase has left a sour taste regardless of how small it is.

There’d be no moaning if the club hadn’t just shafted the fans out of promotion. For a bit of perspective Oriol Romeu cost the club £825k for his short pointless stint last season. But yeah, let’s hit the long suffering fans in the pocket instead to raise some funds.

I have a wife and two kids, that I love more than anything in the world, but I also love Southampton football club, almost as much and as such tens of hundreds of hours of my life is spent on watching and following Saints either in person or at home. All of that time invested last season travelling home and away in the hopes of seeing this side challenge for something, which they did, was then cruelly taken away from us by a handful of selfish people and our club became a national disgrace and joke as a result. Now said club want to increase the ticket prices for those loyal fans, because they know they’ll pay it, despite their incredible support and yet to you, anyone who criticises that decision is a “lazy victim” to do so. what an utter bellend response.

If it’s such an insignificant increase Nick why bother with an increase at all. Of course I want us to be competitive, but a net gain of £500k from ticket increases to a club that spent £12 million on Gavin Bazunu is pretty negligible. Could have froze prices this season and doubled the increase next year and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

Looks like a landlady writing up the specials board.

Cameraman looking for the fitties.

100% he would, he should have looked at some the players that have come through our academy and waited a few years. Probably had someone in his ear advising him to move.

It’s a good price that I can’t argue with, what I really struggle with is that after a disastrous Prem campaign and near record relegation, our fans massively backed the side with ST numbers, only to be served up 4 months of Will Still shite, and then after bringing the noise for the run in and the playoffs we find out the club have cheated and our effort as fans was basically null and void. Then instead of a PR exercise to win back the trust the club are like “yeah it’s an increase, but aren’t you lucky it’s not more!” Just find it all a bit poor to be honest, think our loyalty gets abused by the owners, and we’re not angry enough about it.

Poor form having a price increase for me personally. The club has shafted an incredibly loyal fanbase that turn up in good numbers despite regularly being served a shit sandwich, and they’ve tried promoting it like we should be lucky they’re doing us a favour.

Russ’ sides score a lot of goals though so DD will get plenty of chances to find the net. It’s more midfield and defence we see peak Russball in all its “glory”.

DD has age on his side, so may still turn things around. Genuinely think we should send him on loan to someone like Leicester so he can regain his touch as well as get to grips with the English game at a slightly lesser level. He obviously showed in last preseason he’s got something about him and I can’t see us selling him just yet.

Classic break up behaviour tbf, pretend your not bothered the other person ended it whilst secretly crying inside. Theres every chance Ross feels just as aggrieved as us that for all of his efforts last season a handful of people have robbed him of his chance of promotion. Maybe he wants to get away from said people.

Wasn’t that the game we absolutely battered them on possession and shots but needed a last minute winner to make it 1-2? It would be a sign of things to come under Russ.
