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.

If he thinks he had scar tissue to deal with at Saints wait till he starts at Leicester.

Tbf I’d say boxing events sell very well in this country ordinarily, unfortunately for Ryan Garner he’s in a weight class that traditionally doesn’t tend to pull in big numbers. According to the minutes from the fab F.A.B meeting the club are expecting a turnout of 12.5k which will still look pretty shite in terms of empty seats. This is where the city could really do with a 10k arena to make the city a destination and pull in acts that we have no venue for. Toys R Us site or even better the old Leisure World would be perfect for such a thing. Unfortunately our council can’t see past any plans that aren’t student accommodation or cruise parking.

Player of the season 2017-18 when his form guided us to survival, and of course his short run of appearances when Baz got injured very likely helped us get promoted in 2024, particularly with an important save late in the final against Leeds. Wasn't his fault we gave him a 2 year extension and can’t blame him for taking it, even when we could see he wasn’t the keeper we needed. For those couple of important runs of form in this clubs history he gets my thanks and best wishes with the rest of his career.

Shame really, think he owed us at least a year considering how little we got out of him and what he was paid. Still though, there’s every chance after spygate he feels robbed by the club and wants off.

If this is real then I’d be absolutely gutted as an Ipswich fan. Hellberg was an abject failure at Boro, took a side from 2nd to 5th, bottled 3 chances of promotion, and his team looked woefully unfit. Ipswich preparing for life back in the championship in 27/28.

Why were we considering legal action? For the following season to Burnley going down I’m guessing, 2022/23? Trying to establish why Forest were also considering legal action against Everton?

Fair play to Ian Wright having the balls to speak out about the tournament, whilst most pundits take the cash and keep quiet. Probably get his visa revoked now. ebfa23fbdb2a4e3a811c8b1b6966d86d.mp4

Intrigued and excited by his apparent plans for the waterfront and gasworks site. Wonder if his pet project extends to a capacity increase.

Indeed. Anyone that comes from a country on the UK governments red list of places not to go should not be allowed into the UK. It should be common sense but it’s easier to call people racist and attack people that speak up.

Man Utd ‘looking to raid fierce rivals LEEDS in shock transfer as Michael Carrick tries to fix problem area’ https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/39348114/man-utd-raid-leeds-michael-carrick-transfer?utm_source=sharebar_app&utm_medium=sharebar_app&utm_campaign=sharebar_app_article United looking for an experienced number two for next season, they could do a lot worse than Ramsdale. Or if they do move for Darlow from Leeds then I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ramsdale go there. I imagine he’ll want to stay in the Prem and ideally as a number one, I saw he was linked with Coventry but no good going to any of the promoted sides.

Hopefully the club look for a number two that isn’t just coming in to warm the bench, but will push Peretz for the number 1 spot.

Good question, I think Euro 96 with us hosting and England and Scotland being drawn together was probably a big catalyst for getting our own identity, but even still looking at photos of England crowds in 96 and France 98 there’s a lot of Union flags still.
