Emailed ticket office this morning as we have issue that we have season ticket holders but then my daughter is a member on 5 (including West ham and Arsenal now). They said there is no guarantee it will go to members with 5 and it could well sell out to members with 8 Reading between lines I expect a lot of members have bought in last few days so the number in each category has shifted upwards.

What a bizarre thread. Seems to be full of infighting, preferences to lose and the most negative predictions I've seen. And a bear comes out of hibernation in the middle of it. But anyway at least I'll talk about the game It is only my 4th semi final in 40 odd years so an occasion to look forward to. Hence taking a half day holiday, driving 600 miles and won't get home till 3am! I've seen plenty of games this season and by god we have been poor in many of them but I'm still hopeful. I reckon we will sneak it 1-0 with Liverpool dominating but missing plenty of chances and an inspired MoM performance by Yoshida. Still not decided what our best line up is but I would go with Forster Stephens, VVD, Yoshida, Bertrand Romeu, Davis, Hojberg Redmond, Rodrigues, Tadic KTF

Not doubting what you may have been told but given the source it could be 2nd, 3rd or 4th hand from anyone who was actually there. As you send it could be well overblown from what actually took place. I think the negative mood from fans means people latch onto rumours like this. Don't mind losing but the manner of performances recently are the biggest concern. Still only a couple of games away from this being a good season

Interesting that our fans rate Stek's performances much higher than Everton fans. He has been average at best for them from what those fans I speak to have been saying. Do agree that Forster has been average this season. But overreaction on here is pretty impressive.

He's injured. Simple as that

I'm in the I'd like to see us score some goals camp - having been to Bucharest, Arnhem (bit of a dead rubber so doesn't count and it is a little bit hazy), Midtjland, Israel and Milan I'd love to see an away goal or 2

Don't know if it is any good but some of the Northern Saints will be in the Admiral of the Humber. Only as it is easy to get to

How about the knobs who vandalised a van and robbed beer out the back. Or is that just fun too?

Sorry when do we get our rules? I must have been to 250 plus Saints away games and not received mine. Or do we all just have to do what you say.

I was told 8k. Don't doubt the integrity of the chap who told me but have no idea where he got the number from (wasn't a direct conversation)

Well, having been to Israel the Forest fan will have a purchase history so will be fine for a ticket to Milan then! The bit that baffled me was the saints chap who went down and gave a load of verbal abuse to the Forest fan for being disrespectful (not the words he used) to Saints. Realised no-one else was bothered and skulked back off again. Bizarre!

Good to have met you. Hope you had a good trip home.

Are you me? I am also missing the City game due to being at the NFL at Twikenham. I did Bucharest Wed-Sat but recorded the game and watched it back on the tele when I got home. Although whilst i managed to miss the Saints score I knew that everton didn't score so spent whole game knowing we wouldn't lose but would we score...

Number 2 was the fun bus!!

That's a great video - think our 350 odd will have our work cut out! We'll be getting train in early afternoon so will hopefully meet up for a friendly drink with some of you guys Cheers

View from back row of the upper tier. Awful place to watch football in. Met a few west ham fans at Euston on way home one of whom got rather irate when we suggested the ground didn't cost them anything. Prompted a 15 min rant on how the move has cost him his football club, its soul, identity and how it is full of tourists who haven't got a clue. He was not a happy man

They've updated that document as it originally said kick off was 19:00. I hope we don't get shoved straight in ground off the bus. Long dry time to wait if they do!

Used footballflags.co.uk for our one. Here it is in Arnhem pre game

I'd say Austin undermined Tadic by taking it over the designated penalty taker. I was more annoyed by Tadic being his usual frustrating player than the pen incident. Went down too easily again and drifted out of game.

Austin has admitted he wasnt supposed to take penalty. So unfair to solely blame Tadic

No idea if true or not but i guess Saints must now have a good idea of demand and when it will sell out which would support any request for more tickets . Any announcement though must be after we sell out our original allocation i would have thought .

Who give a **** what they think, I'm going to Be'er Sheeva, Milan and Prague. They are going to Morecambe, Crawley and Barnet!

Hoping for club bus to be confirmed otherwise will be by minibus. 7 in our group so may be some space

Our Group goes out Tue/Wed so will have people out Tue, Wed and Fri night. We were thinking of doing the tour to Jerusalem and Dead Sea on the Friday. Official ones all have an early start though if you want to do both.

And explains why tickets go on sale after the game in Israel
