There are a shed load of Saints fans that cannot get tickets because they haven't plumped up the cash for a membership. I can see 4 of them from my office. All of them didn't know about the membership scheme until they tried to get a ticket (which is odd, the club do bang on about it). It's harming ticket sales, for sure. Silly making it so difficult for people, IMO.

Because of the strict criteria placed on away ticket sales you are only ever going to have a similar bunch of people from a 'select' pool going to away games. It's too hard to get a ticket these days, so many of the 'lads' who would make a day of it (and probably make a racket) just can't go. So it's left to the Kingsland halfway line old-boys and their tag along daughters to snap up all the tickets. Itso facto ****e atmosphere.

Each to their own but the idea of sitting inside all day on Sunday watching 2 or three matches gives me chills - boring! I love going to matches, but it's only the biggest games that get me excited enough to watch them on the box.

Anyone that pays £75 to a television provider needs their head looked at. Seriously, utterly ludicrous amount of money!

If their keeper hadn't made 2 world class saves and Yoshida hadn't hit the post at the end we'd be talking up a great performance by the lads. Instead its the ****ing apocalypse on here and we are going out of Europe. I'm not saying it was a vintage performance, it wasn't, but we were by far the better side, created a shed load of missed chances and were the only team looking to play any football. Frustrating evening - but I saw some positives in the performance.

Block 39, a few rows in front of the pasty faced downtrodden looking bloke who shouts "We hate pompey" for 90 minutes, every single match.

Amazing that our sponsorship and kit sales are apparently only a small amount more than Bomo or Palace.

Very promising - sounds like an astute signing Get it done Saints!

Because there is no way we will be tracking more than one player, is there? No, if we don't get VVD, we will be starting a search from scratch! Like amateurs! I'M FLABBERGASTED!!!!

And yet we dominated the final 20 minutes and should have scored a third..

And there I was thinking the FA were the party pooper of Europe. (I don't drink at the ground anyway, but it'll come as a surprise for those that do!) Can't wait for tonight! Think we'll win 1 or 2 to nil.

No beer on sale at the ground tonight - Europa League rules apparently!? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150730-matchday-guide-southampton-vitesse-uefa-europa-league-2581336.aspx

Blackpool, obviously...

Soooo.... James Chester has signed for WBA - I suspect we were never in for him anyway, probably just agent murmurings to rush WBA into signing him up. Just who is it that we are chasing? Are Ron and Les going to pull another CB-Rabbit from the hat?

Cool post bro'.

Jeez I forgot about that. This isn't quite that bad, though!

I'm in a queue to buy tickets for half my office, hoping that it really is "general sale" and I don't need sodding customer numbers for everyone who is just coming along for a crack.

11,000 sold as of last night according to Saints Twitter feed.

When you log in you should have your reserved Vitesse ticket already in your basket

I think if we get allocated more tickets then we were expecting, those of you who have bought in the home end should try to get it swapped, or buy another, to avoid any "unwanted incidents" (!)

Did anyone else get a free shirt out of this? I went down with a 12/13 shirts with MY name on the back. The guys running the event were surprised so few punters were showing up, which was good for me, as they swapped the shirt. I'm made up, fifty quid saved!

Exactly. Toby changed his mind, end of story.

Thanks for the round up Saint031. Sounds like a complete dud from all of those opinions of the guy... Still, in Ronald we trust! (Maybe skip this one though eh, Ron?)

****ing sweet.
