The Cat Posted 9 May, 2016 Share Posted 9 May, 2016 How exactly do they make money from uploading video clips of a computer game. I'm not doubting they do just don't know how! YouTube ad revenue will count for a lot of it alongside their Twitch subscribers. *Awaits questions as to what on earth Twitch is* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 Feel sorry for KD that so few tickets have been sold. Largely awful effort from our fanbase. my opinion is (and was shouted down for it) that £15 or what ever it is was/is just too much to watch a kick about for a player who is a multi-millionaire and who is (lets be honest) not a legend of the club could have made it a lot cheaper and more people would go.

Just my opinion You cannot complain about £15 FFS, it's over half the price of a prem game, to see some very popular players amongst the fan base. There is no excuse for not going to this game, unless you didn't watch us in those years. I am very much looking forward to seeing some players back in the red and white of saints! Rickie being one of them. Edited 10 May, 2016 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFear Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 Exactly and the money goes to charity. for me this is as much a chance to say thankyou to the players that finally put some pride back into saints after years of dross, as it is a send off for Kelvin you also only have to look at what just about every player who played with him here is saying to see how important he has been behind the scenes they were my favourite seasons following saints and for as little as £15 (going to charity ffs!)

Saint_clark Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 As above, no excuse for not going other than you didn't go much while we were outside the Prem. It was a special squad for those 2 seasons. How can you not want to see them again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 Real shame that more haven't been sold. I'd expect a big influx of tickets on Sunday and a big walk up on the day. Can't see it selling out though. Just huge queues if you wait until the day. If The Ox could have made it he would have been draw for the more casual fan. Reality is though, we have a hardcore of around 18-20k that saw us through the lower leagues and the rest come for PL football/day out. No surprise it seems only the hardcore are going.

JackanorySFC Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 I think it will be pretty well attended on the day actually, ticket sales aren't going "that" badly considering they only opened up the main stands a few days ago (putting a lot of people off hat wanted "their" seats). Hope there will be a lot bought towards the end of this week and on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion Er, I consider Super Kelv a legend, he captained us through two successive promotions up to the PL putting himself in the team of the year in both cases as well as to a trophy win... He also stayed when he could have had PL football (and the salary that comes with it). The teams that got us promoted in the past are held up as Saints legends, what makes Davis any different?

Whitey Grandad Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 He left the season before promotion. To be honest I even forgot he played in the JPT. He was given a run out right at the end (in injury time?). A nice touch from Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 I'm in two minds whether to go. I usually go to games with my son but he's got GCSE exams the following day, so a 100 mile round trip the night before isn't exactly the best exam preparation tactic (yes, I know the opposite point of view could also be argued...). I guess there's no ideal time to be holding games like this, but I wonder if this being an evening game during exam time could be a contributory factor towards attendance figures?

No surprise it seems only the hardcore are going. I'm hardcore by your definition and I'm not going. No Guly, no interest Seriously, not worth the travelling for an evening friendly, never go to pre-seasons either (unless they are in Swindon or Bristol). Nice to see Guly is actually playing again in Brazil for Ituano, 10 appearances, no goals and 6 yellow cards. I think this is like the Conference (Level 5) in Brazil. Someone said below that he is not coming to the Testimonial because they are mid-season, but it actually looks like they have not played since April and have no forthcoming fixtures, so not sure that its the real reason for his non-appearance.

nta786 Posted 10 May, 2016 Share Posted 10 May, 2016 I'd be disappointed if we didn't match West Ham's effort for Mark Noble- that one sold out I think and it was shown live. That is appreciation for a player- our ticket sales for Kelvin's been poor really- hopefully around 28000 can turn up. And to make it worse, I find it even more ridiculous that apparently the club sold out in tickets to watch some youtubers play! Pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
