saints_is_the_south Posted 21 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 21 July, 2009 Think we will sell out our Swindon allocation? Think there is up to 2000 available if needed According to footballgroundguide.co.uk another 2,100 extra seats are available behind the goal so we could take as many as 3k there.

Iowsaintsfan Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 Travel is also available with a 4.30pm departure, priced at £14. This is £2 dearer than anticipated as we have to meet a £20 per coach fee levied at Swindon. ok so £2 x 50 seater coach = £20??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 Huddersfield: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1728092,00.html Swindon: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1727597,00.html Already got my Swindon ones, won't be doing Huddersfield tho. I think its interesting for those who moaned that our matchday tickets prices of £22 for Wings or behind the goals is too high, that Huddersfield tickets are £24 behind the goal and Swindon £22. So on this evidence our prices are on a par if not lower than our competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonsaint1604 Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 £24!! **** off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 I'm surprised at Huddersfield charging £24 rip off, and i'd have thought they would keep prices down to try to increase attendances as they never fill the ground. If wasn't for the fact it is a new ground + booked train tickets i'd give it a miss. Last year Swindon charged away fans £16 for tickets behind the goal so i'm going to look out for that if we can sell out the side bit first might be a bit cheaper. Just hope Charlton don't try and pull a stunt like charging us £30 like they did last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im quite optimistic that we can take a big crowd up there. 1) Its not far away at all, 2) We are all very optimistic about the new regime (most) Sell out I fell for us although Swindon wont fill their ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 got both my tickets - cannot wait. like the others, I think Swindon will sell out as well as a few other (relatively) local fixtures. Wonder what the sales policy will be this season - preference to ST holders or individuals with a record of away trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate who is a Swindon season ticket holder reckons it is £22 in the side stand but only £16 on the stratton bank behind the goal, if that is the case should hopefully help us take big numbers there.

St Mikie Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 I was just checking the Swindon website for away supporters positions in the ground as its years since I have been to the County Ground.

The Saturday Boy Posted 29 July, 2009 Share Posted 29 July, 2009 The away fans behind the goal section at Swindon is seated. Yep, the County Ground is all seater. The Arkells stand (the side stand) is probably the better stand to get a good atmosphere going anyway as it has low roof and is shared with the home fans.

Both sections are seated. If you've already got one on the side then you can swap to behind the goal. According to footballgroundguide tho they don't serve beer in the stand behind the goal, only on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
