kpturner Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 (edited) Hearts game - I read that only the Itchen and Kingsland stands are open with unreserved seating, so I rang the ticket office to see what arrangements I can make because I am on crutches at the moment. It seems the reason that only two stands are open (with unreserved seating) is the fact that they have only sold just over 1000 tickets. It is going to be like a morgue (even with a decent rollup on the day) http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1722134,00.html Edited 23 July, 2009 by kpturner Added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 (edited) I assume this is V Hearts. It is only to be expected. The same happened V Stoke last year. Edited 23 July, 2009 by Saint_clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampersound Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 Might be more to do with the fact the kids have broken up for the summer and people have gone on holiday. Perhaps it might have been wise to have said post Ajax that new season ticket purchase this week would have got a free ticket to the Hearts game.

CWD Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 The FP trophy final at Lords is clearly going to attract more people to London than SOuthampton. I'll be keeping track of the score but the cricket has considerably more at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you still on crutches, you wimp.A real man would be playing again, it was only an achilles injury I played on with mine in fact, I had 2 go on me and I still won motm award as well as sweep the stadium after the game.Pussy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the score by the way? That is the first time I have managed three smileys in one post. It wasn't a case of not being able to get into the team, it was a case of letting the youngsters have a bit of glory. I have had my days on the pitch and being as iam i wanted to give back a little to the game. Therefore my motivational tactics and teambuilding skills were more suited.Of course as it was a lot cheaper to be manager than a player did play its part. Oh look at the cheap dig at the result, Argentina beat England in Mexico by 'The hand of God' it was not deserved, well on the night we had 'The wedgie of Phil' not a good look I promise you. Your more knowledgeable and very skilful friend OohTerry will no doubt fill you in on the underhand tactics used. I do hope your injusy isn't TOO painful at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 Pre season games don't really matter anyway apparently......... Far from it (I know you are kidding), but what people are forgetting is that these games are important for the team/players as part of preseason, quite honestly I couldn't give a stuff in no-one turns up to watch. What I care about is that the team get a good workout and compete and hopefully win, one preseason win would be a plus at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
