SO16_Saint Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 ...too soon?? should be interesting to see how the players react and perform. We may see a team that has been let off the leash and could be free flowing all action style. That's my hope, anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northam soul Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 The Kingsland stand is sold out. So it should be a decent crowd. No its not as i have just got my tickets. They have only opened the kingsland centre and the northam. The itchen and chapel are both shut.I was told i may be able to move seats into the kingsland north tomorrow if they start opening those blocks.

Saint_Mabes Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 I must admit I can't be arsed to go.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Had a choice yesterday of last row of Kingsland centre or among the teenage warriors in the Northam. The latter won out in the end - not been in block 40 before so hopefully not a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDonkey Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Away from ticket news what sort of squad do you reckon we'll see tonight? All out for a win or rest a couple of players? Personally I'd go for a strong attacking line up - or at least as strong as possible with Lallana injued - but rest a couple of players at the back. ------------------Bart Butterfield---Martin---Jaidi-----Dickson ---------------Hammond --Puncheon-----Guly-----Mills ---------Lambert---Barnard I think the performance tonight will be critical in terms of resolving the manager situation. Thrash Swindon and Wilkins will get another game or 2, anything else and all systems go to get a new manager at least watching from the stands on Saturday.

Really feel like the club is going the wrong direction. Radio Solent it is, then, tomorrow night. That's a shame, they really should be marketing these games for the kids. £12 a ticket is a rip off really, remember last season they where banging on about all JPT tickets being a fiver? that didn't last long at all.

toofarnorth Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 It will be interesting to see if Wilkins tries to make his mark on the team by including some you wouldn't expect in the starting line up. Mills on the left, Bart in goal. I know some of it could be put down to it being the JPT but coaches see things differently in training from others. Just look at McDonald at Villa putting some young players straight in. McNish in the middle maybe. Wait and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So get your hands on a copy of the Advertiser tomorrow to see how we cover the match and, hopefully, Swindon’s first win of the season. Hot air balloon perhaps....? Radio controlled helicopter?

Going to be a great game =/ It is really sad mate, but ultimately it had to happen to send a signal to whoever sets the prices for these games that without decent offers and good marketing they will not attract the crowds. we had double that last year for Torquay game, think it was £5 for season ticket holders with no ticket tax, so it is more than a 100% increase in price this year. hopefully if we get through some more sensible pricing can be used, or get an away draw somewhere where a small crowd doesnt look so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOWSaintDaz Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Feel cheated now Pardew has gone, if the price of the tickets and boat fare to see them play wasn't enough this adds insult to injury sacking the Manager and backroom staff before we play a game to defend our only saving grace from last season. I for one really can see Swindon beating is tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
