Badger Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 It must have been something in the air this weekend to bring them out. After the Palace stain I found this specimen: A Maidstone supporter. Perhaps he thinks it’s still 1977. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Plenty of tickets available on general sale for Blackburn and Leicester away currently. Blackburn - looks like we sold most of the initial 2100, they've added some more in upper tier now . Ipswich have about 5000 going up there on Friday, don't think we'll get anywhere near that. Leicester away - 3300 allocation, still about 500 left on general sale, most of the allocation sold when this was scheduled to be a Friday night game, not such a rush to buy for rearranged date, hard to know if anything to play for still by then.

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Probably right, many seem to feel we're only set for the play-offs now and has taken the edge off. Shame as Blackburn away offered the only real opportunity to take a real big following on the road - in the 1978 promotion season towards the end of the campaign we had a couple of 10,000 away followings and loads more for the midweek trip to the East End when Saints fans made up most of a full Brisbane Road crowd. A couple of good results over Easter would reignite demand. And the Easter fixture in our last promotion season saw 6,000 at Palace and would have been more but demand outstripped supply.

Doesn't help that there's train strikes that day to be fair which means you're either looking at bus replacement for large parts of the journey (and paying the extortionate trains prices anyway) or driving up.

I have a match ticket and I’m trying to find a way around the rail problems. Avanti and Southern (my route for the bulk of the journey)are running on Saturday. They strike on the Friday and Monday respectively. I think Cross Country is running on the Saturday too if that’s the route up from Southampton. Not clear whether Friday’s strike or “action short of a strike” will affect services on Saturday. It seems it’s Northern Rail which is on strike on the Saturday. For me that’s the final part of the journey from Preston or Manchester Victoria to Blackburn. Rail replacement services are not provided on strike days. So that leaves normal bus or coach services or an Uber from Preston or Manchester. And yeah the rail prices are a joke, even with a rail card. I won’t be driving. Any suggestions appreciated. Following Saints away this season has been really difficult all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
