You could contact the club and see if they’ll let you swap, don’t see why they wouldn’t.

They won't do any changes I'm pretty sure.

It says on the OS they won’t make any changes. Annoying as I’m in the same position.

Ticket booked, all very easy this morning. Looks to be great position near halfway line - glad I messed up the other day and got caught up in meetings and missed getting one of the last few up in the gods 😅

Do you have cheaper tickets in upper tier? Genuine suggestion offer them on here, tickets can be transferred on app. Lower price might help some people then perhaps you can buy lower halfway line, guessing need more qualifying customer numbers to do that though

Talking to a fellow Saints fan at my kids school this morning, said he was driving up "as trains arent running" , I told him about additional services being put on from Central to Waterloo, journey takes a bit longer thats all, he had no idea. So a reminder on here: 

FA Cup - ADDITIONAL TRAINS - SOUTHAMPTON CENTRAL 

The following additional services to London Waterloo will operate:

DEP 0825 ARR 1023
DEP 0844 ARR 1044
DEP 0925 ARR 1122
DEP 0943 ARR 1144
DEP 1025 ARR 1225
DEP 1044 ARR 1244
DEP 1125 ARR 1326
DEP 1144 ARR 1343

All services are direct calling at Waterloo only.
A queuing system will be place to manage the amount that of customers on the platform. 

There will also be additional services returning to Southampton starting at 2039 and the last being 2320.

There are 10 of us so probably more hassle than it's worth but a good idea!

Wonder if they'll be any freebies inside the ground like the league cup final with those scarfs.  Will look amazing with yellow & blue scarfs flying...

Textbook SR, not a single yellow item apart from a pair of socks...

I wonder how many 'dynamic body flags' they will sell.

I’m taking some right vintage yellow themed merch with me to Wembley. I’ve got  jo Tessems actual 2003 yellow long sleeved shirt, which is absolutely massive and also my mums saints knitted yellow and blue scarf from 76”. Managed to find my son a 2001 yellow kids 3rd shirt from the car boot on Sunday.. so we’re proper prepared!!  Let’s just hope city aren’t prepared and fail to turn up.

How on earth is a direct train from Soton to Waterloo taking 2 hours?

[EssEffCee]

Going via Havant due to engineering works.

Because it goes via Havant due to engineering works between Basingstoke and Woking. 

The train leaves Southampton Central and goes 'directly' to Waterloo

We were originally sitting in the penultimate row up in the gods but I have just now bought two more ticketson the halfway line down near the pitch using my daughter's membership.

This now means that we have two tickets for sale if anybody is interested. They cost me £85 for the pair so any offers?
