Agree we look quite open, Preston could and should have scored a couple more today, need to tighten up as Boro will punish us, they looked very good at Ipswich few games ago 

A fresh Downes will help with that. Hopefully Stephens back as well will help us be tighter.

We’re flying out of Southampton on Saturday morning and back into Heathrow later that evening. Lift home sorted. £56 return alongside a few avios 👌

What time is the Soton flight?

Seems like a great price that, although Middlesbrough is still a fair way from Newcastle airport . 

Going to be interesting how tickets are sorted,  probably will be digital and can't see Middlesbrough giving us more than the mandatory 2,000

Just looking on their forum, apparently Hackey is out injured (likely for sat at least), and their manager chops between 4 and 3 at the back from game to game.

A great opportunity for us to get back up. We are rightly favourites and have a lot of advantages being the form side and play off/Wembley experience

We were also a totally different proposition to when we played these 3 sides earlier in the season, be it under the useless or Still or before we switched formation and settled the side.

We should be confident and positive to win the first tie, none of this take a draw talk.

Are we favourites with the bookies? I can't imagine there's much between us and Middlesbrough,  must be about evens

Boro favourites to win their home leg, understandably. But we're clear favourites to win over two legs.

If everyone is fit, I'd be tempted to start the away leg with Welington and Fellows, with Manning and Matsuki coming in for the home leg.

Yes, slight favourites over Millwall. Middlesbrough pushed out based on playing us. Whoever wins our semi final will be the favourites in the final.

Just booked tickets as they were in my reserved seat section on the ticket page. £31.50.

Is there any announcement about schedule of sale?

Club needs to pull their finger out. 6 days until the first leg and it's not even showing up as a fixture on the OS...

Haven’t you heard? Boro are so terrified of the Tonda machine they’ve forfeited the tie.

07.50. Arrives into Newcastle around 9am. Would be reasonably tight with an hour or two delay but it’s the first flight of the day for Logan so here’s hoping it runs to time.

Presumably we already have 2,000 fans who qualify as ST Holders and 18+ aways? 

I realise i have no chance ☹️

Seems a very restrictive set of criteria. I wonder how many tickets will be left over after those windows? 

Also, 2100 is a shit allocation. It's only about 6% of the Riverside's capacity. I hope we are being equally stingy with the away allocation for the home leg.

I remember the days when teams would give cup style 'extra' allocations in the play offs, like when we took 5000 to Derby , these limited allocations are a shame really. 

Its a hell of a way to go for an early kick off, see official coaches leaving 4am, no point going to bed really. 

Fair play to MIddlesbrough for their prices, really good to see.

Two big questions:

- How confident are you of beating Middlesbrough?

- How confident are you we’ll be a Premier League club again in three weeks time?

Moderately. 

Touch and go.

Finishing 4th tips the balance in our favour IMO. Don’t lose the away leg and I think we’ll qualify. Lose by the odd goal and I still think we’ll qualify. Lose by more than one and we’re struggling.

I think we beat Millwall and Hull at Wembley. Dare i say comfortably? 

The Boro game is the one.

I truly admire your Saints loyalty, but I doubt there is a team on the planet that would beat Millwall AND Hull at Wembley, if you managed to get past the 8 defenders, you’d be facing 2 goalies 😀

Level the odds and put Gavin Bazunu the hologram in goal for Hullwall City. Shot on goal = Saints goal.

1, 80-85% with no/minimal injuries

2, depends who we get (assuming 1 happens).

- Hull id be 80-85%.

- Millwall 65% based on the games we have played them and I like their manager.

Shit allocation for a big stadium. I hope Saints reciprocate with the smallest away allocation possible. Would’ve thought the rules would be the same as regular league games but clearly not. Load of shit

I think they are. It’s the same as we received earlier in the season. It’s 2000 or 10 percent, whichever is less.

Oh fair enough, maybe that’s something I always should’ve known but always expected the 10% somewhere like that. 
 

Hope Saints do the same in return even if it leaves gaps in the away end, fuck them

Wouldn't say the final will be comfortable but I don't think the rest of what you say is far off.

I assume anyone in the first window tomorrow at 12.30pm is guaranteed a ticket? I'm without internet access until later in the afternoon annoyingly. 

I would assume so. The club fucked up the QPR game earlier this season but since then appear to have got it right in setting the start point as a guaranteed sale.

I’ve got 20 aways - what you reckon my chances are ?

Decent I reckon but depends how many in first group take up their option and how many the club take out.
