Boro vs Saints - Saturday 12.30pm - 1st leg

[Saint NL]

It appears that the team which has won the playoffs most in the last 14 years finished in 4th place....

 

A good omen at least

More seat sales windows tomorrow. In 30 minute stages.

About 1500 left 1000 of which are either side of the away fans.

I meant the away game, can see the home tickets.

Only saints could make a new away end and make it bigger than it actually needs to be. 
 

Also pretty frustrating that they can find a segregation solution when we need to give more tickets (Arsenal in the cup for example) but can’t find a solution when they could have sold more tickets to Saints fans. 
 

Surely at the bare minimum they could have found a way to sell block 28 to saints fans? 

I think the concourses are an issue. In theory you could have half of 27 used for segregation and then the Saints fans can use the normal turnstiles and concourse and access.

But I think an entrance makes up part of that block so you'd have to staff it inside the concourse to stop away fans using it.

Not wholly convinced they'll even make the morning, looks like there's only about 200 left. Unless of course the club are going to chuck another 100 player/staff comps back onto the pile...

Got to charge away fans more to pay for all the freebies that are dished out on a scale never seen before until recent seasons.

Got his moustache caught in the electronic turnstile? 

Or they might have declined to provide a bespoke space in the bike racks for his Penny Farthing.

I once saw one of those being ridden around Freemantle after a beer festival at the Waterloo Arms. Surely Hopback beers aren’t THAT strong I thought to myself….

Those fans who don’t want to go up because we are “not ready” or and those that want to stay in the championship because it’s better - do they want to lose to boro or at Wembley ?

Anyone that doesn’t want us up is absolutely bonkers.

Of course everyone wants to go up.

But there's no denying that the championship is more "fun".

As a supporter who always want to win games and your club to play at the highest level. Also thr money will help the club massively. It is easy to get stuck in the Championship and become a nothing club. On the flip side of this I cannot stand the premier league, so you can be on both sides of this.

I can't actively want us to lose but I'm not going to particularly gutted after a day if we do.

[Stud mark of doom]

I’m not sure we will ever be much more “ready” to go up? The current squad seems brilliant for the championship.

The championship is more “fun” at the moment because we have one of the best squads and biggest budgets. If we stay down here it will quickly become miserable as we lose more money and players.

12:30 kick offs are a pain in the bum. Why not 3pm? Is it just because of tv as there is only the premier league left. Just means instead of leaving at 12:30 for a 3pm kick off, so will need to set off at 10:00 🙄

I want Saints to be as successful as we can possibly be....but my God i fucking hated last season and despise most of the over-hyped Premier League , SKY TV, super Sundays, VAR, "big 6" , corporate stadiums , oil money , 115 charges nonsense 

Days out at places like Preston are a great reminder there's plenty of life in the game away from the Premier league circus 

If we go up then we'd have had a brilliant few weeks and another day at Wembley but I wont be too upset if stay down, Lincoln away ole ole

Don’t think so, but I’m pretty sure we knocked him out in the cup.

It’s fun when you’re winning, not when you’re Stoke or Blackburn…

People that have never kicked a ball in a match before spouting shit on the internet. It gets worse every year. Not helped by the ridiculous over-analysis of MoTD, Sky etc. I still watch MoTD, but just the highlights, fast forward the "analysis", ridiculous bollocks.
