So ticket sales look slow for next Tuesday's Carabao Cup game v Southampton. Bit mystifying: they're cheap, we're likely to see plenty of our expensive new signings play, and it's an early chance to put one over a South coast 'rival'. And by the looks of things, they'll be coming in numbers and likely to roll over our vocal support.
So - are you going? And if not, why? Be interesting to see ...

I was until they announced VAR will be used.

As soon as they bring in VAR to the league I’ll be giving up my season ticket, so this is just the first step to that.

I’m giving it a miss, after tickets to Watford,Liverpool, Saints and Man City bought already in the last 6 weeks something had to give.

Factor in travel and £15 to park as have to drive to get home sadly had to decide not to.

Bit of an over reaction as it improved drastically from the beginning of the WC to the end. Think it will end up being fine and we’ll just get used to it.

Yep - I’m missing the Fulham game as going on holiday that day and the next Home league game is ages away so this was a good option.

Perhaps another option ‘No: I’m standing shoulder to shoulder with those who demand flasks at matches’?

Run that one past me again - you’ll give up your season ticket because because in-play technology could be introduced? Not, that the team is playing crap, or ticket prices are too high, or it’s too difficult to get to matches, or you can’t take your flask into the stadium or a zillion other reasons? No, you’ll give up your season ticket because a decision on the pitch needs to be reviewed.

Nope. Made a financial decision in the middle of last season that away days and cup games are no longer viable.

On nights next week and not really got enough leave left so the cowabunga cup will have to do without me and my flask.

Can't afford it sadly , probably cost me around £150 after petrol and pies so sadly this will be my first miss of the early league cup rounds for years .

I want to go but the parking price is exorbitant and I'm not putting up with the Bridge unless I have to for a bigger match. I agree that it will most probably feature our new signings a little more and I would love to see that.
