[ady1973]

Soton must have real problems filling their stadium

Been offered a ticket for this in the away end but I can’t get it off work

Is it POTG

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

A colleague at work supports Southampton. As a season ticket holder he can bring two mates along to the match for £15 each plus he gets some kind of food voucher thrown in.

Tinpotery of the highest order almost on a par with them up the road

I guess we aren’t much of a draw[emoji41]

It's a non glamour game on a Monday night. Last year we had to do "Bring a mate for £15" to sell out for the Stoke game in similar circumstances.

Totally the issue not very attractive fixture on the graveyard Monday night slot

Then I guess neither are they.

Anyone know best place(s) to park?

Anyone know best place(s) to park?

There is a car park just over the bridge.

Locals take chances on the verges right next to the stadium, but the car park is easy to get out of afterwards.

Let's not kid ourselves. Support wise we're similar to both soton and palace. If we were to remain in the prem 5/6 years bobbing around mid to bottom, I'm confident we'd be in the same position trying to sell out the lesser games (esp on telly on a Monday night)

Very good point as away attendances are slipping away very quickly now

True about saints but not about palace. They seem to 'magically' conjur about 10,000 extra fans who are all die-hards but who, for some reason, cannot bring themselves along to any other match outside the premier league.

To be fair, that can be said about a few clubs.

Remember going to Cardiff a few seasons ago for that drab 0-0 and feeling like I could count the amount of Cardiff fans on one hand with fingers left to spare. Now, they're almost full every week.

How strange... pretty sure that Sky have secured this one for TV as it's the "huge South Coast Derby between two clubs with a fierce rivalry thus making it a real humdinger of a contest".

Not sure, but maybe Sky should check with the supporters of both clubs because I'm not positive any of us feel they have the billing right on this one!

If they were playing in Red then it might be as much down to the problems the fans had with their owner back then as it is to do with JCLs.

Couldn't make this when tickets went on sale, but now could...if it wasn't sold out

We've sold out, but they haven't. I do appreciate that this might not appeal.

Makes me think of this
