absolute f*cking pisstake of requirements, 7am start at the ground, be there probably before 10am to stand around and do nothing, forced to use coaches, and looks like they're going to try and force people in the blocks nearest the home ends to sit.
Complete f*cking sh*t and ruined what should be the best away day of the season. I can't believe our own fans said this was a good thing, noddy f*cking pr*cks.

That i know of Northern Saints (which i think is the biggest), London Saints and Welsh Saints. doubt the total of those combined is more than 50 people, in fact i think London saints is less than a dozen. |
London Saints have between 200 and 250 members, getting on for 50 of them are Season Ticket Holders at St Mary’s |  | | |

Are they the ones who eat jellied eels, always going on about having to take the apples and pears and are constantly doing the Lambeth Walk? |  |

When I last went to Fratton back in 2004/05 (IIRC - I am rather old) I took the train from Guildford. It was full of Skates so I just kept a low profile and was unscathed.
I mean, I was psychologically damaged by the football but was physically unharmed.
It probably helped that I’m a real hard man.
I don’t remember what the final score was but a great time was had by all (Pompey fans).
I nearly got in a fight with a fellow Saints fan so it wasn’t my proudest moment. | |

This is the irony of it all.
Most of our fans are far more likely to get involved in fisticuffs with themselves rather than with any set of opposing fans. |  |

We are averaging 47 per game so far, despite only 3 going to Liverpool and 6 to Norwich in cup.
You probably recognise the old faces like me, but in last 3 or 4 years a lot of new younger members have joined boosting our membership | | | |

But why are they getting tickets ahead of fans who have been to more away games? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they have held back about 200 tickets so that all the London Saints members can go to the Pompey game, even if some of them have only attended one away game? So they are jumping the queue ahead of people who have been to 10? Are London Saints or Northern Saints being given tickets regardless of their loyalty? [Post edited 11 Dec 19:40]

London Saints did not get 200 tickets , it was in line with our average away sales of 47 tickets [Post edited 11 Dec 20:22]

So 47 tickets for any London Saints members, who have been to 17 away games today, or just any London Saints members? | |

Tickets prioritised in line with SFC criteria, most but not all will have been to at least 17 away games in last two seasons, as travelling away from London often easier than from Southampton.
We have one member whose not missed an away game in 40 years, and a few others just a handful in that period
The one thing is they actually all go to the games, rather than numerous supporters who just buy tickets never intending to go, then try to sell them on, just to build up their numbers. [Post edited 11 Dec 20:59]

Managed to use the free wi fi which they now have onboard on certain airlines whilst I was flying back from Australia today . I booked my skate ticket today. It was a Nightmare trying to work out when to log on as the time differences vary because there’s so many time zones to fly through but I got there in the end buying a ticket online at Doha airport .

I am just trying to work out who is getting these "reserved" tickets and if it's fair. It looks like 400 to 500 tickets kept back. If all these people are loyal fans who have been to many away games this season fair enough. But I don't suspect that is the case. There was an empty block at Charlton, and they said it was sold out. I knew people who wanted to go, but couldn't because it was sold out, yet there was an empty block. The Pompey game is a huge game that so many people are desperate to go to, and they have reserved about 400 to 500 seats, but for who? Why should loyal fans have to wait until their particular number of away games, whilst 500 fans get tickets automatically, if that's the case. The Echo have told me they will try to contact the club for transparency. [Post edited 11 Dec 21:09]

Yup I’m fully aware the London Saints do most aways, as I alluded to I know a few of them from games and I see the same faces at virtually every away. Cannot fault their loyalty home or away. Same is true for the northern Saints who are also equally as committed.
Much rather those mushes get tickets than the lot who buy to hoard numbers and sell the tickets on the minute they get them | | | |

Nick you know people at the club is there anyway you can ask the question about why so many tickets are given to corporates etc? |  |

But that just makes it less interesting, if we’re all sat at st Mary’s with half and halfs it’s not a derby |
You won’t see many half and half scarves at a Merseyside derby, apart from the tourist reds at Anfield. The Anfield derby is a very strange one these days. Everton fans get kettled by the police into the ground and kept back after the game to allow the home fan to get their coaches home via the sovenir shop. The atmosphere in the game itself is really low key and somewhat sanitised with the tourists not really seeing Everton as a rival.
Goodison derbys were different, pissed up bear pits which is what derbies should be. You rarely saw a red in the Everton ends in the past 10 years and when they were, it kicked off.
It will interesting to see what it will be like at BMD with reds possibly getting the seat unique expensive seats that you don’t need to be a member for. | | | |
