Where were you all?

[Prinz_Eugen]

Shocking. The cookie starts to crumble.

[saintwayne]

You say that as if it was a poor crowd?

I was expecting more like 11/12k tbh.

How many Burnley there Wayne?

[saintwayne]

Around 600 I believe.

[BileysThere]

That's a decent turnout for a 500 mile round trip but doesn't look good for the fans of Saints who think they need a bigger ground.

[saintwayne]

Agree about the Burnley turnout.

Fact is though it's a third round cup game which many people (me included) couldn't really give a damn about. Look at all the crowds today and they are all way down on the norm. Doesn't help that tickets were £20 and it comes in the middle of two other home games in just over a week either.

[BileysThere]

I have started a new thread on this Wayne, no disrespect intended but i need answers not excuses.

[Brockley_Jack]

You just wish your "ground" could hold that much Biley! XD

[saintwayne]

Excuses?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've given you the genuine reasons I didn't go.

Sorry Wayne i didn't mean YOU i meant the other 20,000 odd who have excuses.:?

[Brockley_Jack]

We can't all have season tickets like you biley.

Oh wait...

[Dirtyweasel]

Where were you all?


I was there, and enjoyed seeing us progress to the fourth round.

If I was you though, which thankfully I'm not, I'd be more concerned how my tin pot charity thieving club couldn't even make it to the third round. Sh1t you are.

[souths1]

Excuses?

Was there with the usual suspects, was a cracking game but need boruc back in goal.
As a side, my lad got charged ?2 booking fee for his ticket? How do you manage to not pay a booking fee?

[BileysThere]

I don't need a season ticket, not where i live.
Forget about me, lets concentrate on your lot of stayaways. Where were you all?

You must have been glad of the extra space in the ground, hedgehog bar and pub. Or maybe those around you were?

Think the only way around that is to pay in cash and in person at the ticket office. All online bookings and all card payments are subject to the booking fee. :/

Aside from us winning, I'm guessing it was a similar atmosphere to krap nottarf for a massive league two match. Lot's of empty seats, but ours will be full again for the visit of West Brom next week so rest your fears you little failure.

Him and his mates paid cash on the day. Myself and Pents had a similar experience at the last cup game.

Season tickets only cover Premier League matches, as any real football fan would know.

Perhaps those that stayed away today didn't want to see a Championship team, or as Wayne has alluded to, perhaps people simply couldn't afford it being so close to Christmas? Either way, I can understand the envy of any GLCT looking in on at our situation.

I know what ST' cover, but the whole point of having a st is you get to watch all games, paying extra for cup games is normal.
My point is what has happened to Saints support? Is there a feeling of deja vu?

Ah, that's due to the ticket price increasing on the day of the game. Same for all games.

[BileysThere]

South's i'm not on the sauce. are you related to brock who also thinks anyone outside his little mindset must be pissed?

[Grannie64]

For me personally,though why I need to explain myself to a Skate washer upper, I was stuck at work. Did want to go but another busy Saturday prevented me.

Washing up too were you?

[Dirtyweasel]

WTF :?

Any concerns you have over our attendances will be answered when we host West Brom next week. People on here, myself included, have tried to give you a sensible explanation regarding today's attendance but that's obviously not scratched your itch. Perhaps you could post something similar on FF and have one of your girlfriends explain?

[Pentridge]

At work.


Hope this helps.

[Dirtyweasel]

At work.


Why use statements that most visiting GLCT's simply won't understand?

[BileysThere]

No all you have done is spin some BS, your support was piss poor today not worthy of off the team you have this season, The fa cup should be a massive incentive for the Saints fans as playing a full side you have a chance, it's a shame your fans can't see that.
Tell me what else you hope to win this season?

[Dirtyweasel]

as playing a full side you have a chance,


When have we ever not fielded a full side, in any competition?

[Pentridge]

Around 600 I believe.

Good turnout tbf.

[Pentridge]

I'd be a tad disappointed if MP didn't field a full side.

Some kind rebate would be required surely?

[Dirtyweasel]

To be fair, had we started with 9 today and left Jos and the Jap on the bench, I think the result would've been the same.

[Dirtyweasel]

Around 600 I believe.


845 to be precise. B)[/quote]

Agreed. We sat near the away end in the second half and couldn't help but notice how one ageing Burnley fan kept pointing to random Saints fans then pretend to slice his own throat. It was as if I'd taken a seat back in the mid eighties, not Block One in the Itchen.

Perhaps it's a Northern thing?

[BileysThere]

By a full side i meant on and off the pitch.
You do realise you won't get 55,000 tickets for a proper Wembley tie. :?

Maybe he was a member of the arf inducing Suicide Squad who really should live up to their mantra and top themselves.

I'd only be watching a half empty stadium booing the likes of Ertl. What would that demonstrate?

[BileysThere]

Half empty stadium. XD XD XD XD XD

[Dirtyweasel]

So you find the booing acceptable, and your half empty stadium just plain funny?

[Pentridge]

To be fair, I find their half empty stadium funny.

No!! Just your contempt for half empty stadiums. XD XD XD

Unlikely, since this was a crowd at St Mary's that would represent a near capacity day at nottarF. :?

[Grannie64]

so just under 50% attendance between a Premiership team and Championship side in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup, and you question us.

02 Jan 2010 Premiership side v Championship 11,214 out of approx 21500 maximum attendence.

3rd round games,unless very high profile, coming so soon after Christmas and New Year are quite often hit with low attendances.
For me personally if I had got away from work at two would have gone, but as I got stuck at work till 6pm,stop me going. Why you concern yourself with our attendances seems macabre, especially with your club in such a perilous predicament.

Good darts.

[PapaLazarou]

Some skates are clearly fascinated by attedances and ticket sales.

Perhaps one could tell us why they haven't got close to selling their allocation for Oxford thus weekend. Could it be that the bestest are bottling it after the humiliation handed out by Oxford at the rathole earlier this season ?

Or perhaps the Yugo isn't up for that arduous 170 mile round trip...

Curious..

[Dirtyweasel]

Perhaps the few are choosing to give their money to property developers rather than supporting the club. I'm sure the developers approve of such a move.

[Brockley_Jack]

I'm surprised. It's the last time they'll play at that level for a very long time so you'd think they'd be doing the grounds while they have the opportunity. For the next few decades at least they can only dream of a visit to a club the size of Oxford.

Very fickle.

[Prinz_Eugen]

If I weren't stuck in Penge with a gammy leg, I'd be at Oxford. I like these quips about the last big club Pompey will play. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and that comment doesn't even come close.

No-one from the red and white has explained why your lot could only half fill SMS for a cup tie during the holiday season. After all, you're supposed to be an up and coming premier club with England players.Very worrying. Doesn't your economic model depend on gate receipts? Don't cloud the issue mocking a L2 club and the cheats stuff.

[PapaLazarou]

As an aside, my lad got charged 2 quid booking fee for his ticket? How do you manage to not pay a booking fee?

Looking on the OS this morning souths, the 2 quid 'booking charge' only appears to apply to tickets purchased on matchdays.

No idea why that's the case, mind..

[PapaLazarou]

I thought I had explained it at the start of the thread?

a. Cost
b. A lot of people just don't care about the cups, hence low attendances, and that is at most clubs not just Saints.

Not that hard is it.
