CharlieFarlie 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Just seen on the club website, Southampton have returned a 1000 tickets as only bringing 1400, on sale as of this morning , The Jarrold Ultras will be snapping them up then ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puzzy magnet 0 Posted February 15, 2010 I think the club needs to have a look at the process of allocating away tickets.Aside from Leeds we shouldn''t really be giving anyone in this league more than 1k tickets to start with.Southampton asking for 2,400 - then sending 1,000 back - is just silly. Anyone who saw how many they brought to our place last season would know their away support is shite unless it''s a crunch game. Leaves us with just 5 days to shift 1,000 tickets, after telling everyone the game had sold out. Must be a better way of doing things than this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnakepitCanary 0 Posted February 15, 2010 It doesn''t matter that we have to sell 1000 in 5 days, I would be surprised if all the tickets weren''t snapped up by the end of tomorrow. I will certainly be snapping mine up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wembley_Canary 0 Posted February 15, 2010 I must admit that i''m surprised Southampton have given us back 1,000 tickets, their away support is usually fairly good. I would have thought that more teams would have brought bigger numbers to Carrow Road this season than they have done, only Leeds this season will sell out the full away allocation. Is Norwich really that much of a pain in the arse to get to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puzzy magnet 0 Posted February 15, 2010 It''s more the fact half the teams we are playing struggle to get 7/8k for home games - let alone take 2k away. Southampton''s away support has always been poor. They brought about 400 to our place last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puzzy magnet 0 Posted February 15, 2010 [quote user="Sports Desk Pete"]"The red and white army currently stands at 780 for the trip to the league leaders on Saturday."[/quote]Standard for them; they''ll bring 900 tops. Which begs the question: which **** in their ticket office asked for an initial allocation of 2,200-2,400? Absurd. Like giving Hartlepool the whole of the Jarrold to sell...

e10_yellow 0 Posted February 15, 2010 The original story on the Saints website at http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1952144,00.html suggests they had 1,318 to start with and could have had more if they sold fast, but obviously not. So I guess they didn''t ask for the full allocation straight off. Don''t think us only having five days to sell 1,000 will be a problem though, they''re going to fly out.

Steve Hopkins 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Negating a league match to save money for the JP final? Christ almighty. Might not bother going to any more City games for the rest of the season as I''m sure the club will have a lovely pre-season tour of Scotland that I just wouldn''t want to miss.
