The FA and FL Cup Thread 2016/17

So tickets for the away leg of the semi-final are initially on sale to season ticket holders only:

With an allocation of 5,600 though I can easily see it being opened up to Official Members after 30/12 and then even General Sale after that.....

 

I dreamt last night that we beat Everton 2-1 in the FA Cup Final....oh, let that be true.

Mind you I also dreamt I saved a baby from a plane crash.

 

Suprised they think that they'll all go to st holders... like you pretty confident of it reaching members.

Really want to do this one but unsure if finances will allow for travel/hotel etc.

 

Don't think they think they will all go to ST holders, but have to start with them or they'd be pissed off.

 

Oh of course, just suprised there wasn't a 'subject to availability, tickets will go on sale members on x of jan'

I reckon this will even make general sale tbh...

 

Why couldn't the Liverpool game be a week later

 

Anyone know how many we've sold for Liverpool away?

Should be hearing an announcement soon regarding tickets for members.

 

If it comes down to either/or, don't feel too bad about dropping the baby

 

Don't worry....I have a proper sense of priorities.

 

When I saw the thread title, my thoughts immediately went to the Norwich match. My brain has already written off the Liverpool games, I guess. Bad Saints fan

 

The game v Norwich has achieved an importance beyond being an FA Cup game. Should play a strong team (well as strong as we have anyway)....the team need a win.

Jack Stephens saying that the gap before the return of the EPL is a chance to rebuild confidence....this isn't the time to feel sorry for ourselves. Need a result against Norwich. Quite right, Jack....glad someone is speaking up.

 

Norwich City FC (First Team) v Southampton FC (First Team)
FA Cup
Referee: Kavanagh, Christopher
Assistant Referee: Greenhalgh, Nick
Assistant Referee: Foley, Matt
Fourth Official: Whitestone, Dean

 

As well as he played, and how great it is another academy player got a chance, he shouldn't be the one facing the media right now!

 

I know we've got Norwich first at the weekend, but is anyone else starting to get absolutely ****ing buzzing about next week

 

I'm tingling a bit, yes. Not sure if that's excitement or terror though.

 

The former mate, with a sprinkling of the latter. Or is it the latter with a sprinkling of the former?

Either way I can't wait. Looking forward to getting back to St Marys.

 

We need a volunteer to do the Norwich match thread.......anyone not done one who fancies it?

 

Could I suggest that whoever is kind enough to do the Norwich thread, also undertakes to do the 2 after that as well, regardless of the results? That way, however bad things get, at least we'll know there's a match thread in the pipeline!

 

Don't all rush at once!!
