https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-08-09/southampton-cup-tuesday-summary Photos and article about ongoing Southampton Cup. Brings back bad memories (standing in driving sleet on a Sunday afternoon) and good memories (seeing how much it all meant to the kids and how much fun football can be). Valuable lessons for life...how you have to deal with both success and failure. Good to see girls' sides joining in as well.
Not received mine yet. Still trying to work out how to claim the discount for a match ticket. Bought one for Watford and ended up paying the full price.
Nothing yet. There is obviously some technical issue as when I bought my ticket for the Swansea game I had a message that the ticket wouldn't be uploaded to my membership card but sent as an actual cardboard item in the post. I got the ticket a couple of weeks ago. They wouldn't have wasted those thousands of pounds on postage to all members if there wasn't a problem of some kind.
You won't have lost your discount as it will still be on your theoretical membership card. I claimed my discount...can't remember the wording, but was an option when the ticket was booked. The wording wasn't clear so you may have missed it. I should have only got £5 off per ticket, but it let me take the full £10 off one ticket.
Seeing as the West Ham tickets had to be printed/posted as well as the Swansea ones I assumed that the cards won't be sent out until at least the 21st.
Not the point but you can tweet a lot more in Japanese. Probably why they aren't so angry all the time.
Train just went past the field near Eastleigh airport where the Southampton Cup is being held. Good to see the girls still at it despite the rain Boys seem to have ****ed off though.
I think Yoshida must have turned down a new deal, I can't believe we wouldn't have offered him one. Maybe he wants to go back to Japan?
He said a couple of seasons ago at his age he wants first team football. He's had it since but i'm sure he's waiting to see if he's first choice before signing a new contract. If he ends up as a reserve i think he will move on after honoring his contract.
Maya said something very similar recently about his position depending on what CBs we get in. He deserves another contract, but would another one or two year extension suit him. He needs to play and, whatever happens this season, Saints are bound to be looking for a good CB or two for next season. Not a bad scenario for him to finish his contract and go on a free....with no recriminations or tears.
