    Sounds reasonable to me. You start from the number of ST holders and add on the other tickets sold. As for fire regs, they only care that you don't exceed the maximum.

    Like I said, they have to keep an official number too but it's not what they publicise.

    You could get it via FOI requests if you wanted to.

    He made one excellent save that I can remember, the rest were routine saves that you'd expect your GK to make. Got to pick someone as MOTM though. Lemina and Shakiri probably ran him clos

    FOI? Bloody hell - why would anyone?? Think that only applies to public bodies anyway. Judging by twitter a fair number of fans stayed away on account of a difficult journey. A day earlier and I would have done likewise. Spoke to Stoke mate who came down on the coach and he said all the main roads were clear. Good turnout from them.

    West Ham fans have done it quite a lot at the OS.

    They’re very sad ;-). Of course WHU rent the stadium from a public body.

    I wouldn't call it sad personally. Any group of fans who try to hold the owners to account over lies get my support.

    Posting a comment on here after another home match is almost pointless because you can simply cut and paste the same comments from the previous match at St Marys.

    For what it was worth. the Adam Blackmore interview post-match felt priceless. MP2 is totally deluded. His tactics in the first half produced one, dismal half-chance and, when he changed the formation against type in the second half, the employment of the second striker was clearly demonstrative that he had failed to unpick Stoke in the first 45. As Merrington says, he is not learning. To be frank, MP2 is clearly stupid and cannot see the evidence before his own eyes. It beggars belief.

    I think signs looked promising at the beginning of the season but the writing has been on the wall since November and how be has remained in his job is beyond belief. There has been no improvement and every match at St Mary's seems like Groundhog Day. Some June, there needs to be a massive clear-out, not just of playing staff but further up with the likes of Les Reed needing to be held to account. I can't see how the Chinese can be satisfied. Someone must pull the ttrigger if we are to stay up.

    There’s no doubt that if we do get relegated, it will be entirely the fault of Les Reed and Ralph Krueger. They have had the power to change things, and have to take responsibility for how this season goes. They’ve had more than enough warning signs to take action.

    I had a premonition you are going to beat Citeh, on the last day of the season and just stay up.

    Yep, the signs were there, and he should have gone 12 games into the season.

    I can’t even be bothered to comment anymore, as others have said it’s like Groundhog Day. I’ve gone past being frustrated and angry about the boards lack of action and I’m now apathetic. If we stay up it will be in spite of Pellegrino. I can’t get enthusiastic about any game atm- we can’t even beat Stoke at home FFS.

    It's so frustrating..a couple of wins no matter how ugly they are should propel is to safety but we just can't seem to do it I'm really fearing for us now as most of the teams around us are doing well. I have a feeling it we survive it will end up being because of a freak result against one of the top 6 as opposed to those around us

    I've said for a while that I think we'll need to beat a top 6 side.

    Unfortunately we're in a position where we need to do both.
    We can't afford not to pick up points against both Newcastle and West Ham. IMO we need 4 points minimum from our next two games.

    Edit: Meant to reply to both thebronze and Liebherr but as usual I've balls it right up.
