I suspect that Coventry fans may well have found a way to buy tickets in the non-away blocks. They sold their allocation very quickly after all.

True but they are very much optional extras. I do think £6 for a **** beer or burger is very steep, but if i cared that much I just wouldn't pay it.
Main thing is not pricing out parents bringing their young kids or teenagers going with their mates.
For a one club city as big as Southampton, no other premier league side within 50+ miles, we should be selling out 28k home tickets every week. Get the youth of today into it and they will be fans for life.
The price and quality of the concourse catering have often been criticised certainly room for improvement. Something for the new owners to take on?
Beers are £5 or £4.50 for ST holders. Not exactly extortionate. I don't think the food is too badly priced either..
Probably helps that the refund from earlier this season made this effectively free for season ticket holders, but still very good to see.
I used to have a wine (lol wine not whine before you all say it) or two outside because the crap inside for £5 was so rough that i needed something to take the edge off. Couple that with the fact that at halftime they only have 15 mins to sell and are soooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooow that i never got my drink until after kick off.
Since October I have given up all alcohol so it isn't an issue, and now all I get is a coffee before the game and that is it. Likewise with food, forget it - over priced and crap.
The issue is that it is rented out to an events company, so Saints don't make any extra money if they sell twice or half as much. Take it back in house, train your staff to actually serve people in under 2 mins and you will make more money and have happier customers. In fact it is so simple to do that they won't do it.

My experience of the catering is pretty limited because I rarely use it but a couple of games ago I was starving enough to have to eat in the concourse. The pie I had was a vast improvement on the wet cardboard one I had once before so I assumed the catering has had a makeover. I don't know how the rest of the food tastes but would have no problem with another pie. The tea is ok but coffee is almost undrinkable imo.

That 3rd goal. The pass and finish such top quality.
If we had kept those 3 in the team in that form, we would've had a few more European tours.
There certainly will be, my Cov ST friend says there are loads being sold on their forums at a premium price for the Saints bit of the ground. Might get lively
Three great goals and Fulham’s always a good day out, nice walk by the river, good places to eat and drink and we always win
On this day last year................
..............Yeah let's skip that.

Well done to Saints for coming equal 2nd in the EPL Green League
I suspect some of the targets are more real than others though, when I see this quote about squad travel to Away games ...
“Tottenham Hotspur players now travel to matches on coaches powered by biofuel, reducing squad coach travel emissions by over 80%. While other clubs such as Liverpool have committed to decarbonising fuel through the use of sustainable aviation fuel in the future, which would also reduce emissions by 80%”
That’s a real achievement by Spurs but just BS from Liverpool. Who wouldn’t commit to that?
If they could invent a way of running planes on Greenwash Bullshit then we’d be laughing

Flew over for that one. We were rubbish in the 1st half. Should have been behind. 2nd half was one of the best halves of football I witnessed from Saints. We were fantastic!!
