Genuinely don’t know how anyone has the money to go to away games and spend all day on the beers anymore. £10 a pint in London now <laugh> fair play to ya. Wish I could join.

Up the saints

Going to away games isn't as expensive as you might think - mainly thanks to the £30 price cap on tickets. The average away game costs me around £80 - that's ticket, transport and food/drink. This is where being a football referee comes in very handy - I use money from that on all Saints games from September onwards. I don't even have to touch my bank account apart from in August.

You're drinking in the wrong places if you're paying a tenner for a pint in London!

£7.99 for a poncey designer lager in my mate's local just off the Holloway Road. I was ****ing appalled tbh, and the equally poncey 'micro-brewery' was just round the corner. God knows who all the hip young things were who were paying that, but the place was busy for a Friday lunchtime. This is the sort of boozer which 20 years ago, would have been full of cement spattered Paddies drinking Guinness and watching racing on the TV. I don't call the change in clientele progress.

Just paid £3.75 for a pint of Carling, in a Southampton Premier Inn, which wasn’t great but cheaper than anticipated.
I will be back to paying €2.50 a pint from Sunday, when I arrive in Spain.

I suppose the difference between a £3.75 carling and £5+ craft beer is that I'd pay £3.75 not to have to drink a carling <laugh><cheers>

This is a pretty interesting season we have coming up. Lots of new faces but no guarantee's. Coming off a double season where we have overachieved and then fallen to bits this is going to be career defining for Ralph and for the squad as far as Saints go. It would be grossly unfair for any manager to be judged on the first month of the season but that's what Ralph is facing so fingers crossed August isn't a total disaster.

Getting anything from this opening match would be a result so at the very worst I would be hoping to go down by a narrow goal margin and have some positives to take into the first home game against Leeds.

I’m quite looking forward to it atm. I’ll probably change my mind at 3:06 though.

I’m guessing it will be a difficult start with all the new players bedding in but hopefully it will start to click in September. A reverse of last season where we finish strongly would probably keep most happy.

Agree with all of this. With regard to Ralph l would hope that he is not judged on the first month of fixtures and is given at least to the WC break. Am no fan of his, but he needs to be given time with this young squad and to prove me and others wrong.
