Around 1979 to 1985, the thought of 5,000 Chelsea fans in town would have had Hampshire Police ****ting themselves. Now, the only people worried will be local restuarants that they'll run out of foie gras.
Following on from the Chelsea invasion of our drinkig and eating establishments, I wonder how much money having a PL team is worth to Southampton itself.
away fans are entitled to up to 15% of the stadium. they wont buy 5000 tickets up front. you'll get the rest when you sell the first lot.
How many saints fans will go?? Given that Lee Barnard was not allowed to be cup tied down the coast, does this give us an insight into how seriously we will be taking the FA Cup. I know,as my wife and I have season tickets, we are not keen on parting with £50 to watch the stiffs get beat..
I'm not sure. Cup games are often low when midweek. I can't see Adkins playing a usual cup side against Chelsea, because there is such a thing as pride and it is a Saturday game. Doubt it will be a sell out, but I expect about 20,000+
