    I don't think we are massively undersized, but I would have liked more opportunity to give away/give cheap tickets to encourage young support in the area.

    Ideal example. I'll have a pop back rather than crying 'wum' and running to tell teacher.

    I remember similar comments when leaving the dell was muted. Obviously we have a limit but it's higher than 32000

    Wiki says your highest attendance this season was 31,688.

    Does that mean you didn't sell out once this season?

    Wiki is always right. I read on there once that Alan Ball and Terry Paine won England the World Cup ....

    "We are Southampton, we won the World Cup"

    Ps. Who always bites <laugh>

    Sorry mate. I thought there was a little discussion going on about whether or not St Mary's is a big enough ground for you.

    If you can't sell it out once in a season where you are chasing top 4, then I would suggest it probably is.

    Oh dear I appear to have replied to a discussion on a football forum again. I guess I've bitten again.

    Sometimes all tickets are sold but full capacity is not reached due to some seats being used to separate home and away fans. Also, the away team may not use the entire allocation. There have been sell outs this season, as I have been unable to purchase a ticket for certain games!

    Like all clubs trixter there are seats kept back for personnel, academy players and guests. Who do not actually pay. So are not included as such in the declaration of attendance. All teams keep such seats available. During this last season we sold out at least 4 times, or put another way, there where no seats available to purchase. As my sons found out when they flew in trying to get tickets at the last moment.
    It would seem we are good fisherman as you point out as we are able to catch you time after time.........:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    ODFO, Trixter, you're becoming tedious now.

    One thing I found utterly hilarious at Upton Park is that you need the tannoy to play "I'm forever blowing bubbles" before anyone will sing it. That, despite your having the bestest, bestest ever fans in the world. Seriously, what kind of fans need to be enticed to sing their club's theme tune? Really?

    Yours is the only team I take a dislike to in the whole world of football (and that includes Portsmouth). You're a middling little team who played tedious, snooze-inducing, abominable hoofball for years. Your only day of glory was having a player in the World Cup in 1966. Well done you.

    I must say I find it irritating that we lose hundreds of seats at every game because of the layout someone chose for the Northam End. I hesitate to think how much revenue that banner separating home and away fans has cost us. I hope that the benefit (namely moving it when a visiting team doesn't sell its allocation) outweighs the loss.

    Does this mean WHU are the new Pompey?

    Can't wait for those % of seats sold = better attendance than actual fans in stadium discussions :emoticon-0142-happy

    Hang on let me get this right, we set up a thread dedicated to trixter, he posts on it and from what i've read his posts have all been civil, a few of our posters start having a pop at him and accuse him of wumming and when he responds to these posts he gets more grief.

    If you don't like trixter
    A. Stop dedicating threads to him or
    B. don't open and read the content of the thread.

    For what its worth i'm not a fan of west ham, i don't agree with them getting the olympic stadium but i don't blame them for having it, fair play to their board for pulling it off.
