    Yep, I bet too. Get the sleeping pill down the neck, the in-ear defenders on, and get as comfy as possible.

    Yes, I'm not quite sure 1] why Maya and Florin didn't go to the USA, and 2] why they were not back at the club waiting for the rest to come home.

    Maya couldn't get a visa in time because he had played a match in a middle eastern country. Don't know about Florin, but perhaps his nationality was a problem (or he had a criminal record :bandit:).

    You shouldn't need to wait for the card to arrive - once you buy your membership, you should be able to buy your tickets online straight away (at least I could, but I was renewing).

    Correct.
    I bought two tickets for Watford game using existing customer numbers as they don't change and was told the game would already be on the new cards when they arrive

    After getting my e-mail from Claude :D I suddenly realised that Supporter number is also Membership number <doh> I'll book my first ticket to SMS tonight :D Any recommendations of which stands/areas are the best?

    I like the Kingsland because you don't get the sun or the wind in your face. It was my carefully selected preference when SMS opened...took the weather into account. I sat in the opposite stand when they didn't open the Kingsland and I burnt to a crisp. Some like to be behind the goal though.

    Yes, my old season ticket was Kingsland 'Premier' and jolly nice it was mainly 'cos a whole lot of us migrated from the Dell to stay sitting near each other. These days on my occasional visit I try to book in the Kingsland North. I tried the Itchen Centre for a League Cup game a couple of years ago but hated it, everything was the wrong way round!

    Can be hard to get a good seat...but I managed to get one close to my old ST seat, so chuffed.

    Depends on what you like. I like to sit quite high (we are two thirds up) so you can follow the flow of the game. I like to have good atmosphere too. I am not keen on being behind the goals because it is hard to assess action at the far end.

    I've never been behind the goal but when I've been at Swansea I've been at the equivalent of section 33 in Kingsland Centre which was fine. I'll see what's available :)

    I was behind the Northam goal for the first time for the Newcastle game last season, normally I'm in the Kingsland North but they sold out. I actually really enjoyed being so close to the goalmouth action, although of course you can't see much up the other end.

    Sorry for being so over the top but I've just ordered my ticket for the Watford game :1980_boogie_down: I treated myself (late birthday present) to a seat in the Kingsland Premium area and seeing as I'm in row X I'd guess that I'm either towards the bottom or the top :) I'm ridiculously excited already!

    Let me know if you need a partial car share.... or come meet us at the Old Farmhouse so you know I am "normal" ... ish :confused:

    By the way. I sit Row AA about two thirds up, so you'll be about half way back, or just over. Are you around Block 30-34?

    Which seat number only I think you could be next to me as none of the people who sit by me have renewed their tickets so there are plenty of spaces.
