    Wasn’t it when we were in League 1 and played United? I seem to remember watching it on TV and seeing practically all the Northam with away fans.

    That's not the time I was thinking of. I was in the Plymouth Uni Student Union for that game. There was a small room with about 6 Man Utd fans in, and the large room with around 40 Saints fans. Southerners stick to the south coast it seems! I sat in the small room with Man Utd fans because I was watching it with my mate who is a Man Utd fan (from London obviously). Anyway, I digress... The game I'm thinking of I was definitely in the ground for. But we may have given away the entire Northam end that time too!

    I remember Chelsea having the Northam in a cup game. Think we lost 4-0 from memory.

    We don’t have much control over ticket allocation, unless we can prove a safety issue.

    “FA Cup rules allow for an away allocation of up to 15% of the home stadium.

    "However this is subject to the local Safety Advisory Group (SAG) agreeing to that ticket allocation number.”

    Key words being "allow" and "up to" ... it's not a mandatory allocation we have to give away.

    The SAG would only reduce an allocation, not force us to increase one.


    5.3k tickets is more than 15%.

    Yeah I think so. If I'm thinking of the right game.

    Pause at 04:03 and you can see they don't have full stand.

    Edit - or for JRod's goal at the beginning. Nicely remembered!

    They had the whole of the Northam for a cup tie when we were in the Championship and skint, they won 3-0 iirc

    Berbatov ran the show obviously

    I was at this match and I was sat in the Itchen near the front and I remember Frank Lampard warming up on the sidelines and he was doing some stretching exercises and someone shouted out from the crowd about him teabagging which he heard and gave a cheesy grin back. The rest of the game I chose to forget.

    I had completely erased that one from my memory. Just had a look and it was 2009, they had a standard FA Cup allocation too.

    I'm gonna have to post the wonderfully evocative theme from,Taxi, "Angela" and REM's Man on the Moon on the music thread now.
