    Nah 15% is the 4,800 ish we used to give (see Pompey/United ties from each league one season) and it's only relatively recently we started giving the whole end.

    If it's not simply trying to ensure more tickets are sold I'm guessing segregation might play a part? But that seems odd when we managed for so many years without huge incident (skates aside) ?

    I think you'll find that the current received wisdom is that "If Guly scores, we're on the pitch" :1980_boogie_down:

    I remember one match against Leicester when I was given a ticket in the upper tier seats of the old West Stand right in the corner by the Milton Road. Saints attacked the Archers in the first half and proceeded to batter them and scored 4 goals before HT (Baker, Moran, George and Keegan). The problem was that the whole of the Archers penalty box was obscured from our view by a dirty great pillar! We said to each other don't worry we are bound to have a great view of all the goals in the second half but of course Saints failed to score a single additional goal and it ended 4-0.

    We’re 34 on Betfair to win the Cup, if anyone’s interested.

    If my Saints FA Cup/Ajax CL double comes in, I might be retiring a couple of years earlier than planned.

    Agree on the strong side. But my preference would be Salisu and Lyanco as the CB pairing. Tino is training again so maybe he could get on the pitch later on to provide a different type of threat. Adams will probably start with Che up front (both ex-Coventry so will be well up for it). The only concession I can see Ralph making is Small at left back. I might add Smallbone too but he's only just come back to training - maybe a sub appearance later on as well.

    If I still had the physique for football kits, i’d consider investing in one of these…

    I like the sound of that Adams / Che partnership up front.

    He’s definitely worth playing in one position, not sure about both.
