    I think I might pop down there next week. Wonder what sort of crowd will turn up? Good ticket pricing though.

    I bought 7 tickets earlier for £15, I can't believe the club are making us pay such extortionate prices. It is absolutely disgusting.

    Highlights here show dominant Saints though Blackburn did cause some excitement with their long balls.

    Looked like they played well but couldn't take their chances....

    .... Preparation for first team step up is spot on :)

    Good build up play but not clinical enough. Where have we seen that before?

    picked up a couple of tickets today for the game. Would be good to give them a good backing.

    Was planning to go, but just found out I'm working. Shame. Would be good to get a decent sized crowd!!

    8 blocks (most of the Itchen) are now full, or have limited availablity ... very good I think!

    The club will keep opening blocks as demand dictated.

    Looks like we'll be able to fill the whole of the Itchen including some of the corners, which would make for an attendance of over 10,000? Will look good on the Sky cameras

    Looks like just under a 1/3 of the stadium has sold at the moment. Could be a really good turn out by the looks of it.

    Would be excellent.

    Worth noting that a reasonable number of the Saints team have played in front of larger crowds before, plus on TV (e.g. Reed, Targett...) but not sure hwo many of the Blackburn players will have done?

    How much is the ticket? I presume not much. If I was there, I'd go to this kind of match. Looking at the lineup form the first leg, I see a huge potential there. This might be like United's team that won FA youth cup in '92, which among others featured Beckham, Giggs, Butt, Neville...

    I meant on a slightly smaller scale. I didn't really think that our group of lads will go on to become one of the best club teams in history of football. :D

    perhaps not quite in that league, but it says a lot about us a Saints fans that it looks like we are going to have anywhere upto 10,000 going to see this game. Would be great if we can break the record attendance for an U21 game which is 10,405.
