Saints Stuff

I think I was visiting London that day to watch a football match.

 

Prices have been set for the play off 2nd leg. Most fall in the £25-£35 range which is reasonable.

 

Assume it will be a sellout! Hope it goes better than the last time I went to a home playoff game!

I didn't think they would just add this game on for free for season ticket holders, but a discount would have been nice.

 

I hope it gets to general sale, I'm not paying extra for a membership. The utter cheek of it.

 

Hope we only give 2k away tickets unless the other club are willing to match a higher number.

 

On this day 13 years ago we secured our return to the Championship!

 

Just noticed that safe standing will be in affect for the home leg of the playoffs in blocks 40-43

 

Was anyone in a safe standing space on Saturday?

Doesn't look like they're doing the huge installation and changes it was made out to be and instead literally installing a rail Infront of existing seats.

From pictures I've seen and from other end of ground the rail looks quite low too which might not be great for taller people.

 

Got my ticket. Should be a great atmosphere. Friday night under the lights. COYR!

 

I wasn't, but my dad had a wander over after arriving in the ground as he wanted to be nosy. It's literally just a rail in front of the existing seats, as you say. He sat down on one of the seats and the back of his head would be banging against the rail behind him - he's 5ft10in for what it's worth.

 

Well done the club. Surprised me here.

 

Got my Semi Final tickets. So just the Wembley ones to get later

 

Can I only buy my seat at this point? Was thinking of going over the Northam to have a look at these rails.

 

So members get a go before season ticket holders can purchase in other parts of the ground?

 

I sit (stand) in The Northam, and the rails are basically steel (?) pipes, quite wide diameter, that you can lean on. They should install cup holders, so we have somewhere to put our Bovril. In terms of height, I'm 5' 10" (at least I was, before I got old) and the bars were an OK height for me. When I sat down in my seat, I didn't bang my head on the rails behind me, but if you stretch out before going to sleep, they might get in the way.

Blake Antrobus sounds like a hero from a 1970s American action series…
