    Well my Credit Card pending to Southampton FC is now taken and showing on my account, so no last minute dramas there.

    Seen on SW that the postman is delivering tickets already. Good luck all over the next few days.

    Well, I've got an email confirmation, Saints AC says I've got them and the money's gone ...
    ... now all they have to do is get them to me by Saturday

    I still remember the JPT when the turnstiles wouldn't accept our tickets so the stewards sent us to a big queue at the ticket office where they gave us new tickets
    When we got to our seats (1 min before KO) there were other people with the same tickets so we all stood for the game and shared the space
    :eek: :headbang: then <hug> & eventually :1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down:

    Tickets have arrived!! 'Advanced Mail, first class'. Didn't know there was such a thing.

    It used to be called 'Mail'. Then it became 'First Class Mail', and now it's "Advanced Mail, first class". We're paying more for the same level of service. Bring back National Service, I say. (Using my alter ego of Sir Herbert Gussett, Brigadier, retired)

    It may be rather like most post-project reviews, where the auditors come in to bayonet the wounded, but the club may (eventually) notice that there are new memberships, with distinctly northern addresses. That doesn't preclude them from being genuine Saints fans, but it may raise a few red flags. Eventually.

    Claims of 'thousands' of Leeds fans buying tickets in our end. I've seen the same photo of an email being shown. If it was that many there would be different photos from them. I'm calling bullshit.

    To be fair, I’ve seen (probably) the same photo from a Saints fan claiming to have bought tickets in the Leeds end. I’m sure it’s all done in the name of fun and japes.


    Probably.

    Did your tickets have to be signed for, or were they simply posted through your door? My daughter has organised tickets for herself and me, but she will be at work, so unable to sign for anything, which might delay arrival. Paranoid? Moi?

    If so, it's worth passing this information to the club, so that they can investigate, and possibly cancel this ticket.
    Assuming, of course, that 'Some matey' is a Leeds fan...

    There'll be a few as there always is at these sorts of games but no chance it's a huge amount.

    There are few things worse in life than football 'fans' on social media.
