Arsenal And West Ham Games Sold Out
Saturday, 28th Jan 2017 10:47

Wembley fever has started to hit Southampton fans with tickets flying out of the door for the next two home games.

This afternoons game against Arsenal in the FA Cup has now sold out with the last few remaining tickets snapped up.

It has been joined by next weeks Premier League fixture against West Ham United although as that is a league game there may be tickets available via the ticket exchange where season ticket holders who cannot attend can put their seats up for resale.

It is amazing what a couple of wins can do for the enthusiasm, after all it was just over a week ago that St Mary's was less than half full for the visit of Norwich City in the FA Cup, back then there was a real feeling of disillusionment in the fan base, now the League cup Final has brought back the feelgood factor to Saints supporters and this can only be a good thing.

Saintcole7 added 11:23 - Jan 28 Nick, as you mentioned in your earlier article this could help bring up your purchase record to qualify quicker for a Wembley ticket, as we get 31k tickets, which is about St Mary's full of home supporters do you know how many season ticket holders we now have? Will also be interesting if any more home games go on sale next week prior to the Wembley tickets?

Bettwsresident added 11:24 - Jan 28 or rather saints members are trying to get over the 5 home game threshold that will allow them to purchase cup final tickets. I don't have a chance, not member and only 3 home games and 4 away games so am trying to find the Â£300 required to buy one of the seats on ticket exchange.

the_saint added 11:48 - Jan 28 Saintcole7 somebody told me we had 23000 season ticket holders this season all of which will get a ticket which leaves just over 8000 for members, I personally think they should make the league cup a fans cup and give us 45000 each

Saintcole7 added 11:54 - Jan 28 Carroll, thanks for the reply, I was under the impression that historically this cup final was as you described unlike the FA Cup which is very limited to "real"fans attending as it's mainly corporates, so I was surprised by the 31k figure.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
