Southampton tickets selling well

[Rupert]

If you are in the lower riverside stand near the hammyend your view is seriously obstructed by the subs warming up very difficult to see anything

Yeah, like the subs are warming up for the entire 90 minutes.

I sat there against Middlesbrough the subs were up in that corner most of the game and when you have Sander Berge standing in front of you you can't see a thing .

What a load of tosh. "Most of the game?" Nonsense. That suggests the subs were warming up for over 45 minutes of the game. Get a grip.

He's right. I'm a Hammy End season ticket holder and I sat in the corner of the lower Riverside for a cup match. The subs constantly obstruct the view of people sitting in that area. When they're not stretching and warming up they're chatting to each other. I would never choose to sit there again.

Where are they supposed to to warm up?, maybe in Bishops Park.

I was merely pointing out a fact. Very obviously they are going to warm up on the touchline. I genuinely don't know why my post generated a sarcastic response. I was simply pointing out my experience so others would be aware.

Ok maybe the Bishops park was a bit unnecessary.

Yes, it is a long walk back from there and they would need to warm up again.

The OP was correct, looks like the sales have picked up, hopefully it'll sell out.

Ray Rock's sarcastic title for his post may prove to be correct "ticket's selling well", but I fear he will take no pleasure if he turns out to have been right.

Seats all over the place unsold completely dropped the ball Fulham in the biggest game of the season. What did I expect they can't even get Silva to sign an extension complete amateur hour.

Blah Blah Blah. You really are a boring individual

Why does it matter so much to you? Brentford don't get a cut of the ticket sales.

[RAY Rock]

It matters because the ground should be a sell out with the next generation of Fulham fans watching. It is the biggest game of the season and it is going to look empty on tv the kids tickets are reasonable but £ 30- £40 for a adult is ridiculous in my opinion especially when it is a Sunday at 12.00.

Not a Brentford fan just think Fulham are taking the hardcore  fans for mugs

The attendance tomorrow will be more than the capacity of Legoland Stadium. No ambition when they built that ground.

What a WUM. Why he even bothers on here I've no idea. Just sod off to your Hounslow bus stop.

I'll bite -

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe just maybe Silva doesn't want to sign a new contract and/or that maybe he wants to see what other offers are out there first.
The Club cannot force him to sign - have you ever been in contract negotiations. It takes two to tango and the proverbial horse can be led to water but you cannot make it drink

In other words FFS give it a rest

Looking at the seating map it is very empty other than Riverside and Southampton, they were asking for more tickets but not sure what the club gave

[SP]

I had a look at their forum & I think we stipulated they pay in full for extra tickets in the Putney End. The Saints are never going to accept that financial risk.

Had to laugh (or cry) at their accurate assessment that our ground is probably the easiest for an away fan to buy tickets in home areas.

Fair play to their fans aiming to get to the Eight Bells by 10am.

Not sure when you looked but the JH is almost sold aside from the very ends and I would estimate HE 60% sold. I would guess we are looking at 20k+ tomorrow. Personally I think a noon ko on a Sunday is the biggest issue for many not an extra £5 on a ticket

[Ludlow Richard]

Basically the cost of a cup ticket is agreed between the two clubs. The away team take a cut of the proceeds, so they are clearly interested in making sure the ticket cost is high. In a nutshell the ticket cost is not solely a FFC decision.

It is of course easy to blame the club for just about anything. Subs warming up blocking my view for 90 minutes? Blame the club. Ticket prices too high? Knock the club. Haven't sold out our away allocation? Blame the club. Silva hasn't signed a contract? Blame the club (though perhaps a basic knowledge of employment law would help here: you can't force someone to sign a contract, it's not the 19th century). And so on.

You cant force someone, that's right, but you can offload and get rid because of

Agree RE KO time, I ain't going as I would need to be on the road pretty early.

That's the life of someone with a 5 year old, up early, clubs here and there. Fulham for me is pretty much a 2.5 hour each way journey by public transport, early Sunday games are also a bit of a lottery on trains.
