Saints Subsidise January Trip To Norwich City

Twenty's Plenty is the slogan of the campaign run by the Football Supporters Federation, but no one seems to have told Norwich City who are charging £45 for Saints fans.

Saints are relieving the financial burden over the New Year period on their travelling supporters by not only greatly susidising the the tickets for the trip to West Ham United on Bank Holiday Monday 30th December. But following suit a few days later for the long trip to Norwich City

You can understand in some respects why West Ham could charge £45 for a ticket, after all they are in London and its par for the course, but how Norwich can justify £45 for a fixture that is categorised as grade C is beyond me, luckily we are not an A game otherwise we would be paying £60

So instead of the normal adult price of £45 , Saints are going to pay half of that themselves meaning that the Saints fans will pay £22.50, that is far nearer a reasonable price to pay for a game of this nature.

Concessions will also be subsidised

£17.50 for over-65s (usually £35)
£12.50 for students (usually £25)
£7.50 for under-16s (usually £15)

Saints will receive a full allocation of 2,575 tickets and now there is no real excuse not to go at this price.

Tickets will go on sale with the following criteria:

Monday 30th November (9am) Season Ticket holders who have attended at least three domestic away games from the 2015/16 season

Wednesday 2nd December (9am) Season Ticket holders who have attended at least two domestic away games from the 2015/16 season

Thursday 3rd December (9am) Season Ticket holders who have attended at least one domestic away game from the 2015/16 season

Friday 4th December (9am) Season Ticket holders

Monday 7th December (9am) Official Members

Tuesday 8th December (9am) General sale

These are exactly the same times as for the tickets for West Ham United so it is bound to be busy when sales open for each respective category.

Southampton V Stoke City The Preview
Saints go into the last two games of the season with their hopes of automatic promotion ended, even the hope of finishing 3rd is only a point away from being ended, but they do have something to play for and that is getting back the togetherness, character & fight Russell Martin has recently be moaned.

No Togetherness No Character No Fight
Not my words, but those of Southampton manager Russell Martin, who should ask himself the question why two months ago we had all those attributes and now we don't !

Southampton At Leicester The Debacle
The big question is how can a side that was so tight at the back, so clinical up front and who could pass the ball around almost with their eyes closed, become the disorganised rabble that they were at the Leicester City this evening.
