A winning start to the season plus a club record signing, should equal a sell out for the opening home game of the season against Sunderland on Saturday.

Surprisingly as we head into the final days before the game the home fixture against Sunderland is far from sold out, around 3,000 tickets in the home areas of the ground remained available for sale as of 9am on Monday morning, although in fairness around 900 of these are in block 43 and have just gone on sale as Sunderland seem to have declined to take the full allocation of 3,200.

However ticket sales should start to pick up drastically after the weekend Saints have just had, not only winning an opening day Premier League fixture for the first time since 1999 and a 1-0 win at Coventry City, but with the news that the club transfer record has once again been broken with the arrival of Pablo Osvaldo from Roma for around £15 million.

So if Saints fans can have no excuses for not snapping up these last tickets over the next couple of days with not only the home debut of around £35 million of new talent, but the chance to continue the good start to the season and perhaps even find ourself in the top four come 5pm Saturday evening, given that of the teams with maximum points on the opening day, all of the big guns play after Saints, we could even find ourselves top of the Premier League if only for a short while.

So get on down to St Mary's sooner than later and buy your tickets for this one, it will sell out, the only question now is how quickly.
