Right, this one is a long way off, but it was mentioned a couple of times yesterday and I thought I’d float it early so that people can get prepared and ticketed for the event.
Is there any interest in an inaugural Sotonians away day drinks event up in Liverpool?
Yes, I know I’ll be accused of self-serving suggestions here, but if we’re going to do an away day piss-up, Liverpool is the one to do for all sorts of reasons. It’s only a two hour train ride for the Londoners, ditto for Sfcsim in deepest darkest Cumbria. Plus, the fact that two of us already live here means we’ll probably be able to put on a good pub crawl. I’m not averse to throwing a fuck-off house party if people would prefer that.
Think you’re taking your chances taking a nipper that young to a game. My bro took his toddler to the game yesterday, and although he was surprisingly alright, I wouldn’t recommend it if you fancy enjoying the game.
I am getting pestered all over the place. Holly wants to go (she will be the easiest), then Olivia wants to go, but I want to get the boy into Saints early on… He starts nursery next week!
I’m keen to do Liverpool away (never been) but not sure I can make it work this season. Despite getting all excited about the prospect when it was mentioned, I hadn’t logged beyond September’s fixtures in my brain and didn’t realise it’s coming up so soon.
Hmm. Simply spent too much in the last couple of months and going on holiday next week too! D’oh.
If I can’t go I’ll be able to offer my season ticket number to someone in need, so we’ll see. Should have enough aways on there by now to get in on the first allocation.
I won’t be encouraging a young Clark, but might convince his dad that it’s worth the trip. I know quite few STHs now, so we should be okay for tickets.
I will not be doing this game as it is on a Sunday (only just noticed this). It is also on sky, so as I can only go to a few games, best go to the ones that are not on sky or a Sunday, or both!
So will be going to the home game against Leicester the week earlier instead.
Funnily enough, this is one of the reasons I reckon the Liverpool game is feasible. Some of the requirements for away tickets this season have been insane. Perhaps a televised match will convince more people to sit at home instead, as this post proves. I think the distance from Southampton may also be a factor.
Pap, good to catch up today. Sadly I cant make this one. Partly because the unemployment budget wont stretch to it, but am booked anyway. Gutted to miss it, sink a few for me.
