22-28.

It’s not normally stated and, as you’ve said, not many people will want to stand as away supporters. They’re trying to make a point here I think, which will probably fall flat. They’ve provided safe standing now at Southampton for the majority of away fans, so have given a small block to cater for the minority who can’t or don’t want to stand. Most people will avoid buying in that area, but if/when they are the only seats left, obviously anyone wanting a ticket will buy in there, who may well then stand up. So it could create a situation of our fans in that block arguing between themselves about sitting/standing, with the stewards looking on with complete disinterest and it causing a problem rather than being the intended solution.

Roughly 4 almost full blocks and 3 half full still available out of the original 7, which are all safe standing. One block with about 70 seats available which states no standing.

I agree that results don’t matter at all but I think performance does massively at this stage. Anyone who watched that yesterday saw very worrying signs. It looked like the first day of pre-season training with a new manager, not the last pre-season friendly a week before the new season.

Yes you’re right. Just meaning that the time of kick off on the days could change, but I should probably have left it until time is confirmed. The Amazon Boxing Day games last season had games kicking off from 12.30pm -8pm.

Amazon have 2 Leicester games live in December with KO time to be announced. One is an evening game anyway and the other Liverpool away on Boxing Day.

There are 5 blocks behind the goal. 2 are almost sold out and one is almost untouched, with approximately 200 seats available. 2 blocks are greyed out, but presumably not been opened yet as they are on either end.

I know things are getting desperate, but if we get Compo in from Last Of The Summer wine then training will look like this. 🤷‍♂️

A thread titled ‘Things never to tell the ticket office’ would possibly be a good idea.

He has a footballing version of ‘The yips’ right now. Totally unplayable for weeks, whilst he’s declined further, and how the manager hasn’t seen that is baffling.

Agreed. Unplayable at the moment and everyone apart from his fan club can see that.

True, but I think the two seasons are linked. Last season caused so much anger and anxiety that it doesn’t take much to re-live those feelings. Even when things were going as well as they could this season, somewhere in the back of my mind there was a dark space of doubt because of what previously happened. Then the last couple of months have been horrendous, in many ways, and it somehow feels just as bad being top of the league right now, as it did being relegated. Strange.

It looked horrendous live. I’ve still only seen it live and am sure it was totally off his head unless I’m mistaken, but the BBC report said it came off his shoulder. That’s how bad it was. He has the uncanny ability of making the ball look like a training reactaball. One of those misshapen balls used in sports training for hand-eye coordination, where the ball comes off any surface in an unnatural, unpredictable way which defies logic. I’ve never been in the ‘Hammer Daka’ club and always thought despite his weaknesses he’s had something to offer, but after that Leeds miss he’s declined further and with so few games left and so much at stake, to me he seems unplayable right now.

Yes I noticed that too. Cov v Leeds.
