My recollection as per @M18CTID was that they moaned like fuck, then were given the full allocation and didn't shift them anyway.They sold it out that is why they made the complaint. They only got 1,300 and sold the lot in quick time due to their FA Cup final.
No they didn't. And I think the complaint actually went in before they started selling the tickets. The FA Cup final the following week was almost certainly a contributing factor as well in them not selling out, as presumably many Saints fans were saving their pennies for thatThey sold it out that is why they made the complaint.

Correct. Southampton fans were complaining that they had the right to receive 3000 tickets - the fact they didn't exercise the right to actually buy the tickets went above their heads!No they didn't.

8 showing on the planner now.Sold out
Anywhere near the ground that lets away fans in, noting I will have a 15 year old and a 13 year old with me (my kids, before I get accused of anything)20 year Saints season ticket holder. Funnily enough I don't remember signing up, it was only today when trying to register I got the "you already have an account" message, and reset the password. No recollection of when it was!
Every now and then, single tickets come up, but to all intents it's sold out at this point. If being able to purchase 1 ticket means they're still available, then my
Have to say, I'm a bit perplexed by the reaction of some of you guys. I basically just posted to encourage those not sure if they want to go that it'll be a great atmosphere and great game, and the ticket prices are good. I hope you guys fill up your end. But if you don't.... no stress. We haven't sold all our away tickets for every single game.
Sold out for away and home?Sold out
Pretty sure we’ll sell our allocation, the only reason it hadn’t yet is because different levels of loyalty points can get tickets on different dates, so loads of people have to wait. If they’d been on open sale they’d have been gone very quickly20 year Saints season ticket holder.

They got the Gene Kelly and they sold it out. There was bigger attendance than United at home.Correct. Southampton fans were complaining that they had the right to receive 3000 tickets - the fact they didn't exercise the right to actually buy the tickets went above their heads!
What City should have done was given them tickets for the Gene Kelly stand and said come back when you want the rest. The phone would never have rang and there would not have been an issue
It is sold out as of today, went on open sale on friday.Pretty sure we’ll sell our allocation, the only reason it hadn’t yet is because different levels of loyalty points can get tickets on different dates, so loads of people have to wait.

Standing order pub. Half and half pub, never any problems. A lot of people eating.Anywhere near the ground that lets away fans in, noting I will have a 15 year old and a 13 year old with me (my kids, before I get accused of anything)
Only because by being given the Gene Kelly, there was no need for any segregation. And no, they didn't sell out.They got the Gene Kelly and they sold it out. There was bigger attendance than United at home.
Just like united didn't against city as people saw gaps, however city didn't mention it in their defence and the Soton fans who missed out got compensated according to the ruling. However 19 years later things change on hearsay.Only because by being given the Gene Kelly, there was no need for any segregation. And no, they didn't sell out.
Not hearsay mate - mine is an eyewitness account. I'm still pissing my sides laughing at you claiming they sold ther allocation really quick all because they had to lay out for the FA Cup Final the following week!Just like united didn't against city as people saw gaps, however city didn't mention it in their defence and the Soton fans who missed out got compensated according to the ruling.

It was a planned send of with subsidised coaches a club push to support the boys to get them up for the cup final.Not hearsay mate - mine is an eyewitness account.

And you don't have any proof that it did sell out either. There was plenty of talk at the time from people at the game that they took the piss with that complaint as we could all see that they didn't fill the Gene Kelly. Apart from you for some weird reason.It was a planned send of with subsidised coaches a club push to support the boys to get them up for the cup final.
That was sited in the claim by Soton, they could have filled the 3k, not just the 1,300 which they did.
City's only defence was health and safety, and there was no claim by city that tickets were returned. If they were not returned they were paid for and it sold out.
City had no proof it didn't sell out and neither do you. The figure will be in the first programme if you you don't believe me form 2003/04 .
