Southampton (H) | EFL Cup 4th Round | Pre-Match Thread

I’d like to see us put out a young side.

Was expecting a bigger crowd to be honest - 50,000 when we played Wolves 2 seasons ago at the same stage, albeit with 6000 or so Wolves fans. 41,000 when we played Palace at the same stage in 2015 with a couple of thousand away fans. Then again, is it half-term this week or was that last week? I guess if it's not then that's a factor because for those other 2 games I think it was

Some schools have 2 weeks half-term now (this week and last week) and a week less in summer. That complicates things re the attendance as it's more likely families will go away on holiday during that time.

If Southampton bring more than 500 i'll be amazed

It’s possible that we score more goals than they bring fans!

There were 16 blocks on sale this morning , that's now down to 8, about 250 seats in total.They will surely open up a section of the third their.

From my experience when a third tier appears on the planner two thirds of the tickets have already gone.

I think they are open anyway - arent season ticket holders sat in there usual seats?

 

[wattle]

absolutely, but basically grumpiness increases with age doesn’t it, on average? Young fans moan a lot less whether it’s ‘79, ‘89 or 2019, regardless of the performances on t’pitch

Absolutely right. I'm a right miserable cnut now :))))
