Southampton and 'fans' selling tickets on ebay

[choggy]

...I don't get it.

Here we are at the end of best season we've had in over 10 years, beating Man U, Brum, West Brom, Sunderland etc 3 years after we looked like swapping places with Canvey Island and our last game is a bank holiday trip to the south coast to a cracking ground against a cracking team in a cracking city and yet now that we are down people don't want to know.

What's wrong with you? So what if we're down, it's been one hell of a season and in 30 years time we're going to tell our kids and grandkids about the day we beat the premier league champions.

To the people trying to flog their tickets...good, **** off. We know who you are, you're the moaning gits who get on the team's back rather than support them. Go support the Spammers and maybe next season we'll have 6000-odd genuine fans at RH.

Me, I'm going down with a couple of mates, we're going for a party atmosphere at Soton and a chance to say to the team 'thank you' for this season and then to get bladdered on a bank holiday sunday by the south coast.

If they are being sold to genuine fans who couldn't get their hands on a ticket for whatever reason i'm really pleased. The people selling them (unless there is a genuine reason) are all tossers. And "But we're relegated" is not a genuine reason.

fantastic thread!! i love you gloryhunters.com

I just don't understand the mentality of some people.
As I've put on certain people's reputation, what did they expect, another 3rd successive promotion? Get f**king real!

Bye bye, hope you enjoy Upton Park once more! Southend til I die!

Just checked E-Bay no tickets are being sold on there. EBay do have very strict policies regarding the sale of Football tickets so hopefully they have been removed.

Before you start, ever thought some of us might have families who have not seen much of us over the last 6 months or God forbid other hobbies? I know STHs who are going to watch Essex at cricket instead of SUFC.

Just because people choose not to go does not make them Spammers or Chelsea fans.

No, fair enough, but the fact we're down shouldn't change the desire to go to St Marys. The away end should be a mass of blue, together in one voice, stating the fact WE WILL BE BACK, maybe not next year or even 2009 but WE WILL BE BACK!

If another commitment hadn't come up for Saturday night, I would have been coming down (much to the annoyance of my Mrs and daughter) and us now being relegated would not for one second have put me off!

I'm still going, but wish I knew which SUFC will turn up,if it's going throught the motions I certainly have other things to do.

I think we've all thought that since mid-September when planning away games to attend to be honest!

Spot on. Have only missed 2 league games this season but personally if it had not been for the fact I hadn't done the ground I would be going to watch Essex instead (a team that can actually win!). I can easily understand if anyone who has tickets want to get a refund for what has turned out to be a meaningless fixture. There is more to life than SUFC

Maybe - but why fork out for the tickets in the first place.

Too flipping right. I think even when we bought our tickets we were well aware that we would most likely be relegated by then. It was always about being at the last game of the season which we knew would most likely be to wave the players into league one. Not once did we contemplate not going if there was the possibility of already being relegated. To be honest I am happier going there knowing we are already down as it gives everyone a chance to have a proper party and not worry about the results and I am sure most people that bought there tickets months ago feel exactly the same.

It's like the "fans" that left in droves 10 minutes before then end of the Luton game.
It's like the old saying that it's in times of trouble that you know who your real friends are. In the same way it's when you get relegated a club knows who it's real supporters are.
Unfortunately some "supporters" have shown their true colours this week and it isn't blue

Yeah, coz staying to clap the players off is what makes you a ''real'' fan!

Unless it's tinged with claret, there's irony in there too.........

And b4 u say anything............yes i did stay till the end.

It's a shame the players don't always show the same dedication that most of the fans show match-in match-out , then I am sure more people would stay in the ground until the final whistle. Some players don't appear to turn up sometimes.

You seem to be more obsessed with West ham than anyone else!!!
