  1. I love Hillsborough, but let's be honest, it's falling apart because of 35+ years of neglect and lack of basic maintenance. Every stand requires significant work to bring it to a basic standard. The one that's least knackered, the south, if you're taller than 5ft 3 you end up with laceration to your knees from the seat Infront of you. If we get an owner who wants to move us to a new stadium then great. As fans, we'd hopefully have some input into the process. We've moved stadiums twice before, I'm sure we'd be fine moving again.
  2. View, posts in the way, facilities, working toilets, running water
  3. I've watch us be a decent side and a poo side, but I don't think I've done too badly watching Wednesday do the following: League cup winners European Football League cup finalists FA Cup Finalists 2x play off wins 1 Automatic promotion Everyone gets a bit touchy about their clubs history, outside of a few established Premier league sides the rest of us are just picking up scraps.
  4. I think there's a need for 2 categories for POTG tickets purely for commercial reasons for the clubs sustainability. There will be some games that just aren't as attractive for people to go to watch so having a lower price point would hopefully help for them matches. In my non commercial head and not knowing the cost of hosting a match I think it's be good to see a pricing strategy like this; Cat A Kop - £25 North - £30 South - £35 Concessions £10 cheaper, u12 ticket £10 in all areas Cat B Kop - £20 North - £25 South - £30 Concessions £10 cheaper, u12 ticket £10 in all areas. Adult season tickets could then and still be good value Vs buying a game at a time: Kop - £350 North - £460 South - £570
  5. SWFC umbrella with each ticket purchased.
  6. It's finally time for Dani to join us from Real Mallorca.
  7. 11 people have clearly sold their Palaces / Houses in order to provide the proof of funds required
  8. The youth players who were close to being part of the first team are already playing and being run into the ground. Quite a few are out with long term injuries. We're going to need players, who they are and how we get them through the door will depend on the sale of the club and the EFL.
  9. The question will Will Still still be in charge of Southampton has been answered. Sacked today.
  10. Isn't it the last year of their parachute payments? They're probably going to have to sell players whatever happens. Shame.
  11. Any points we pick up this season are a surprise. Manager and players are giving everything. It'd be nice if in January were able to pick up a couple of loan or free agent signings just to boost squad depth. We don't want to end up with any serious long term injuries to players.
  12. The bits that you can see are, but there's issues due to lack of maintenance in the south stand as well.
  13. Yes, the stand is built onto the hill, if you removed it you'd need to re engineer the whole stand, it'd be a massive job. Probably be as easy to start again!
  14. The NW corner doesn't have enough space for a hotel etc and it probably wouldn't get planning approval. Removing "the hill" would mean rebuilding the kop. A refresh of Hillsborough should take place but only as a stop gap until a new stadium is built to replace it.
  15. Everything about us is currently 30 years behind the majority of championship and premier league clubs. The stadium and the facilities for fans, training ground, shop, website are all like stepping into a time warp. There's a charm to traditional grounds but Hillsborough is pushing it. If we end up with a billionaire owner, I'd hope there would be a plan for major redevelopment of Hillsborough or a move to a new stadium and new training facilities.
