Lanterne Rouge Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Fair enough that, you couldn`t complain that`s for sure. They must be a bit worried about attendances though to do it. Who have they got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hopefully we do the same in 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all over supply and demand. Although its European football, playing Sheva is the same as us playing a 1st round league cup game at home against a L2 side (say Stevenage) - not because of how good Sheva are, but because of the relative attraction. We'd get a low attendance, they'd get a low attendance for that. Sparta Prague, although a 'name' are not big enough to be attractive as well. So the game is Inter, and they'd sell that out at normal (lower) match day prices. We priced the Newcastle tickets and they sold. They have to price their tickets at this level or you're asking for a 1/4 full St Marys for the non Inter games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree with the that, it's still a major European competition no matter who they are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I`ve got a mate who`s a Saints STH and she is really excited about being in Europe for the first time in her life and doesn`t really care who they`re playing. I`d like to think we`d be the same under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory but the practice is somewhat different. Thinking of similar sized clubs, Hull didn't sell out when they played in Europe in 2014. Birmingham, other than the most attractive game (Bruges) struggled in 2012 - Maribor game for example was 2/3 full despite the tickets being £7.50 or £15. There were even 10,000 unsold seats for Man City vs Juventus recently. This is the pricing they have to do, or end up with home advantage being anything but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 For Europa League read Johnstone Paint. Early rounds with little interest but picks up well toward the end of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think the stadium would sell out if they didn't do a deal? These are fans who are watching Premier League football week in, week out. Plus Southampton are making huge amounts of money from the new TV deal, so they can afford to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because though they are extremely over priced, I know the Arsenal ST include the first 7 home games in cup competitions, European and domestic which is decent- though doesn't justify the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
