Breaking News ! Season Ticket Spotted In Chandlers Ford
Usually in mid July Saints supporters are out in force waiting for the first sighting of the Lesser Striped Saints Season Ticket, but this year due to interminable reasons, even though it is mid August few have been spotted so far, but there is some breaking news.
With the opening fixture already passed and the first home game of the season due in only 3 days time, most Saints supporters would at this moment in time be caressing their season tickets, putting pictures of them up on social media and in some cases holding an exhibition of season tickets throughout the ages in their local village hall.
But this year so far the lesser spotted red & white striped season ticket is nowhere to be seen, Saints ST Spotters have been out in force, both in hallways and driveways throughout the area and also hiding in bushes and looking for the man with the sack who will signal the season has started.
Rumours about why the Season Tickets have not appeared yet abound, Covid 19, problems with migrating from China, even that SFC should never have taken the cheapest quote from that company in Afghanistan.
Whatever the reason they just haven't appeared yet.
But wait Breaking News ! One has been spotted in Chandlers Ford and a picture has been posted, a collective sigh of relief can now be uttered in the SO postcodes, binoculars can be put down and flasks of tea and ham sandwiches consumed, the first Season Ticket of the season has arrived and it is sure to be followed by a whole flock of them, after all season tickets are like buses, you wait hours for one and then a dozen come at once.
Stop Press ! Just when you thought it could not get any better rumours are emerging, albeit ones that have not yet been substantiated that someone has answered the phone in the ticket office.
What to read next:
Stoke AwaydazeOur visit to Stoke City is on Boxing Day evening, with kick-off at 8pm, having been put back by our very good friends at Sky Sports.
Preston AwaydazeOur visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over DerbyThe game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
Leeds drawn at home to Harrogate in the FA CupTonight’s draw for the third round of the FA Cup threw up several local derbies, and the most enticing of all must be our all-Yorkshire clash with Harrogate Town, with the two clubs being only 15 miles apart.
Disappointing Leeds go down at BlackburnOur defeat to Blackburn Rovers has caused plenty of moaning on social media, while Daniel Farke has blamed our hectic fixture schedule. But it was a shame the team picked the game with our biggest travelling support of the season to serve up one of their worst away performances.
Blackburn AwaydazeThis season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victoryLeeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
