Stadium Update Meeting 19:28 - Apr 13 with 11449 views | BLEEDRED | A small number of fans attended a meeting before today's game. It was very informative with a few surprises. 1- 9000 safe standing places will installed The whole of the Northam will be safe standing, some of the Chapel and some in the away end 2- in the next couple of weeks, a special deal will be announced (Cheaper tickets?) for the Northam 3 Prices in other areas may rise 4-The club are looking to build a pub open 7 days a week They are tied into Kingfisher beer for 1 more season, but hope to get the beer prices down to £4/£4.50 a pint 5- Most of the parachute payment went on loan repayments (something to do with how the contracts were set up) 6- if we don't get promoted, many players have said they will leave (no names!!) 7-If the club can get the season tickets up to 24000 for a few seasons they would look at the possibility of expanding the ground 8-The players notice that the noise from home fans is not that good compared to the support they get from Saints fans away 9-There was more but can't remember!!! | | | | |

A lot of them still live with parents and have quite a bit of disposable income. You can tell just by looking at them that they wouldn't have the sense to know how to look after themselves if they had to. It's those in their 30's and upwards who have moved out of their parents' homes who are struggling financially. |
Saints advisory panel have been badgering the new ceo about northam being home fans only. He and they reckon they can create the euro fan bobbins of waving flags and jumping up and down. Weve seen this season that it’s made no difference with 15 home wins. The only part of this I would agree with his making the upper parts of the northam safe standing. This is common sense as most stand and the local council safety certificate would actually be valid. | | | |

We were commenting on this the other game and it does seem like we've weirdly picked up a load of private school boys and tarquins in their 20s. F*ck knows where they've come from because when i was growing up there was only one private school i knew of in the city and the people that went there were bussed in from outside. | | | |

Stadium Update Meeting on 15:13 - Apr 16 by PatfromPoole | Out of interest, and I should add I had absolutely zilch interest in attending this, how did the Club decide who could attend this? The e-mail sent out by the Club mentioned the word “select” which had me sceptical to put it mildly. |
Did you not get a Saints ‘Puma’ t-shirt Pat? All the Social Media types got one I thought?!?! They were on the list of attendees [Post edited 18 Apr 17:58]

Stadium Update Meeting on 13:28 - Apr 18 by Bridders2 | Good news. You can't go to sleep if you're standing, so will attract younger fans who want to make some noise.And the the away fans in the darkest, dingiest corner of the ground, where even the TV cameras can't see them! |
That’s a thought….say the Bantz Brigade pack the Northam Kop, how they gonna roll around like bellends and do the ‘limbs’ scenes and fake vids when there will be a barrier in front of them? God forbid, if they are plugged in to the barrier usb ports getting a charge it could be a serious meltdown…. | |

I used to enjoy your post match views on Saints TV. You’re probably our most famous social media fan | |

My favourite post match interviewee was Mike from Thornhill. Shame most of his interviews were gatecrashed by a couple of well dressed utter pricks. | | | |
