Charles/Edwards and the rest...
at 18:56 23 Feb 2025

Reading about Gorenbach - seems like he's a well rated young player - more of a No.10 than a traditional m/f and unfortunately we have players who can do that, but he wouldn't get a game anyway because with the exception of Dibling our coaches seem to always favour a poor quality experienced player than a promising talented one. What drives me nuts is the failure to 'blood' young players who then go on to greater things...
We started the last two games with a back three consisting of two full back and a CB. Yet out on loan we have Ronnie Edwards - a player I've followed since he was first tipped for greatness a few years ago, and Shea Charles - a good m/f who has arguably played his best games for Saints at CB. Both of these players are performing brilliantly (last game I saw Edwards got a rating of 7.9/10) and yet we play players out of position instead of using/recalling them.
So many have slipped through our fingers (Charly Alcarez anyone?) over the years and it feels like there is some sort of collective hubris in the coaching staff at Southampton - we no longer seem to be able to even assess a good player. I think the same thing has happened with ABK, Kevin Danso and many others over the years. Will Ballard EVER get a game, for example - he can't be worse than what we have?!

Refunds policy
at 19:44 27 Jan 2023

Don’t get to many home games these days as I live in Hertfordshire, but as a treat I got some Saints Bar tickets for the Leicester game for 2 x adults, 1 OAP and 4 kids. We’re coming from Somerset and Herts - so a bit of a family gathering.
One of the kids (who has a health issue) was told “no travelling” by the doc, so I told the club within 24 hours of purchase. Answer: “Sorry, we don’t do refunds”.
Two days on, the KO time gets moved and now only 2 of the original party of 7 can make it…So I called again: no refund and they won’t even transfer the tickets to another game later in the season.
£700 down the drain.
The clubs own terms state that they have the discretion to refund or transfer tickets - they just chose to not to do so.
Should I be surprised? Is this normal treatment towards fans?
