Southampton matchday photos

[floodbuster]

I said I'd post the photos my friend took before the Southampton v Arsenal match.

These are just the photos she took with her phone the rest are on the camera.

As you can see from her proximity Southampton fc are very accommodating (they are the only club that will do this if approached beforehand). She said she got autographs and photos from every player other than Pelle (came out a side door with Koeman from a meeting) and Mane because he was running late (certainly didn't affect his goalscoring ).

Certainly living up to the club of the people.

What did she ask of them?

She emailed the club if she could meet the players before the match as she was going to be in the country, she read you could do that on the Australians supporters fb page comments.

That's pretty sweet.

It's amazing. Only works for the smaller clubs though.

Could you imagine the inundation of emails a club like Liverpool or United would get from tourists flying in to watch a game and wanting to meet the players. It would be impossible.

Sucks though as that would be awesome.

You can do it at Arsenal!

Will cost you a minimum of £3,000 to do so though.

Ah ok... haha. Maybe we do it too and charge people. Cool that Southampton do it at no charge.

I'm pretty sure SM had a similar experience with Hull?

I'm sure Daniel Levy would charge you an arm and a leg even just getting an email back from the club! His treat our fans with utter contempt sometimes. The fact that we are not members but Clients shows the mans true colours!

I was thinking that too, be good promotion if smaller clubs did it.

Yeah I did. But I was very lucky I knew someone involved with the club. Got a shirt signed by the match day squad for a game, and met a couple of the players.

Just thinking, maybe a moderator could change the tread name to 'photos of your games' or something like that, then we can keep this thread as one for everyone here to update with pictures after travelling and seeing a game?

Has the chairman of Spurs ever said thank you for your concern in our club like Arsenal?

Hull paid him !

My contact at the club was astonished. He presumed I was an ex-pat from Hull based on my emails to him - thought I was much older as well. When he learned I was a season card holder at 22 and had travelled over for two months to watch he was basically knocked over. Told me if I ever came back he'd get me a free season pass.
