The weather forecast looks good for Saturday/Sunday, and there's a hint of optimism for Town to surprise us in our last Premier league match until.... Looking forward to this.

Lee Probert to referee our last PL game... Funnily enough he was the ref when we played Southampton away last season & missed Charlie Austins assault on Lössl.

They will be on the beach, some of our players will know they won't be playing for us again if they didnt already, could be a bit of a snoozefest. Got to give their manager some credit, he turned round a team that was hovering around the dropzone for some time to one that was safe with 4 games to go.

I've just booked my ticket. I've always bought my tickets through the ticket office previously, but this time it was through Ticketmaster, so I hope it'll be OK.
It seems that Saints were truly awful in their last game, so I'm hoping that Town will get at least a point.
I live locally, so it'll be a nice short trip for me.
If anyone knows how many Town fans will be there, please advise. Ticketmaster can't seem to work that out....

Selling just one block 46, so suspect there might be 500 or so. I expect Saints to be filling up the empty blocks with locals (free or discounted kids, clubs & family) as Leicester did at the KP to our right. Its a dead rubber all round and most said their farewells on Sunday & glad to see the back of this season.

I've just checked and there is block 47/48 on sale as well. My tickets are in block 45 so, as far as I can see, we've got the same blocks that we had there last year.

I arranged a box at the start of the season to celebrate us retaining our position in the Premiership I think it’s in the Town end but going with some Saints Fans as well.

Is there a preferred pub for pre-game drinks? My daughter is coming with me and insisting on wearing a blue wig, so I think we should be hanging around with the Millbridge fancy dress crew, otherwise it might look a bit odd...

Parking near St Mary's isn't too easy to find. If you can travel by train to the match, you can get free buses from the central station (perversely to the West of the centre) to the ground, which is on the eastern side, close to the River Itchen. If I drive in, I tend to park some way from the ground. I suggest the free parking in the streets on the southern side of Lodge Road. Try Earls Road, on which there is the excellent Guide Dog pub. This is a drinking pub that won't favour Town fans in colours, but I can testify that you'll get good natured friendly banter if you act sensibly. Good beer. Walk down the road to Bevois Valley Road and turn right. You will soon see The Rockstone on your right. See details on the link: www.awaygames.co.uk/away-pubs/southampton-away/It seems to welcome away fans. You can then get to the ground by a short retrace and then head East (sorry about the directions, but I'm a geographer!) along Mount Pleasant Road. You will cross the London railway line. Then turn right down Radcliffe Road and follow the path down alongside the railway line till in emerges on Northam Road. This is the main road East out of the city. Cross it carefully (!) and walk down Britannia Road to the ground. The away end is at the corner you reach first. Allow (without pub stops) some 15-20 minutes for the walk. I hope that helps.

we're not likely to sell our full allocation of 1720 then ? Hmm, all those (I've followed Town for 40 years etc..Priority 1's...?) deserted the sinking (sunk) ship.

I’m priority piece of shit on Sean Jarvis’ shoe because I missed a season, but I’ll be there, looking like a pillock. Expect a 14th consecutive away nil. My fault. Sorry.

Last season ( Dec 17) was about 1600 the day/morning after Mad Friday & the Saturday before xmas so that had some bearing on the reduced following thou we still had the whole corner to move around in. Last Sunday felt like end of the season fixture and I think that's how many have seen this, just 1 away game too many in a miserable season.

In the student part of Southampton at the moment and half the local population seems to be off their tits. Making the Hudds look like Madrid.Ah well, time to go to 'Spoons' and blend in.

Why the fuck would anyone go to this? 8am start and a day trip for (just) two of us, not quite the sense of anticipation as going to Selhurst for the first PL game but wouldn't want to miss our last game in the top flight (for the time being at least) whatever the result.

Why the fuck would anyone go to this? Personally - because I’m getting old and probably won’t see us back in the PL again in my lifetime. I waited 45 years to see us come back up, it might be stretching it a bit to expect to last another 45...
