    perhaps if we put together a healthy following NOW it might inspire the team to a few victories which would make it worhwhile taking a healthly following to St Mary's. Tickets still available for the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, only 400 sold.

    'tis true. But if you are going to support the team it's probably best to do so whilst there is still a chance. By the Saints game the Fat Lady will be doing her voice exercises in preparation.

    What exactly is this history? I know it kicked off in the Lib last season but surely it was just a bunch of lads playing at being a hardman rather than any real deep seated antagonism.

    Been to St Mary's twice and always enjoy the trip, first time was when CfW junior was a mascot and Saints treated him superbly so I have a bit of a soft spot for the place. Been limited on away days this year but this is most certainly on the list.

    Dunno if it's still going but the park & ride system is very good.

    Yeah and last season the walk back from St. Marys was a bit interesting.

    thinking of going to St Mary's, as a bad omen, weren't they one of the "must win" games in the 1st premier relegation season and we lost 3-1

    I remember the first game at St Marys in 2001 for reasons other than the game.

    That involved an interesting lunchtime drink opposite the station and an interesting walk from the ground after the game.

    Also went to the 0-0 draw in Sep 2002. That was horrible.

    Am very tempted to do this game in April.

    That was at The Dell.

    Wasn't that Pringles debut?

    I'm sure the pringles debut was the 2-2 draw v Newcastle. I remember Royce made his debut that day so I am guessing the Soton game took place before that. Therefore Bambi did not make his debut at The Dell (what a horrible place)

    Martin Pringle was a second half substitute at the Dell replacing Steve Jones in the 71 minute and made a start in the next game a 2-2 draw against Newcastle at the Valley

    will never forget that game... "How cruel life can be when your down at the bottom of the league... Youds..... Parker..... 2 2!!!!!!" celebrated like we had just won the league.

    Anyone going by Train

    Groupsave 4 has restrictions mainly for football matches

    There is NONE on this saturday which is a touch.

    Just wondering if i booked the train now and the they decided this was one of the days Groupsave was not valid on despite me booking when it was and having a print out of the webpage dated.

    Would be have to pay extra or would they honour the tickets still?
