When was our last crowd that low? I seem to remember a Norwich replay with about 13k

Well I did say it would only be worthwhile if there's a sizeable amount doing it. Towards the end of the Stoke cup game there was 30-50 people stood up towards the back of block 21 so I think there could be some interest in it.

Anyone else considering moving to block 20/21 next season? I'm giving it some real thought but won't be worthwhile unless there's a sizeable amount doing so.

Yeah I plan on driving for that reason.

Yeah I am a bit too. Will be interesting to see how Chelsea goes as a London game albeit midweek. Not too bothered though as keeps me near/at the top of criteria, be shit for others if we don't get a full allocation at Goodison though.

3 away games in a row made general sale. Reduced allocations coming soon I suspect.

All that being said, I've not been particularly impressed by any home supports this season at away games so I don't think it's just an us problem. Top flight atmospheres have been getting steadily worse for years now and are at an all time low. Wolves probably the best if games I've been to.

Largely been disappointing in my view. Said before on here that it's full of atmosphere tourists; people who want to be in an atmospheric area but do very little to actually contribute to it. From what I can tell the front third of the stand doesn't really contribute much, probably two thirds on the old away end side. Loads of people spend most of the game after ten minutes playing games/checking bets on their phones. There's even a sizeable amount of people who spend chunks of the match sat down! It can be loud when it gets going but that's rare and generally different parts are singing different songs at the same time. For example the left side will start a rendition of 'oh Southampton we love you' and sing two rounds of it. On the second round the middle will join in and start their two rounds, the latter of which the right side will join in who then sing their second round on their own. Our lack of songs and inability to maintain them means most songs just fizzle out and it's not really an 'end' at all. The best it's been all season is probably the second half against Spuds which says it all.

Can't see Brum not coming up unfortunately. I'd like Wrexham and Wycombe to come with them. Both would be great grounds to tick off.

Can we end this experiment now and stop pretending he's any good? Dreadful player.

Aribo is barely a footballer in all honesty. Embarrassing performance from him yesterday.

I use this forum for all my Saints news. Anyone know how we got on yesterday?

Late notice but my pal has just told me he can't go so have a spare for this if anyone's interested. Can meet outside the ground. Drop a PM

I normally park in Croydon and then jump on a train at East Croydon. Plenty of pubs round there and won't all be rammed.

Surely anybody with eyes and has even a vague understanding of the game has been able to see we've looked unfit most of the season? It was obvious from as early as Ipswich.
