Thoroughly deserved, come on Sholing.

I'll be there SholingFC, be interesting to see how many Saints fans will be interested if Sholing make it to Wembley !

plenty of people who like watching live football rather than watching it on television care mate, including me. I went along with my nipper and thoroughly enjoyed it. Try it one day instead of insulting true football fans by calling them bores. Keep posting Sholing FC.

7.30 KO £8 adults, £5 Senior citizens, kids U16 free if with an adult.

Tickets at sholing are £8 for adults and kids are free. They have been known to give a £2 discounts to Saints fans on production of a season ticket - no promises but worth a try.

For those of you not going to Dellhurst Park on Monday, come along to Portsmouth Rd for Sholing FC v Gosport Borough. Noon KO.

Great memories, we all made up names for our players and took it in turns to host matches with awards given for best facilities and best refreshments, our mate Derek won that one as his Mum would make us a burger. We had a hardcore of five players in the league with an additional two joining us for the last season. Greenstone are up in the loft now but by coincidence I bought my nipper a Saints team for Christmas. Fancy getting the league going again ?

Final post on this subject PLLLEAAASSE. Wish I hadn't started it now. For the slower ones amongst you the basic point is that the only thing the Police have achieved is that by introducing the bubble and its attached inconveniences they will have put families off (the very people they want to attract) and restricted it to the lads (the very people they want to discourage) who don't care about (or who only have themselves to care about) the inconveniences it will cause. I have been to Fratton on four occasions to see Saints with little or no problems from their fans - there is no need for the bubble. If you have been there and been beaten up then I suspect you may have a different view.

Jesus typical of some of the contributors to this site that they cannot read a post correctly. I think you have made yourself out to be the mong whatever that is mehball.

All the police have achieved here is to guarantee that the Saints support will be 99% blokes as no family are going to take their kids knowing they are going to have to spend so long fannying about with no facilities. There is one disgusting toilet (I know it can be argued the whole ground is a disgusting toilet) and as already pointed out one refreshment hut/kiosk that runs out of stock before the game starts. Well done Hampshire Police. They need to learn how to police those that want to fight rather than over police those that don't. Anyway nuff said it is what it is.

''How about we stop chanting "come on you reds" like a bunch of spastics and simply replace "reds" with saints? Especially when we're playing against teams like Forest or Man Utd '' - posted by Rasiak 9 I suggested that last season Rasiak 9 (although not using the words you have) when we used that chant on numerous occasions away from home when we were playing in black and the oppostion in red. I was told to get a life by the more intelligent contributors to this board. Come on you Saints sounds better and is more relevant but I was told we have been chanting it for 50 years or so, so it musn't change.

Bunch of middle aged bores moaning about the youngsters having fun, you talk about being embarressed whilst using words like cringetastic, **** me. oi watch it, I'm what you would call middle aged and I joined in with the Steeeve chant because it was what it was meant to be funny. Saints fans beggar belief we win our 17th home league game in a row and they are on here moaning about the chants from the crowd. Personally I think the Northam should now stay silent for the rest of the season thereby avoiding any criticism from the crochet blanket brigade.

After arriving at Southampton Central at 9am for the last game at Fratton (on the advice of the police in the echo) I was then a tad annoyed to finally arrive in the ground half an hour after kick off after experiencing deliberate delaying tactics by the police (South West trains also cancelled a train). I wrote to the echo to voice my opinion of the Police handling of the delay and was honoured with a reply from the chief of police for Hampshire who told me the delay was entirely due to the cancelled train and that he and his men had done a wonderful job and only five arrests had been made. He didn't feel it necessary to try to explain why a 45 minute journey to Fratton had in fact taken over 3 hours and resulted in me and hundreds of others missing a fair bit of the game. To be honest the bubble sounds as if it will be no worse than this experience was.

Anyone remember the Saints fans who climbed out on the roof supports high above the crowd ? I remember one climbing back in and being pulled down by his legs by a policeman and cracking his face on a barrier, knocked him right out. Any sympathy we felt for him went right out the window when they gave him medical treatment right in front of us blocking our view for a few minutes. I remember my dad saying it served him right. Harder times !

On Sunday I had to persuade one of my mates to referee my son's U10 match. He hasn't done it for years and did it as a massive favour to me. Five minutes in I was yelling at him for missing a foul on one of our players. Bloody refs.

daft response. The team I watch, when not watching Saints, Sholing FC are a semi professional club and their players are just as dedicated to their sport as Saints players. Try it one week when Saints are away you will be pleasantly surprised.

Normally I would be at Sholing, especially as they are playing in the FA cup today, but unfortunately could not make it due to other commitments. For the first game of the season please note they offered half price entrance to Saints fans producing their season ticket, hopefully this will continue for future games. The added bonus is they wear red and white stripes so you can wear your Saints shirt and fit right in !

3 hour wait for me to get a new ticket for my son. Selling well methinks.

Hard luck Sholing, well done Totton, good game I thought. Not a bad crowd about 1400 I believe.

Weds night at 7.30, Hampshire senior cup final between Totton (who play in blue) and Sholing (who play in red and white stripes). Entry is £10 for adults and £5 for kids. Should be a good game between Southampton's other teams who finished first and second respectively in the Zamaretto league division one South and West. Its Sholing for me.

Bizarre responses from both of you. Why the aggression ? Our nickname is the Saints its a good one lets use it !

For all those unable to get along to Plymouth, come to Portsmouth Road in Sholing for the Southern league division one play off final. KO 3pm. Entrance £8, £6 for Saints season ticket holders. £2 for concessions, free for under 12;s. Opponents are Frome Town who claim to be bringing 300 fans down for the game. Seeing as Sholing's biggest crowd this season is 432 it could be interesting.

Not Reds, we play in white with a little bit of red. PS Walsall play in red and probably will on the 7th, whats the betting most of the crowd don't realise on saturday and inadvertently cheer them on. Been embarrassed more than once this season when the Northam loudly cheer on the away team ie Swindon, Charlton.

Great atmosphere at the game last night and a healthy noisy crowd. Sholing are playing Frome on Monday at P****muff Rd at 3. Frome are bringing 3 coachloads down according to their website. Entry is £8, £2 for 12 to 16's and free for under 12's. The club last night also gave a £2 discount to those producing their Saints season tickets so hopefully this will continue Monday.

Its tonight ! Hopefully some of you might come. Thatcham are bringing a coach load down (could be a minibus).
