Paul Allen's yacht, circa 2008?

Excellent, thanks for the feedback all! My last game was Saints vs Cheltenham Town in the Cup four years ago, where I just showed up & bought tickets at the gate along with 9,000 other people iirc. Very different times. Man City unfortunately is the only game I'd be around for, which makes it incredibly difficult I know. We'll give it a try regardless!

Apologies if this has been discussed at length, I've done a search but to no avail... I am travelling to the UK in November from Australia, and am hoping to see Saints vs Man City in late November. Obviously not being a season ticket holder, what are the avenues for purchasing tickets? I take it most games sell out, so is it feasible at all? Any direction would be great!

Do Rank Xerox do electronics?

I will buy a Leicester shirt if they do a job for us tonight.

1996-97 was kind of exciting for them

Did this in 2005 when we went down. Avoided pretty much everything football related for about a month.

Had an even stranger one where I was playing in the 1976 FA Cup final as a central defender for Saints, giving the ball away and gifting United the opener. We promptly lost 2-0.

Once dreamt that I was playing in the '76 final and fresh-aired a clearance, gifting Lou Macari the opener for United. Have no idea what happened afterward because I woke up.

Think it is an urban myth. It was 3 points for a win that season- rule had come in around 81-82.

Heh thanks for the offer Michelle- I'll see how this online store thing pans out, and if its taking too long I might need to take it up. Its very difficult being a Saints fan in Aus. Most sports stores only seem to stock your big four shirts, and the Saints shirts that I do have are the shonky Thai ripoff ones, so it'd be nice to grab a real one.

Does anyone know (on a related matter) when the online store will be restocked with HOME kits? As I don't live in the UK I was hoping to order a medium home shirt online but it seems only the same limited size options have been available for months- ie I can only 'preorder' a small one (its been set like that for sometime), XLs, XXLs etc

Getting up and rushing to school (I live in Australia) to get to the library first so I could log onto the net (it was all new and shiny back then, didnt have it at home) to see if we had survived on the final day of 1998-99. Remember it taking ages to load, and seeing that Pahars had scored twice for a 2-0 win over Everton.

Aha must be getting it mixed up with the other Man Utd (6-3) game

Wasn't it more than 3-1?

Together with the Canon League Division One and the Ensleigh Football League...wouldnt surprise me

Also wasnt meaning that in a smartar$e way btw...realised I cant edit my own post

Yeah Ive heard about that but that never got off the ground, did it?

Yeah but I think the issue is the Football League itself (ie Championship and Leagues 1 & 2)- none of those first 3 teams are in the Football League.

Red Star Southampton Southampton AO Southampton YMCA Southampton Miners Welfare

Think the Italian league rules had something to do with the latter, and after a while they could change their name back- I'm not sure though.

Rochdale will still be in League Two apparently

Kind of like Halifax Town a few years back in the Conference

I'm completely at a loss as to what season this was...can somebody help me out?

Thanks a lot St Landrew- having never been to the UK means that whatever sliver of info I can pick up about our history is a bonus. I never realised we were a chance in 81-82.
