Know both 'Dave Smudger' Smith Father Christmas lookalike and Steve Jarvis Dave is a relatively late starter to watching Saints, lives in North London and started watching Saints in 90's. Only became Saints fans as all the locals in the pub he frequents, kept on promising him they would take him to a game. Pub full of Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Chelsea fans, but nothing ever came of it until Ray 'Reggie' Betts offered him a ticket for game at the Dell, since then been devoled Saints fan, has had a season ticket for last two years and goes to most away games, but has proably gone to 50 grounds Steve Jarvis has however been lifelong Saints fan and has attended majority of grounds not usre if he's done Chesterfield's new ground, but managed to get to Morecomb's new ground when our game at Rochdale was called off So don't think he's quite done all 92 but I know for sure that he and many others can not of seen Sinats at alll 92 grounds as there are many grounds that Saints have never played at eg. Chesterfield (new Ground) , Morecombe (new ground), Cardiff (new ground), Burton, Macclesfield, Accrington, Stevenage and Wigan where we hopefully play next season. Also there will be at least one possible two new grounds coming into the league with Crawley Town and AFC Wimbledon

According to Solent on 8.20 sports desk they said B*mpey were attempting to join us in the Champions League through the play-off's And there was I thinking we'd been promoted to the Championship No wonder everybody was celebrating so much on the pitch last week

Can't argue with anything you say above However Tranmere is still my worst on all levels result, day out everything as there are some decent pubs in Colchester if you know where to look On good trip side would add Hartlepool as I've enjoyed both of my trips there including this year despite 0-0 draw, miond you does help if you are staying up there overnight for lengthy away games like this one.

Much better coverage as part of LATE KICK OFF programme thats available online all week http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01108fz/Late_Kick_Off_South_South_West_and_West_2011_Episode_15/

Best - Oldham away, closely followed by Brighton and Exeter two great comebacks to win at the death Worst - Tranmere a dire performance and Birkenhead is one place I'll not miss next season a really horrbile place, only other poor perfromances IMO Swindon and MK Dons

Think games quoted are wrong too it was Notts County and Tranmere in January, Walsall away was not until March

I and about 9 other Saints fans attended those two games I drove through the Alps to get there with another 3 in car Neither of games was at Juve's training ground One was played at the Town ground in St Vincent against Juventus the other in Minicipal stadium against Torino Lost 3-1 to Juve after taking the lead, and 1-0 to Torino Saints did not announce any details of the games, (as still probles with Engalnd fans in Italy at he time) but we managed to find out via a contact in Italy and then got all the details from Graham Hiley at the Echo as one of my mates was a pal of his. Great trip and met the Saints team in a bar in St Vincent the night before the Juve game, they were extremly surprised to see us there.

I've been to every game, I as managed to do the same in our last promotion season in 1977/78 Know four other London Saints who have also not missed a game all season

Bristol City away 1965/66 Saints won with an Own Goal in the first of the three promotion seasons I've witnessed when I was I has been to some home games that season including our 9-3 win against Wolves, but it's only the Bristol City game including the trip up there by car I remember

I took my daughter who had not seen us win in 8-10 games to the Bristol Rovers game, so hopefully your lad will see his first win against Walsall

Beware most trains on monday from Exeter to Plymouth and return are Cross Country who do not accept Group 4 tickets Also cheapest way to travel without Group 4 is get return to Axminster £22.10 from Salisbury; then Return Axminster to Exeter £9.20, then Return Exeter to Plymouth which is £7.90 per adult = £39.20 if you have a Network Card you'll get 1/3rd off fares down to Exeter so would be £28.77 cheapest fare online currently £50 return

I thought you always drove like that, it was certainly interesting going over the cobbled streets the speed you were going

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2337637,00.html In the article on official site it said tickets to be given on basis of agmes attended, but his must have gone wrong for some on here who appear to have gone to several games but not got tickets, this could however be down to them not receiving application,(lost in post), your ticket ppurchases not being recorded properly by those in ticket office or ticket office c*ck up. If you have missed out despite being to several games, i'd contact ticket office and tell them what's happened as they sometimes get tickets retuned

On the same website other Brighton fans very complimentary about our perfomance http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?199759-Southampton-VERY-impressive/page6

A brief report of today's game, following my celebratory Curry on my return to Salisbury First half Saints dominated without really looking like scoring, then Jaidi mucked things up at back just before half time and under hit back pass to Kelvin which Barnes slotted away 1-0 Brighton Second half again Saints dominated, I don't think Brighton had a corner in the whole game, but despite Lallana being introduced for Forte at Half Time we failed to make the best of out possession, Guly hit a shot straight at keeper with the goal at his mercy, Lambert hit post with header and then blasted wide when set up well by Chaplow It looked like being another one of those days. On 80 mins Brighton who had used a lot of gamesmanship and time wasting throughout the game as they did at St Mary's decided to withdraw the ball boys in an attempt to slow the game However once again the introduction of Connelly turned things in our favour. After hitting one shot just wide he then in an attack soon after on 83mins he swivelled on an old sixpence and hit ball into corner of net and then ran to celebrate with Saints fans behind the goal. Even better things for Saints on 89 mins when Kelvin's free kick was headed in by Fonte to beat the keeper, in a simlar manner to Rochadle's first goala against us the other week, he then ran right across running track minus shirt to join Saints fans in their celebrations. The referee then added 6 or 7 mins injury time most due to Brighton's time wasting however Saints held on, assisted by the absence of the ball boys, to gain a great and really vital victory NB seems strange that like the MK Dons home game the side that has time wasted has benefited from extra time, still who cares we keep winning and now 3 wins from 4 will be enough and if Huddersfield slip up at Brighton next week even two wins might be enough

Been told by ticket office tickets being sent out tomorrow They recieved loads more applications than tickets availble, four buckets full of apllications before game on Saturday alone, so unless you've been a regular at away games, our average is around 1400 you could well miss out

Brighton tickets are being sent out on Wednesday according to Ticket Office

Nice behavior from Orient fans in their Family Stand, what a good example the parents are setting for thier kids

If we can get 20,000 + it would be a good crowd for a midweek game IMO especially as Charlton will probably only bring 500

Palace at Ipswich too so yet more in and around Liverpool St Station area

In the previous article it said they were attempting to get more tickets !

It's Seperate Block within regular stand

Definately a ballot for this game, Brentford will be too according to Sarah Draper in ticket office

After that result although hoping for win, i'd be happy with a point tomorrow to put us third, with 2 games in hand over Hudddersfield and one in hand over Perterbro

Won there 3-1 on Boxing Day 1977/78 the year we last got promoted
