david in sweden Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 Stuart Taylor plays for Saints? When did that happen? well he hasn't actually " played " in a competitive game yet, but he's good back-up in case of .....,(any unforseen situations) ....but he does have a certain amount of experience as no.2 to international keepers in teams like Arsenal and Man.City in seasons when they won " things ".

Sour Mash Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 No it wont. The most important match in Saints' history (living memory) was in 1976. The second one was Coventry at home. If we beat inter its special because its a big club away in a massive stadium.... but its not worth a damn to the club or the fans. They will come bottom of the group. Sour mash isn't right, but neither are people who want to make this into the biggest game in the club's fairly modest history. Well I am right then, as that's my point. It's clearly not our biggest game in recent history thankfully. No club rests players and has plenty of empty seats for their biggest game. For those looking for a drink out here, the Navigli Canal area is the only bit of town where there's a n actual proper run of pubs for a crawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 (edited) finished my final bit of packing, now to watch Man City game tonight and fly tomorrow! absolutely buzzing for the game, never thought I could watch Saints play a competitive game at the San Siro! Also, what are we all thinking regarding half and half scarves? :lol: Saints website: Saints will be backed by 6,715 supporters in the San Siro, but will be cheered on by many more back at home – and we will have all of you covered.

igsey Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 From the BBC preview: "The match at the San Siro will be the first meeting between the two clubs and comes six years after Inter last won the Champions League.

Mr Dad Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 I've been to Milan many times. General strike is not really a problem for the trains/underground/buses/trams etc. The network is shut down 9am-5pm but if you travel before/after those times, its no problem. Planes - if you are with BA then no problem. Lufthansa no problem too.Other airlines might drop a couple of flights. AlItalia might lose half its flights but thats rare. Get the Milan transport app for phone. Public transport is fantastic and cheap! Taxis - plenty of them but tend to jack the prices by 25%. Most take credit cards. There are lots of these general strikes in Italy but the impact is nowhere near as bad as Echo is making out. I have never noticed a difference because I have been working. What a daft time to call a strike if you really want to inconvenience people! Drinks - there are plenty of microbreweries/specialist beer bars. Check them out on Google. There's a lot of Inter support around but in the specialist bars, no ubers. Canals are good fun and if lots of saints fans around, unlikely to be a problem. Good luck those who are going. Wish I could be there. It's a reasonably safe city. There's a couple of dodgy areas but they are well outside city centre. Nothing to worry about really.

Lighthouse Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 I had hoped there was a League 1 fixture on this day 6 or 7 years ago but the closest I can find is a trip to Oldham on 17th October 7 years ago.

Sour Mash Posted 19 October, 2016 Share Posted 19 October, 2016 Sorry, but this is one of the biggest games in my 45 years of going. Much bigger than a L1 game in Brighton for example. I appreciate that it doesn't have much resting on it but this is Saints playing European royalty in one of the worlds iconic stadiums. Stick your details up and tell me that to be ny face.

Turkish Posted 20 October, 2016 Share Posted 20 October, 2016 I agree it isn't a big match, but it's a big occasion especially for the fans. Really looking forward to it and for others of age Italian football was in it's prime when I was young teenager. Great memories of Italia 90, Sunday afternoon Italian football in an era when live matches were still a novelty and the great Italian sides of the early late 80s and early 90s, AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Lazio, Roma etc. remember watching Ipswich and villa both play in the San Siro and think how great it'd be for saints to play there but never thinking we would. We go to old Trafford, Anfield etc every year so this is a real on off, but it isn't a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much sums it up in terms of our season this game doesn't have much riding on it we could lose and still progress in Europe. As a symbol of how far we've come it's a special game but other games in our history have been bigger based on their importance to the clubs progression. Still looking forward to it this game very much but looking forward to the return leg at SMS more. Hope all those going have a good time and see a great win.
