Farnham is obviously a hotbed of Saints fans

On behalf of those fans who don't live near Southampton... I grew up in Farnham and have always supported Saints, lots of classmates in those days were Man U, Liverpool, Leeds, Chelsea plastics. Used to look forward to my Dad getting the Southern Daily Echo on a Saturday evening (for the Saints news) and the rare treat of going to watch the saints. Weekends were ruined if Saints and my youth football team lost! Have since moved further afield Lincolnshire now via Mombasa. The Internet is a wonderful thing to keep up to date when you live away from Southampton - unfortunately you don't get many fans in local pubs able to chat in depth about Saints. My six year old is an avid Saints fan - we manage to get to two or three games a season. When I lived in Africa the only football available to watch is premier league (Terry Paine!) so I understand how so many supporters from abroad come to develop their 'support'. Some of the previous posters comments that to be a supporter you need to be able to either go to majority of matches or actually come from Southampton seems a tad harsh on those unable to do so. Many fans who live away would like nothing better than to live close enough to be able to see the team regularly.

Must keep him in squad for next game What a beauty

Agree with the above. If you do decide to try it I would recommend taking a bag of surprises etc to help with keeping her happy

Shame the beach has gone walkabout. Ps whitecap is a step up from Tusker

Heard that Crosby was on a five game package at beginning of season

Great result for the boys Anyone go to the game?

Watch out for Elliott whitehouse - sheff utd skipper

Good luck and enjoy I spent four years in Mombasa. I used to see the occasional saints shirt on locals. Be ready for being out of breath if you are playing any matches up country Tourist souvenirs pay about a quarter of original price asked ( unless it's a shop) Cheers Johnny

Burnley have quite a lot in common with us They also have a small slum called Portsmouth nearby Burnley fans very friendly before game last time I went there unfortunately the mutants were out after we beat them - dread to think what they will be like this year if we get two of their players

Hey docklands used to live in wood hall spa still visit sometimes - mall, smarties, Indian village .... Good place to live Cheers Johnny
