16,999?? that would make about 36,000, have we extended the ground?? most are staying away because they were only ever here for the dull premiership, they probably have gone back to wearing liverpool/aresnal/chelsea/manure shirts and watching on sky.
Do you know what really saddens me?? walking away from the grond and a kids team were training in a park, not one of the kids was wearing a saints shirt and they were literally playing a stones throw from the ground, they obviously like football but suppporting aresnal, cjelsea etc how many games will they realistically get to go and see, if you're born in Southampton and like football you should be made to support saints, if you don't you should be extradited to iraq.
