Here's a bigger plan. Will find a better/more detailed plan when I've got time:

Yep. And to quote the OS to the letter - it does say we have been allocated "over 44,000 tickets". Those extra few hundred may make all the difference to someone.

I don't think Mr Freeborn car dealer is too happy this morning somewhat...

Ouch! That dog bite looks rather sore! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/8514871.stm

Just a quick word to add that I thought referee Howard Webb had an excellent game yesterday too. We're used to seeing way too many abysmal refs in this division - so it was good to see a top ref in charge yesterday for such a highly-charged game.

Just show the big girls blouse this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1250668/DES-KELLY-Portsmouth-cheats-let-wall.html

What I want to know is... who had the job of putting 28,000 red & white cards - as well as an elastic band - on the back of each & every seat?!?! Poor bastid.

Not Leanne was it?

It was nothing to do with the footy btw. A lad was punched outside the pub & smacked his head on the concrete. The coppers locked everyone in - took all their names - and then let them all go. Not football related atall.

"Are you any relation to Roland Rat Avram?"

And a few more *WARNING - SOME IMAGES MAY OFFEND! LOL - THE 'FAKE SHEIK' SOME PIKEY & A SAINT PIKEY SMELLY PIKEY DIRTY PIKEY PIKEY FOOTWEAR LAMBERT NODS GOALWARDS... ...IT'S IN!

Which is what Pards is saying on the OS.

Well said Pards. In you we trust! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1964954,00.html

AND Rickie proved he can score against "Premiership" quality!

Just got in. Scoreline wasn't a true reflection whatsoever. We had 2 glorious chances in the first half which could have made all the difference. They had waaaay too much pace down the left second half - which was our undoing. When we went 2-1 down & pushed for an equaliser - their pace undid us & in the end - the scoreline was flattering. Still - well played lads. We gave them a decent game on the whole (bar the last 10 minutes). And Rickie Lambert proved that he can indeed score against Premiership opposition! Back to L1 and where it really matters. STID.

Hayling (your good self), Waterlooville (me), Emsworth (Emsworth Saint), Rowlands Castle (Tractor Saint)... We've got more fans coming from the PO postcode than them!

Kinda. He's missed their last 3 games through a hamstring problem but is expected back today. Can't see him playing the 90 mins.

For those away from a telly screen (unlikely of course - but possible!) - these are the streaming links which will be working nearer kick-off of course. http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=64969&part=sports

See you're in Hayling Tac-tics. Things are no better here in Waterlooville mate! Been getting it large all week - and my mobile hasn't stopped all morning with texts from skates-a-plenty! Never known so many texts...but that's because - unlike previous encounters when we've both been pretty evenly matched - this time they are expecting to thrash us as we're "2 divisions below". I tell them two words: David/Goliath! COYS!

Worth reading...if only to wind us all up! http://www.portsmouth-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/southampton_vs_portsmouth_preview_495243/index.shtml

I will be in the Chapel for the very first time ever (I'm normally in Itchen Block 3). If anyone starts on me - I will smother them with my tartan blanket - wack them over the head with my Thermos flask - and ram my bottle of Centrum multi-vitamin pills down their throat.

1-1. Lovely "friendly" evening replay at their gaff midweek.
