I googled my first ever game ,it was 61 years ago !!! and luckily this report and pictures came up. We won ,6-1 .v Rotherham, George O Brien hat trick, Terry Paine got a couple and David Burnside and I was hooked for life. I'm sure I've still got the programme somewhere that I bought at a programme fair many years later as, being a nine year old kid I maybe at the time didn't realise the significance of getting a programme on that monumental day !!!!!! https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24092303.photos-southampton-v-rotherham-dell-1964/ yes ,this was my first game v Rotherham in 1964 (as per my user name on here 64saint !! ) My Dad's boss had 4 season tickets in the West Stand center block, almost next to the Directors box on the half way line. One of his family couldn't go and they took me. Best seat and view I ever had in all my years of going to the Dell. I naturally assumed at the age of 9 this would be quite normal, oh boy,was I in for a shock !!!!! My next game a couple of years later in 1966 after we had been promoted was against West Ham who had the world cup winners, Hurst, Peters, and Moore playing. I was crammed in under the old scoreboard at the Archers road end and couldn't see a thing !! π. π€£π€£ As a teenager after that it was usually the Milton road end chocolate boxes before my regular spot under the East stand. Great memory's, good times and bad times over the years but nothing will ever match that first visit, walking up those steps of the old West stand as a 9 year old and then looking out across the Dell for the very first time.

Great post Rivers, am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. Maybe your post should be printed out and pinned on the changing room wall to show what this game means to those not quite so familiar with the South coast rivalry. And yes, I'm also of the age that can remember Dougal's infamous crew.

England, just like watching Saint's. Read into that what you will π

Ummm ...π«€ looks like normal frustration for us Saint's fans then !!!

Good to see the Southampton flag being displayed at the Andora v England game today. You might actually see some goals today.

Yes, phone....023 8071 1980. Really helpful π

Ok, so 99%of posts (including mine )have been negative this season and rightly so but amidst all of our negativity I've just got to make a positive shout out for the supporters services team who couldn't have been more helpful when making an enquiry about wheelchairs and accessibility as a one off for the Arsenal game. Didn't catch the name of the lady on the end of the phone but she went out of her way to give me relevant information and then phoning me back with more advice and help. I guess this might be the only positive to come out of this season for me but good to see one section of the club is still performing.

The title of this thread....Don't run on the pitch... I'm assuming this refers to our players? βΉοΈ

Just comparing the Palace managers reaction at the final whistle, laid back ,hands in his pockets, respectful but obviously delighted compared with mad Nats embarrassing antics on the touchline last night at the final whistle of his playoff semi final.
