Nah it's bollocks. Shouldn't have to treat everybody like a criminal and herd them like cattle for the sake of a few idiots. It turns an away day 19 miles away into an 8+ hour day. It's a joke. The game down there will probably be one of the worst aways of the season.

Possibly but I think the Millbrook road route would be easier to police as wider and more open, plus not really going through any residential areas. Loads of potential ambush points along Lordshill way. Avenue route would be going much closer to/through the city centre too.

Don't think it'll be either. Saw somewhere that the coaches are meeting up at B&Q Nursling which suggests to me they'll come down Millbrook road and past the docks.

Ralph certainly didn't. He played a back four the vast majority of his time here.

No way I'd want that stinking fucking thing anywhere near me. Funny though.

If I remember rightly we lifted it a couple of years later which was an absurd decision. As was letting the skates off the ticket money from the FA Cup tie in 2010.

Beattie surely should be in hero section?

Yeah there wasn't many but was definitely some left that morning.

Almost certainly will I reckon. Hull did and that's a smaller allocation on a Saturday.

Probably another reason the clubs are happy with a bubble. They'll probably be at the ground about 10 so a good money maker. Don't get me wrong I won't be spending a penny down at their hovel but I'm sure there's plenty on both sides who will.

Just ran out of steam in the end. Think Fonte being cup tied was probably the decisive issue as it left us with really slow centre backs and we got absolutely murdered on the break once we tired. Was never in a million years a 4-1 game. So glad we bettered that at Fratton 9 years later. As others have said that Lambert goal was incredible though. Right up there with the best celebrated goals at SMS. Excluding games against the skates then Camara v Norwich in 2005 is one that springs to mind.

David James was incredible that day. Hated the cunt ever since.

That game was the final straw that decided where possible all future games would be bubbled.

Reminds me of when they said they won the bragging rights that season on 'away goals' 😂

Let me guess - we struggled to sell out as every single Saints fan is terrified of them 😂 Proper odd balls the lot of them. I can't wait to see an interview with a fan next week about how his great grandfather lost his job because of us.
