Saints won't in first as we don't have enough players to make a starting 11. Then 2nd half 7 subs. I really can't see Brighton putting a decent team out it's not like they will struggle against Saints.

I don't think they will risk players getting hacked. If it's last game the main team is already decided. The last friendly is normally the run a round for the bench warmers.

I get impression the manager deal was done on the basis of 'see what you can do with the team thats here and expect lots of sales. It's likely the style of play will be the same if the bulk of the 11 plus bench are same as.

Anyone know how much we have spent on players and income from sold players to date?

Not that many sold for Brighton. I suspect it will be a Brighton U21 team.

It will be a nightmare on the train as a lot of games are. By the time I get out of ground and walk to station all the police have packed up and gone. The newsagents will be happy selling cans beer.

50 coaches ! That's a lot to drive through in a city with the worst traffic outside of London. Last season 4 times the replacement train bus to Eastleigh took 1.5-2 hours. I thought the away fans allocation was much smaller at Fratton due to the redevelopment at one of the corners .

He served the club well. It's not the players fault they are still in team if heading towards retirement or making too many mistakes. It's stupid managers asking the team to keep passing ball back to defence. Also managers fault for not lining up a replacement.

Thanks, done same.

Has anyone managed to get the £5 discount applied to Brighton tickets. It doesn't for me and when choosing under 16 for £5 just keeps saying £15. Booking line is closed so no good for people who can't use the system. Seat view doesn't show row so guess then click bug wrong seat cant change unless start again.

Apart from the Eastleigh game has anyone seen the rest of the pre season games online and can say what type of football we are playing? Possession, attacking, high pressure, etc or can't tell.

Match 13. I dont think we are equipped with enough experience, agressive players or goal scorers. Injuries allways hit Saints early, we haven't sold enough players to generate enough to bolster team. Will adjust my predictions if we actually play football in first 3 games and not nonsense possession stuff again.

I think most near ground and Yates will be closed. If you have to get a coach ticket when buying a match ticket as Saints system had that doesn't stop non ticket holders going by train or car. It's easy to police at Fratton but southampton has too many routes in and parking. They get on at Eastleigh also.

Went on the bubble last time. It was a bus. The top windscreen got smashed, from the inside by Saints fans. Apart from about 15 pompey by a put and on route didn't see any of the blue few
