Football Special

Will be interesting to see how Everton get on having Goodison as home ground for the women , I think this had more to do with having no buyers for the land rather than a need for them to have a stadium though

Northern Ireland doing well so far in Germany, Shea Charles showing how comfortable he can be at this level

I'm sure Will Still watched the Ireland game last night , Manning was playing as if he had a point to prove , they play again on Tuesday evening away in Armenia so will be up against that Krasnador mush we'd been trying to sign , might watch that one rather than England

I caught some of the 2nd half, he played well, looks full of confidence

Yeah it was a publicity stunt by Dorking , never had any intention of playing the fan in the match

It would be nice when the teams walk out and the Northam End unveils the tifo banner if it just says "WE STOLE YOUR FOOD"

It's very odd isn't it, feels like he's already left as he never features, club must have been confident he'd be gone by now

They are playing some home games there this season, Sunderland later in the month for example

I don't disagree, big fan of non-league, but for young kids going to St Mary's was a good experience, I was given free tickets for them so from a cost perspective can't complain as well

I think if they have a successful season and are in a promotion battle that will help the attendances. Also really cheap, for families on a lower budget it's good introduction to live football.

3,896 in attendance

Reminds me of this Birmingham lad who passed away recently, his final wish was for his pals to sing shit on the villa at his funeral, cannot beat English football culture

Think Will Still needs you in that dressing room pre match to say a few words, all the best to you and your old man

If you are after a football fix today get on down to St Mary’s for Saints Women v Ipswich Women , first league game of the season, 2pm kick off.

Yep they cannot fucking help themselves with some jackanory story telling can they, no doubt they'll then claim it's only a sell out as they've bought loads in the home end (despite the fact they've all been crying about the ticket price and it actually dropped quite low on their loyalty points to get a ticket)

Didn't he claim the womens game would be bigger than the men's?

"We don’t just buy success, we breed it."

It's a good point about younger supporters, i was talking to a lad, 27 years old, goes regular home and away now but this will be his first south coast derby, easy to forget for some of us older fans that the youngsters don't know any different

Normally yes, but for this game they've made it complicated, think you need to email the club with details of who you want to transfer them to, either that or just meet your mates at St Mary’s and let them use your phone to scan in through the turnstile https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/portsmouth-h-ticket-exchange-and-ticket-transfer-update

Blimey.

Do they play him in the same position/ role as we do?

Yes there's plenty of travel available (also very few match tickets sold today, will be a revised lower ticket allocation but still plenty to go round) https://tickets.southamptonfc.com/selection/service?productId=10229036020165 Also there's unofficial travel if it's easier for you https://www.nickssaintsawaytravel.co.uk/#!/liverpool-cup-g

Yes definitely highlights how easy it is to quickly build up away points I think this competition used to split gate receipts 45% each so could be quite a valuable fixture for the club with a 60k crowd combined with being first TV pick on ITV

Caused millions of pounds of improvements?
