Saint Garrett

The team of 03.... Niemi, Dodd, Claus, Svensson, Bridge Fernandes, Oakley, Svensson, Marsden Beattie, Ormerod With Jones, Higginbotham, Williams, Delap, Prutton, Telfer, Tessem, Davies, Pahars all in reserve. That was a very good 'team'. Maybe not the best players but they worked so well together and everything just clicked and had the right balance. Admittably I only started watching Southampton properly in about 95/6 when I was 7 or 8!!

Seem to remember Best had an awesome game that day as well.

Didn't Beattie get 2, one from a free kick and the other an amazing volley ?

So I have to shell out 60 odd quid to watch us play the skates?!?

Will take time, doesn't look match fit to me. Also we play very differently to Doncaster. He'll get his chances but just needs to come and take them, starting on Saturday

As someone else mentioned. They'll be more seats available for the Doncaster game as they'll bring less fans, it's a joke.

Dear Chris, * We are not expecting there to be any seats left after the Doncaster game has taken place. * Kind Regards * Charlotte Lewis Ticket Office Assistant Southampton

Think they've already been annouced which games they are playing, and we are on the BBC the week beforehand at Blackpool. Can't see it happening.

Now I don't know whether to buy a ticket for the Donny + Pompey games so I definitely get one for Pompey and waste the Donny ticket, or just leave it and hope to get one after that. Just means I'll end up paying £60 odd for the pompey game.

Hopefully he'll make it.

Although you're probably right and it is just miss-communication this is the email i recieved... Chris, At no point during sale will Portsmouth be available without the linked game. Kind Regards Charlotte Lewis Ticket Office Assistant Southampton FOOTBALL CLUB Tel: 023 8071 1912 saintsfc.co.uk

Would like to think we'll sell out up there despite the distance. Could be a promotion party !

Yep it is ridiculous...I cannot quite believe it, but it is what i've been told. The person that I have been emailed might be wrong, but I don't think she is. It just means that there is going to be loads of Doncaster tickets sold, but may be loads of empty seats where people cannot go but want to go to the Skates match

There is no priority. I have emailed the ticket office about this game and that I am unable to go to the Doncaster match. I asked if it could be linked to an alternative game, they said no. I asked if it would be available if it went to general sale. I was told that even if it does go to general sale, you still have to buy a Doncaster ticket. At no point will the game be unlinked. Absolute joke. If they were going to be so strict on it being linked, they could have atleast given us a choice of games to go to - especially if Reading is on Sky.

I never look on the away forum. Is people going to away games not related to saints or something? Might go to this one, need to find out if there is a train back to Sheffield after the game though.

What is this footballfriendsonline...this was where the Lambert to WHU was reported. Someone looking for hits on their website ?

Adam Smith has been recalled by Spurs from Leeds, so won't be available Saturday for them

...

Surprised Sean Ruddy hasn't been given a chance in the England squad. Our keepers after Hart are not great.

Thomas Hajto

Might as well not watch the rest then

Walcott couldn't look lower on confidence right now.

Spurs by far the better side...Awful dive by Bale though. What's 'Arry been teaching him?

Surely Grant Holt would be considered before Rickie?
