£16.85 return each from Southampton via Westbury for 4 with 1 rail card atm.

& then away to Brentford on the 26th!

Bletchley station is a 20 minutes walk from the ground according to the footballgroundguide.co.uk so guessing the game finishes at about 20 to 10 I've got the train times back something like this: 22.15 from Bletchley to MK Central arrives 22.21 22.41 from MK Central to London Euston 23.38 Then there is a train at either 00.05 or 01.05 back to Southampton. The tube from Euston takes approx 7 mins to Waterloo so the 00.05 is doable. Btw I believe Euston also serves Bletchley so it may be possible to get a train direct from Bletchley to London. Obviously for drinking purposes it will be better to arrive at MK Central as I've read there are next to no pubs near the ground. Edit - Just checked out the above & there is a train from Bletchley at 22.27 which goes directly to Euston without having to change at MK central, arrives in Euston at 23.25 so allows a bit more time to get the tube across to Waterloo for the 00.05 train. By buying a direct return from Euston to Bletchley though it works out at £54 each.

Thats a bloody big IF though, they're much more likely to be in League 1 or 2 by 2018 than they are the Premiership. Fair play to em for bidding though.

Well, we might aswell get this thread under way then hadn't we!! Just been looking at the trains, doable for £30 return each via London if travelling as group of 4 + 1 with rail card. Thats Southampton Central > Waterloo > Euston > MK Central. The nearest train station to the ground is Bletchley which is £1.60 return from MK Central. If anybody has any other ideas for the train from Southampton & its cheaper than the above please put it here!

Great start. Anybody know of any decent streams online to watch, stuck in the office atm!

Raised this point with a mate this morning too. If Bart is in form then I trust Kelvin's proffesionalism not having a problem with him keeping his spot & at the moment he deserves to do so. Nice to have the problem though, 2 very good keepers both playing in a division below their standard.

Anybody know when they make the draw for who is home & away in 1st/2nd legs for the area final? Need to whatever Tuesday it is for the away leg booked off work pronto!

It was a deliberate foul though, whether there were other defenders around him doesn't really matter IMO, the Norwich defender deliberatly hacked Antonio down to stop him getting what would probably have been a clear run on goal or at the very least into a very dangerous position. Deliberate foul = proffesional foul = red card in my book. Didn't really see the punching incident. But yes as a conclusion, the referee was awful last night as were his "assistants"

Rubbish! Antonio didn't touch him, f*cking incensed me that did! How about they ask Lambert about the deliberate foul play to hack Antonio down when he'd had a pretty clear run on goal. Should have been a red card, don't care if there were other defenders around him it was a deliberate & professional foul. I suppose Lambert also missed the boot to the face Harding received shortly after? C*nt.

No, i moved into a seat that was empty just before the exit for the concourse, therefore blocking nobodys view. HTH

Wasn't leaving early, just simply walking down the steps towards the bottom of the stand as i do most games, was never going to leave before the FT whistle. HTH.

get the f*ck in there! Was just walking down the steps of the northam about to leave before holt's blatant cheating sent me on a mad run down to the front of the stand. Very glad i stayed down there to go nuts when papa scored! Really couldn't see it coming! Still shaking now from the penalties! Well played bart especially the last 2 saves excellent stops! Bring on mk dons!

Been told its snowing in town so a word of warning to everyone going to wrap up warm! Looking forward to tonight, if they put a weak team out & we go pretty much full strength then we should be alright. ------------------Bart---------------- Thomas--Trotman-----Perry----Harding ----------------Wotton--------------- ---------Mellis----------Schneiderlin--- Papa W-------------------------Lallana ----------------Lambert--------------- That would be my team.

Hmmm, don't think there will be as many walk ups tonight due to the match day prices. £18 for adults & £15 for seniors/young adults is pretty steep for this competition imo. There is also no discount for ST holders buying on the night either.

Just been told just over 14k sold so far for tonight.

Wow is the only word I can use to describe that goal.

Only game I've not managed to get mine was for Torquay but only because I left that till a few days before the game. All the rest have been fine.

Something to do before i die fo sho.

+1. Really bad news although atleast we have the squad depth to cover it.

Tranmere – currently 17,500 Norwich – currently 9,500 Exeter – currently 19,000 According to teh TO.

2-0 Saints

Can't wait for this one, bring it on!

Saints Vs Rotheram or Luton
