Nah they're charging £44 on the bingo bus leaving at 5.15am , fair play to anyone making the trip!

I know when Cardiff went there they just charged Cardiff £24 which was same price Leeds paid in Wales, not really sure how they work it out or what the catch is but would be nice for Saints to at least explain why they didn't agree to it. I'll definitely be swerving this, watching Leeds celebrating promotion with loads of them in our end would be horrific.

You'd hope Cov would start to have one eye on the FA Cup semi but they do look like a decent side at the moment. An insight from their end https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/southampton-coventry-city-match-thread-tuesday-9th-apr.158325/

We didn't sell out , loads left in upper tier

RMs defence of Baz was so extreme I think deep down he knew he was lumbered with a keeper who was going to be a liability, went so over the top praising him looks a bit silly in hindsight. A colleague of mine follows Republic of Ireland home and away and doesn't rate him either but they're resigned to not qualifying for tournaments with the likes of Baz, Manning and Smallbone in the team.

Looks like we've sold about 2300 , not bad really , 2100 in half the lower tier and couple of hundred in upper tier above, it was one of the grounds we'd take very few to in the 90s, I'll always associate Ewood Park with this goal, classic Saints score goal of the season and still manage to lose

John Eustace good appointment for them. 2-2 draw I reckon

We should let Wilcox go but only if Man Utd also give us £25M for Ross Stewart

I agree we didn't deserve to lose based on overall performance, but we did as we can't finish teams off and our defending / keeper isn't good enough.

That's amateur Sunday league defending isn't it, actually worse than that. Switched off.

Agreed, time to go, take Bazunu with him

We need to save him for the more important play off games

FFS stop being a troll

Doesn't bode well for our ultras group 😒

I think you're right mate, might have a few quid on Ipswich and both teams to score

It's really hard to warm to Martin and his walking football, clearly we've not done enough for the top two and will rely on the lottery of the play offs that is looking like Leicester will be one of the four,

Plenty of tickets available on general sale for Blackburn and Leicester away currently. Blackburn - looks like we sold most of the initial 2100, they've added some more in upper tier now . Ipswich have about 5000 going up there on Friday, don't think we'll get anywhere near that. Leicester away - 3300 allocation, still about 500 left on general sale, most of the allocation sold when this was scheduled to be a Friday night game, not such a rush to buy for rearranged date, hard to know if anything to play for still by then.

I agree with you, just saying some of these lads playing Tuesday night could pick up a knock, Wednesday travel day, training ground either Wednesday afternoon/ Thursday leaves very little prep time. Do Middlesbrough have any many away?

We'll have a few players only returning from international duty on Thursday, not ideal preparation for a game on Friday, can definitely see Martin trying to be clever with one eye on the Ipswich game. 6 of those players listed still have internationals to play this week.

It is funny Tella will be lifting the trophy instead of Harry Kane at Munich. Probably makes sense that we sold Tella when we did and fingers crossed we get a bonus if they win it.

Yeah he was awful last season and had given up hope on him coming good, he's an important player for us now and offers a lot. Rangers fans really liked him , maybe just took him time to adjust.

Personally I'll be moaning about the international break and the inevitable injury to one or our players that will occur during it. Anyone know if they've taken the squad away this week? For the non-internationals a 3 week break at this point of the season is a great opportunity to recharge ready for the run in

We won't , tough one for Martin to manage , needs to keep the players focused and try to end the season with momentum going into the play offs. Watching Leeds lift the title last game of the season will be a bit of a downer or could inspire them to go on and win a bit of silverware ourselves.

Feels like the pressure is off now so hopefully Martin let's the players have some freedom, particularly going forward take some risks and be creative instead of focusing on keeping the ball.

If we're going to go up it will have to be via the play offs so at least that will be good, but overall don't miss the Premier League at all, never watch any PL games anymore and not really interested in the hype.
