    I am an ST holder and didn't get one today, maybe tomorrow?

    Edit: No, I didn't get one, must be something I said!

    On the back of the voucher card (well, my voucher card) the fixture is shown as being on Saturday.

    So, just to cling desperately to my conspiracy theory, the cards were probably printed first, after Ralph was offered the job, but before the match was moved to Sunday. The letters were all set up (Mail Merge, or similar) then tweaked to say 'Sunday'.

    Anyway, I can use this as a diversionary tactic, to avoid talking about the match. However, if I'm pushed, I think we will lose 2-0.

    My dad didn’t get his yet either. Doubt they’d send them all out in one batch, the postie wouldn’t like that this close to Christmas

    I haven't had mine either. I'm regretting throwing my ST into the directors' box now.

    I took aim and thought to myself "what would Shane do in this stuation". It went over the roof of the Itchen.

    It now lives happily in the atmosphere with Harry Arters penalty.

    Nope just the score 2 - 0 which his oppo David Ginola also goes with. Merson says 1 - 3 to Arsenal.

    I`m going 2-1 Saints. For a change, the opposition will have more posession, but we`ll take our chances when they come. COYS!

    Goon v carrierbag is at walking pace. Very dull thus far. More chance of a boredom injury than a muscle pull!

    There will be a few very happy about the change. A new chance to cement their place.
    I'm happy with that, I just want the same old mistakes cut out. We can't keep missing, and we can't keep conceding like we have been. Its been utter madness.

    Piece from the Ugly Inside discussing the fact that there are seats available for Sunday (no surprise for various reasons) but unusually many are in the Northam and the Kingsland stand next to the Northam...where you tend to find the noisiest supporters (I won't say hard core because there will be people in other stands who are die hard supporters, but don't want to be in a noisy, jostling zone). However, the Northam is an area where it used to be hard to get tickets, which does suggest that fans are falling away and even the promise of a new manager hasn't caused reengagement. I suspect there will be some who buy on the day.

    I have turned into an occasional attendee...both for personal reasons and because there is little prospect of entertainment. I went to the first game of the season where we were initially appalling, but then got better...and we could have sneaked it. I can only point to my experience....once you stop going regularly, you end up not going at all...the club has to give us something to look forward to and fans will return.

    Well done to those who persist in going, COYR
