    Wonder about the game on Saturday if it is as bad as it looks tbh.

    Oh well, more hours of my life to sink into FF7 Rebirth, as if it needed it.

    Sounding very melodramatic here, but does anyone with actual knowledge of these things reckon the Chapel Stand could have sustained some heat damage here?

    It'll be the first time if it has. Luke warm at most matches.

    I have no actual knowledge, but I'm pretty sure the vicinity of the fire to the stand/stadium and the ferocity of it will mean an inspection before any supporters can be let in.

    No more than the accrued heat from hundreds of people sitting under their electric blankets, every match day

    Fair play, that's a great gesture.

    A spokesman for the Saints Megastore said "We were going to wait until the end of the season before we held a fire sale, but we've decided to start early"

    Hopefully, this is a typo from the BBC report about the fire:

    Southampton City Council said the following roads have been shut:

    • Albert Road North
    • Britannia Road
    • Chapel Road
    • Melbourne Street
    • Britannia Road
    • Millbank Road
    • Pedestrian has also been suspended from Northam Road

    We were already up against it and this really hasn't helped matters.

    April was already looking incredibly tough with Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds (4th May) all away, as well as a couple of play off hopefulls in the mix.

    Throw in yet another fixture and we have 9 games in 34 days which just happens to be our hardest run of the season.

    If we can’t play games at St Marys .

    I guess it will be at Fratton Park ?

    might as well get used to it

    Hopefully they don't all get maximum points in their extra game, because having two games in hand knowing we need to win both to stand still will be a disadvantage mentally I would have thought.

    Still, need to focus on the job at hand I guess.
