Match Day Thread Saints v AFC Bournemouth Sat 27th April 3pm

Bertrand & Armstrong are doubts.
Targett is fit again.
Vestegaard is out.

No mention of McCarthy.

 

Armstrong is a miss. Thought he did well in the last game.
Annoying having berty out, but he has not been stellar.
Should be an open game, perhaps a 2-2.

 

I smell victory. 3-1

 

Contributions will be most welcome

 

Can we expect a large police presence on Saturday or is it a good natured affair?
I'm hoping to down a few beers beforehand but concerned the pubs will be affected.

 

Didn’t the police bring the horses along, last season/season before?

 

This may not be relevant (but when has that ever mattered?) but the club are advertising £19 season tickets for Under-11s, in the Family Enclosure. £1 a game to watch Saints Premier league matches. And in the increasingly unlikely scenario of us being relegated, it will be even better value - 23 games

 

Northam, I’m afraid.

 

It's 19 quid in the family section ya tight ****er

 

Judging by the past two seasons there will be a very visible police presence, way over the top actually imo, but the pubs etc. won't be affected and can still have a normal build up.

I'd avoid heading Northam road and six dials way after the match though.

 

Should have read ahead

 

Lawro's predicting us to win 2-0, based on the fact that Bournemouth don't have any fit defenders. That should guarantee success, but not necessarily for the Saints.

 

Im fairness, I wouldnt accept a season ticket in the family zone for free. May as well stream it from home, get a better atmosphere!

I would rather sit in the family section that sit in the Northam end. Especially after a fried that used to do the 90mins YouTube thing started getting death threats when they got him a ticket for there. Needless to say he does not do them anymore. Also as a socially awkward person it’s a less intimidating place to sit. The northam to me feels like going into a local only pub. Though my main preference is Itchen near the away fans.

 

Weather looking bad for the time I will be travelling to match. I want the situation to be clear...either ok or ferries cancelled. Hate the dithering middle ground. However best to look on the good side...yesterday I went to Leonardslee Gardens (open again after many years)….weather forecast said windy and rain all day....reality not a drop of rain.

 

I’d sit anywhere to see my team.

 

Godders lap?

 

Rather there than him on my lap ... might get a bit damp going by what he’s said about his bladder.

 

I take pills for my bladder now and it has given me a new lease of life. In fact I take so many pills I sound like a baby's rattle when I walk.
