    There's nothing worse than a cold, wet Tuesday night in January. Arguably a cold, wet Monday night in January just pips it. Early January too, after the New Year celebrations are but a memory. The only good thing about it is that one is only 6-7 weeks away from getting out of winter.

    I've just made myself miserable reading that back before posting. :(

    A wet Wednesday in August isn't a bundle of laughs either. :(

    I'd quite like to go to Swansea actually when is it this year?

    You seem to be forgetting that the club subsidised the cost of away tickets and travel at least a couple of times last season as I recall.

    Have to wait until next Wed when they go on general sale. Will be going if tickets are still available. Be like the old days of league 1. This season it's Newcastle, Huddersfield and Burnley, 1 less than last season.

    That's Summer up here. I missed a wet cold Tuesday in League 1 against Oldham. Was it 5-0 or 7-0 to Saints. Doh! Just checked 0-6.

    Does anyone still use the term North Island, for the mainland. Was quite popular in the 60's if I remember correctly. No I didn't live in New Zealand.

    Did they?

    Pretty sure that was Virgin rather than the club themselves but happy to be corrected.

    Unfortunately don't think I will as I'm planning on making a weekend of Newcastle which is around that time too :(

    Have to look at funds nearer the time!

    Saints did a deal with Virgin who provided the funds, certainly, but the initiative came from the club.

    Not sure about that myself. Although Virgin did subsidise every away fan to visit here too.

    Would be a huge shame if you missed out mate, can't see them getting to general.

    If there's still a few left the night before members then drop me a pm and I'll try and grab you one <ok>

    I don't think it will even go to STH to be honest. :emoticon-0101-sadsm There's not many left now, by Friday the chances of me getting two look a bit hopeful.

    Doesn't look like it. Hopefully we have left the option for more.

    Work changes will make it hard for me to make many games but I'm looking at City, United, Burnley, Everton and Watford games as the most likely
