Just talked about it on Sky...the view is that he is not being allowed in during the game because he would kick somebody
Well done Franny. Nice to see you welcomed home to the heart of the Southampton family, where you belong. Legend. Thought Ron could have brought him on for 10 minutes at the end.
It's these feel good moments and pride in the Saints family that were sadly lacking during Nicola's reign, that make me so proud to be a Saints fan. Well done Franny you ****ing hero! It's not all about what happens on the pitch.

I had a tear in my eye from the 44th minute. The noise for Franny was fabulous. Well done Franny #legend Well done Saints fans.
I don't know about you, but I feel a bit guilty about Franny. I don't know the rights and wrongs of his argument with Nicola, but I'm so glad he is back in the fold.

Fantastic, real lump in the throat moment. I loved Franny before, there arn't the words for my admiration for him. If you haven't donated. DO IT.
He's back where he belongs. That's all that matters. He is such a nice fella. I heard some stories today of the things he is doing for people. Top, top man. When my mate put him on the phone to me this week, he sounded so genuine and had time for me rather than glibly humouring me. Really decent man. Mods - any chance we could sticky this thread for a couple of weeks please? Just as he's finished it may slip off page one and another week or two may get some to put another pound or two donation in.
