I thought we could do with a separate thread as it's all getting mixed in with normal Saints Stuff. The games remaining are Sat 21st July 3pm - Derby County v Saints Sat 28th July 2pm - Dijon FCO v Saints Wed 1st Aug 7.45pm - Saints v Celta Vigo Sat 4th Aug 3pm - Saints v Borussia Monchengladbach
Looking forward to tomorrow's game and seeing our new lads for the first time. Will post my thoughts after the game
Good idea, Whiteley. Needs a separate thread. Tomorrow's game will be interesting.....especially seeing our new players.
I saw on Facebook that Derby are exclusively streaming today’s game on their own tv channel. I think someone said it costs £5 to register, but I haven’t checked that out.
I am going to the game today as it’s only 5 miles away. Makes a change to my normal 150 miles trip to see Saints play. Anybody else going?
I once went to see Troyes play Dijon in a second tier league match one Friday evening. This was probably about 6 years ago. It was a terrible game of football, both teams bordering on incompetent. There was hardly any atmosphere except for a group of "ultras" trying to drum up support within a 1/3 rd full stadium. Given what was happening on this pitch, this was extremely incongruous. Neither team seemed to have grasped that the principle of football was to put the ball in the back of the net. The ultimate goal scored by an ESTAC forward from Brazil was a comedic deflection if my memory served me correctly. Were Dijon one of the French teams who once flirted with a female manager ?

Sadly not DL, my lad goes off to India tomorrow for a month in his World Challenge Expedition. His mum thinks that a trip to Derby on his last day isn’t a good plan.
