IT’S a game with the highest stakes imaginable – the future of Southampton FC.

While those trying to negotiate a takeover of the club are involved in a seemingly never ending game of bluff, fans can do their part at Grosvenor Casino tonight.

A poker tournament has been organised with all proceeds going straight to the club, which failed to pay its staff this week.

Entry is open to anyone and costs £15, with the matches beginning at 7.45pm tonight. A buffet is included in the price.
