WALKING from St Mary’s to Wembley stadium they could be forgiven for fancying a swift one before they set off on the journey.

The team of Saints fans trekking 120 miles to the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy are holding a fundraising evening on March 20 to help toward their £5,000 target.

Raising cash for the Everyman charity the team will be raffling off a signed Saints shirt and the chance to win a signed match-ball from the final itself to be donated by organisers Johnstone’s Paint.

Yesterday we revealed that fans had recorded their own cup final song.

A silent auction is also being held for the special prize, a replica 1966 World Cup England away shirt signed by hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst. Revellers will also be entertained by music from Vulcan with the party expected to go long into the night.

The team will set off on the walk two days before the big match and complete the last 20-miles on the day of the game.

Glynn Root, 30, has organised the fundraising evening at the St Mary’s pub, he said: “We’re already halfway to the total and we really want to reach that £5,000 target and this is obviously going to help us towards that.”

The team taking on the trek is organiser Graham Harris alongside Brett Shepherd, David Foot, Glynn Root, Tim Patston, Gary Pompa, Ray Mead, Wilson Massey, Tony Dyke and Daimon Brown.
