    I was very fortunate to have been invited to the party tonight. Marque on the pitch, great dinner and the drink flowed. Pyrotechnics on arrival, carpeted and draped throughout, plant lined candle lit walkways, interviews, a big firework display and an Abba tribute band. And smoking in the ground!

    All the staff were there, directors, coaches, players, front and back room staff, many stewards, and the great and good of Southampton, and me :)

    In Nigels interview, on the now usual elevated soft sofas, he was asked about players coming in. He said, and I suggest we all take note of his sentiments, that this was a promotion celebration, achieved by the squad and wider team of people in the room and beyond, they achieved it and they deserved the applause and it wasn't the time to talk about new faces.
    now that sounds like a good night out.
    And nigels response is spot on,let the club employees enjoy the moment and party for a while,they have earned it.players and back room staff have done us proud and to start talking about who goes and who stays is a bit premature.lets enjoy the moment and see what
    happens in the summer.until the season kicks off again i will
    just relive all the season on saints player,smile at whats happened over the season and thank my lucky stars i'm not a skunt."

Almost half of Saints fans believe that Nigel Adkins’ summer transfer priority should be to bolster his defence.

In an exclusive dailyecho.co.uk poll, almost 2,000 supporters voted on where Saints should strengthen before their Premier League campaign kicks off.

And 42 per cent want Adkins to add to his defensive ranks with 25 making a central midfielder their priority, 21 per cent a winger, eight per cent a goalkeeper and just four per cent a new striker.

Saints did have the second best defensive record in the Championship, conceding just 46 goals over their 46 league games.

But they are short of Premier League experience with only three of the Saints defence having featured in the top flight a handful of times.
