The games now on Sky and on Friday 13 to boot.
Is nothing going to go right for us this year? (tongue in cheek remark before all the saddo's start slagging me off)

Actually, this could be a massive statement if we go out and claim three points before the chasing pack has kicked a ball on Saturday. I think it'll work out quite nicely.
P.S Good luck Glenn with getting you spon's back or at least flight changed. Hope your commitment is recognised mate!

£84 to change flight from LBA to Soton, I think I will try and get sky to reimburse me the money or give me a months free subscription otherwise I will cancel the lot. Saints say Sky dictate to them what games and K.O times etc. what a **** up, my brother in law has booked 20 coperate suit places for the Saturday game.

Plenty of time for club to get those seats sold, no excuses. Game on the big screen let's make sure the atmosphere of our sold out stadium reaches pubs, clubs and homes........... Never know we could end up with Pompey based fans of the future!

Nice one Saints, just wasted £248.00 on return flights from Leeds plus £75 on corperate suit, bloody fuming, bleeding sky tv, I bet they wont refund me flight money, well P****d off.
Check your legal cover on your house insurance or cover from your credit card, it might be worth it

It will be a crucial game, as Reading are making a serious run for a top 3 spot. I still think Saints, West Ham and Birmingham will be fighting for the top 2 places come the end of the season. Hoping the Billy Sharp miss at West Ham doesn't come back to haunt us. Nigel, please get Chaplow back in the team ASAP. With him in there, and Lallana back to his best I believe we could have a similar run to last season.

Great news for those of us across the pond, but I feel for all the fans that have made travel arrangements that need to be changed. Sky should definately reimburse fans affected by the change.

might upset the likes of red army but we only have a core 19k so if it's on telly it won't help unless we go unbeaten til then.
another thing that pi55es me off is where the visiting supporters are placed, I know the logistical probs but it looks cr@p on the highlights when its empty behind the goal.

The seats need to be sold full stop, the price of a seat is not all that is lost, sales of food and drink too. It's up to club to promote itself, stadium on tv half full isn't a good advert.
