TODAY is the first time I've felt disgusted with Southampton Football Club.
Like many people, I attended the open training session at St Mary's.
Following a really great morning, we joined the queue at 12.40pm to get my son's football signed by the players. He had talked of nothing else since we got the tickets.
At 3.10pm they closed the doors and said that was it. My son and disabled father, who were practically at the door, had queued all that time and were deeply upset. However, what made it worse was the small children behind them who were in tears.
Why allow people to queue knowing they would never get there? I am sad to be a Saints supporter today when they treat young fans like this.
I am sure the players could have given up an extra 30 minutes just to have cleared the queue.
