Saints will hold the first of their new fans' forums on Thursday, August 16.

Chairman Ralph Krueger, vice chairman Les Reed and manager Mark Hughes will all be on the panel for the event, which will take place from 7pm-8pm at St Mary’s and is hosted by BBC Radio Solent’s Adam Blackmore.

The club confirmed in a statement: “A total of 400 tickets will be available for the event, which will take place in the Mike Channon Suite and which is open to Season Ticket holders and Official Members only.

“The price will be £2 per ticket, with 100 per cent of the money going towards Saints Foundation and the vital work it carries out in the community.

“The club has also recently launched a new Saints Voice supporters’ panel that will meet regularly with staff at St Mary’s about a wide variety of issues, the first of which will be at Saints' opening game of the season against Burnley.

“The Mike Channon Suite is fully accessible, but if you have any questions or additional requirements, please contact our Supporter Relations team on 02380 711980 or by emailing supporterrelations@saintsfc.co.uk. Those registered as a disabled supporter on our system can bring an enabler without the enabler requiring a ticket.

“Tickets will be sold online only, via tickets.saintsfc.co.uk and are on sale from tomorrow at 9am.”
