A large swanky team coach with Southampton FC on the dash and big badge on side of coach is parked in the Haven/PremInn Carpark.
Any 'behind closed doors' game going on tonight....?
Strange that they would be here in sunny Grimsby.

First team players and staff heading to Switzerland for a quick break according to their official website.

Perhaps it's the youth team. They might show them round Blundell Park as a warning as to how their lives may end up if they don't knuckle down and apply themselves.

They'll probably make them tread in some dog shite in the surrounding streets to really force the point home. |

Certainly remember the two cup replays, including my only visit to the Dell.
Osgood, Ball Etc and town drew 0-0 before losing the 2nd replay 4-1.
That was the last time we played them, Jan 1978

The only league team who we haven't played in any competition for a longer time than Southampton is Man United who we last played in 1948. (apart from Stevenage who we have never played) |

We only won 8 games that season but we beat Manure at Old Trafford and drew at BP. As a point of interest the highest home gate that season was against Blackpool ( 25,576 ) which was a lot more than the Christmas Day game against Chelsea ( 19,666 ). This was the season we got relegated from the old First Division, the last home game of the season against Charlton attracted 8,655 and we finished bottom 10 points adrift of the next team. |

Crikey !
I seem to remember walking to the last Southampton league game at
Blundell Park from my home at New Waltham.
If my memory is correct it was on a Good Friday and the buses were
all full of holiday makers from the Fitties by the time they got to Peaks
Lane and wouldn't stop for us.I think we lost 1 - 0 to a goal by their
star centre forward, Charlie Wainman (or something similar) .
Can anyone on here who is more clued up on the internet ( that means
anyone ) tell me if the Good Friday and the score bits are correct.
Who knows, Grimsby Pete might have been driving that bloody bus!

The 2nd replay was at Filbert Street and I was still queuing to get in when Southampton scored the first goal
If I remember correctly, the Saints fans were put in the corner to the opposite left of the main stand, we were stood in what was to become the visitors section to the left of the home end as you look at it, quite a few Leicester fans turned up in what was their normal section in the middle of the end terracing and there was quite a bit of banter going on as to what they would do with us at the end of the game then sometime after the game had started hundreds more Town fans appeared being walked around the edge of the pitch to be put into the other side of the Leicester fans who were then basically surrounded. Come the end of the game and we all marched out they had somehow disappeared. |

It could not have been me, I would have kicked the trippers off the bus to make room for the town fans. |

The driver must be staying over due to taco hours as one of the players (James Prowce) has tweeted a selfie on the plane.

I vaguely remember some other friendly/testimonial vs Saints when i was young; bobby cumming one? Also, there was one (same one or a later one?) where the Saints subs were something like Shearer, Ray Wallace and Rod Wallace, and we laughed at the twin Wallaces and ignored the Shearer bloke..... It could have been LeTissier not Shearer, not sure, must be getting old  |

April 1960 Pete. We beat Southampton on a Tuesday night 3-2. They were already promoted from Div 3 and their side included Brian Clifton and Derek Reeve who scored their goals plus Terry Paine on the right wing. Johnny Scott was on fire that night and he combined with Don Donovan brilliantly to give Ron Raff two of Town's goals. Brian Clifton was an old fashioned wing half but after his knee injury he converted to centre half. Not very tall but he won headers OK. Good cricketer too for Ross Group. |

I spotted the big black Southampton coach heading into the Town centre at 5am this morning. BT Sport would make a feature out of this.

Certainly remember the two cup replays, including my only visit to the Dell.
Osgood, Ball Etc and town drew 0-0 before losing the 2nd replay 4-1.
That was the last time we played them, Jan 1978
I was there that night at Filbert Street Leicester, I remember their left back, David Peach, tore us to bits. UTM |

In the first leg Mike Brolly executed a great overhead shot on goal. Can't remember if it was saved or went wide, but it was fantastically athletic. Didn't go to the replay at the Dell, but I vaguely remember that the Town team had to pop into Norris the Rubber Man to buy a new pale blue fourth kit, because the stripes, then the red 2nd and white 3rd kits were not deemed to be sufficiently different to Southampton's strip. Hitched from university over to Leicester for the re-replay with a supporter who I still see in the Pontoon -- I remember a great Town turnout there. |
