Well we got here. Flight on time, plane empty only about 30-40 on it, including the Chairman and CEO. Sure if they hadn't put cost up to stupid £ then may have sold some more seats.

We off to King Alfred pub soon, it's near the ground, Skylark seen an invite on a Southampton site saying we'll be made welcome, so off there for some football craic.

Weather pretty miserable but never know it may brighten up.

Think away end will be sparse with fans latest report states of the 1100 tickets sent to Pools a grand total of 18 had been sold. Hopefully the ex-pat's will swell the numbers'

Southampton one mind on Wembley, next Sunday, Pools have won next games after goal-less draws this season so odds of 11/2 the away win seem good to me.

Will try to post a match report later tonight after a few more beers so apologies now for it not making any sense.

Southampton 0 Pools 2....O'Donovan and Monkhouse.

Rain getting worse.
