Southampton away memories

[Pal]

Southampton away always reminds me of standing in those sheep pens on the banking at the away end, being herded in by the stewards.

Two abiding memories from years ago;
Warming up before the game Les smacked a ball and it hit one member of the marching band they had there, sparked him out cold.

A few years later when what was the away end at the dell, had been turned into a home stand and we were along one side, there was a huge fat saints fan waliking down the stepps with a pie in each hand, cue the ineveitable 'who ate all the pies chant', when his bird stood up and had a right pop at us, prompting 'you're fat and your birds a ####' was probably a dull game.

That fat and your birds a #### Went on for most of the game.

Strimmer wire and ten p's in foil to pretend they were 50p's were brave.
