1. We seem to now have a youth firm of around 30 Burberry clad 16-18 year olds that go home and away and made a bit of a noise at Hillsborough, both at half time and during the game.
2. It was nice to be able to park about a 10 minute walk to the ground on the street
3. Went to a nice little back street pub that was still a working class boozer, warm welcome, if I had had a pint of carling it was under £4 and a pint of cruz campo was £4.80 . Guinness £4.50, no frills sadly there are few pubs like this left in Southampton.
4. Hillsborough is looking tired which is sad, its a traditional looking ground , but in fairness its all been built since the 1960's
5. I thought the keeper should have done better for their goal, but did redeem himself with that late save |  |

A beer from one of the kiosks outside the Betlin Olympic Stadium was €6 I think (I had both my offspring with me, so I sent them to the bar). However, you got €2 back when returning your plastic cup (or gave it to one of the entrepreneurial gentlemen of the road, who returned it for you 🙂)
Crowd was only around 45000, so half empty, and the standard of football was below the Championship. Atmosphere was much better through, despite a protest from both sets of fans about policing |  | | |

Re 1. Yes I’ve noticed them On away games. I know many won’t like it and find it cringeworthy but I say fair play to them they’re only having fun at a young age and keeping the Saints support going. When I last went to Fulham I walked into a pub which was full of these lads having a good time with saints flags all over the pub and they weren’t causing trouble. |  |

We were in the Upper and went outside at half time. The 'youth firm' were a group of 30 odd yokels in snide Burberry and Stone Island stood behind a very small barrier. Chanting rubbish like "you're seen Southampton, now f**k off home" to the Wednesday supporters leaving.
We binned the game off at halftime as the Irish pub we were in pre match had a live music session and we wanted to watch/listen to that instead.
What was amazing is how the 30 odd 'lads' could not move the barrier between them. I moved it very easily and myself and my mate causally strolled out past the stewards and old bill and made our way back to the boozer.
I won't bore you with my opinons on that James Bree song. |  | | |

They're no different than any other young lads. Every club has got them . | |

You even get them at Eastleighs home matches.
A bit intimidating for the young kiddies. |  | | |

I've seen them at Eastleigh and Saints. Let them have a shout, let off some aggression, a bit of harmless fun and creating some noise in support of our clubs. Better than causing trouble on the streets. | |

i was on the train home from a recent saints game where we were held at Eastleigh station for about 15 minutes due to fighting between Eastleigh youth and Aldershot youth. Police everywhere. | |

I thought the Burberry clad nippers were a complete embarrassment. | | | |

I’m all for encouraging the nippers.
They are ultimately the future of the fanbase, particularly the away support.
I just don’t get this thing about singing in concourses more than during the game.
Must be my age, I guess…… |  |

Before Saturday the only time I'd been to Hillsborough was 42 years back on
Sunday 11 March 1984 for an FA Cup match which ended 0 0 in font of a crowd of over 40,030
https://www.11v11.com/matches/
The only thing I can remember about the day (had a few cold drinks) was a lad right near me threw a smoke bomb on the pitch (think it was during 1nd half)
The terrace was full and guessing about 5000 Saints, maybe more there;
anyone else go? [Post edited 3 Mar 13:28]

Do you not remember the bus convoy (almost a pre-curser to the Skate bubbles!) going at about 10mph!
We got our own bachelor with a 5-0 or 5-1 win at The Dell! |  |

Saints coaches at Hillsborough went for miles up the hill to the North of the ground |  | | |

Fantastic turnout from Saints that day. The line of coaches stretched out of sight, well over 100 !
The return was a cracking night at the Dell, but was nursing a flattened nose from a mob of Wednesday who were brave enough to come into the Lord Loius before the game, before they were unceremoniously dumped back onto the street ! | | | |
