1. Although fog all the way up and back, it was an easy trip both ways was back in Southampton including a stop about 9.45.
2. The seating area in the away end was pretty steep, but it gave a brilliant view
3. There were 3,000 Saints fans there, but we made little noise
4. Preston is a town full of traffic lights, about 25 mins to get to the ground from the motorway and the same going back for a journey of 2.5 miles
5. We lacked variation and a plan B |  |

1/ Lol you got home (Leigh 25 miles away) before me! However staying in The Black Horse till 2100, was a bit of a handicap! However matters got worse after an easy 13 min train to Wigan with very few WHU fans, my Bus Driver decided 15 mins after leaving Wigan that it was too foggy to continue and stopped in the middle of nowhere  . Our option was to get off or wait until improved  which was definitively not going to happen. I elected to walk 20 mins till I came across a pub and Mrs EoA came to the rescue after missing a few turns that she missed till gone past! Got home 2330  |  | | |

1. It was like we were playing in that fog for the first 30 mins
2. Your first time in that away end Nick ?
3. Saints didn't even have a shot for 30 mins and gave nothing to cheer about
4. White Hart pub is about 10-15 mins walk and has easy M6 access
5. We were poor, predictable, pathetic in front of goal and played like we have at most of our away games this season. Their keeper had a blinder. They got lucky with a few deflections. Our defence panics and makes too many stupid, unnecessary errors. [Post edited 9 Nov 15:55]

I think that we will have a following around half the size at Sheffield United away, but we will make more noise.
A lot of our fans are "sing when we're winning" types and you won't hear anything from them if we are losing, apart from incessant loud whingeing in the particular case of the bloke stood behind me on Saturday, who probably resented me trying to get behind the team. Those sort of people just encourage me to do it more.
There remains a big entitlement factor in large elements of the fanbase. |  |

Re 4. Nick
I’ve often heard the phrase “ Southampton has a huge amount of traffic lights” and as someone who works on the road I can confirm this. This also backs it up.
I googled which city has the most lights and this came up
cities and towns—such as Southampton (frequently claimed to have a high density of lights per kilometre or per head), London (simply due to its massive size and road network), and various other congestion-heavy areas—frequently compete for the title in popular opinion, without any definitive national census backing the claims |  |
