Our lives can be planned again

Saints have a plum opening day fixture at home to the giants of Yorkshire Leeds, although this is a exciting start to the season and sure to be a big crowd, possibly even our third opening day live on TV game in a row, in some respects we would have been better having our following visitors Millwall on that day and the fixtures reversed from an attendance point of view.

The visit of the Hammers is also long awaited and that will be on 18th October

Key dates that Saints fans will be looking for on the road are the chances to visit the fine City's  of Reading on October 22nd, Portsmouth on December 17th and Brighton on January 2nd with the corresponding home meetings on 14th April, 7th April & 19th November.

Other dates that Saints fans might be interested in are the Xmas period when we play palace on Boxing Day followed by Bristol City at home on Sat 31st, with a trip to Selhurst park on Easter Monday 9th April and also Blackpoll which will be on March 31st.

Evening away games include Cardiff on 27th Sept, West Han on Tues 14th Feb, Hull Tues 20th march & Peterborough on 17th April.
