Saints Face Swindon Town
Saints face Swindon Town in the 2nd round of the Carling Cup.
The tie to be played next tuesday August 30th 7.45pm will evoke memories in older fans of the two times Saints drew the robins in the same competition in the 1980's especially the 1989/90 epic where Saints after a 0-0 draw at the County Ground, a postponed replay found themselves 2-0 down at the Dell before rallying to win 4-2.
The ticket details and pricing etc will be announced soon, what sort of side Saints put out will maybe take a little longer but I wouldnt hold out too much hope that it will be anything like our first XI
