Saints At Eastleigh The Preview
Saints travel to the Silverlake Stadium to face Eastleigh in what is now an annual pre season fixture.
Usually this game is played a lot earlier in the pre season calendar meaning that its usually a strong squad that takes the pitch to face the spitfires, however with its position only five days before the start of the season and adding to that the number of injuries Saints already have, I would suspect that it will be pretty much a reserve side that runs out tonight.
That being the case it does give some of the fringe players another chance to prove their mettle and that being the case it should be a lot more competitive than usual.
Kick off is at 7.45pm and admission is £10 for adults with concessions £6 and those under 12 £4
