It is a sign of how disallusioned Saints fans are that Tottenham Hotspur a home game that is usually sold out in advance still has tickets available
At the start of the day around 500 tickets are still available for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, most of them in the Northam End and Kingsland Corner.
This say a lot about the current disallusionment among Saints fans that a big game like this is not selling out, although there are certainly other factors including the fact that it is a televised 4pm kick off on a Sunday and to a lesser extent the weather.
Indeed it is perhaps the awful weather that may mean that the last 500 tickets will not be sold, with rain forecast all day it is not going to encourage many to make a last minute decision to attend the game.
But whether the ground is full or not, it needs those Saints supporters there to get behind the team and make it one of those games that makes those who stayed away wish that they had gone after all.
