Hull City Away Sold Out
Yet another sold out away day as Saints great backing on the road continues with a long haul trip up to Kingston Upon Hull.
There might be a few empty seats at St Mary's this season, but on the road its a different matter as Saints sell out their allocation for a Premier league away game for the fifth consecutive time this season.
I have at times complained about the failure to sell out St Mary's over the past year, but something I cant moan about is the superb backing given to Saints by those supporters who travel away to support the club.
Hull City will be our fifth league game on the road this season and its the fifth sell out, add to that the 5,000 who travelled to Arsenal and another 1,000 or so who went to Millwall in the Capital One Cup and its brilliant to see so many follow Saints away from home.
Next away game though is perhaps the most important of the season so far, the trip to Stoke City could open the path for a run to Wembley for a final, with it being half term week hopefully there will be a bigger following than might otherwise have been, so if you are still deciding to go up to the Brittannia or not, get your tickets quickly before they sell out.

Southampton At Leicester City The PreviewSaints travel up to Leicester knowing that it is almost certain that they will just be in the play offs come the end of the season, however there is still the feint hope of 3rd place to play for, however the Foxes are playing for a bigger prize.
