Saints Fans Needed To Contribute To Oral History Of The Club.
Saints supporters contributions are needed for the oral history section of an upcoming exhibition on the Southampton Football Club in 2018
As many of you may know, a major exhibition about Southampton FC is being staged at the Sea City Museum between late March and October 2018.
As a part of preparations, the museum is looking to hear from supporters as to why they support the Saints and what makes them regularly travel to follow their beloved team.
On 29 October 2017, an oral historian commissioned by the museum, Padmini Broomfield, will be travelling to the Brighton match either to record brief interviews and/or to take contact details from supporters who might want to contribute. (Note: There can be no guarantee that all contributions will be used in whole or in part.)
Just to stress that this is not about the club or the team’s performance on the pitch but what fires you up to follow the Saints.
The club has arranged for Padmini to travel with the Saints Travel Club in the company of the steward on coach 3, Barry Webb. However, please be assured that this is not just about people making their way to Brighton on the Saints Travel Club.
And, don’t forget that we are still seeking unusual Saints memorabilia to display in the exhibition.
So, please look out for Padmini (with Barry) at Brighton [or at St Mary’s] before and after the match, and make contact if you wish.
If you are not able to meet Padmini on the day but would like to do so, please either speak to Barry Webb or e-mail him at

No Togetherness No Character No FightNot my words, but those of Southampton manager Russell Martin, who should ask himself the question why two months ago we had all those attributes and now we don't !
Southampton At Leicester The DebacleThe big question is how can a side that was so tight at the back, so clinical up front and who could pass the ball around almost with their eyes closed, become the disorganised rabble that they were at the Leicester City this evening.
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.
A Rough Guide To Leicester City FCSaints head up to Leicester City this evening with their automatic promotion hopes just about over, so for the 3,000 fans who bought their tickets when there was hope here are the details.
Southampton At Cardiff City The VerdictThere can be no excuses for this defeat, a loss that effectively means that it will be a play off spot and not an automatic promotion place for Southampton, so where did it all go wrong.
